Christina Aguilera - Not Myself Tonight
Christina Aguilera is a naughty, naughty girl in her new single, “Not Myself Tonight,” the first track to be released from her forthcoming fourth studio album, Bionic.
The up-tempo Polow Da Don-produced track finds Xtina seductively cooing about losing her inhibitions at a nightclub where she’s taking shots, kissing boys and girls, and just not giving a f***.
But along with losing her inhibitions in the song, Christina seems to have lost herself musically. “Not Myself Tonight” will undoubtedly work in the clubs where the names and voices of the artists “singing” make no difference as long as the beat is danceable, but for an artist with a voice like Christina’s — quite possibly one of the best voices of our generation — it does nothing to showcase her as a vocalist and it’s a step in the wrong direction. A direction where she feels she has to compete with artists like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga who do dance music well.
Here’s hoping Bionic isn’t bogged down with “Not Myself Tonight” sound-alikes, and judging from the interviews Christina has given about the album, it won’t be. Thank goodness.
This post is DUMB!! The world already knows she can BLOW/SING! If you weren’t listening… we can still hear her vocals in this AMAZING SONG!! WELCOME BACK LegendTina!!! Your real fans love it…. I heard it 20 times already!!
I agree with BionicFan….its a fun, club bangger song. We all know XTina can sing…doesnt mean she needs to do ballads all the time….We needed a dance hit from XTina….This Song Is Fun and Great!
i love the song
i love the concept
christina rules!!!!!
LOVE THE SONG ITS CATCHY but its not that she competes with bspears or lady its that every one is always comparing them and like you said Christina’s — quite possibly one of the best voices of our generation.But not many people have the ear to hear whats good and dont give her much credit for what she is able to do.I love xtina and I like gaga just wish they could stop comparing them.
Totally agree….”Dirty” didn’t really showcase her voice that much either (or “Genie”) – but they are still great songs. This song is fun and cool (and going on my ipod ASAP so I can workout to it!!!) – can’t wait for the album in June
I agree. The post is dumb. This is why Christina puts out music. Ya’ll act like people don’t have different facets to them. Keep living in the dark ages. I will see Not Myself Tonight on the dance floor.
all i can say wow its the best song out right now better than anything on the radio right now ive listened and still listening to it.
Oh come on! the song is fun, I love it personally you’re being to harsh on xtina. Back in her stripped days dirrty was also very club banger and about having fun but that didn’t mean stripped was about dirrty and this is not different. Overall I’m with the others this post is dumb.
She’s about 2 years too late to do this. Sounds like a reject Blackout tune. Sad, since I wanted to like it.
shes not too late its just the begining…plus everybody is doing dance music your just mad at the fact that she is doing dance music
Agreed. She needs to stick to Jazz/Blues/music for old people. Her voice is not made to compete with real Pop artists. She will flop.
she sings better dance music then jazz music… why dont your ass sing.. ur ass will flop
There’s always a few haters in the bunch.. someone show “Jill” and The other loser the way out….
LoL!! Poor second rate b!tch! that was absolutely horrible…why is she even trying
ur just jealous…and ur horrible dont be mad that she is getting somewhere.. ur a poor second rate critic
As others have said.. this post is REALLY dumb!
I mean, Christina has gotten sooooo much flack from reviewers for always showing off her powerful voice we ALL know she has and now that she’s toning it down a tad you’re gonna come with your crappy comments like that? I’ve just lost some respect for this damn site!
Traaaaaaaaaaaaaash
“The old me’s gone, I feel brand new, and if you don’t like it, f**k you.”
i still love christina….its your opinion
Haters back off.
If you dont like f!ck u!
If you dont like it why go here.
I bet your addicted with the song either.
LOL. Haters to the left.
i don’t understand why these haters waste their time posting these negative comments. if you hate her or don’t care about her at all, you shouldn’t have bothered checking this link. well maybe you are just threated by this big news that maybe your so-called “idols” (not stating any untalented artist out there)be beaten by a very talented artist like christina. and as a defense machanism you do all these bullshit here. sorry guys, jealousy is a sign of insecurity. get a life haters.
cheap !
Stop hating on Xtina…its a enough!…shes a true talent she can actually SING her ass off…she deserves respect! She sould be the one having all the number ones and the glory not Lady Gaga for god’s sake. Love the song. All I have to say is that Xtina is back! 2010 is her year :D
In this album expect the following: she’ll be screaming her head off, copycat other artists, whore herself up, try to be controversial. You lots have to admit this girl pimps herself too much. She’s always over-the-top with what she does.
we are sick of non-singers trying to sing. I am glad christina is showing a different side of her voice. It’s soft and powerful. It shows her versatility. I love this song and people always hate on talent yet the world is in love with Taylor Swift and Justin Beiber. Give me a break. Most of the world is filled with idiots, so guess that’s why they like such terrible music. Appreciate real talent where it stands and stop judging it. Her voice sounds great in this song, as it always does. Isn’t that the important part.
Really great song! I’m waiting for the whole album!
Coolest song of last week!
Ok, I really think that Christina goes far by performing this coolest single we heard never before!
