All those bonus tracks, rarities and b-sides that we have listed in another thread would be an amazing album. http://www.christinaaguilera.com/us/node/43018

Anything that is less than a full release will create demand for the full songs anyway. And I suppose they are not released because that will take extra work on the songs anyway and artists don't like to revisit old material usually.

why dont they just little by little make those unreleased songs as side b tracks in single releases? or make a mixtape of everything... i think this mixtape would sell like pancakes. or just release them thru itunes...

I don't like remixes either. If ain't broke don't fix it. Remix cd's always seem to me like a cheap and transparent cash-grab.

Is good to Xtina to release Bionic: The Remix like Beyonce did with 4?

chance wasted

well there are certain things that go deeper if you look at Christina and her connection to Itunes. I don't know the complete details of their business coupling, but I am certain that for a small segment of her stuff they had 'exclusive' rights to. Little Dreamer possibly being one of those 'exclusives'.

Well you know you can just buy the song, you don't have to buy the whole cd.

Yeah, I suppose having an LQ leak is just as bad, isn't it! I didn't mean the previous message on any level of seriousness, I was just saying that because i do intend to buy Bionic along with the new album at the day of its release, as I do not own Little Dreamer, so I was just playing around with that.
Of course when new music comes that will take over all of my Christina interest for years to come!
"kimono who?" lol

Have to say, I feel like buying the iTunes deluxe edition of Bionic around the time of the release of the new album, since sales would make a bigger impact around that time. Now...if Kimono Girl became available around that time, well, that would convince me for sure to do it...So what do you say, Christina, can't we come up with some kind of a deal???

awww don't be, it just means you love her and wanna hear everything she has done, I wanna be in the room when she sings to Max. lol Her voice is a dream and hearing it is our dreams coming true.

I can describe it to you this way, you know about a race horse's life? A priced race horse garners just as much money and prestige when it's winning racing days has ended. RCA, if you look at their history, 'invests' in certain type of artists, for the long term. They may be the top company that does it.

They have people that they see as 'today's taste', which are short term investments, then their are people they consider part of their structure and they make long term commitments to them. A great example of this would be The Eagles. They are in special pens, most of their race horses are up for sale or negotiation, but the ones in the special pens usually have a home for as long as they choose.

It's like, sure RCA loves to make the quick bucks, but then there are the ones that keep it coming, the you-don't-need-to-be spoon fed artist. Just let them run around in their pens and they will come up with something. That allows RCA to give more attention to the 'today's taste' in order to make the quick buck.

This is just my description btw. They try and keep a balance by keeping their stable full of ones that have the most potential for bringing them continued successes, for the long term.

nope, all Christina, she told them what she wanted and they provided it as quickly as possible. All changes came from Christina, she gives you an idea of what was in her mind when she says that 'the heart of the album' was the personal stuff. The rest basically were collabs. She made sure that those songs were dead center of the album to represent her heart, the beginning songs represented her change, the last songs were pretty much back to the fun a way to end the regular album upbeat.

The extras were more of a salute to her fave writers on the album, her personal faves of all they had done together.

It only seems like it was thrown together, I guess. You guys would probably like RCA choices for Christina better, but she has her 'visions' and says, no, a lot. She will and has attested to that.

RCA didn't make any final changes to anything, I don't know where you get that idea from. Probably LDers who think RCA runs thing. They wish they did. lol Christina makes the final decisions, she sets the time, she cracks the whip, Christina cracks the whip, let me be clear, CHRISTINA CRACKS THE WHIP, and RCA works when she does.

Picture this, and I know this because I have witnessed the workings, you have a ship(RCA/SONY) that run by man power, which means 10 men in this particular compartment, with long oars helping to keep the boat moving, the person standing behind them to make them keep moving, the one holding a long whip, is Christina.

RCA didn't make any changes to Bionic, never. Totally her decision. The one and only record that she had no control over was the first album. Make no mistake, our little miss is the boss of her own destiny.

including amateur records of her singing voice from any location on earth in her releases would be brilliant

Wasn't Spotlight a left over track from Back to Basics and was turned into Show Me How You Burlesque? I can't think of one artist that doesn't have left over songs from each of their albums.

all of her albums have leftover tracks, she records up to about 40 to 50 songs, some complete, some demos, some with just her voice alone, for each album. Christina has a LOT of songs you have no idea about, trust me.

She may go back and finish them like she did with some of the songs that we got like, That's What Love Will Do and I Will Be. You never know, it just depends on how she feels about them.

I remember one time she was so intent on trying to narrow down which songs was going to be on one of her albums, that she locked herself into her bathroom so she could focus, apparently that may be where she feels she can focus best or something. But for her, it's an intense process.

Back to Basics didn't have any left over tracks though, while Bionic did. All I know is Le Tigre are hoping their song makes the next one in some way.

lmao, that is not even close to the truth. So far South, BlueRose, that they are swimming with the penguins.

Even the guy that did the music said the lyrics were Christina's, there has never been a dispute on who wrote it. Those people probably think Beyonce created the first american flag too.

@Candee: Back to the Miss Independent issue. I came across this today that talks about how some songs were passed up by some artists and became big hits for others. One of those songs they talk about is Miss Independent. You have mentioned that Christina wrote the song and someone else did the music for her and then they took it to Kelly after Christina decided not to use it...

This article is claiming that Destiny's Child wrote the song and decided not to use it, so the producer brought it to Christina and she passed on it, so he took it to Clarkson. Of course I believe your side of the story, but just thought it was interesting how Destiny's Child was brought into the mix.

When you click on the link and the article comes up, you have to then click on the gallery and scroll through each song until it comes to Christina. Just thought this would humor you given your opinion of Beyonce

Yes the Polow and Kelly tracks instead of the more creative material like Le Tigre and Ladytron collaborations is the only complaint I have about Bionic - I really wanted it all to be the creative material.

What is missing from the original Bionic are the following, that we know of now: Kimono Girl, a second unnamed Le Tigre song, and tracks with Goldfrapp. I am going to ask Santigold if she did any additional tracks with Christina beyond Monday Morning (one of Christina's best songs ever), Bionic and Bobblehead (with Hill/Switch too).

We do know we got all the Sia tracks, which is a relief.

I think this year would be a wonderful time for a B-sides album of unreleased material from Xtina. I do not know why she does not release albums like this, since other artists do. In fact, other artists intentionally leak unreleased songs to generate hype for new albums. But Xtina is a perfectionist, so perhaps that is why. It's a shame because we love anything she does.

I hope at least some Bionic material makes it out to the bonus track section of the new album.

remember what happenedwith the just be free incident? she's just tyoo careful of what she releases

I'm certain because it was one of many topics addressed thru emails of various people in her circle. RCA/Sony got so much email about it at the time, because so many people wanted all of Ladytron songs, but that one they had heard about the most, so they were kind of harassing about it. lol

The radio station got emails requesting it, especially when they played her Bionic stuff, fans would ask for that song. So it ended up being parts of small private conversations back and forth, between me and several others of her team.

I am often shocked about what they've heard etc, especially when they haven't heard it from me.

As far as not releasing it and it going to waste, as I said, Christina has a lot of songs, fully recorded, from each era, so there are a lot of songs you can say that are 'going to waste'. It happens.
