Robyn just recently put out a song called "Fembots." I'm sensing a theme in pop music here... The Robot is returning?

Anyone else see the theme here? She's doing other artists' music videos. So... let's count how many she's doing:

1. Madonna - "Human Nature"
2. Beyonce - "Video Phone"
3. Madonna - "Express Yourself"
4. Lady Gaga - "Bad Romance"
5. Madonna - "Like a Prayer"
6. Janet Jackson - "I Get Lonely" / Backstreet Boys - "Quit Playin' Games with My Heart"

I don't think it's her best video by any means, but I like the song a lot more now- I knew it'd be growing on me. Very excited for the album!

Good link, Amy. I forgot all about Gwen Stefani.

However, they named off Michael Jackson and I don't see any Michael Jackson in Christina's vid. The link mentions the crotch-grabbing, but Madonna did that in "Express Yourself." And that's the only thing Michael related that they pointed out.

I'm not impressed in any way by the song, but... maybe it'll grow on me too later.

I heard "Woohoo" last night- I really like it! And, ugh, at another artist doing a deluxe edition with bonus tracks. I budgeted out my spending money for the next couple months, since there's a lot I want to buy, but now I don't know if I'll be able to afford it all, even if it's just a few more dollars for the deluxe version.

Thanks for all the info, AF!

Have to say, I'm not really feeling them Bit of a dissapointing comeback, esp as her single isnt doing that well.

"I Hate Boys" its a good song but "You Lost Me" I don't like it. Her single is not doing well is because all of comparison to Lady Gaga and criticizing the single.

[Atlantica]

There can be critism of the Lady GaGa comparisons, but if the song was good enough, it could have stood up against it.

For example, 'Gimme More' by Britney could not have had more contrversy surrounding it, and a dreadful video, yet it still got to number 3 in the charts, as the song in the middle of the tabloid tales was strong enough. thats just my two cents anyway.

Yahoo! seems to think that Aguilera's life is falling apart due to this setback:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopth ... u-in-2011/

The headline: "Christina Aguilera's career woes deepen." Even I, who never liked her much, have to say...

There can be critism of the Lady GaGa comparisons, but if the song was good enough, it could have stood up against it.

That is sad considering Aguilera has the voice edge over Gaga and back in most of '09, people called Gaga a clone of "Xtina." Obviously, "Bad Romance" and Fame Monster blew that away.

"Not Myself Tonight" sure isn't doing Aguilera any favors. Why on Earth would she do a video copying other pop stars' videos to a song called "Not Myself" for a new project people think is a clone of Lady Gaga's work?

All of the bonus tracks have hit the web, and to be honest, I prefer them over most of the tracks that made the standard edition of the album. I'm just not thrilled with this album as a whole - a bit too much filler for me.

Favorite tracks:
Elastic Love
Vanity
Monday Morning
Bobblehead
Birds Of Prey
I Am (Regular version and "Stripped")
