[NEWS] FROM THE VAULT: CHRISTINA AGUILERA 'DIRRTY'

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]

The year was 2001 and a certain Britney Spears had freshly shocked the industry with an altogether raunchier image and attitude courtesy of her ‘Slave for You’ video.

However, as the age old saying goes, never count out the underdog. A statement which rung true and then some when longtime chart-rival Christina Aguilera roared back with ‘Dirrty’ a year later.

The first single to be lifted from her highly-praised and mega-selling sophomore set, ‘Stripped’, 2002’s ‘Dirrty’ served as an introduction to Ms. Aguilera’s explicit and controversial alter-ego Xtina.

Leaving behind the safeness which defined her earlier effort, the one-time girl-next-door, was now leaving her doors open – both lyrically and visually – in a way we’d never seen before. Ditched were the Pop-by-the-numbers tracks, in favor of a filthy urban sound and sexed-up demeanor, ‘Dirrty’ (and the ‘Stripped’ era) marked a turning point in Christina’s career.

Joining forces again with Rockwilder, the very man responsible for her then-latest hit ‘Lady Marmalade’, Aguilera wanted something radically different from than anything she’d done before to usher in her newest project. The result was this bodacious, unapologetic party anthem based on featured rapper Redman’s hit ‘Let’s Get Dirty’.

And while the 30 year old might be a judge on rival show, The Voice, she definitely served up the X-Factor. Helmed by the great David Lachapelle, the accompanying video depicted an underground party headlined by biker chick Xtina, where dancing suggestively was a requirement and wearing as few clothes as possible a staunch obligation.

From the classic choreography to the now-iconic leather chaps, it’s safe to say that Dirrty sits effortlessly within the upper echelon of the Top 5 female videos of the 00’s.

And with the mother of one now in the studio working on a comeback (after a series of commercial disappointments), we can’t help but get excited that she’s already christened the sound as echoing that of ‘Stripped’. Of course, we don’t particularly endorse her re-treading ‘Dirrty’ water (see: ‘Not Myself Tonight’); however we seriously hope Baby Jane can recapture that imperfectly-perfect combination of strength, hope and vulnerability that made the album it called home so captivating and relatable.

When you hit rock bottom, the only way is up. As such, let’s hope ‘Moves Like Jagger’ global chart success is but a small indication of what’s to come for Christina Aguilera, one of the most gifted artists of this generation.

[NEWS] UNRELEASED RECORDINGS REVEAL CONSPIRACY AGAINST CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Your Chicago Pop Music Examiner recently attended a secret meeting at the Hilton in Downtown Chicago. I wasn't told what it was about (I assumed a bunch of Lady Gaga fans gathered there to kill me), but had to go due to curiosity.



There were seven people at this meeting and I was basically strip searched so I couldn't record any information. An audio recording, which took place on April 2, 2010, was played and featured a bunch of people in a room talking about ways to destroy Christina Aguilera's upcoming "atomic disaster" Bionic.

"I have already emailed Perez Hilton ," a man with a thick Middle Eastern accent said. Another suggested that they "work the phones," which sounded like he meant to have people call radio stations and tell them to not play the the album's first single "Not Myself Tonight."

"Nobody cares about the phones; it's all about the blogs!" a frog-like voice that belonged to a guy named Roger revealed. The next part of the tape featured the group playing "Not Myself Tonight" and laughing over it. After the record stopped, insults were made about Christina Aguilera that are too offensive to talk about here.



The guy who led the present meeting at the Hilton was a former record executive who now teaches at Columbia University. He believes the April 2, 2010 meeting was held by Interscope executives. However, the name Lady Gaga wasn't mentioned once in the recording.



UPDATE:

Peter Buchanan Examiner · 46 years old

I wish I could post the recording I heard, but can't (yet). However, all my posts are true and this will be proven so soon enough. Notice, I didn't say that this was the work of Interscope. However, it is suggested by a lot of people that it is.

[NEWS] FURTHER DETAILS ON 2010 BACKLASH LEAK OUT

Chicago’s B96 talked about my story about the conspiracy against Christina Aguilera’s album Bionic. Actually, the story has made news everywhere and I have received mostly positive feedback with many thanking me for exposing what has been going on in the music industry for years.



Rick Sanchez from Data Analytics contacted me yesterday and informed me that “Not Myself Tonight” received excellent call-out research results in April of 2010. “She had a higher rating than just about any song on the radio at that time. It was a guaranteed hit. But something happened. And I don’t think it was something very ethical.” Mr. Sanchez noted that within one week, the call-out research scores suddenly dropped and that never happens with a single. “Usually, a song gains call-out research points or loses points very slowly.”



Mr. Sanchez revealed that in the past, call-out research scores for songs such as “I Drove All Night” by Celine Dion and “It’s Like That” by Mariah Carey had been manipulated, but nobody knew until a couple years back. “Some people may not think this is important, but call-out research scores determine radio airplay.” So, why was Christina Aguilera’s song tampered with?



“I have absolutely no direct proof, but definitely believe this is the work of Lady Gaga and her team. You would have no idea how much power Lady Gaga has (or had) in the industry. Many people I know refer to Lady Gaga as the Tanya Harding of the music industry. I hope I am wrong because I would like to think that nobody could be that vile.”

[NEWS] THE CONSPIRACY BEHIND CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S 'BIONIC' BOMB

In March of 2010, Chicago radio programmers and deejays got an early listen to Christina’s new album Bionic. The response was very positive, but folks tied to Interscope Records (Lady Gaga’s record company) kept insisting that the record was a bomb.



In fact, some of Lady Gaga’s handlers allegedly kept referring to Christina as “Floptina,” a name celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was allegedly told to use. When the first single arrived in April of 2010, initial response was positive. However, there were many people who called into radio stations to insult the song. “This was obviously the work of some anti-Christina street team doing this and not regular listeners. They concentrated on big markets like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and Miami.”



The video for “Not Myself Tonight” didn’t help the single. But it wasn’t as bad as Perez Hilton and Akon (another factor in the Christina Aguilera backlash) made it out to be. Apparently, Akon (Lady Gaga’s friend) was telling everybody it was a ripoff of Madonna’s “Express Yourself.” This occurred even after Akon heard an early demo of “Born This Way,” which some say sounded more like the Madonna hit than the final version released in February of 2011.



“Perez Hilton was still angry at Christina Aguilera for making negative comments about his marketing partner Lady Gaga. He was out to get Christina from the very beginning. Unfortunately—then—Perez Hilton still had an influence on the music industry. Now, he is seen as an absolute joke and Lady Gaga’s career is going down faster than the atomic bomb. The fact that her album was practically given away for free proves this,” says a music industry insider.



Bionic was released on June 24, 2010 to mixed reviews. However, reviewers had already been told by music industry “insiders” (a.k.a. ‘friends’ of Lady Gaga) that the album was a flop. There was no way the album could have received objective reviews.



Program Director Jared Stelling believes the Christina Aguilera backlash was the absolute work of Lady Gaga and her friends. “You would not believe how the industry works and how much power one star has to bring another down. A couple years back, Mariah Carey hired a couple journalists to write negative things about Madonna and her tour. One of the writers worked for MSN and was fired when the truth came out. Luckily, that didn’t stop Madonna from selling tickets. Unfortunately, Christina couldn’t even launch a tour because of the backlash. It’s pretty pathetic. However, karma exists and right now, Lady Gaga is sinking faster than the Titanic.”

Editors Note:

Reading this just pisses me the F**K off. Excuse my French. I seriously believe this is true. Ever since the beginning of the Bionic era we heard nothing but negative crap come from Lady Gaga's friends and confidants about 'Bionic' being a knockoff of Lady Gaga's sound. Then shortly after her pathetic monsters chimed in and tore 'Bionic' apart. They didn't give her a chance to prove that the songs in that album were amazing. But I wasn't surprised to find out that 'Bionic' was the 2nd most illegally downloaded album of 2010. Billboard named 'Bionic' album of the year. Leave it to delusional 'monsters' and their pathetic carbon copy Queen to ruin someones hardwork without facts. Karma's a bitch and she's coming for your wig... bitch.

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.

Editor's Note:

As we patiently wait for the Release of the "You Lost Me" music video i thought it would be a good idea to go back and reflect on what Christina has brought to the table so far. Bionic IS Christina's most FUN album she has ever released with beat popping tracks like "Desnudate" "Elastic Love" "Prima Donna" among many more. The first single "Not Myself Tonight" was the phttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giferfect single to be released putting the cherry on top for the product with the Music Video, giving it the style and look of how she wanted to promote it..with the You Lost Me music video preview i saw almost 2 videos combined, "Beautiful" & "The Voice Within" But knowing Christina Aguilera shes going to push boundaries again and make a video that will be astounding. We still have a lot coming from Christina, remember we are still waiting for the Theatrical Trailer, book, and soundtrack for Burlesque. Among many more performances and surprises she has in store for you, like a ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE COVER she has made one for every album lets see what iconic cover she bring for this edition.
