No she does, I know.
Actually I'm sort of wondering how I'm going to talk about Sing for Me and Blank Page in my Lotus review. I really can't stand them and I don't listen to enough ballads to know how they compare because...I don't like ballads.

She's in good company with Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Beyonce,, etc.Melanie Amaro
Except Michael Jackson had his creativity, humanitarianism, and genuine talent to balance his commercialism.
What does Brit have?

They are her best work though imo.
Almost all the songs I have on my playlists from her are ballads. Not at all a fan of her faster tracks outside Fighter.

Maybe if we exclude Baby One More Time, Oops, Britney, In The Zone, Blackout, Circus, and Femme Fatale
I see your point then

Her ballads are my least favorite kind of Xtina tracks, tbh.
I like her mid to high tempo tracks. Lotus made me happy because of it.
Except Sing For Me though. Tragic.

I really need to get around to listening to Lotus. Purchased it due to popgaf peer pressure.....but it was the same day as 1D....so I never actually got around to it.
(may have gone through it once casually...don't remember)

Lol it would have been while I was doing homework or gaming. I honestly do not recall.
blasphemy!
If there anything Xtina excels at, it's ballads
Walk away, Mercy On Me, I Am, Beautiful, Oh mother, You Lost Me, Bound To You, etc
i agree with SFM being weak though.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there
This song is probably better than anything Britney has ever recorded, the Back To [Being A] Basic era slayed me so hard

I have to always rep for my dearest Niall. ( is that the right size for the forum?)

Nope...looks like the same four Xtina fans as ever to me. Plus Bipolarius but eh.

lol even I stan Xtina when it comes to Xtina vs Brit discussions......brings out the worst in me.
We can only hope.
Isn't it time for you to be chasing behind a bisexual.
And here I thought Frank Ocean had no use.
I remember way back when you were a Xtina stan
you should go back to that
I dont remember such era
Artistically, stylistically, and vocally.
Where's the lie?
It's true that Xtina's ballads have made the most impact, but I think that has always been an issue of timing, tbh
I'm not going to sit here and pretend Come On Over, Dirrty, Fighter, Ain't No Other Man, Desnudate, Prima Donna, Monday Morning, Your Body and Red Hot Kinda Love don't also slay my pussy.
popgaf has always been stanning/hating Xtina
in the last 2 threads we've had, can you find a single page (100ppp) where she wasn't mentioned?

lol so far this OT its been a very high hating / stanning ratio.........
Either way though. Will be interesting to see how long she stays a topic of discussion once she gives up on this era....and considering she is not on The Voice next season.

Random observation......from atrl.
Why is it that stans for EVERY artist ALWAYS claim that their fav's album had "no promotion".....its so stupid and almost always wrong. I remember even Madonna fans were saying that after MDNA.
I mean Xtina has a 10+ million viewer TV show, Rihanna had ads all over AND promotions at several retailers including amazon. If thats not promo nothing is....

weren't you just using 1D earlier today to discredit Rihanna

I wasn't talking about the quality of 1D's music, I was merely saying that since 1D aren't using dishonest, shameful and unscrupulous sales inflation tactics, last week's true #1 is Take Me Home.
Except that as you point out Taylor is available on the US Spotify so in fact she is probably the true #1.
It's a cute way to ignore the enormous elephant in the room: an undesired product.

I love Popjustice now, but I still seethe when I remember them calling "Can't Be Tamed" a better adult debut than "Slave 4 U."
I mean...WHAT?
Everyone needs to take notes from BMR's(Taylor's label) marketing strategy, tbh. Her album launch was handled flawlessly.

I can't argue this.
Every step Taylor took was handled flawlessly. Right place and the right time.
@Wafflecakes
Being on a Highly rated show isn't enough. You still have to harness that audience.
Being on The Voice didn't change the fact that Xtina did no album promo (other than name dropping Lotus in a handful of interviews) until the week her album released. Hell her own WEBSITE wasn't updated until that week. And she NEVER performed Your Body (not counting that Fallon mess).
With the year coming to an end soon, I hope a lot of you will be sharing your thoughts on music in 2012. I know a few people are working on something, but I hope more people put their two cent in too. Though, I don't expect those who spent the year listening to stuff of decades past to take part.

BMR has been flawless the last two eras. If I was label head Scott Borchetta, I would be absolutely, unbearablely smug. "Hey RCA, who was that 14 year old songwriter you had under contract a couple years ago? What's she up to now?"
P.S. Your faves are nothing more than stewards. The real queen is returning to her throne in 20 days. Until then: JoJo - Andre
Rih didn't have any promo. She didn't do the AMAs, she didn't perform on the Voice or on X-Factor, she wasn't really on mainstream media. Xtina stans has no excuse considering she is on TV
so the 777 tour was just for fun?
I can't help but feel sad whenever JoJo's name gets brought up.
Now that's a really shitty label.
Come on now, the SNL performance, having a song on the top 10
Getting discounts, the 777 tour
come on
Right!?
And she did SNL. AND UK X Factor. AND she releases albums yearly.
Have ALL the seats, DMJ.
