The sad thing about Xtina is that I don't know what her trademark sound is, since she's always switching up her image. So I can't even say she should do this or that.. 'cause IDK what's safe... an entire album of ballads?
Yes, Christina sold a lot of albums in the late '90s and early '00s. Kudos to her, I mean it. But that was an amazing time for album sales.
Times are different and now EVERYONE (Gaga included) has trouble hitting those big sales. Bionic's dismal sales are a prime example of why Christina's stans shouldn't belittle artists who debuted during this difficult period for music. As evidenced by Bionic's performance, it ain't easy selling albums in 2010.

Maybe not, that would flop too.
If she had to stick to one sound and maybe deviate from that a little bit, it would be the R&B/BTB sound. She has a voice perfectly suited for R&B and she needs to delve deeper in that. I'm tired of this chameleon gimmick that she feels she needs to do with every album.

The irony of you saying that as a Riri stan, all of her albums sound different too.

True.
Admittedly, "Sex For Breakfast" is one of the better R&B songs recorded this year.

Oh I agree, but then again, some other people shouldn't say she's over or try to downgrade the success she's had just because of this... her *first* flop.
But once again, this turned into a stan war... it's useless..

While Rihanna's albums all sound different they all contain similar elements.
Christina goes from cute to dirrty to classis to sex.
Rihanna went from R&B/Reggae to R&B/Pop to Pop/R&B to R&B/Pop/Hip-Hop/Dub Step to what we're assuming is Pop/R&B now.

I don't think she's over either. The biggest mistake you can make is underestimate someone. TBH I think Christina did that a lot to her peers and to newcomers. You should never underestimate anyone.
This thread Is A Mess
One People Start With a Flamebait and Then the Stans Start a Stan wars, and It's just because a Old Thing that she said a WHILE ago
But if it's true, Thank Good, It was In Time to Move On In a New Album (But i Wanted I Am for Single so bad )
She did nothing creatively. I was so disapointed. The material was good and had some potential. I thought that imagery was going to be futuristic, creative, and unique but she just sold sex and did nothing Bionic except the cover. The performances were decent but we didn't really get a true Bionic performance that held the creativity that I thought she was going to put into this.

You're right... and maybe that's what happened, I don't know...
But she'll come back and with success, I'm sure . (I really hope so )
But I'm loving the music she's releasing and that's what matters.

I'm a stan, but i totally Agree With You, I was Expecting a Bionic Thing, not a Eletronic, dance and Sex Thing
I Hope She do Another B2B or even a rock album
