Honest question... Were you even payin attention to Xtina during her Stripped days?
That girl was a hot ass mess lol.. Pure sex, skanky, ****ty, just dirrty in general.
She was tamed during Bionic..
Stripd had a theme, she stuck to it of course I expected it to be raw but the writing on Stripped was far superior to Bionic. Songwriting is key. Its just as important as the beat and melody. If I dont like what you singing im not listening .. nor will I buy it.
Bionic was such quality. It did get submitted to the Grammys for AOTY, after all.
Bionic was all over the place which is why it underperformed. There were a few good songs that came as a result, but as a whole the album was very erratic.
Woohoo, You Lost Me, All I Need, Bionic, and Prima Donna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I generally liked Bionic.... As quick as everyone is to say it underperformed because it was "all over the place," I doubt that's the only major reason. Perhaps it was just due to the fact that it'd been some time and not enough people were checking for Xtina like they used to... Just because we, on this forum, keep up with music releases, etc. doesn't mean the general public does the same.
