I agree Xtina needs to sing soul blues and R&B! Bionic was a GREAT album with a view BEAUTIFUL songs(lift me up, You lost me)but i think that album failed because of the first single and musicvideo.. It was too Madonna/Gaga and it was not the Xtina people fell in love with.. thats why she had HUGE succes with her albums Stripped and Back to Basics.. They where very original and made her stand out! No other female in the game had a 'Dirrty' ' Beautiful' 'Fighter' ' The Voice Within' 'Ain't No Other Man' 'CandyMan' or 'Hurt' She had her own style,and people where amazed and respected Xtina! i think with Bionic people did not take her so serious anymore..and loose interest.. I hope she can make a GREAT album .. a follow up to Back to Basics like Bionic and Lotus never existed.. The album i was waiting for and expected at that time before Bionic was released.. BUT with Xtina we never know! She does what she wants..loves to play with her voice and to try every type of music..thats why she recorded Bionic and Lotus! Xtina KNOWS everyone wants her to sing R&B but she did not care.. i hope this time around she does care, listens to everyone and what fits her voice THE BEST and will give us that R&B album! Afcourse with a lot of soul and flavours of jazz, pop and latin!!
