[NEWS] SINGER ALOE BLACC EYES CHRISTINA AGUILERA, RIHANNA COLLBORATIONS

Fuse:

Soul singer Aloe Blacc has already teamed up with big-time producers like Avicii (on their smash collabo "Wake Me Up") and Pharrell (who produced Blacc's "Love Is the Answer"). While prepping for his 13th showcase at SXSW 2014, the Southern California says he's hustling to work with two famous divas next. 

"Recently, I did The Voice and that night I had the chance to briefly speak with Christina Aguilera," he tells Fuse host Esteban Serrano. "I'm interested in working with her, that would be cool."  

Meanwhile, "The Man" singer is using industry connections to link up with Rihanna. He adds, "I was in Paris talking to some of Rihanna's managers. Maybe I'll get a chance to maybe write a song for her, maybe sing with her. We'll see. I'm not going to make any promises, but it'd be really nice to do something like that."

[VIDEO] FUSE'S TOP 40 MUSIC VIDEOS OF 2012 - CHRISTINA AGUILERA WINS IT ALL

It turns out that all our hard work has paid off, Christina Aguilera's video for her extremely fun 1st single off her amazingly POP-tacular album "Lotus" has been named Fuse's #1 Video of 2012.

I'm not a bit surprised are you?

We took out the lights of 1Direction, Katy Perry, Rihanna, and countless other heavy hitters. It turns out we aren't as weak as some would expect coming from a fan base that isn't as big as most.

[NEWS] IS CHRISTINA AGUILERA GONNA K.O. KATY PERRY IN FUSE'S TOP 40 OF 2012 POLL?

With Round 1 of voting coming to a close, it's looking like Christina Aguilera is going to slam Katy Perry in a tight race toward the Best Video of 2012. At least that's according to the fans, who are voting her glittertastic, man-murdering "Your Body" video ahead of Perry's Army Strong "Part of Me" clip.

If Aguilera wins, that means Katy is no longer a contender for the Best Video of 2012. California Girls: They're no match for former Mouseketeers. (Unless Katycats make "Part of Me" one of the four top-voted losing videos: Then Perry will return with vengeance as a Wild Card pick in Round 3.)

Xtina fans have gotta be happy about this. After a bit of a misstep with Bionic and Burlesque, it looks like "Your Body" and the upcoming Lotus album are poised to take The Voice coach back to a place in the pop culture pantheon just as high as her soaring pipes.

But does Aguilera's victory over Perry surprise you? After all, Katy Perry did score a whopping nine No. 1 singles in the last four years, compared to Christina's one No. 1 (the Maroon 5 collabo "Moves Like Jagger).

Do you think "Your Body" gets a boost because it's fresh, shiny and new, whereas "Wide Awake" is a more distant music video memory? Or "Your Body" just a much cooler video? Tell us what you think in the comments below, and be sure to give your vote for the Top 40 of 2012 before we move along to Round 2 on Monday afternoon!
