So good.

I Love It is unsurprisingly head and shoulders above anything else on the EP, but Ready For The Weekend, Manners, and Top Rated all have their appeal as well.

Nothing wrong with fresh sweat. Especially workout sweat. There's something sexy about it. I acted like an animal after my ex worked out. Smelling her body and all.

Won't go into more details, lol

Can you please explain this BS if you can?

What is up with this british premiere months before retail release trend?

I believe it's meant to be for building hype and awareness, so when it's released everyone buys it at once and it debuts straight at number 1.

I was all cynical about the Girls Aloud single (just check this thread a few pages back) and then the video drops and although it's nothing special at all all my old stan feelings just rushed back and I got hit with a sense of gratitude that they're going out in a friendly fashion and still with Xenomania to the end even though Xenomania is a shell of their former selves and haven't done anything relevant for years, and the result definitely isn't bad, the song grows on you and the chorus is nice and they're still a bit shouty and noisy. I like how they break up the seriousness in the video with some hugs and games. <3 y'all girls.
It wouldn't be a GA video if it had high production values and wasn't cheesy though. (Untouchable doesn't count, plus it was their first not-top-10 hit so obviously the good video put people off because the song itself was amazing).
Girls Aloud's new single is fire. FIRE.

Their best alberm art yet. (Not really saying much tho.)

Simple and clean look, it simply works well.

Amy Lee should have just said "fuck it and fuck y'all" to her band members and gone solo years ago, tbh...
Evanescence its pretty much Amy lee and the band and it just follows her direction so I wouldn't bother much.

This song slayed me. Evanescence- Swimming Home Sounds so different to the rest.

*goes into a trance*

I didnt followed the drama of Girls Aloud. Nicola was the one that didn't wanted to return or was it someone else?

Nadine. The others are all friends but she was always a bit standoffish, claimed she wasn't really friends with the others, etc. Also quite resentful of Cheryl because Cheryl was obviously the public fave of the group and had a moderately successful solo career (which Nadine wanted but didn't have).

Ohhh alright. Thanks for the clarification! ^_^

Rolling Stone previews LOTUS

Christina Aguilera admits that her last album, 2010's Bionic, didn't connect with her fans. "It had a lot of amazing sounds and a futuristic twist to it," she says. "But if you weren't a music person, it was just going to go over your head. A lot of the collaborations were with people that were either very underground or weren't necessarily from the pop world. I really think it was far ahead of its time and it'll be fully appreciated in the years to come."

On her follow-up, Lotus – her first LP since getting a divorce and becoming a judge on The Voice – Aguilera goes for a sleeker mainstream pop sound, working with producers like Max Martin, Lucas Secon and Shellback. "I don't really push myself to have those formulaic commercial successes," Aguilera says. "It's dishonest and it starts lacking creativity. I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace."

Aguilera sees Lotus (in stores on November 9th) as a companion piece of sorts to her 2002 album, Stripped. "It really takes me back to that time," she says. "I was shedding a skin in a sense. I had been pigeonholed as formula-pop driven, or molded or forced to be something I didn't feel was true to me. I was labeled from 'Genie in a Bottle,' and I had a lot of things to say and share as a 21-year-old woman. Now I've come full circle a decade later. I had a greatest hits album and I experienced a decade in this crazy business. It's a time of celebration, of embracing being a pop star."

The songs span a range of emotions, from the pain of loss through a spiritual rebirth to a celebration of life. "It's a very multi-layered, very heartfelt record," she says. "I wanted to share all the different sides of me, as a woman, and as a creator and an artist. Part of that is being a mom. Part of that is sexuality. Part of that is vulnerability. Part of that is aggression and angst. All those pieces make me who I am."

On the piano ballad "Empty Page," Aguilera vents her pain and regret. "Lord knows I've been no saint," she sings. "Regret choices I made . . . I was scared, unprepared for the things you said/I'm a blank page waiting for life to start." The club-ready "Army of Me" shows off her defiant side: "What you thought was your best decision became your worst mistake," she sings defiantly on the track. "That song is a 'Fighter 2.0,"" Aguilera says. "I want it to inspire a whole new generation. I have six-year-old fans that weren't even around for 'Genie in a Bottle' or even 'Fighter.'"

Lotus marks Aguilera's first time working with Swedish pop-radio wizard Max Martin. "I'm not sure we would have been able to create the same music had we connected earlier," she says. "He did all the Britney and N'Sync songs, and I was doing something a little more daring. But we've gained respect for each other."

The most shocking moment on Lotus is the bonus track "Shut Up," a furious screed against haters in which Aguilera repeatedly chants "If you don't like it you can suck my dick." "That's for my fans to blast in their cars," she says. "I know a lot of them get heated and pissed off whenever they hear some bull**** rumor or bull**** story, and it's a great venting song for anyone that is having a bad day or not liking their boss. It's playful and tongue in cheek."

Christina has been pulling double duty recently with her work on The Voice and her new album, and she's looking forward to temporarily handing off her rotating chair to Shakira for Season Four next spring. "They were going to do back-to-back seasons," she says. "I knew I had to get back in touch with myself as an artist. I really put myself on the back burner doing that show. I also worried that my advice would start to get stale and redundant. I have to go away for a second and live life. Being on The Voice has been amazing, but I need to see my friends and go on the road again."

Aguilera called off a planned 2010 tour in support of Bionic, but she hopes she will tour behind this album. "We are thinking about that," she says. " But with my schedule everything is complicated – and it's a whole different ballgame now that I have a son. So, again, we'll do that on my own terms and within due time."

kii @ the Bionic quote. Delusional.

Im mostly excited for Blank Page tbh.

Honestly, I love her defiance and insistence on being a pop star on her own terms, but I hate reading shit like this:

Xtina....Xtina Xtina Xtina...Back To Basics (the last era where you were really put through the paces as a pop star) was over 6 damn years ago. If you want to stay a big wig in this game you have NO EXCUSE to not be out there actively touring and actively promoting your projects. You're not the only pop star to balance being a star and being a parent, and with your tenure on The Voice done you won't have SHIT ELSE to do. Get the fuck off your ass and tour. #PHUCKYOTERMS
