ryanripley 86,575 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 i put flop in quotation marks cus i literally know nothing about this album apart from it's reputation as one of pop's most memorable flops i finally got round to listening to it and it's a decent album so far so what happened? does anyone know the full story? was the album too long to do well commercially? was it poor management? https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloody g 31,746 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I remember listening to Not Myself Tonight and thinking it was like a lovegame wannabe and then I forgot about it. I saw there was an album with it in like 2013 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe Buffay 12,525 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Because at that time Gaga was on top of the world and Xtina was compared to her. The 'Not Myself Tonight' video being a rip-off of Madonna's Express Yourself, Xtina being a shady b!tch in most of her interviews, not enough promotion (she stopped promoting it the day the album dropped), her private life was falling apart (getting a divorce), starring in a movie (Burlesque), the media lynch...

Bio 23,538 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 1. Her popularity wasn't as big at the time. Back to Basics did ok considering the sound wasn't really trendy but it wasn't that big. 2. 4 years is too long to release an album, especially if the artist's popularity is at a low. 3. Perez Hilton smear campaign, Lady Gaga comparisons. 4. I don't think this is necessarily a reason but the album was not as good as Stripped and Back to Basics. 5. She was super bitchy during interviews. People were over her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarstruckIllusion 52,493 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 True. I've always wondered this.

Reginald 13,841 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 It seemed like a gaga knockoff. Still an album full of bops though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
