Ray Posted February 10, 2013 at 09:22 PM Posted February 10, 2013 at 09:22 PM I wonder how much influence a star's personality has on the sales.When I like the music, I buy the album, whether I like the artist's personality or not.

Jeff Abbott Posted February 10, 2013 at 10:28 PM Posted February 10, 2013 at 10:28 PM (edited) I wonder how much influence a star's personality has on the sales.When I like the music, I buy the album, whether I like the artist's personality or not.I've read at ukmix.com (in the Lotus thread) that the way the general public perceives Aguilera is rather mostly not so positive (I wanted to write 'negative', but that would be an overstatement) and that she is not a particularly approachable / likeable person. I know these are only opinions (expressed usually by her fans, by the way) but these might as well have affected the sales of “Lotus” (not to mention the lack of promotion on her part and a rather cool reception of the lead single). It’s a shame because with that voice, she should be topping the charts all over the world. Edited February 10, 2013 at 10:29 PM by Jeff Abbott 1 Quote

CELINE MARIE Posted February 12, 2013 at 01:31 PM Posted February 12, 2013 at 01:31 PM Yes ,amazing voice but a bad repertoire maybe bad manager or team,somewhere there is a problem Quote
Bell Posted February 12, 2013 at 06:16 PM Posted February 12, 2013 at 06:16 PM I wouldn't say her repertoire is bad. I really wonder what the problem is. Maybe it has something to do with how much people like her personality. But...I don't know what they don't like about her. Quote 16 YEARS A FORUM MEMBER
Ray Posted February 12, 2013 at 10:57 PM Posted February 12, 2013 at 10:57 PM I'm not fond of her personality, but I did buy the album. Quote Céline Dion Mariah Carey Madonna Lara Fabian Debbie Gibson Wilson Phillips Linda Eder Tina Arena Martika
Jeff Abbott Posted February 12, 2013 at 11:26 PM Posted February 12, 2013 at 11:26 PM I've never been a great fan of hers, but still I gotta admit she's got huge vocal talent. Her interpretation of "Lift me up" from "the Hope for Haiti Now telethon" is pure perfection. I wish Celine had more songs like this in her latest repertoire. 1 Quote
Jeff Abbott Posted February 12, 2013 at 11:33 PM Posted February 12, 2013 at 11:33 PM ^^^Also, I think that she's got the voice fitting perfectly the power ballads she often releases on her albums, like "You lost me" or "Bound to you". Her talent really shines while she's singing them. 1 Quote

Jeff Abbott Posted February 13, 2013 at 12:12 AM Posted February 13, 2013 at 12:12 AM Amen,amazing voice = ballads Every single time I get to listen to "Lift me up" (which is quite often), I'm like It's such an awesome song. I wish Celine had the chance to work with Linda Perry once again, I'm all for more songs created by this duo. Quote
LuisMa Posted May 21, 2013 at 07:42 AM Posted May 21, 2013 at 07:42 AM From Billboard.com: Christina Aguilera nabs her eighth Dance/Club Play Songs No. 1 with "Let There Be Love." It's her second leader from her album "Lotus," following "Your Body," which reigned in December. She joined Pitbull last night at the Billboard Music Awards as they performed their Dance/Electronic Songs No. 1 "Feel This Moment." I agree with you, David. I'd love more Linda Perry collaborations. I was thinking about that yesterday. Quote

She's got an amazing voice and can't believe she hasn't had more success ... not even being on The Voice has helped her ... I love her when she does her power ballads ... she is amazing ... let's see what happens next for her ... Quote

I love her when she does her power ballads ... she is amazing ... let's see what happens next for her ...Isn't she on a hiatus from music business right now? Hope she'll have more success with her next album. Quote
ErwinG Posted June 16, 2013 at 08:11 PM Posted June 16, 2013 at 08:11 PM I think so ... she'll be performing with Pitbull this coming week on The Voice if I am not mistaken and then nothing else ... until she is back on The Voice as coach this fall again ... Quote

Christina did a very good job delivering the song 1 Quote
rakesh Posted June 16, 2013 at 08:30 PM Posted June 16, 2013 at 08:30 PM I've read at ukmix.com (in the Lotus thread) that the way the general public perceives Aguilera is rather mostly not so positive (I wanted to write 'negative', but that would be an overstatement) and that she is not a particularly approachable / likeable person. I know these are only opinions (expressed usually by her fans, by the way) but these might as well have affected the sales of “Lotus” (not to mention the lack of promotion on her part and a rather cool reception of the lead single). It’s a shame because with that voice, she should be topping the charts all over the world. in this age where music can be found free on the internet, fanbase is very important; so the last thing a public figure like Christina should be doing is act pompuos!!! acting diva-ish is part of their appeal; but when it goes as far as dissing other artists, it becomes distasteful. Christina is a Disney alumni & a lota Britney fans were Christina fans too. being a big voiced singer who obviously sounded a LOT like Whitney, Mariah & Celine, a lota Mariah Carey fans were Christina fans too. but Christina just couldnt help herself from running her mouth, bein a lil' too honest & diss Britney (several times) & Mariah!! since then, fans of either artists parted ways and it showed in Christina's sales. "Back to Basics", her last hit album shouldve sold a lot more than it did. since then she's never been able to recover. also, Christina's been disrespectful to quite a lota artists ...Lady Gaga, Mary J Blige, Beyonce... 2 Quote

ErwinG Posted July 5, 2013 at 12:55 AM Posted July 5, 2013 at 12:55 AM Christina is featured in a new Spanish single out with Alejandro Fernandez ... There is no official video as yet ... this is what I found for audio ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Be06ie3Cnc Quote

ErwinG Posted July 6, 2013 at 12:08 AM Posted July 6, 2013 at 12:08 AM the song tells that "today I want you" a very sensual story of lost love ... who just want to spend time together ... Quote
LuisMa Posted September 30, 2013 at 04:33 PM Posted September 30, 2013 at 04:33 PM "We Remain" is the new Christina Aguilera song from "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"! It's quite good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwbmEKG163A&feature=youtube_gdata_player 1 Quote

LuisMa Posted October 13, 2013 at 10:07 PM Posted October 13, 2013 at 10:07 PM Most definitely ... if only Dianne Warren would write them a song ... I guess they could cover "As Long As I Can Dream" by Diane Warren. I have always thought that Celine could do it, and her harmonies with Christina probably would be great. Quote
ErwinG Posted October 13, 2013 at 10:31 PM Posted October 13, 2013 at 10:31 PM Hmmm would we really want Celine to do another cover? It should be something great special and new if they ever decide to ... Quote

It should be something great special and new if they ever decide to ... I knew you would say that, dear. I once read that Diane Warren had written a song called "I See Castles" that she said it was one of the best she had written and she was hoping for the right moment to give it to someone and make a huge smash out of it. But it was a long time ago and as far as I know we haven't seen the damn castles. 1 Quote
