Presenting your two singles...

[Delirium]

the song is like only 2 minutes.. wtf.

[zlato_93]

As you're all aware now, the American single is 'You Lost Me'
However, internationally the next single will be 'I Hate Boys'

:)

Wait, what? Are you guys really trying to ruin her career on purpose?

[zlato_93]

Ok, wont be there at least an extended version of the song for the music video?

[Drunken_Ballerina]

I Hate Boys is the only song that non xtina fans like, trust me when i give my bionic album to my brother, he said he likes i Hate Boys, its so good to dance to, the other songs are not that catchy, OK Maybe IHB is not a song with such a high musical quality, but it has "HIT" written all over it.

People ask me why I listen to Miley Cyrus when I play it. "I thought you hate dMiley Cyrus?"

young teen who didnt grow with xtina, might not knowing xtina that much, nowadays, SADLY its teenagers who dowloads more from iTunes :cry:

[NomiMalone]

In four years when we get the new album, it doesn't matter how great of a team of people she works with. The roster could get even better than Sia, Goldfrapp, and Ladytron. It doesn't matter, because:

1. The album will be too long and all over the place, with probably 25 songs. Eight or so of them will be really good. The rest questionable to bad. The good songs will be on a bonus disc, so less likely to be released as singles.

2. Only the bad singles will be released.

3. RCA will be as late as Michelle Duggar's period in promoting it.


This is why I'm not really anticipating the next release, seeing as how everything has gone wrong with this era.

[Jeremy]

I've been trying to prove to my friends how good Xtina is.....


Now there going to hear I Hate Boys on radio, and not even I can defend that.

1. i kinda agree with this. but its not like its a lock for bionic to destined to flop. bionic is a great album. i believe if she and her management promote it well it will do better.

2. nah, i dont think so, NMT is a RIGHT first single IMO. the only mistakes RCA did was by being too confident with the song, if only RCA did PAYOLA to radio, NMT could possibly end up like RudeBoy, i mean last time i checked NMT Peaked no#3 on iTunes and had a GREAT adds on Radio.

3. You're not her management so STFU!!

[Dirrrty]

IHB is the final nail in the coffin for Bionic, if radio wouldn't play NMT, why on earth would they play IHB lol.

[Vamp]

I don't like the song, but I actually think that this could work. The videos need to be out along with the singles no later than a week after they're sent to radio. I hope this doesn't come back to haunt them. If they get this wrong it just proves that RCA doesn't know how to handle an artist like Christina. For someone who's given you four #1s, 42 million albums, successful tours and five Grammys, she deserves a lot better.

And why is pristine banned again?

[silentsoul.93]

THIS GIRL IS DRIVING ME BANANAS on another note

ok.. well.. pristine, can you please tell RCA to reconsider its stance on payola

alright, maybe christina is thinking the Bananas will give her stefani Hollaback esque success.. so yes by the end of it i blame gwen.. all of yall can just suck it.

[rhysxx.aguilera]

damn! didn't see that one coming.

i was hoping glam or prima donna would follow 'you lost me'.. but YAY for a dual release <3

[HighHeeledHO]

:roll::roll::roll:

:funny: I am speechless.

:roll:

[Bunifah]

I wished we'd have 2 video confirmations now just so I'd be more like 'sure' we are really having those 2 singles
I hope they dont take forever to shot these videos like RCA ALWAYS DOES

[bobiix]

And why is pristine banned again?

He isn't. :)

[Will]

worst move ever by rca. completely dissapointing.

[phonphon]

Ooh, maybe it's a remix like WAGW and COOB?

[Vamp]

He isn't. :)

It says he's on vacation.

[Nobunaga]

I wished we'd have 2 video confirmations now just so I'd be more like 'sure' we are really having those 2 singles

IHB is officially a second single in australia, i read it on a website :D so pristine is pretty much legit on informing these news lol

[bobiix]

It says he's on vacation.

He put it. :)

His avatar is here, he was on vacation yesterday as well, and he's not mentioned in the ban log :)

[Vamp]

LOL same here.

[aleronihead]

I refuse to believe this until it's confirmed by her site or something.

I'm sorry, but I'm very unsure that this pristine is even the same one as before.

[slowdown]

Some of you need to be reminded that you were all certain that NMT would be a MAJOR HIT. Well guess what, you were WRONG. So how do you know that IHB won't be a hit??? A lot of you have "hindsight bias." Once something happens, you act as though you knew it would happen all along. IMO IHB could possibly be the next "Girlfriend" and that song was huge for Avril. NONE of you, as far as I know, work with in the music industry so none of you know what all goes into picking the next single. Seems to me you've given up all your faith in Christina, and you call yourselves fans...

[KembaIsha]

[Sir.]

It's not about hits for me but it is frustrating when there are tons of good tracks on this album and they're trying to choose the ones with the most obvious commercial sound, even trying to remix a ballad for commercial appeal. It's a ballad for christ's sake. You can't create hits. Songs are hits on their own. IHB won't do well and that radio mix of YLM is not cool at all.

If Pristine is lying or if that's even the same Pristine, I wasn't ready for this news lol It's like they had everything tested out a while ago and the tracks they picked where the few that were on HitsPredictor.Com that I leaked. I'm not understanding why they've completely neglected majority of this album for mediocre pop singles. WHat's the reasoning and who do they feel they're in competition with? "I Hate Boys" is the probably the worst produced song on the album. Are they actually listening to people like Perez Hilton? I wonder what his advice was.

1) I´ve always said NMT wouldn´t be that big since the day the lyrics were posted on the official site as exclusive. I didn´t think it would flop THAT hard, but I knew it wouldn´t be Top 10.
2) I don´t care if I hate boys ends up being a hit and #1. For me, it´s the most shameful song by christina aguilera. I prefer she releasing more risky and experimental songs (the most interesting on the album), and flop with DIGNITY, rather than releasing a stupid song like i hate boys and flop too (or not).
4) Avril Lavigne is not christina aguilera. Luckily. A song like i hate boys fits very well avril, but not christina.
5) I don´t care if I call myself fan or stan, or not. I care about christina´s music.

[IKilledPerezHilton]

I love I Hate Boys :laugh:

[Ms.J]

i want WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IKilledPerezHilton]

We would all be happy all be glad,
If sweet mama nature never had,
A-all this dirty little boys who think that the girls
are only made for toys

[LadyAguilera]

THA FUC!!!

wat happen ta WOOHOO MISTA PRISTINA!

It was never a single

But she sang WooHoo at the MTV Movie Awards :nc:

[bobiix]

But she sang WooHoo at the MTV Movie Awards :nc:

erm and you think that makes it a single ? :nc:

[LadyAguilera]

erm and you think that makes it a single ? :nc:

No :(

But I thought it could be the next singles:

U.S.A = WooHoo
Worldwide = Bionic :D

[IKilledPerezHilton]

erm and you think that makes it a single ? :nc:

'cause the song was exposed, that's what you do when a song is a single...

[bobiix]

'cause the song was exposed, that's what you do when a song is a single...

Erm IHB is featured on TVCs and a sticker on the cover. That's exposed, not singing it once.

[ezr]

i'm happy about this. i love IHB, i see what she was going for when she made it, it's a girl anthem, it's fun, catchy and good for summer. good for live performances. it does have major hit potential, no matter what you people say, so i hope she starts performing it soon. hopefully the videos will be out soon and they'll drag her ass to europe. i wonder if they'll extend it now that it's a single? 2 minutes is kinda short.



and shame on y'all for trashing legend like this.

[ezr]

Shame on all of you for being stiff and so straight-laced
Let them keep talking, I don’t regret
They can’t help it, caught up in their mindset
Long as that floating feeling I get in the moment
Makes it really worth it

just came to mind. :music:

[guicossich]

pristine

when can we expect the music video for I Hate Boys?

[leftphalange]

YLM is a good choice for America imo. When it comes out people can't criticise her for doing the sex thing and not using her voice. It probably won't be a hit but it will help her image imo.

I haven't seen IHB get any bad reviews in album reviews, sure its not Mozart but it will do alright with a cute video imo. Its a better song than NMT imo.

[Fighter]

But she sang WooHoo at the MTV Movie Awards :nc:



she also sang Bionic but it's not a single :(

[XtinaisGlam]

IHB is catchy in an Avril Lavigne "Boyfriend" sort of way--but you see how that killed any musical credibility Avril could hope to possess. Nevertheless, it sounds similar enough to Usher's O.M.G. to possibly become a smash single, but it's just as unrepresentative of Bionic as Not Myself Tonight. smh...hope this goes well.

[slowdown]

My post was about those who are already calling IHB a flop, not about those who feel IHB is "beneath Christina." So I really don't see your point in replying to my post. But as your #4 point clearly points out, you don't have faith in Christina's judgement. Obviously Christina feels as though IHB fits her well, well enough to make the album and release it as a single.

[DirrtyKiss]

I can't ! The worst song ever !
What about Bionic ??? Prima Donna ??? Woohoo

[bobiix]

ruba-ruba-go-go.

bump. :p

[pristine]

1. Anyways why are these the singles, cause obviously I Hate Boys is not a fan favorite as a song or single.
2. Is it true there is a radio edit for You Lost Me with a cheesy keyboard instead of a orchestra. I just saw this posted.
3. What are you going to do about the length of the song? Its kinda short by todays standards.

1. A fan favourite is not always the right path to go down, especially with singles. Fans get more of an artist - and usually love album tracks over singles. I Hate Boys has that "novelty" factor about it. It's already showing huge radio support internationally - especially for a day old announce on a single.

2. Cheesy keyboard? I'm not sure what you mean by that. The version that was sent to radio is called the "Danja Remix" and was remixed with a backbeat and more orchestral elements.

3. Radio is more inclined to play shorter songs - as it fits better in their programming (they can also fit more songs in the hour). It's not a major concern.

[Brian-Ryan]

She meant what she said when she said she was taking "risks".
Obviously, in a different way then I thought she meant far as singles.
Love both songs. Hope they do well. If I had to pick I would pick WooHoo (US), Elastic Love (UK).
I don't expect the songs to do well. I hope I'm wrong though. :)

[Thiago]

I'm so sad to see you pissed of like that :( You gotta remain strong, Thiago!

I try. But things just keep getting worse. lol

I've never been THIS disappointed at a single decision, seriously. But I think I've stated that a thousand times already. Esp. in this thread. :laugh:

And here's to hoping Pristine's faker than Briterz. Again.

I wouldn't like IHB to be a representation of Christina's carreer either, but honestly, I think anything is valid right now 'cause everything else seem to be hopeless lol. As long as these songs breathes a new life on the album and save it from the darkness, I'm all for it.

Oh well, at lease it shows they are INTERESTED on doing something about the album, remixing the track and testing them on different markets.

[Thiago]

I'm so afraid of the 5th album. She will have no creative freedom whatsoever.

[Jeremy]

long enough to know that no matter how amazing her albums are, RCA always effes everything up. IDK.. I haven't been myself tonight. Nor yesterday night, when this thread started.

This era has been a disaster. It is more and more reminding me of Chris Brown's latest album which sprawned one very very moderate hit and sold about 250,000 albums. People just stopped buying his works / its happening to Christina now. The difference is Xtinas album is actually good.

However RCA's decisions have been terrible, and I actually believe the album will never recover. I Hate Boys is awful single. You Lost Me remix is extremely average. I doubt RCA will invest anymore into the album after these singles so yeah I have very little hope.

[Fighter]

I hope from here on out she has absolutely NO imput in what becomes a single or not.

she doesn't.

She wanted Candyman as a second single and RCA released Hurt. Also, i think RCA pushed NMT as the lead single, it wasn't Xtina's decision.

[CAMK]

she doesn't.

She wanted Candyman as a second single and RCA released Hurt. Also, i think RCA pushed NMT as the lead single, it wasn't Xtina's decision.
Nah. We're both speculating here but i think NMT was 120% her idea. I think RCA gets more of a say on the 2nd singles.. ie, Beautiful, Hurt, YLM.

Dirrty, ANOM and NMT all seem like songs Xtina would cream her panties over. I do think she choose all those. Beautiful was able to save Stripped, Hurt didnt need to save anything and YLM was just too little-too late.

[BioNix]

S/he was fake all along.

Actually s/he was quite right. YLM was 2nd single in US, only now it's being released in Europe and IHB WAS the single in Australia.

about NMT i'm not sure...she recorded it the last minute, she didn't write it...

[postertina]

Polow DaDon is a confirmed label ideia, so I don't think it's hard to believe it was also their choice to released it as a single. Christina also wanted to release Impossible as Stripped's 5th single and the label chose, and I quote her words, "big ballad, holiday season blah blah blah".

I don't see why the label would take control over second and fith singles and leave the most important of them all, the first, to Christina.

[DirrtyBoy09]

OMG!
I remember the day Pristine made this thread :roll:

We were all hyped :noway:

[Bunifah]

BAN to whomever bumped this

I was thinking we had a new single information :(

[CAMK]

i think she wanted YLM to be a single because she loves that song.

about NMT i'm not sure...she recorded it the last minute, she didn't write it...True, but she herself, when she talked about the video concept explained why she "really" wanted it to be the lead single because it was exactly what she was feeling at the moment. When she talked about the bondage/restraint concept, she explained in detail why it was first single and how it was exactly how she wanted to "come back". Also, Xtina committed alot to the NMT video. Do you honestly think the label was asking for a Dirrty 2.0 repeat? No. Thats the last thing they would want her to do, they are more aware of the market than xtina (even if its not as aware as they should be). The NMT video basically confirms that the first single was her choice and she backed it.
She even said (not being specific to NMT) that they label and her had a dispute and then went on to say that, the lable didnt want to support the video and that she had to take money out of her own pocket. those were her exact words. Come on now, ur telling me RCA picked NMT? I dont think so.

And i agree about YLM, but i think it just so happens that they both wanted to release it, not just Xtina.


Polow DaDon is a confirmed label ideia, so I don't think it's hard to believe it was also their choice to released it as a single. Christina also wanted to release Impossible as Stripped's 5th single and the label chose, and I quote her words, "big ballad, holiday season blah blah blah".

I don't see why the label would take control over second and fith singles and leave the most important of them all, the first, to Christina.Im not saying that the label just hands her the decision on the first single and says "ok we'll just take care of #2 and so on". Clearly not. What im saying is, altho the label does have a say, Xtina has a bigger say in the 1st single choice. Come on, Dirrty? ANOM? Those 2 songs have glorified xtina stamps all over them. Dirrty was her coming out party, everything about the song and video said it was her "baby". Then ANOM, after her wedding...how could u have picked a more fitting song to express xtina's love for jordy... ANOM was all her. And i think it just so happens that the label actually also backed it 200%.
I think the label feels that even if the first single crashes and burns like Dirrty which flopped way harder than NMT in the US, they can bounce back with the 2nd single... but clearly it didnt work this time.

Im not claiming to know the inner workings of anything behind the scenes, im simply taking the puzzle pieces and putting them together, and i feel it paints a pretty clear picture.

Im not saying that the label just hands her the decision on the first single and says "ok we'll just take care of #2 and so on". Clearly not. What im saying is, altho the label does have a say, Xtina has a bigger say in the 1st single choice. Come on, Dirrty? ANOM? Those 2 songs have glorified xtina stamps all over them. Dirrty was her coming out party, everything about the song and video said it was her "baby". Then ANOM, after her wedding...how could u have picked a more fitting song to express xtina's love for jordy... ANOM was all her. And i think it just so happens that the label actually also backed it 200%.

I'm not sure Dirrty flopped harder in the US. It only hit #48, but it remained at the charts for 20 weeks. That's the same as Lady Marmalade, Come On Over, Ain't No Other Man, Hurt, Fighter and Can't Hold Us Down, and only 7 weeks away from Beautiful, her longest charting single so far.

NMT, on the other hand, didn't even last 10 weeks. It's down there with Carwash and Tell Me. Plus, if I'm not wrong, Carwash's radio impact was bigger than NMT's. Dirrty didn't have the support of single sales, so it was all radio alone.

I think Dirrty was all Christina, yes. But NMT seems like the label's choice to me. Since we know Polow DaDon was the label's decision, I believe they hired him to make the first single. There's that Q Interview from a few months ago where Christina said she "won the last argument she had - in the long run". I can't stop thinking that is has something to do with this.

This has nothing to do with the single choices. she can pick the song you want for second/third single and still flop because she is not promoting like she used to.

[braxboy8]

why is this thread still in existence?

[Shall I Proceed]

Please let it be true to a certain degree.

So she can be singing sh*t like that L.O.V.E. demo? No thx.

[NEStacular!]

F u ck who ever bumped this.

[Addicted]

Damn I thought this is new.. :(

[Razziberry]

If we're getting any singles in the near future, I honestly think RCA will just stick with the 6 tracks they sent to Hit Predictor.

Not Myself Tonight
You Lost Me
I Hate Boys
Bionic
Lift Me Up
Woohoo

So why don't you just PM a mod with the old link? No need to bump up a thread and get people all riled up when we're anticipating a new release from Christina any day now.
