You only say it won't work because of what's currently Popular on radio, but obviously that sound doesn't work either since "NMT" bombed. "YLM" could work. It'd get major support from stations like AC/Hot AC, etc. And would automatically get Pop airplay because she's Christina. How far it would go on Pop is another question, but it would do something.

I still don't like the chorus of "Bionic", everything else is amazing. 
If they release "Lift Me Up"  |
Well releasing a song about her vagina or getting naked will turn people off because they're very sexual and she is going over board with that this era. (GQ Cover)

No. She needs a ballad. People don't want the forced pop/dance sound. "NMT" & "WooHoo" are flops. "Desnudate" isn't friendly enough, "Vanity" is too much, "Prima Donna" lost it's chances.
And, "Bionic" doesn't need to be one either. It only charted high because her fans were buying it. The general public don't give a **** about it, it's not even in the Top 200 anymore of iTunes. It'll do worse than "NMT".
Best bet is "You Lost Me". At least it's closest to "typical Christina", and it's the best risk at the moment.

They will kill her career, literally, if they release "Lift Me Up" and I really hope that doesn't happen. 
"I Am" could do good IMO, since it's not a typical ballad, but I guess "You Lost Me" might work since it's probably the closest to her "old" sound.

"NMT" sounds straight from 2006, no hook, and it is hard to sing along to.

OMG I can't listen to "Lift Me Up" anymore, it's so overproduced.

[noshade] Yeah, I think she's going too far with this era and people obviously aren't buying it. 
Maybe they think that someone with her vocal abilities doesn't need to do that and they consider her a sell out, kinda like they did Mariah at one point. [/noshade]

True. But a production doesn't change what it was shooting for.

"LMU" sucks so bad. I prefer the Haiit version. It should've had a "Stripped" version instead of "I Am". I personally love "I Am" and would love for it's release, but I don't see them doing it.

It's just boring to me. 
And most people say it's the best song on the album.  Yeah, it's inspirational, but come on.

Probably one of the factors of why she flopped.
Mariah didn't go overboard but she was 39.

The stripped version 
Yeah, I don't see them doing that as well, I think they would even release "All I Need" over that.
"I Am" is gonna be like "Impossible" on "Stripped", the best ballad on the album doesn't get released.

I'm in a love-hate relationship with Christina. 
I love her music, hate her personality. 
And I honestly thought "Bionic" would suck, and I was surprised it didn't. One of my favorite albums of the year.

Seriously, I just don't give a **** for what they choose. I just want something.

Thanks.  It's a rare cap from the set of "For The Record" documentary in 2008.
