Has it not been released everywhere yet? It's weird she isn't charting an a lot of those.

No it gets it's official release in most of Europe in the first week of November - to co-inside with the expected release of the video (expected to premiere first in the UK) to promote the release of the greatest hits album the same week. it kills 2 birds with one stone with the promotional tours - & helps the record company make as much money as possible as their spending less on the travelling etc.

Her video should be released next weekend in the UK.

She'll also be the opening performance of the AMA's 2008.

Official announcement. The music video will premiere next week on MTV US.

A commercial was just played on MTV HITS.

Well now we've seen the new video, thoughts anyone?

IMO it was kinda cheap

UK Chart Update:
#13 Itunes (today)
#16 UK Chart Midweeks (Monday)

* The physical release in the UK was cancelled. Therefore Xtina is going to chart based on DOWNLOADS only. shame shame

I'm really upset with KGB at the moment. Christina hardly did anything for it, and I'm afraid the album will fail

yup. Im sure the album wont be gettin #1 in the US, and that's a fact.
The single, im not even gonna comment on it. Coz it's doing so bad here, there...everywhere...

shame on her for doing no promo.

mhmm, i'd prefer her just to get her 4th album out ASAP and forget about this period.

me2. It sucks coz if she flops that'll go down her history of album peaks and sales and such...

But oh well, what it matter if the Studio Albums.

That's what the video should have been like.

Bought the album yesterday, to be honest with you, Im not impressed with the remake of 'beautiful' that song was always gorgeous, but its been lost in some space age techno crap... Genie 2.0 I love, just cos its been done well, and the lyrics suit the music... Candyman had some tweaking if anyone has noticed!
Jess

^Yea i agree, i love Genie 2.0 but the new Beautiful was just missing something. Also don't see why they tweaked Candyman, was perfect the way it was!
But yea pretty good overall (sux 3 singles are missing) and love having the videos, plus the booklet is awesome.

I wish she'd included Slow Down Baby, Can't Hold Us Down and The Voice Within... I'm upset that we didn't get the BTS on the DVD Cause the UK supposedly have it.

I'm not a fan of You Are What You Are, but Genie 2.0 is utter love!

And Dynamite is my favourite!

I think i somehow got the standard version... damn, may have to go out seeking the deluxe edition

Xtina will be lucky if she debuts inside Top 5 in US. Things are looking ugly for her ans for Hilary Duff.

Hilary Duff may enter inside Top 20 if she's lucky aswell. Both albums were underpromoted in US. and Both Hils and Xtina's albums are not being sold at Itunes. shame shame.

KGB was really only released for the fans, not to kind of get another #1. The song itself was also written at least partially about the fans.

As for the electronic thing, better get used to it, because that's what album #4 will sound like. You Are What You Are was done in the style of music to be featured on album #4. Is everyone gonna like it? No, but that's the risk she takes, because Christina likes to do different things with each record and not everyone is gonna succeed wildly. There was a LOT of controversy around Stripped and a lot of people didn't like the way she was going, yet it did very very well.

I think we just need to trust that Christina knows what she's doing.

As for the BTS video, no copy in the world actually got it. It's believed to have been an error at the label, as was the Making of Forgive Me video on Leona Lewis' recently released Spirit SE, which was also missing.

I trust Christina with my heart and soul, she always finds outreagous ways too get attention on the album. And like Stripped it may re-peak with enough attention!

YAWYA( has grown on me quite a bit, but I prefer Christina to mvoe more into the FAST electro styles like Dynamite and Genie 2.0

i finally got the album today! i loveeeeee Genie 2.0 so bloody good! i like You Are What You Are it suits the "spacey" theme. am happy with the track list.

Jess, i got it from JB HI FI at marion:)


i love this quote from an interview! Christina on lady Gaga::

What did you say to those on the Internet who are hinting that you borrowed Lady Gaga’s look?

You know, that’s funny that you mention that. This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn’t sure. I really don’t spend any time on the Internet, so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.

The Deluxe Edition has a yellow frame around it, and on the spine it's yellow and says "DELUXE EDITION" you shouldn't miss it

According to US One Day Sales. Xtina is NOT going to debut inside Top 10.

Possibly Top 20

I love her! And I love her re-invented version of Genie and Beautiful!

Yuck at what they've done to Beautiful

i dnt mind Genie 2.0

Yeah It's very funky!

Just got the album, and i love it! All of my fave songs are on there (although im not too fussed about lady marmalade being on there!) and im so glad they put The Voice Within on the UK version, LOVE that song. Im really gonna enjoy this album, and well done to Christina for getting to this 10 year mark. She always comes up with the goods and its clear she's a very talented lady.

The album in US stands @#7 with 55,000 copies sold (55% the chart completed).

The other 50% she can either drop that #7 or gain.

I predict her sales to be around 90,000 copies in the first week and i think she'll end up @#8.

So, she's opening the AMA's right now and meh. Seven minutes? Too much. And she shouldn't dance. She's basically standing in one place.

ohhhh....is she singing Keeps getting Better? is it different to the MTV awards?

She sang Beautiful, Keeps Getting Better, Genie, Ain't No Other Man, Fighter and I can't remember what else. It was worse than the VMAs. She was really dancing at the VMAs and this time she was just... there?

oh dear!! i still cant wait to see it

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=eVxR4OEl9ag i found that on you tube its an okay performance:)

I think she's trying too hard with this "era".

I don't go much on that performance tbh =/

Her voice..sounds..grunty..or something.

You noticed that too? It was really deep and just no.

i agree,i heard she is going to keep this theme for her next album..i dont get it. I still love her Back 2 basics era & album its one of my favs!

http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheyd...page=1#comments

That post will bring on the LOLs. Best one?

"She sounds like Batman".

Yeah it was just...weird and..yeah deep.

Made me shudder tbh.

I've never liked it when people drag their words on in songs.



LMAO how ace! Some funny funny people in this world, makes me laugh.


"WTF was that noise coming from the back of her throat? a grunt? a growl? and zipper?"


But yes, Best one "She sounds like Batman" ROFL. gold!

hmmmmmmmm i didnt like the grunt

That was not a good performance.

wow. she did sound horrible in this performance.

really grunty and ew.

Her voice seemed really deep... she couldn't pull of Beautiful, but the rest was fine.

And Josh, just no, people make faces when they talk and just because you catch them at inappropriate times doesn't mean they are "feral".

Childish

Martin, I was reffering to the grunty deepness in her voice. not the picture. I found that on the site mentioned above thats all. geez.
