After a four-year hiatus, Christina—or “Xtina”—is back with 18 tracks that find the artist straddling the line between Lady Gaga and Regina Spektor, with a smattering of the overindulgent schmaltz that has become synonymous with the majority of the post-Mickey Mouse Club cohort of female pop singers. Despite giving birth to a son, Max (whose pictures she unabashedly sold to People for a reported 1.5 million big ones), Christina shows no signs here that family life has made her any less prone to fits of flagrant sexual exhibitionism.
What to do. What to do. What to do. You’re a former Pop Princess, a Mother and Wife; you’ve successfully reinvented yourself twice over. Then a new pretender enters the scene. A Lady whose knack for stylised provocation matches her insane vocal abilities. She’s blonde, ahead of the game and overtly Gaga. Her whole show renders your contribution to Pop Culture obsolete.
Bionic foi um disco muito polêmico lançado por Xtina no ano 2010, quatro anos após o bem sucedido Back To Basics.
Xtina decidiu abraçar o eletropop de uma forma muito autêntica e bem feita.
Esse disco merecia muito mais do que recebeu, porque diferente do Lotus que é uma piada e mereceu flopar, o Bionic é um disco super interessante.
O disco possui dois lados, um mais energético e eletrônico, e outro mais orgânico com baladas.

Christina Aguilera's 4th Album 'Bionic'
Where Back to Basics rose to the ambitious challenge it aimed for Bionic stumbles at the execution overall. The upbeat tracks are memorable and playful however the ballads feel very out of place even if they are actually also album highlights. This is one of those albums that really needed some considered editing to create a shorter and more impactful album.
Top 5 Highlights:
Bionic, Not Myself Tonight, Glam, Lift Me Up and You Lost Me
the ballads make sense in trying to conciliate the idea of the bionic.
it's not an entirely robotic being. it's more akin to a cyborg. someone enhanced with cogs and machinery, but who remains human at their core. we see it in the way the artwork is approached: half the face exacerbated with busy machinations, most notorious in the throat, where we see something resembling a voice box like the ones featured in the cinematic masterpiece robots (2005). but also another half being a human face, ... read more
