CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS BIONIC
By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com
Aguilera, who’s never looked better in my opinion, appears in next month’s issue of Marie Claire. Christina dishes on BIONIC, her new album due out in March. The record in which I wrote about last year will feature collaborations with M.I.A., Santigold, Sia, & Goldfrapp as well as Dr. Luke, Switch, & Bravery frontman Sam Endicott (who worked with Shakira on “She Wolf”).
When asked about the sound of the record, Aguilera cited her son Max to be one of the album’s biggest influences stating that he encouraged her to have fun exploring her sound to create a futuristic vibe for the disc.
According to Marie Claire, the album’s tentative first single is a Tricky Stewart-produced track called GLAM.

Take a dose of Robyn and add that with the haunting aura of this visual reel for I BLAME COCO’s (AKA Sting’s daughter) Caesar, and you’ve got yourself a dark fire.
Check out the video for Caesar (single due out Jan. 24th in the UK), from I BLAME COCO ft. Robyn, below.
GET THE SKINNY ON AMERICAN IDOL

The song is obviously stained by The Fray’s touch and I can’t help but to find God scorched in the message of the song. Check out the melodramatic piano-driven rock track co-written by Joe King of The Fray, below.
Sorry for the past few posts being American Idol affiliated, but I’m tweeny-bopping out for the new season to start! The series premiere will air Tuesday, January 12th. The first three weeks of episodes will feature the always fun auditions along with guest judges including: Victoria Beckham (as seen below), Mary J. Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, Neil Patrick Harris, Joe Jonas, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Shania Twain.

THE OUTBREAK OF AVATAR

“I hope aliens are like the Na’vi. I really like them. They care about the things I’m passionate about – nature, the planet, the environment. This song required a powerful performance so I had to find an emotional connection. I found one to them.”
-Leona LewisI’m not gonna lie, initially I thought the creatures of Avatar looked freaky (almost as freaky as those goldfish with the bulging eyes). But after seeing the film, I can understand where Leona Lewis is going with this quote and I agree with the message the movie captured regarding environmental importance. The film was epic (yeah yeah, I hate the overuse of this word as much as you do but felt it was appropriate here). My only real criticism (as a friend pointed out first) was the horrible font used as subtitles within the film. That font was not epic at all. As a matter of fact, it totally messed with my chi.
Although Leona Lewis will soothe anyone’s chi (that sounds so wrong), I’m not going to post her singing the theme song because I’m not a big fan of the track. Instead I’ve opted to go with an interview with the film’s leading dude, Sam Worthington. You can check out the interview with Sky Movies, below.
