Cinemablend predicts 64% for "Burlesque" on Rotten Tomatoes! 
Quote:
Friends and loved ones of mine know certain truths about the Dougster. I am obsessed with sports but can't stand hockey. Want to get places fast, but despise flying. And I love music but f#$%ing hate musicals. Like cannot stand them, try to mute them on the first note, cringe when characters start singing and generally think they're stupid. So, no, Burlesque isn't on my "must watch" list.
*** Rotten Week Fun Fact: I almost fist fought my best friend because I refused to see Moulin Rouge on account of all the singing. Needless to say, I don't run with a tough crowd.
There are more than a few things about Burlesque that make the whole affair just a little crazy. Christina Aguilera shrieks her way on to the big screen in her first lead. Cher isn't dead yet (even if she looks it). And director Steve Antin has a short, but unbelievably fascinating career bio you can read right here. I can't even imagine what being on the set was like.
This movie is campy and scoring camp movies isn't easy. Will critics get it? Will they think the whole venture is a waste of time? I never get these right. See: Piranhas: 3D. The Rotten Watch for Burlesque is 64%.

As long as it's fresh, 64% would be great.

I'm worried you guys. I really want this to be #1, but with HP7 pt. 1 in it's second week, Tangled (animated Disney movie that's gonna have an extra day on Burlesque of sales because it opens the day before it) and that Will F. animated movie will make it that much more difficult.

Tangled comes out the same day I believe and it also has Love & Other Drugs to compete with as well

Don't worry. 
It's going to be tough but they are aimed at different audiences.

Burlesque won't be #1.
But it doesn't really matter, what matters is how much it makes.

Oh, we knew all along that there were no chances of Burlesque getting that #1 spot. The 'competition' is too strong. But here, positions don't really matter, as long as the box office numbers are good. I don't wanna jinx this, but things are looking very good so far and it's very possible that the movie will open with 20+ million dollars. If that happens, it's already a success. But of course, everything depends on longevity and how the general audience will react to the movie. But it seems that people are really enjoying Burlesque so everything's looking quite promising

Christina Aguilera Struts Through 'Express (Burlesque)' At AMAs
Xtina gives a glimpse inside her upcoming big-screen debut, at the American Music Awards.
Before she even took the stage at the American Music Awards on Sunday night (November 21), Christina Aguilera had already watched a series of over-the-top performances from show-opener Rihanna, an uncharacteristically sedate Miley Cyrus, the always outrageous Katy Perry and a piano-tinkling, snow-shower summoning Taylor Swift.
In other words, she saw the future, and it was a cornucopia of female stars who have taken cues from her career -- and she made sure to show them that she's still got a few tricks up her sleeve.
Preparing to make her big-screen debut alongside Cher in the upcoming "Burlesque," as promised, Aguilera gave a sneak peek at what we can expect in theaters. "It's going to be fantastic," she told MTV News. "And it will give you a fitting little look inside the movie."
Seated in a chair with her back to the audience and wearing a black spangly bodysuit, knee-high boots and a bowler, Aguilera snapped her fingers and leaned into the jazzy, skittery rhythms of the new tune "Express (Burlesque)." As the camera pulled out, it revealed a set made up to mimic the backstage at a burlesque club, with Aguilera surrounded by a squadron of equally scantily clad dancers.
She flashed back to the "Dirrty"-era Xtina, straddling and shimmying on the chair, then busting into the song's uptempo chorus and showing off the throaty pipes that made her a star. Shaking her hair along with her lingerie-clad dancers, the singer was clearly back in her element, mixing club beats with a throwback, "Free Your Mind"-style R&B vibe and strutting across the stage confidently with her patented growly sass intact.
Even after a career spent in the spotlight as a child star on the "Mickey Mouse Club" and a pop icon since her late teens, Aguilera said the difficulty of trying to reproduce the dancing in the film for the AMAs took a toll on her. "It will be another very new challenge for me," Aguilera admitted beforehand. "My legs have been incredibly sore as I stepped into the role of Ali for this." In the film, Aguilera plays a small-town girl with big dreams who stumbles on a burlesque club owned by the feisty Tess (Cher).
Aguilera added that, while relearning the dance routines was grueling, the choreography is amazing. "You're going to get quite the show," she promised. "Quite the spectacle."
While Aguilera is new to the world of acting, Cher told MTV News that the pop star can dish it out with the best of them. "The scenes that she and I had together, I really enjoyed, and I really believe that she's got definite chops," she said. "We worked well together. I enjoyed all of it, and she was toe-to-toe with me the whole time."
What did you think of Christina's performance at the AMAs? Share your reviews in the comments!
