[PHOTOS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA CELEBRATES MEMORIAL DAY WITH HER FAMILY!

In recent weeks a sultry Christina Aguilera has been tripping around in high heels, busily promoting her return to the music industry.
But as she celebrated Memorial Day weekend with her family today, the Dirrty singer returned to her off-duty style of leggings and T-shirt.

[NEWS] DOES XTINA'S NEW ALBUM 'BIONIC' MARK HER AS THIS GENERATION'S ANSWER TO CHER?

Christina Aguilera (r.) appears to be this generation's answer to Cher (l.), particularly when it comes to her sense of style and her music, including new album, "Bionic."



She favors the freaky in fashion, the nerdy in men and the bombastic in music. No wonder, as time goes by, Christina Aguilera keeps looking more and more like this generation’s answer to Cher.



This week she even endured a vintage Cher-like bit of critical drubbing. She postponed her new tour - due to poor ticket sales, they say. Aguilera insists she just needs more time to prep the full-on show she wants to give, which will come next year.



In the meantime, she's got a new movie in the can, "Burlesque," in which she stars opposite - you guessed it - Ms. Cher-tastic herself.

She also has a new album to promote, "Bionic," arriving June 8, graced by a cover that depicts her as half-woman, half-machine. Could this be her space-age answer to Cher's beloved half-breed incarnation of yore?



The singer will hype her new look and sound on the MTV Movie Awards June 6, then host her own installment of VH1's "Storytellers" on the 13th. The new wonder-woman, robot/goddess persona she'll rock at all these events isn't just a whim. It makes genuine sense for her - on more than one level. The balance she has lately struck in her life openly courts the superhuman.



"Bionic" caps a personal and public campaign by Christina to bring the classic feminist insistence, "you can have it all," to screaming life (aided, no doubt, by all the nannies that platinum records can buy). "Bionic" represents Christina's first release since giving birth to Max Liron Bratman on Jan. 12, 2008. She had him with husband Jordan Bratman, a music marketing executive who can be seen as her Sonny. By all accounts, he's a similarly levelheaded business guy, the furthest thing from a boy toy - like, for example, Britney Spears' ex Kevin Federline.



Indeed, the contrast between the two singing icons (once seen as rivals) in how they run their careers clearly shows who has more focus and drive. While other child-to-adult stars have strained under the pressures of that transition, Christina seems to have surfed it with ease. The tangential "outrage" and "controversy" necessary to keep her in headlines haven't come through scandals, but courtesy of carefully managed photo shoots and the occasional catfight.



While Mariah Carey, Pink and Kelly Osbourne have mixed it up with her in the press, none has drawn blood or reflected too poorly on Aguilera herself. (In fact, the Osbournes wound up selling Christina their old Beverly Hills house, where she now resides.)



Taking another page from Cher, Christina has found that her genius for ugly clothing can be richly rewarded in ink and camera time - even if that has led to multiple mentions on the late Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed List. (Naturally, Christina shares that perverse point of pride with the "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" artist herself.)



In Aguilera's case, think of her styles in the "Dirrty" video, which ranked as a skankfest of historic proportions. Add her intermittent love of kinky/fried hair and lacquered-on makeup, and even John Waters' "ugly experts" would have trouble doing a makeover as grotesquely comic.



Still, no matter what scandalous shmattes and horrific hairstyles she sports, Aguilera has never fooled with her most enduring asset: her rockin' (now bionic) bod. Less than two years after giving birth, the star has reemerged with a fitter figure than ever, a feat she made sure nobody missed by posing, birthday suit-style, for the cover of German GQ.



As she explained to an Atlanta radio show: "When you have a baby, you go through a period where your body is not your own. It becomes for your child and that's it. Once you bounce back from that and kind of get your body back ... I feel better than ever."



She also sounds better than ever, which tips off her other "Bionic" quality: that voice. While you can criticize Christina for the way she uses her instrument - how recklessly and egotistically she can throw it around - there's no denying its blunt and powerful thwack. At 29, she clearly owns the biggest voice of the under-30 generation.



She's even making moves on the over-30 set, with Whitney down for the count and Mariah having fallen off her commercial game. Were Aguilera to cut an "Enough Is Enough"-style female diva-off today (à la Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand in the '70s), only Celine Dion would have the pipes to go up against her.



The way Christina uses her pile-driving talent on the new album guarantees she'll get a fresh rush of attention. Like the electro gimmick that relaunched Cher on the smash "Believe," Christina has allowed her voice to be treated, or at least surrounded, by lots of futuristic effects on the new CD. To help her do so, she partnered with avant stars like M.I.A., Peaches, Santigold and Le Tigre.



The heavy use of electronics, and the switch to dance music, on the new CD have already inspired Web sniping, with accusations that she's riding the long coattails of Lady Gaga. (Hey, Ke$ha has done it, to great commercial effect.) Aguilera will have none of it.



"That, in particular, is not even worth wasting the breath to comment on," the singer has said. "I've been around for over a decade. I think my work speaks for itself."



By most accounts, Aguilera's new sound isn't quite like the neo-'80s new wave dance-pop of Gaga. It's meant to be a broader take on the style. More, Christina has impressed fans by continuing to change her sound throughout her career. Not one of her four albums repeats the style of another. And, while Gaga goes for "art" with her look, Aguilera leans far closer to camp, just like the original babe of "I Got You Babe."



For the upcoming "Burlesque" flick, Cher plays the owner, and headliner, of the club where Christina appears. It's directed and written by Steve Antin, brother of the chick who started the Pussycat Dolls, which means he knows a thing or two about trashy dancing. With any luck, the pairing of the two stars will have an "All About Eve"/mother-daughter frisson of rivalry and rapport, making the connection between them more obvious than ever.



Given all this, can it be very long before we no longer even recognize Aguilera by her second name? At this rate, don't be surprised if she soon enters that rare, Cher-like company of stars so intimately known, they require just a first.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Bionic (RCA)

Release Date: June 8
The Skinny: Christina Aguilera has flitted through a number of different personae over the years (fresh-faced teeny popper, grotty sex animal, prim soul-side anachronist), but one thing that hasn't changed since she broke out is the fact that her voice is, well, amazing. Bionic is another career swerve that is being pitched, at least in part, as a futuristic fuck-you to the comparatively demure Aguilera of Back to Basics yore. Among the eclectic cast of collaborators: M.I.A., Le Tigre, Peaches, Flo Rida, Linda Perry, Santigold, Polow da Don, Switch… The list goes on, and it stews.
Fast Fact: Not content to keep her mannered sass confined to music, Aguilera will star on the silver screen this fall in Burlesque, a movie about a strip club that pairs Christina—at long last—with Cher.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA FT. M.I.A. "ELASTIC LOVE"

This is our favorite of all the quasi-unlikely Xtina collabos, and the MP3 stork delivered it to us the week MIA has torched the tweets. A convenient arrival since, amid all the chatter, gossip and drama, people seem to have forgotten that the main reason we all love MIA so much is cause her music is so great. Speaking of greatness, Switch produced this, got Christina to do something a little subtler with her formidable voice, and created a weirdo space pop jam for two of our favorite powerful women.

THE STANLEY CUP FINALS KICK OFF WITH A CHRISTINA AGUILERA FLASHBACK

This weekend, the sports world turns its attention to the race for the most coveted prize in all of professional athletics: The Stanley Cup. The 2010 version of the NHL playoffs have been absolutely thrilling, featuring a number of incredible upsets (including the unlikely run of the Montreal Canadiens, who upset both the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins before falling to the Philadelphia Flyers) and thrilling series (the second round battle between the Flyers and the Boston Bruins was a stunning war of attrition). Starting Saturday night (May 29) on NBC, the Flyers and the Chicago Blackhawks will kick off their seven-game series, with the winner earning the right to hoist the Cup over their heads at the end.

The Flyers' run to the championship has been incredible. Having barely made their way into the playoffs, the Flyers ran through an otherwise hot New Jersey Devils team in the first round. They then had the incredible series with the Bruins, which saw Philadelphia fall behind three games to none before rallying to take down Boston in four straight games. They then ran through the otherwise on fire Canadiens to make their way into the finals.

Comparably speaking, the Blackhawks' road through the playoffs has been relatively smooth. They narrowly missed being the top seed in the Western Conference (they ended up a single point behind top-seeded San Jose) and plowed through the Nashville Predators and the Vancouver Canucks before sweeping the Sharks to win the West. It's their first trip to the Stanley Cup Finals since 1992 (they were swept by a Mario Lemieux-fueled Penguins team), which is notable because at least one thing hasn't changed in the 18 years since the Hawks competed for a Cup: Christina Aguilera is still a big deal. Back in 1992, when Aguilera was only 11 years old, the now-famous singer performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the second game of the Stanley Cup Finals that year (the game was in Pittsburgh, and Aguilera grew up in nearby Wexford, Pennsylvania). Check out the video of Aguilera's performance below, and prepare yourself for what is likely to be an all-time great series.

NEW ALBUM OFFERS FRESH SOUNDS, AND AMAZING VOCALS

By Lucas Villa
Published on May 27, 2010

After going pursuing a more retro feel on 2006’s Back to Basics, Christina Aguilera looks toward the future for a new musical direction with electro-romp album Bionic. The 18-track set consists of Aguilera’s most fun and playful songs to date. Also notable is Aguilera’s interesting choices in song collaborators, with artists like Sia and Nicki Minaj rounding out Bionic’s sound. Though the album has drawn criticism from some for feeling like a rip-off of Lady Gaga’s style, Aguilera slays the comparisons with her powerful, gargantuan voice.

Among the best tracks on Bionic is the flirty Peaches collaboration “My Girls,” a song that cleverly riffs on the track’s title — which could mean either best girlfriends or a pair of boobs — over a video-game-styled background and funky guitars. The raunchy track is a perfect candidate for an updated “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”

Aguilera also delivers on the rave worthy “Elastic Love,” finding the songstress likening love to rubber bands with her hypnotic drone over Euro-pop beats and stuttering synthesizers on the M.I.A.-assisted track. The best of the ballads on Bionic is “You Lost Me,” where Aguilera puts herself in a league of her own with amazing fluttering vocals during the pre-choruses on the hauntingly beautiful track, co-penned with Sia. The song alone reasserts Aguilera’s relevancy to the current music scene with each note she belts out. While recent dance tracks’ production often consumes songstresses’ voices, Aguilera instead has the beats compliment her big voice like one hot mess on her first single, “Not Myself Tonight” and Lil Jon crunk jam “Prima Donna.”

The set falls short on the Tricky Stewart number “Glam,” which was touted as a modern day “Vogue,” though the stiff track lacks personality and doesn’t get remotely interesting until Aguilera unleashes her killer vocals near the song’s end. Bionic would have been an indestructible set if it was shorter and tighter, but instead, the filler material on the album exposes the chinks in Aguilera’s otherwise glorious armor.

CLAUDE KELLY TALKS ABOUT CHRISTINA AND GAGA COMPARISONS

Fans have already gotten a pretty good taste of what they can expect from Christina Aguilera's upcoming album, Bionic, out June 8. In addition to the singles "Woohoo" and "Not Myself Tonight," other tracks from the disc have leaked online. Despite rumors that worries about the album's success are what prompted Aguilera to postpone her summer tour to 2011, songwriter Claude Kelly said it will be the album of the summer.

"I'm excited about Christina," Kelly told MTV News at the "Sex and the City 2" premiere, where he also dished about working with Leona Lewis and Jennifer Hudson on their track for the flick.

Kelly said that he enjoyed hitting the studio with Aguilera to cook up some choice tunes for the release.

"I did 'Woohoo,' which is the single out now," he shared about the track that also features Nicki Minaj. "I did 'Glam,' which is kind of like futuristic, kind of an homage to 'Vogue' by Madonna. [I did] a song called 'Vanity.' [I did one called] 'I Hate Boys.' She has a fun record coming out."

Aguilera's look during TV appearances and videos of late has led some Lady Gaga fans to accuse Christina of biting Gaga's style. Kelly said the two pop queens couldn't be more different.

"I will say that there's room for everybody," he said. "I also know Gaga as well. She's incredible. They really are honestly two different powerhouses. Once the album comes out and they hear what Christina's doing, I don't think the comparisons will last. But, I mean, at the end of the day, they're both amazing women."

CHRISTINA AGUILERA TEARS UP 'YOU LOST ME' ON 'AMERICAN IDOL' FINALE AGUILERA WILL PERFORM AT 2010 MTV MOVIE AWARDS JUNE 6TH

Christina Aguilera may have taken a few years off to raise her son, but the singer proved she's back in a big way on the "American Idol" finale Wednesday night (May 26).

The singer — who will perform at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on June 6 — tore into a stirring, soulful version of "You Lost Me," a track from her forthcoming Bionic LP, that proved, if there were any doubt, that she's got one of the best voices in the business.

Aguilera took the stage after this season's female contestants — Lacey Brown, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Siobhan Magnus and Crystal Bowersox — performed a medley of her hits "Beautiful" and "Fighter," emerging from below the stage to help put the finishing flourishes on the latter, then, as the stage went dark, stepping out into a spotlight for her solo.

Accompanied by somber strings and a piano, hair pulled back in her Bionic curls, and wearing a demure black ensemble, Aguilera started softly, singing about smoking guns, lost magic and the tragedy of a dying relationship, then picked up steam from there as the music swirled beneath her. The middle section of the song was smoky and solemn, Aguilera stretching the notes, then, eyes closed and right arm outstretched, sang for the rafters.

Her voice got bigger and bigger as the song entered the home stretch, but she never let things get out of control, and brought the tune home with a simple, breath-y "You lost me."

And as the "Idol" audience gave her a much-deserved standing ovation, it became clear that Aguilera still has got the goods to go up against anyone.

THE IDOL WOMEN VS. CHRISTINA AGUILERA

The four female finalists who left early -- Lacey Brown, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens and Paige Miles -- start Christina Aguilera's Beautiful, soon joined by Crystal and Siobhan. Siobhan and Paige take the main leads for the next song, Fighter, the fully-recovered Paige sounding tough enough to have lasted a couple more weeks. The women introduce Christina, and she sings just enough of Fighter to make everybody wonder, "That's it?!"

But the lights come back up and Christina's getting the ballad You Lost Me all to herself. The Idol women are nowhere to be found on the stage -- maybe Christina's just blown them off it, because she's exhibiting a combination of range and precision-based control that none of them possessed. That said, I'd dare anybody who's never heard this song before to quote more than the title after her performance.

Next, it's Ricky Gervais by satellite, paying tribute to Simon: "You have taken ordinary people's dreams and made those dreams a reality ... and you only take 80 percent of their wages. What a guy."

FAN MADE REMIX OF "DESNUDATE" FEAT. PITBULL

FIRST IMPRESSION REVIEW: CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S BIONIC

With each release Christina Aguilera has successfully done the unexpected: bubblegum pop, introduced a dirrty alter ego named Xtina, 1920’s -1940’s jazz, and now fearlessly reinventing her sound through Bionic (out June 8th.) Bionic showcases many new sides of Christina I never knew existed, namely a beautifully raw and flawed vocal range that is almost unrecognizable at times.

With tracks Bionic and Elastic Love Christina steps into M.I.A. and Santigold territory and pulls off two unexpectedly bombastic tracks. Glam, Prima Donna and Vanity show off her cocky and playful side, while the Sia tracks serve as the “heart and soul” of the record. Bionic is an eclectic, bold and inspired album that recklessly challenges mainstream pop radio.

Time will only tell how the album will be received but I will pre-maturely call the record another triumphant creative endeavor under Christina’s belt. Details about each track are below (sans interludes and bonus tracks.)

•Bionic: The album kicks off with this audio bitch-slap. Very Santigold + M.I.A sounding and I’m totally okay with that!
•Not Myself Tonight: First single from Bionic, great club song about losing your inhibitions.
•Woo Hoo: A catchy tongue-in-cheek hip hop track with Nicki Minaj.
•Elastic Love: Co-written with M.I.A. and Switch. Big spacey sound to be played out of big speakers with plenty of bass.
•Desnudate: There is so much going on in this track but it all somehow works. Definitely one of the album’s best surprises.
•Glam: Xtina and Tricky team up to give us Vogue for the year 2020, incredible driving and dizzying beat pushes the album into overdrive.
•Prima Donna: A bumping and hypnotic bassline, will definitely make it to my summer playlists.
•Half way through Bionic, the album slows down for Sex for Breakfast. Smooth and mellow R&B track reminiscent of Janet Jackson.
•Lift Me Up: This studio version is a bit different than the version performed at the Hope for Haiti telethon. Beautiful and raw vocals on this Linda Perry-produced track.
•All I Need: A sweet piano ballad dedicated to Christina’s son Max.
•I Am: Christina admits she’s everything but perfect in this great song out of the sessions with Sia Fuller.
•You Lost Me: Melodic piano track about infidelity featuring some really cool vocal arrangements.
•I Hate Boys: It’s got a stadium anthem feel but remains light, sassy and fun.
•My Girls: A funky girl power song featuring some of the most iconic women in music Peaches and Le Tigre.
•Vanity: Christina closes out Bionic with this hilarious dance track about embracing your vain side. Sure to be a staple at many drag shows.
Verdict: B+

You’ve got to hand it to Christina for going after what she wants no matter what the risk. Like Christina’s previous records Bionic is heavily rooted in concept, which can sometimes create a mess (notably here with the sequencing.) I like every song on this record for different reasons and the record as a whole for not taking itself too seriously. It’s definitely made the sonic boom statement that Christina is back!

CHRISTINA AGUILERA PREPS FOR IDOL AMIDST TOUR CANCELLATION

Despite facing criticism for canceling her anticipated summer tour, Christina Aguilera will grace the stage on American Idol.

Due to appear on Wednesday’s finale, Aguilera is expected to perform a special song from her forthcoming album “Bionic”.

While the exact song has not been revealed, “Woo Hoo,’ a song featuring Nicki Minaj, is rumored to be the night’s selection.

In related news, organizers for Aguilera’s anticipated summer tour have come to her defense, blaming the tour’s cancellation on timing.

“Christina Aguilera’s summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to prior commitments that the singer had made to her film ‘Burlesque’ and to the promotion of her new album ‘Bionic,’ reports Live Nation. “The singer felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date this wasn’t possible.”

Refunds are available at point of purchase.

Catch Christina Aguilera Wednesday, May 26, on American Idol (FOX, 8pm).

A MESSAGE ABOUT THE BIONIC TOUR

CHRISTINA WROTE A MESSAGE ON HER WEBSITE REGARDING HER BIONIC SUMMER TOUR BEING POSTPONED. HERE IS THE MESSAGE:

Dear fans,

I made the decision to move my summer tour and I am truly sorry to those of you who had purchased tickets and have been disappointed by the news. Immediately after wrapping production on Burlesque, I went directly back into the studio and then quickly started the promotional process for Bionic. With both the album press and film press I am booked the entire summer and need time to focus on the work at hand. After reviewing the schedule with my team, I realized there was not enough time to put together and rehearse for a proper show, one that is at the caliber you expect from me or at the level I would present to my fans. In addition, my album has not even been released as yet and I would like for you all to become familiar with the music before you hear it live on tour. Again, I am sorry to have to move the dates but I promise to come see you when the time is right!

I look forward to seeing you all on the road soon enough to get BIONIC…

With love,

C/X

Xtina X's Out Summer Tour & Let's put these "low ticket sales" rumors to rest, once and for all.

Bad day for summer tours. First U2 has to call curtains on its shows, now Christina Aguilera is putting the kibosh on her own U.S. trek, postponing her planned 20-date tour until next year.

The reason? She's got too much work to do to, you know, work.

"Christina Aguilera's summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to prior commitments that the singer had made to her film Burlesque and to the promotion of her new album Bionic," tour promoter Live Nation said in a statement.

But don't cry for her busy schedule. She's really canceling it out of respect for the fans—putting on a show now wouldn't live up to the quality either Aguilera or her audience have come to expect.

"The singer felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date, this wasn't possible," her spokeswoman said.

The tour was scheduled to begin on July 15. Her new album, Bionic, is due out June 8. The new dates will be announced later this year.

New dates will be announced later this year."

Bionic is due for release on June 8. Two days earlier, she is set to appear at the MTV Movie Awards. Her film Burlesque, which stars Kristen Bell and Eric Dane, hits theaters on November 24.

Aguilera's first scheduled summer concert was to take place at Uncasville, Connecticut on July 15 and her tour was set to end on August 19 in Irvine, California.

ALL I NEED

...You bring me hope when I can't breathe

You give me love, you’re all I need

Slowly I’m holding you

Closely wrapped in my arms

In your…

I AM

...It's not that I need it, just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending...

YOU LOST ME

...And this is tragic

You couldn’t keep your hands to yourself

I feel like our world’s been infected

And somehow you left me neglected...

I HATE BOYS

...He-e-eh!

I hate boys, but boys love me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I hate boys!

If you hate them boys, shake it, now shake it

If you hate them boys, shake it, now shake it

We will would all be happy, all be glad

If sweet, mother nature never had

All these dirty little boys that think that the girls

Will only be their toys

Boys want some women…

MY GIRLS

...Girls

So ladies step it up and take control

Now shout

My girls, we’re stronger than one!

Now shout

And sometimes, we gotta have fun!

Come on

My girls headed to the city, y’all

We got Cosmo on the dash

And tickets on the floor

We got Sia and Ronna and Peaches too

We got Johanna and JD and we’re coming for you

My girls (My girls)...

VANITY

...I love me even more (It's me I adore)

Ain’t nobody got shit on me

I’m the best for sure
Ma chere amore!

V is for vanity

Everytime I look at me

I turn myself on, yeah,
I turn myself on, yeah,

V is for vanity

Thank you mom and daddy

‘Cause I turn myself on, yeah

I turn myself on
Get into…

MONDAY MORNING

...Skippin’ work and I don’t need to excuse it

Don’t guess, that floating feeling I get

Get in the moment, makes it really worth it

Hey, forget about your Monday morning

We are never gonna be that boring!

Hey, forget about your Monday morning

So, so ordinary, same old story…

BOBBLEHEAD

...When you talk all I hear is,

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

But wait, like, I don’t get it?!

Hee hee hee ha!

Hey what ya lookin’ at?

Body’s so skinny, but your head is so fat

Talkin' talkin' talkin’

But you don’t say shit

Got a way with words, you give me laughing fits

Banging on the door, nobody upstairs

You’re a Nightmare on Elm Street

Got everybody scared

Make me wanna run when you’re coming around
Because you ugly! Why?
It's a frightening sound...

BIRDS OF PREY

...Lost inside a fantasy

Everything not quite what it seems to be

Slipping and falling through the looking glass

Catching a glimpse at all that lies behind the mask
You do...

STRONGER THAN EVER

...All or nothing

I fear that something's wrong

I’m tired of walking on eggs shells!

Terrified to fail

And in order to please you

I’ve abandoned myself!

And though it used to hurt me

When you pushed me away

I’m stronger then ever!

You made me this way...
