【Billboard】见识阿侏25分Chicago Tribune Review.(其实很温柔) For the last decade, Christina Aguilera’s career has been as much or more about marketing as it has been about singing. It’s a shame, because as pop-machine creations go, Aguilera has genuine chops as vocalist, and far greater upside than just about any of her peers in the late-‘90s teen-pop invasion.    十年以来,阿侏的演唱生涯似乎平衡了市场运作和唱歌,甚至更多的关于商业.不得不说这是个遗憾,因为当流行机器创作品层出不穷时,阿侏享有她作为一位实力派唱将货真价实的“金牌匾”,这要远远凌驾于很多同在90年出道的teen-pop竞争对手的进军. On her 1999 self-titled debut album, she distinguished herself from the Britney/Backstreet Boys pack with a rangy voice that belied her youth (plus, “Genie in a Bottle” was a fetching single). After that, her career has taken a series of curious turns. Her albums have moments that live up to her promise, but are weighed down by ill-advised concepts, garish over-singing and off-putting celebrations of self (or even more off-putting complaints about just how tough it is to be Xtina). 在她1999同名专辑中,她那隐藏了实际年龄的高音让她与布兰妮、后街男孩显得十分不同(需要指出的是,“瓶中侏儒”是一首非常抓耳的单曲).从这之后,她的事业开始呈现出一些奇怪的转变.她的专辑开始变得遵循自我的想法,但被一些糟糕的概念、华丽低俗的炫技还有让人厌烦的自我吹捧降低了质量(或者是一些烦人的关于成为侏儒是多么困难的抱怨). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 勿插...
【Billboard】[News]阿侏姑娘究极体进化---生化侏. To be sure, "Bionic" comes loaded with the requisite number of radio-bait hooks, not to mention a handful of stately ballads destined to appeal to fans of the singer's 2002 smash, "Beautiful." (That single's parent album, "Stripped," has sold more than 4.2 million copies, while Aguilera's 1999 self-titled debut has sold nearly 8.2 million.) Yet with its grinding synth scapes and throbbing dance-punk grooves, "Bionic" also serves as a characteristically bold artistic statement from one of pop's least apprehensive superstars. As Aguilera puts it in "Not Myself Tonight," the album's lead single, "I feel brand new/And if you don't like it, f--- you." 'NOTHING TO PROVE' "There's some rebellion to it," Aguilera said with a laugh, curled up in an armchair at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills a few weeks before the "Storytellers" taping. The singer, 29, had just finished a day of on-camera interviews, and at long last the heels came off and the hair came down. "But there's no proving element to me," she was quick to add. "At this point in my career, I'm over any and all weird comparisons or negativity." Much of the early online reaction to "Not Myself Tonight" (and its racy, S&M-inspired video) wondered whether Aguilera was feeling the need to play catch-up with Lady Gaga, who's more or less come to dominate the dance-diva space in the years since "Back to Basics." "In these post-Gaga times," a post on New York magazine's Vulture blog asked, "can Aguilera carve out her piece of the pop-star pie?" "I'm in it for the long haul, and a decade later in my career, I have nothing to prove," Aguilera said. "To anyone who wants to be negative, it's like, 'I'm obviously relevant enough to you for you to care and to talk and to evoke negative feelings inside of you.'" The singer said the new album is an expression of her femininity in all its forms: wife, mother, singer, actress. (After marrying Jordan Bratman nearly five years ago, Aguilera gave birth to the couple's first son, Max, in 2008.) "'Bionic' to me is the definition of the superhuman abilities we as women have in everyday life," she said, adding that the outre spirit of much of the music is a reaction to "feeling stifled" by the supposed exclusivity of any of those roles. "I've grown and changed, and I've learned so much. I've never felt more confident, more secure, more sexy in my life than I do now." CREATIVE ENERGY There's no doubting that change: From an early stint on "The All New Mickey Mouse Club" (alongside Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake) to the boy-crazy bubble gum of "Genie in a Bottle" to the supremely raunchy "Dirrty" to the Andrews Sisters homage "Candyman," Aguilera's career has been a study in contrasts. "There's two things you need to know about Christina Aguilera," said Polow Da Don, whose credits on the album include "Not Myself Tonight" and an especially spirited number called "I Hate Boys." "The first is that, as far as her singing goes, she's a professionally trained animal. And the other is that she knows exactly, absolutely what she wants."
【Billboard】2010美偶创下02以来最低收视率. "American Idol" finale lowest audience since 2002 Thu, May 27 2010 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The "American Idol" finale drew its lowest audience since 2002 as an estimated 24.2 million viewers tuned in to watch Lee DeWyze beat Crystal Bowersox, according to preliminary ratings figures on Thursday. The audience for the ninth season finale on the Fox network on Wednesday shrank from 28.8 million last year and 31.6 million in 2008. Only the first season of "American Idol", in the summer of 2002, drew a smaller audience with 22.8 million. "American Idol" has retained its crown as America's most-watched show for the seventh consecutive year. But audiences fell by about 9 percent this season and the TV singing competition on Wednesday lost one of its biggest attractions with the exit of British judge Simon Cowell. Fox, a unit of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, has yet to announce a replacement for Cowell, who is launching a U.S. version of his own "The X-Factor" talent show on Fox in the fall of 2011. Wednesday's finale was the climax of what TV critics have deemed a lackluster season, with the "Idol" format showing its age and disappointment over the addition of Ellen DeGeneres to the judging panel.
