I understand the frustration, because I want new music too. I also know, being a true Christina fan, that she puts herself into these records and being the perfectionist that she is, wants her records to be exactly how she envisioned it. I want new music as bad as the rest of her fans, but she's always been ahead of the game so I think she's just waiting for people to catch up. Remember folks Christina is a whole different musical beast, she's always zigging when everybody else is zagging. That's part of what makes her so great. If her so-called "flops" Bionic (#1 illegally downloaded album of the year) and Lotus were released a few years later they would have been more well received because everyone else would be doing it by then. But that's not our Christina, she's a trail blazer. So, as much as it frustrates me to wait around for the new record, it will be well worth it. Christina will be fine, she has a very loyal fanbase and she will be making records for years to come. Masterpieces aren't rushed and created for popularity, sales, and numbers... true greatness takes time.
