I only made it through five songs of Christina Aguilera’s new release, Bionic. It just got the point where I couldn’t listen anymore, even to make a proper review of it. First off, excepting Not Myself Tonight, the album’s first single, I couldn’t tell if Aguilera was even singing on these songs. I heard one of her trademark yodels during the Nicki Minaj-featured Woohoo but not any actual vocals. Elastic Love was worse. There was just no trace of Christina Aguilera anywhere. Whoever told her to stifle her gorgeous voice in favor of overdubs, bad mixes and shoddy melodies should be shot. I’m not saying she needs to record Back to Basics 2, but this is too little of what makes Aguilera shine. There was nothing sexy or fun about this album that I heard, and it’s obscenely long to suck that badly. I can’t even explain the track Desnudate, even how to pronounce it. The lack of melody, the lack pure vocals made this a stinker not even worth finishing.
