[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."

[NEWS] MADONNA LOVES WORKING OUT TO CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S MUSIC AMONG OTHERS


NYmag: What kind of playlists did you have this week?
Nicole Winhoffer: Right now we’re listening to a lot of old-school R&B, because the program that we’re doing has slower toning and a lower BPM [beats per minute]. So there’s some Missy Elliot, old Jay-Z, Frank Ocean, Chris Brown, Rihanna. Last week her workout had a higher BPM, so we were listening to a lot of remixes, like remixed Christina Aguilera and Britney songs. It just varies. Sometimes I play Rastafarian music and she’s like, “What is that?” [Laughs.] But it’s good to change it up, keep the imagination and brain working, and keep her body inspired.

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA REFOCUSES ON HER OWN VOICE IN 'LOTUS'

It’s been six years since Christina Aguilera made a record that would remind us why she was a perfect choice for a show called “The Voice.” For better and for worse, the NBC singing competition is what the former Mouseketeer is best known for now. Bubbling over with memorable melodies, throbbing dance grooves, and dynamic vocals, her new album, “Lotus,” is a good start in the effort to refocus attention on Aguilera’s skills and scrub our memories of 2010’s disastrous “Bionic.”

Aside from the hokey title track, it is front-loaded with goodies, including the Gloria Gaynor-meets-Depeche Mode dance of anger that is “Army of Me,” the kooky horn-and-yodel fest “Red Hot Kinda Love,” and the impossible-to-resist exhortation to “Make the World Move.” The piano ballad “Blank Page,” co-written by Aguilera, Australian singer-songwriter Sia, and Chris Braide, is among the best performances Aguilera has ever put to tape. Two of her fellow “Voice” coaches pitch in elsewhere, with Cee Lo Green helping turn up the love on “Make the World Move” and Blake Shelton helping turn down the lights on the country-inflected closer, “Just a Fool.”

There are missteps, including needless Auto-tune and a few of what sound like Rihanna or Katy Perry leftovers. And there are several tracks that sound mindlessly repetitive as sedentary listening experiences but will likely improve with the addition of a dancefloor, including the Max Martin-Shellback produced “Let There Be Love.” Welcome back, Xtina.

[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA OPENS UP ABOUT EMBRACING HER INNER 'BADGIRL' FOR 'YOUR BODY'



When Christina Aguilera started planning the video for her single "Your Body," she knew she wanted to work with Melina Matsoukas, who has cooked up eye-catching clips for Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. And, judging by a teaser for the clip, the twosome decided Aguilera was going to be a colorful vixen who robs convenience stores and blows up cars. No big deal.

"I worked with Melina Matsoukas on this video for 'Your Body,' who I was very drawn to because her work I saw in her other videos," Aguilera told MTV News about the clip, which is set to debut ahead of November's Lotus. "It looked like she really caught a character and drew it out of them and really had a story to tell. You know, not needing or wanting or using a lot of background dancers or gimmicks or things like that."

Once the two women met, all bets were off visually. Matsoukas was enlisted to capture the light-hearted side of the singer. "Once we started talking with each other and she heard 'Your Body,' she spun it in a way that you wouldn't expect at all," she said. "And I get to play this character that, yeah, she may be a little bit of a badass, she's very confident, self-assured, but she's super playful and super tongue-in-cheek. She laughs the whole way through the video. She's watching cartoons, and you know she doesn't take herself too seriously.

"I don't think I've ever done a video using so much color and freedom and fun," she added. "There's some unexpected twists and turns. There's cars blowing up, but it's really done in a very fun and playful, tongue-in-cheek way, in almost a comedic sense, if you will. And I had such fun playing that character."

Aguilera, however, isn't new to the bad-girl game. She's dabbled in the role several times, including her saucy turns in her videos for "Dirrty," "Fighter" and "Not Myself Tonight." But that's not all she is.

"The term bad girl should never be taken so seriously," she said. "It's definitely taken with a grain of salt, and I would never title myself as that. Maybe confident, self-assured, which is a message all women should take to heart and be themselves."

[NEWS] RIHANNA HINTS AT A POSSIBLE CHRISTINA AGUILERA COLLABORATION WITH CAKE?


If there's one thing Rihanna has shown us over the past couple of years (besides a fondness for the smell of, erm, "sex in the air"), it's that she isn't exactly against collaborating with other artists.

Now it seems Christina Aguilera is next on her list, after the 'You Da One' hit maker posted a series of tweets to her Twitter account suggesting a hook-up with the talent show judge will be released in the very near future.

Referencing a short track on her new album Talk That Talk that is expected to be re-released as a full-length song, she said: "Would y'all be mad if Birthday #CAKE became a single?

"Now here's the trick question! #IF I put collaborator on it, who would u wanna see lick the icing off????? #CAKE"

Appearing to reference one of Aguilera's most successful singles, she teased: "I need somebody #DIRRRTY on my Birthday #CAKE ;) lol"

Would you like to see Christina and RiRi join forces?

[NEWS] CHRISTINA'S RAUNCY X FACTOR NUMBER FORCES SIMON COWELL TO TONE DOWN THE SHOW

[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]

X Factor boss Simon Cowell said the show will be toned "down a bit" after last year's finale sparked thousands of complaints.

Pre-watershed scenes featuring Christina Aguilera and her backing dancers in a racy routine saw 2868 complaints made to media regulator Ofcom.

The singer donned a short black dress while her female dancers, who were bent over chairs, wore suspenders, bra tops, fishnet stockings and basques in the raunchy routine.

Cowell said he had listened to public opinion, adding: "I think based on the reaction we'd have to tone it down a bit."

He said he was pleased with the new judging panel on the show and described Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland as "genius" and said for it to continue being a success "you can't keep doing things the same year after year after year".

Cowell said he does not think he has "fallen out" with Cheryl Cole but admitted he had only had a couple of texts from her since she was dropped as a judge on the US version of The X Factor.

He said viewers will see her in the first episode which was recorded before she left the series when she was replaced with former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger only three weeks after starting the job.

Cowell said: "I thought she would work better in England, nothing more than that, you will see her in the first episode but she doesn't look as comfortable on the American show as she does in the English show."

He said he offered her a role on the UK version of the show and a return to the US version but she turned both down, having also turned down an earlier opportunity to appear on the panel of Britain's Got Talent.

"She was offered BGT before X Factor and she basically had cold feet. She said yes and with two days to go she said this isn't for me," he said.

Cowell, who said he had been "incredibly close" to the Girls Aloud star at one time, added: "I don't think we've fallen out, at least I don't think so."

[RUMOR] CHRISTINA MAY BE A PART OF A VIDEO MONTAGE FOR BRITNEY SPEARS VMA TRIBUTE

“00:20: Intro Video (ft. Inside Out/Mickey Mouse Club Theme)
01:10: …Baby One More Time (Selena Gomez)
00:55: I’m A Slave 4 U (Miley Cyrus)
00:45: Toxic (Demi Lovato)
01:00: 3 (Selena/Miley/Demi)
01:15: Hold It Against Me (Katy Perry/Rihanna)
00:25: Till The World Ends-Rap Verse (Nicki Minaj)
00:15: Till The World Ends-Acapella (Britney Spears)
02:35: (Drop Dead) Beautiful (Britney Spears ft. Sabi)
The entire production will run 8 minutes, and will open the show. The introductory video will be eerie, and will feature a home video of a six year old Britney Spears playing with Barbies. This will lead into Selena Gomez singing “…Baby” in a signature school girl outfit. Followed by Miley Cyrus, whispering “…I know I may be young…” with a snake draped around her neck. Then, Demi Lovato enters rises from the center of the stage with a sequined costume on. As Demi’s song ends, all girls strut to left stage, put on Mickey Mouse ears and sing “3″ in a manner that will surely have people talking the next day. (Hint..Hint…think 2003) As their shocking performance ends, lights fade up on Katy Perry who is soon joined by Rihanna in singing “Hold It Against Me”. As their song ends, Nicki Minaj comes from the back of the audience wearing a ringleader outfit and singing her “World Ends” verse. As she finishes, all eyes shift to Britney who performs her song with Sabi. (Details of this will be available later)

Before Video of the Year is presented, there will be a video montage of Britney videos with excerpts of stars thanking Britney for her contributions to music including: Miley Cyrus (confirmed), Lady Gaga (confirmed), Justin Timberlake (unconfirmed), Selena Gomez (confirmed), Joe Jonas (confirmed), Will.I.Am (unconfirmed), and Christina Aguilera (unconfirmed). As the video ends, Madonna enters the stage, makes a brief statement and presents Britney the Lifetime Achievement Award.”

[NEWS] 'ONLY CHRISTINA AGUILERA HAS UNDERSTOOD WHAT MADONNA'S GAME IS ABOUT...'

Through music history we have seen, fortunately, all kind of artists and singers doing their thing. Female singers have paid the price of gender inequality. Still, it never mattered at all for people like Tracy Chapman, Sinéad O'Connor or Tori Amos: all of them are brave, valuable, talented women never afraid to speak their minds.

But when it comes to sex, people have the weirdest reactions, thoughts and feelings. If you put together sex and music the thing gets hotter. Well, "hotter" if you are a man. For women it just gets harder and harder, no pun intended.

Just ask Madonna: she has taken all kind of insults, derogatory terms and even death threats only for being sexual and herself at the same time. She did use sex a lot as a form of marketing. But according to all her detractors who claimed she just "sells sex" and nothing else, her career would have ended as soon as 1994 arrived. Right?

But Ciccone evolved from being the 'sexiest' pop star to the most influential and successful woman in show biz history. Too much to say. But albums like "Ray of Light", "Like a Prayer", "True Blue", "Music" or "Confessions on a Dance Floor" speak volumes about her artistry and points of view as a woman. Nevertheless, controversy has never been away from her. Do you remember The Confessions Tour's Live To Tell on-stage performance?

There's something "bad" about queen of pop's legacy though not entirely her fault: She made believe to a whole new generation of pop stars that, by taking your clothes off and acting sexy all around you can be the greatest music star. It has worked for many: just take a look at Britney Spears, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera and even the talentless I-can't-sing-a-single-note Katy Perry.

But just a few of all these women, let's say only Christina, have understood what Madonna's game was about: it's a lot easier to show off your naked body on a video or onstage than producing an album like Ray of Light. In other words, sex was only a part of Madonna's media attack.

Samantha Fox was very sexy too, so was Sabrina Salerno or Apollonia Kotero. They showed some skin too. But none of them were able to get people questioning about themselves, life and art like Madge has. Many of her detractors have not listened to masterpieces like "Promise To Try", "Live To Tell", "X-Static Process" or "Nothing Fails". But again, does it really matter what they think?

Only time will tell who of all these new young stars stays and who disappears. And in the middle of this media fever of sexy starlets, Madonna can only smile and think... "I'm pretty much up there with Aretha, Tina, Barbra and Janis... now dare to dream!"

[PHOTO] THE SEVEN VILLAINS OF POP

The harvest of the human seed, the Earth is a corpse field, collected on the wagons, catapulted into mass graces. Foul air corrodes the skin. The trumpets sound the alarm of the overwhelming onslaught.

Deep gaps do open, devouring the dead. Horribly distorted faces leaking decay. No conflict resolution, no bond to fix the fault lines. Take the breath from the Earth. And again and again the clouds will come. Split the sky, consume the drowning horizon.

Fire red as it flashes, but does not thunder. Embrace the hour of devastation. Bringer of war. Take the breath from the Earth. Bringer of war. Take the breath from the Earth. There will never be peace. We will never be safe again.

No conflict resolution, no bond to fix the fault lines. Take the breath from the Earth. No history to tell, no legacy to leave behind, no future generation. Take the breath from the Earth.

Funeral for a failing race. A mass of graves where the soil bleeds. reborn from the rotted caskets. This is the harvest of the human seed. The Earth is a corpse field.

THE EARTH MUST COME TO AN END.
