Lift Me Up

^ glad it wasn't just me. Thought I was going mad !! :hithead:

That wasn't showing up on mine at the time. :blush: Think I was in it when it broke and all I was getting was the text, as pasted into earlier post, on a plain black background. think I must have had a problem with cached site info. Restarted explorer and now I get the proper details !! sorry Jark, i wasn't doubting you but as I couldn't see any details on her site I wondered if you had a seperate, more up-to-date source.

Whats your source ? On her site it just says album due summer 2010 and no mention of single preview tomorrow, just full premiere on 30th (Tuesday next) That's got to be either the single or album cover...... both titles fit with the half-human/half-machine image.

Christina "not myself tonight" release date (to iTunes) confirmed on official site as 13th April (which is odd cos thats a tuesday!) so expect a #1 shortly after :kink: Hope I haven't cursed it now :blush:

From Christina official site: Mar 25 FIVE TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNING RECORDING ARTIST CHRISTINA AGUILERA TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "BIONIC" SUMMER 2010 FIRST SINGLE "NOT MYSELF TONIGHT" WILL PREMIERE ON CHRISTINAAGUILERA.COM AT 6PM EDT ON 3/30, IMPACTS RADIO ON 4/5 AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE ON iTUNES ON 4/13 (New York - NY- March 25th, 2010) - With 30 million albums sold worldwide and the prestigious honor of being the only artist under the age of 30 included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time, 5 time Grammy Award winner Christina Aguilera has already achieved an unprecedented level of success. Aguilera's been hard at work in the studio for the past year and is pleased to announce the release of her highly anticipated 4th studio album Bionic (RCA Records) this summer. The first single from "Bionic" is the fiercely energetic anthem "Not Myself Tonight", produced by Polow Da Don. The song will premiere on ChristinaAguilera.com at 6pm EDT on 3/30, impacts radio on 4/5 and will be available on iTunes on 4/13. Bionic features songs co-written by Aguilera along with her much buzzed about collaborations including Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron among others. Aguilera notes, "Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic." The album also features a ballad produced and written by Linda Perry titled "Lift Me Up". The title Bionic reflects Aguilera's ability to take her range to new levels and use her voice in various ways never heard before. Aguilera describes the album as a unique mix of many genres and styles of music, "I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don't think anyone will expect." In addition to completing the album which was all recorded from her home studio after the birth of her first son, Christina also completed production on her first film, "Burlesque." The film, which co-stars Cher, Stanley Tucci, and Kristen Bell will be released by ScreenGems this fall.

1 minute :) Hmmm..... countdown finished and now the site appears a little broken !! Edit 15:00 Mended again !!

I first came across this about 10 years ago on a 'chilled Ibiza' album. loved it then but lost the cd and forgot about it. nice to hear it again, thanks Daniel. How much like Diana Vickers does she sound (or is it that Diana sounds like her !!) ?

Hope she releases a DVD of the tour after. I couldn't get tickets for London :cry:

A week later and she still top of the pile :cheer: 1 Alicia Keys 2,063 plays 2 Robbie Williams 1,842 plays 3 Lady GaGa 1,501 plays 4 Kings of Leon 1,337 plays 5 Black Eyed Peas 1,311 plays 6 JLS 1,236 plays 7 Rihanna 1,233 plays 8 Pixie Lott 1,208 plays 9 Beyoncé 1,147 plays 10 Florence + The Machine 1,085 plays 11 Muse 1,015 plays 12 Cheryl Cole 981 plays 13 Jason Derulo 908 plays 14 Vampire Weekend 892 plays 15 Kasabian 880 plays 16 Michael Bublé 841 plays 17 The Beatles 822 plays 18 Take That 818 plays 19 Alexandra Burke 813 plays 20 Mumford & Sons 807 plays 21 Whitney Houston 786 plays 22 Arctic Monkeys 714 plays 23 Timbaland 697 plays 24 Biffy Clyro 685 plays 25 Michael Jackson 658 plays 26 The Rolling Stones 632 plays 27 Jay-Z 620 plays 28 Ellie Goulding 620 plays 29 Sugababes 617 plays 30 Scouting for Girls 613 plays

How long before you do the results ? Can we have a Christina style countdown ? :kink:

Not heard 'yesterday' yet. i'll have to see if I can find it some place.

^ Different league.

4 1/2 hours until next bit of news :D

New song from Christina out beginning of April, 'Not myself Tonight'. Should be on Radio from next week. Looks from the lyrics it'll be a 'club type' song. Could well be a #1 for the start of her new era :D

^You've found the lyrics (thanks for posting btw) and lots of activity on RCA Twitter about them having been posted on her official site but I'm not seeing anything new. And countdown still at zero. think i'll re-connect. Found them. Think my pop-up blocker had blocked the lyrics button !! clocks not counting down again yet though :-(

^ Except the count down has stopped and no new news :(

probably just sort what's on my iPod into order !!

2 and a half hours til next bit of news :wub:

Probably cos of the creepy goon stalking her is right behind her !! ? :unsure:

more news in 3 hours (16:00 GMT) :D

Alicia, Christina and Shakira songs would make up top 10 and feature heavily throughout. Then they'd be some RiRi, Kelly C, Britters in top 20 maybe even some Madge creeping in too and i guess it would need some Leona too :D think i might give it a go. Don't know how to use spotify so it might just be a simple list

^ I think I'd struggle to remember 100 songs let alone rank them !! interesting idea though, maybe everyone on BJ should keep a personal top 20 (or 40 or whatever.... in your case top 100 !!)) in their profile somehow, that way everyone can see what kind of musical tastes we have. if I were to make a list I'm sure a load of the ones near the top would be from 'Element.... ' but i have to say at moment top would be Christina's live "lift me up" very closely followed by Alicia's Prelude to a kiss (send me an angel) live on the Help for Haiti telethon. 2 brilliant songs sung truly live by 2 awesome vocalists. As close to perfection as you can get.

Congrats All Niight Jon and AAC. So glad I learned how to post a poll on the request and glad we finally got a forum for our New York R&B queen :wub:

^ thanks Silver Rocket. Same as happened more recently with Leona Lewis. and I'm sure it happens with other artists too. Have you heard any of the songs from it ?

hi fellow Christina fans. Don't know where else to ask, so....... Whilst looking for info on Bionic I came across a couple of websites that list an album called 'Just Be Free', released in 2001 on warlock records (not her normal RCA). I've been a Christina fan since Genie and I'd never heard of it ! Anyone know anything about this album ? (Its not mentioned on her official site discography so I'm assuming its some kind of pirate release ?) thanks guys (and girls of course!)
