Lotus represented withstanding harsh conditions, well...how can ANY flower withstand its conditions when the root has been plucked out from the Earth?

Clocking teas left and right.
I think this will match Bionic sales but mainly due to the sales boost over the next two months.
It's a shame because I feel like if xtina was humble and was clever then she would have given Britney (pop), Beyonce ("r&B" ch...), Pink (pop/rock) and Shakira (latin pop) some stiff competition. Instead, she just expected them to die down and her talent would remain. That and her attitude of dissing her rivals and thinking too highly of herself really messed things up for her.
Too long breaks was the least of her problems. If people don't like your personality then they need to at least relate to you. She tried to be a collage of Whitney strength, Mariah vocals and Madonna's reinvention; however, she completely isolated and disinfrancised (sp.) her audience going from teen princess that could sing to raunchy dirrty girl to throwback to "futuristic" to whatever she is supposed to be now.
When I heard her growl I went back to 2000 where Billy Joel warned xtina about preserving her voice and managing the vocal gymnastics...now i see why. It's a shame when she has such a vocal gift yet people would rather hear Beyonce (who is technically exceptional but not nearly as gifted), Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Adele etc. when she is supposed to be the voice of someone's generation.
Anyways...hopefully she can push for gold with this one.
