I love Christina and was a die hard fan up until maybe the LOTUS era. Christina looks absolutely TERRIBLE in these photos and her costuming + stage performance are sub par. I truly was hoping that Christina would deliver a project that was filled with the soulful ballads and catchy uptempo's that comprised "STRIPPED". I even truly love the direction of the six experimental songs that comprised her BIONIC deluxe album. looking at Christina here on stage, as well as seeing her in that carpool clip some days ago, she simply isnt ready. the mainstream public are not going to embrace this limited makeup, hair pulled back image that she's trying to sell. Its as tired as Alicia's "here" era. there's no way that Christina can appeal to the mass market in this climate of the music industry unless she GLAMS IT UP and polishes her stage performances. what im seeing bothers me terribly.
