Critics Slam Christina Aguilera’s New Album Bionic! Do You Agree Or Disagree With The Critics?

Christina Aguilera’s new album “Bionic” will be released tomorrow. However, Christina  should avoid reading the reviews of her album because the world media have slammed Bionic. The consensus is,  the critics believe Bionic is not a cohesive album and Christina spreads herself all over the place.

Is anyone surprised that most of the negative reviews of Bionic are written by male writers?

Some men seem to be fearful of a woman expressing her sexuality. What is wrong with a twenty nine year old woman declaring that she loves sex? I don’t see a problem here!

I don’t think Christina is being desperate or trying to copy Lady Gaga either. Christina is a confident woman and an incredible singer.  Lady Gaga is hot because she is new but Christina has been in the music business for over a decade. Why are the reviews of Bionic so cruel and mean spirited?

Some of the reviews are extremely misogynist.

For instance, one male reviewer Andy Gill he writes for the  UK newspaper the Independent  and he says:

“However, this apparent diversity simply disguises her lack of any original approach. Much of the album is taken up with the kind of android-themed electro-R&B schtick that was done to death years ago by Janet Jackson and more recently by Britney Spears: cue robotic beats, cyborg vocals and the like, combined with Aguilera’s tawdry super-slut persona in tracks like “Sex for Breakfast”, “Desnudate” and “Woohoo”, the latter a pet name for her privates.”

Christina Aguilera is twenty nine years old! Does Andy Gill live in a time warp? It isn’t 1999 anymore it is the year 2010! Christina is a grown ass woman and if she wants to sing about sex I say good for her! Why is there this double standard when women express their sexuality?

My favourite song is “Elastic Love” this song is a  collaboration with British singer M.I.A.

One ballad I love  is the sensual “sex for breakfast” this song is very sexy.

The intro “morning dessert” to bionic is very clever and erotic.

Here is a sample of some of the negativity.

The Wall Street Journal says :

“The 29-year-old singer seems intent on proving to fans and foes alike that she’s still got it. But first she has to figure out just what “it” is. Is she an old-school song stylist, an avant garde dance diva, or some mix of both?”

Brad Wheeler is not impressed with Bionic he writes for the  the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail.

“Oh, please. Glam is straight from the pages of Madonna, and Bionic uses the rigidly grooved style of Lady Gaga and the aforementioned M.I.A.”

The British music magazine New Music Express slams Bionic as well.

“Neither is the endless sexytalk convincing anymore. Where Madonna and Gaga use sex as a weapon, they also employ a humour that’s lacking on songs such as ‘Woowoo’ and ‘Des Nudites’. Bionic? It’s as if the mighty Xtina has been reanimated as a slightly confused cyborg with levers and LEDs where the leather chaps used to be.”

However, not all the news about Bionic is negative. The Houston Chronicle praises Christina Aguilera.

“Aguilera is best when she’s not trying to maneuver around so many ideas. She nails the dreamy, pillow-talk vibe of Sex for Breakfast; and Lift Me Up the requisite Linda Perry ballad, is accented with interesting electronic twitches.”
