[NEWS] #TEAMXTINA'S SERA HILL SAYS PERFORMING WITH CHRISTINA WAS A 'DREAM COME TRUE'

The Voice contestant Sera Hill has said that performing with Christina Aguilera was a “dream come true”.

The hotel worker had just finished her blind audition performance of Mary J Blige’s ‘I’m Going Down’ when Aguilera, who had turned her chair around and become her mentor, said she felt inspired to join her on stage.

Aguilera and Hill then sang a few lines of ‘I’m Going Down’ together for the audience and fellow coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green.

Speaking to reporters this week, Hill said: “That was unbelievable. She is my idol, she is an icon, and I wasn’t expecting it.

“I was just trying not to trip and fall and sing the notes right! Christina singing with me was just an added bonus and so very, very surreal. It was a dream come true, absolutely.”

Hill said that she had no idea Aguilera only had one spot left on her season two team when she took to the stage, although she did know she was one of the last contestants to audition.

“I was hoping I would actually get to audition,” she said. “I was one of the last people to go and was like, ‘Oh, gosh, what if all the teams are full and no-one picks me?’ The fact Christina turned around and liked ‘I’m Going Down’ was just amazing.

“It helps me bring back the real soul and music I always loved. She is the best role model for that.”

As for what she is expecting from the upcoming battle rounds, she said: “I’m excited and I’m just looking forward to seeing what Christina has in mind for the battle rounds and how she pairs the teams up.”

She added: “Everyone is so incredible and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with and do my best with it.”

[NEWS] RIHANNA HINTS AT A POSSIBLE CHRISTINA AGUILERA COLLABORATION WITH CAKE?

If there's one thing Rihanna has shown us over the past couple of years (besides a fondness for the smell of, erm, "sex in the air"), it's that she isn't exactly against collaborating with other artists.

Now it seems Christina Aguilera is next on her list, after the 'You Da One' hit maker posted a series of tweets to her Twitter account suggesting a hook-up with the talent show judge will be released in the very near future.

Referencing a short track on her new album Talk That Talk that is expected to be re-released as a full-length song, she said: "Would y'all be mad if Birthday #CAKE became a single?

"Now here's the trick question! #IF I put collaborator on it, who would u wanna see lick the icing off????? #CAKE"

Appearing to reference one of Aguilera's most successful singles, she teased: "I need somebody #DIRRRTY on my Birthday #CAKE ;) lol"

Would you like to see Christina and RiRi join forces?

[NEWS] LE TIGRE TALKS ABOUT THEIR POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT WITH CHRISTINA'S NEW ALBUM

Le Tigre wrote and produced "My Girls", from Bionic, Christina Aguilera's latest album. How was it to work with her?

It was wonderful. She's an incredible artist, an excellent mother and a very funny person. It was fun, very natural. I didn't have an impression that working with her was any different than working with Le Tigre or MEN. I felt it was a great collaboration.

I felt I was lucky to work with her, considering she's a very relevant woman to the feminist movement.

How were you invited to work with her?

My girlfriend was working with her and Aguilera asked her to get us in touch.

Did you work on other songs?

Yeah, we ended up with two songs, "My Girls" and another one (Listen Up) that they might hold for the next album, or maybe not even that.

[RUMOR] CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND EMINEM COLLABORATION ALLEGEDLY CONFIRMED!!!

The controversial rapper Eminem who has distinguished himself by picking fights with the more famous members of the show biz such as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, is working with the great singer Christina Aguilera on a track.

It's unbelievable because ten years ago this collaboration would have never came about because of their history. "This song is great! It will be a worldwide hit and Christina hopes the collaboration comes to life and it's the best it can be. She cannot wait to release it as a single and prove her critics wrong."

It's a genius strategy by the singer and rapper, because of the fact the two stars put their beef behind them and they are both controversial artists. Eminem is also excited for the prospect of a released collaboration and it will be produced by William Orbit who is working on Aguilera's new album as previously reported. Eminem is the best of his genre and Christina is the best singer of her entire generation. Lyrically, it will be very deep and emotionally driven. This will be a combination even more exciting than his duet with Rihanna which was great in itself.

[RUMOR] CHRISTINA AGUILERA RECORDING A SONG WITH MADONNA

The "Moves Like Jagger" songstress was accompanied by boyfriend Matt Rutler, as the pair exited their hotel while heading over to The Box Nightclub and Cabaret in Soho for a little evening entertainment.

The sighting comes as Christina is in the midst of recording with Madonna for the Material Girl's LP, while reports tell that Aguilera has also just recently hired a vocal coach ahead of beginning of putting material together for an albumof her own.

As for her choice in a mentor, the 30-year-old is said to have opted on Seth Riggs - who has previously worked with stars including Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles and Josh Groban, among others.

Editors Note:

Hmm... I don't know if we should get too excited about this rumor. We already know that Christina is working with long time Madonna producer, William Orbit on her new album, due Spring/Summer 2012. He has also been working with Madonna on some new material. So the rumor could have been a misunderstanding, but who knows. I may be wrong. We will have to wait and see how it pans out. But it would be pretty awesome to see the Queen of Pop collaborate with Legendtina.

[NEWS] FRENCHIE DAVIS: 'HOLY LORD! XTINA IS WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM AND WANTS TO...'

[NEWS] A LYRICAL LOOK AT ADAM AND XTINA'S 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER' SWAGGER BREAKDOWN

“Moves Like Jagger” should not logically exist. Radio granted Hands All Over‘s lead single “Misery” little company, making Maroon 5′s career trajectory resemble even more the downward half of a roller coaster, a few consolation bumps the only highlight until the end of the ride. Christina Aguilera, meanwhile, was lucky to have a career trajectory after her Bionic bomb and subsequent tabloid oops. Half a year ago, a collaboration between the two would have seemed less like an event, let alone a potential No. 1 track, and more like two shipwrecked people clinging to one another in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable.

Then came The Voice, NBC’s search for a star singer that so far has been more helpful to its search party. Coaches Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton were on the rise before the show and didn’t much need the boost. Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera did, and fortunately for them, becoming the show’s breakout stars provided an opening to plausibly crack the charts again. Their song’s got as much swagger as any given song this decade despite “swagger” never appearing in the lyrics, Maroon 5 are much better when they’re trying disco and not funk, and Christina can still sing, but none of those alone or combined took “Moves Like Jagger” past former No. 1 Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” now with a hangover of about 18 chart spots. Nor did the prospect of a coach pairing alone; Cee Lo and Xtina’s “Nasty, recorded pre-Voice anyway, didn’t have nearly the same push. Adam and Christina’s personalities bolstered the show, and they bolster the otherwise lightweight “Moves Like Jagger.” People want to hear them fight and flirt.

The first thing to know about “Moves,” written by Levine with assists by Benjamin Levin, Ammar Malik and Shellback, is easy enough to guess: Adam has the moves like Jagger, and Christina crumples at the sight. The second thing to know is that “Moves Like Jagger” is a spiritual sequel to “Give a Little More,” the “Misery” follow-up and near-hit. Both got their frisson, if you think they’ve got frisson, by staging miniature battles of the genders. Both sound less like relationships than hostage situations, all about negotiating control and who’s doing the one-sided seducing at any given point.But “Moves” adds another layer, one that exploits the slightly sleazy sexual tension between the two that The Voice hinted at roughly twice an episode. It only takes one viewing of The Voice, one recap or just one glance at the press photos to sense the “hate-flirting” as one commenter put it. They’re both playing it up, Adam increasingly shirtless to tease the two-thirds of the world attracted to him (sample Google results: “Can I have a heterosexual man-crush on Adam Levine?” and “My Mother TOTALLY Has a Crush on Adam Levine”) and Christina, it seems, not acting herself tonight or for the rest of the decade. On “Moves Like Jagger,” they play it all the way up the charts.

You wanted control, so we waited
I put on a show, now I make it
You say I’m a kid, my ego is big
I don’t give a shit
And it goes like this

The first stanza of “Moves Like Jagger” is a throwaway, full of already-trashed lines like “just shoot for the stars” and “aim for my heart.” It’s semi-romantic BS to pass the time before the synth bass groans in; it’s small talk. The lyrics get going when the song does. “Christina” wanted control, so they held off on anything romantic until “Adam”‘s moves made that impossible. (Every listener will tell you about mishearing “now I make it” as “now we’re naked.” This is deliberate.) “You say I’m a kid,” Adam sings, and it doesn’t matter that he’s a year older than Christina or that the two singers have no romantic connection. Duets tend to have this subtext built into the form by default; plug these two in, and it’s barely subtext.

I don’t need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I’ll own you
With the moves like Jagger

These lyrics look much different on paper than in song. Credit Adam Levine’s voice, loose with autotune and doing Jagger-like dances around every note. He makes come-ons like “kiss me ’til you’re drunk” seem less creepy and pickup lines like “take me by the tongue” seem like they might work. He even sells, almost, the Mick Jagger comparison–impressive, because although songs about celebrities and rockers are numerous, extended comparisons to rock stars aren’t. Jagger’s real moves weren’t dances so much as, as critic Frank Kogan put it, more like a “cold deadly stalk.” And taken literally, the chorus of “Moves Like Jagger” must be talking about mind control, as if Jagger’s moves were also hypnotist’s pendulums. Adam Levine will literally own you. His kiss will literally intoxicate you, as if his saliva is tequila. His eyes are made of spirals. All this is ridiculous, even more so when considering the decades-forged charisma gap between Levine and Jagger. But the same suspension of disbelief that made “Moves Like Jagger” a smash hit makes it seem at least kind of believable.

Oh, so get in the car
We can ride it wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I’m shifting gears
I’ll take it from here

The second verse makes things darker; she’s “broken and scarred” to where nothing feels right, which invites biographical criticism but doesn’t beg it. He makes her think he’s got the solution. Levine could’ve ended things on “when you’re with me, I make you believe,” which sounds nice enough, until he finishes it with “I make you believe that I’ve got the key,” deceptive and a fake-out. Then there’s a metaphorical car, which she can steer and drive until she can’t, and Adam’s got the steering wheel and the gear stick and, by the way, the moves like Jagger again.

You want to know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
But if I share my secret
You gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

Christina’s contribution to “Moves Like Jagger” consists of two interchangeable verses. Her “secret,” such as it is, is that she does in fact like the moves like Jagger. This isn’t really a secret. Neither is the fact that Christina’s own moves and melisma are toned down exponentially, or that she’s directly referencing her own “Genie in a Bottle“–almost the same song with no Adam–with the “rub me right” line. The real secret is whatever unexplained Jagger move kept Christina Aguilera from completely taking over the song. Most critics, when talking about “Moves Like Jagger,” talk about how Christina’s barely on it. Compare “Lady Marmalade,” where Mya, Pink and L’il Kim–charismatic performers all–might as well be laying down rafters for Christina to soar above. After this, she disappears except to barely echo Adam’s lines or toss a few notes into the song here and there. It’s practically a conquest, a duet less about singing together and more about fighting to see who’s sung into submission first.

Again, none of this sounds menacing; it’s played for fun and diversion, and it only lasts as long as “Moves Like Jagger”‘s three or so minutes. Adam, headlines indicate, seems like an OK guy, free of the Casanova scandals that this song would suggest, and Christina–probably noticing how her more subdued Sia collaborations were the ones critics and fans didn’t insult–has hunkered back from her coach-to-coach lasciviousness. It helps that The Voice isn’t airing until spring, keeping the two from their Simon/Paula schtick for now. “Moves Like Jagger” is the next best thing: a small song’s worth of tension, a referendum on Adam and Christina’s careers and a lengthy ad for The Voice that gave them continued life. It’s not enough for a career revival, but it couldn’t succeed if people didn’t care.

[NEWS] ADAM LEVINE: I LOVED CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S DELIVERY ON 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER'

Adam Levine has praised his fellow Voice judge Christina Aguilera's feature on Maroon 5's hit 'Moves Like Jagger'.

The band's frontman told Parade that he was pleased to see Aguilera take part in a track which is "very different" from her usual solo material.

"It was awesome. She's super talented. I fully trusted her to do her thing. She's a pro. I love how restrained and held back it was. It's very different for her. I loved her delivery," he explained.

Levine also revealed that the success of 'Moves Like Jagger' has added extra enjoyment to Maroon 5's summer tour.

"It's been great. There's so much more buzz now surrounding the record. It's building up again. We're so happy for the success that we've had," he said.

"We kind of had a reintroduction to the world through The Voice and the single 'Moves Like Jagger' is blowing up. Everything is just incredible right now. We're very happy and very fired-up."

[SPECIAL REPORT] CONGRATULATIONS, XTINA!

We as fans, can't really ask for anything else from Christina Maria Aguilera. In ONE year, she has released a full LP, Bionic, a ball of bright bursting energy that truly is the greatest album of 2010 no matter what haters have to say about it. She stepped into new artistic territory with her very first feature film, Burlesque, in which she acted her ass off in a debut film. The crossover artists are few when it comes to achieving the kind of success she has in crossing over from singer to silver screen siren. Not to mention the Burlesque soundtrack in which Christina herself had executive producing rights to which gave us 8 more songs/videography from that alone. She has endured personal hardships, and has really come out the better person, striving for inner peace and happiness, and is ready to share her setbacks and triumphs with the entire world...mesmerizing. She is apart of a #1 television show, The Voice, in which she was placed at the forefront of all the promo, doing countless interviews, appearances, and has gained an audience of 12 million + people tuning in each week. She's everywhere. Late Night programs, magazine covers, real unscripted interviews where she's speaking from the heart, a hot new collaboration with Maroon 5. People everywhere are talking about her! We've got to see amazing live performances singing Gnarls Barkley, Queen, her own classics, not to mention the intense coaching snippets we've seen of her attacking songs and teaching her techniques to her apprentices. Speaking of, we've had the wonderful opportunity to see a whole new side to Christina. Her playfulness, her editing eye in regards to vocal gymnastics, her camaraderie with the other 'Voice' coaches, her feisty fiery side, her determination, her emotional investments about her passions, we are TRULY lucky to follow someone so perfectly flawed. What's to come you ask? A new music video for 'Moves Like Jagger' Season 2 of 'The Voice' a new album... astonishing. Thank you Christina! You truly are a godsend inspiration. You're human after all, and that's what we love and respect about you. You're your own person for better or worse. No matter what you're faced with, you get right back up and set an example for us all.

Love,

Your Fans xoxo ♥

[AUDIO] ADAM LEVINE TALKS COLLABORATION WITH CHRISTINA AGUILERA ON 'MOVES LIKE JAGGER'

During this first season of NBC’s The Voice, the drama hasn’t always been about the contestants.

In fact, critics have speculated that there’s onstage (and offstage) tension between coaches Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera.

So naturally, we were surprised when we heard the two were teaming up for Maroon 5‘s new single, “Moves Like Jagger.’

Our very own Carson Daly premiered the track worldwide this morning on AMP Radio and Adam called in to explain what’s going on behind the scenes!

The new single started trending worldwide on Twitter almost instantly and seems to be well on its way to becoming a summer sensation.

Carson got Adam Levine on the line to talk about working with Christina on both this track and The Voice:

If you missed the world premiere of “Moves Like Jagger” this morning on AMP Radio, take a listen right here!

"You know what, I think it’s going to be a great thing working together because I think she’s an amazing talent. We kind of are stupid, a little bickering on the show, but it doesn’t mean anything, you know? We’re just playing around and I think this will be a testament to the fact that we’re not going to let the reality TV gods pit us against each other."

But remember, The Voice is still a competition and Adam will do whatever it takes to defeat one of Team Xtina‘s strong contenders:

"I wanted Beverly [McClellan]. I really wanted her, but I lost her and now I must destroy her!"

But no matter what, two of Adam’s beloved team members arehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif getting voted off in tonight’s show.

Do you think he’ll get as emotional as Christina did last week? Here’s his take on the situation:

"I love those guys so much and I understand how Blake and Christina felt last week because I’m torn up about it. It’s going to be difficult. The good news is that everyone’s gotten a lot of exposure and a lot of recognition from the show already, so I don’t really consider anyone to be a loser. No one’s lost, but people do have to move forward, so it’ll be tough."

THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}

It's hard to believe it's already the one year anniversary of Christina Aguilera's fourth studio album, ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, are you ready to go?



From the moment I first heard ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, Christina has taken over my mind frame, and has had me put it on replay over and over until I've gone insane. Christina has effectively made me 'feel unusual' and I don't care one bit. I haven't gotten off the rollercoaster, and I still don't want to. Each and every day I'm shouting XXX-TTT-III-NNN-AA, say!



Thanks to ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, I listen to it at least once every day since its release and I've even renamed my Wednesdays to 'Woohoo Wednesdays' ...so "more power to the 'Woohoo.'" Christina has her Naked Sundays and I got my Woohoo Wednesdays, xoxo.



The vision behind ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC} is just absolutely astounding from the musical direction to the visual imagery which has established unimaginable iconography in Christina's colorful catalog of artistry. Christina also collaborated with an unprecedented amount of artists for ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC} from M.I.A. to Lil Jon (which came out of nowhere!), Le Tigre, Peaches, Santigold, Ladytron, and of course the bucket of sunshine, Sia Furler which has yielded tremendously spellbinding results.
