Reject False Icons 4,596 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) yeah It got really bad since bionic , I'd blame Perez & the social media snowball but he didn´t have much power and xtina had the chance to change that narrative but she never poured herself back into her career as much as before her family days. And it's ok if that's what she wants, she herself said her top priority is her family, she still has a core fandom of 30/40 something gays and girlies that supports her projects I'd probably say the same for Gaga when she starts building a family in a few years Edited January 2 by Reject False Icons 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout19 10,414 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 To be honest I was always thinking that she is kinda overrated. Yas, she has a great voice, but her songs... nothing special. I think I like 3 or 4 songs from her. Vino cu noi în bucătărie, adu cu tine și o farfurie. 10 1 2 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,370 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Like others, her vocal style just became obsolete. It's quintessentially from another era in music now and she will always be a nostalgic act more than a contemporary one. She seems to handle it well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faysalaaa 2,868 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 She could easily make songs that chart, but its clear shes making choices that matters to her as an artist, and shes not concerned about staying on top. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAGASEXUAL 3,350 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Burlesque soundtrack album is one of the greatest albums of all time for me, I wish she would make more songs like those. I can't stand Spanish music, I'm sorry. Edited January 2 by GAGASEXUAL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizel 593 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) She is still putting in a lot of effort, she had some beautiful videos for Aguilera , but with a voice and stunning beauty like hers, she should still be able to chart. Her management and poor lead singles, plus marketing all to blame, also the music needs to be more on point, this song below is beautiful but the voice needs a better mixing, it’s a bit too sharp. These details can all play a part Edited January 2 by Brizel 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because it was like a compilation Album, with 11/14 Songs of the Album being released prior already. ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah wasnt the album released in 4 parts? Its obviously not a good strategy, so obviously she doesnt care about charting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbHawker 6,583 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Musics been average over the last 10 years. She’s still got it, obvs. I hope she makes a huge comeback. She’s one of my fave OG pop girls. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obviously not a good strategy, so obviously she doesnt care about charting. I disagree - the goal was never to chart tho. It was to get a streaming Audience. Xtina has not had an Album out since 2018, her daily Streams were low. She had also no new Projects planned. The Goal with the EPs was to have consistent releases, since they put you higher on playlists + the algorithm. So what better way to do this with a spanish speaking Album, since Latin Music is one of the biggest Streaming Genres? I mean she also Collab'd with a bunch of famous Latin Music Stars + is rumored to do Singles with more. I think to revive Xtinas Streams + introduce her to a new Audience, this was a good Idea. It also resulted in her winning a Grammy! ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmytimestep 2,444 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Let’s also not forget that she made a LOT of money on The Voice and I’m sure her catalogue still generates nice passive income. She’s likely invested shrewdly and wisely and doesn’t need to hustle for money. I truly don’t think the grind and pressure of being an MPG matters to her; she’s got the cash, loves her family; and after all the muck and hate the industry has dragged her through over the years, I don’t blame her. id admittedly like to see her Vegas show; she’s clearly still got the goods and always has. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
