So happy I was able to finally receive this vinyl a few months ago! My favorite tracks are definitely Birds of Prey and Not Myself Tonight.

I didn't get a chance to get this one, it sold out real quick

Not really  I prefer her spanish ballads 

[Spicechinodiva]

Let's not forget Perez Hilton and Gaga's friendship and ultimate goal to destroy this album, definitely did it's thing. 

 

Oddly both Cant be tamed and Bionic came at the heels of Gaga's superstar status and both flopped cos of fan campaigns spearheaded by this one time friendship, lucky for gaga she woke up and realized he was using her to destroy others. 

 

Though he tried to fix it with the justice for bionic, only to get called out saying he had a major hand In what happened to the project.

Her best album, hands down. So many great tracks. Horrible singles choices, though (with the exception of NMT) so many hits with huge potential on that album that were not taken advantage of whatsoever. I’ll forever be mad about it!

I know, I was very lucky!

[Moscow]

I really didn't understand why this album didn't do well in the US commercially, this album is not pure gold or anything but it's a solid album.

Chileeeee the bionic massacre was some of the funniest times on the internet   Monday morning, vanity, bionic and prima Donna girl are all still bops tho 

[itswwasheembitch]

She doesn't sell the album as it should. Communication is big and pretend to have an album ahead of his time LOL

[MmmBop]

I honestly LOVED Bionic and I think it’s a highly underrated album. I think it was unfair for Gaga fans to label her as copying Gaga when Gaga herself was accused of copying Madonna. Everyone borrows from each other to some degree or can find inspiration in their peers or the trends of the time. I loved the songs and the direction of the era. Her look was FLAWLESS! 
 

To those who are still finding reasons to hate on her, just remember who used their platform to advocate for Britney. Stop with the pettiness. If you’ve nothing nice to say keep it to your negative self. 

[Luiz Fernando]

Waaaaay ahead of time. 

[Crabo Lavender Turmeric]

It has some amazing tracks : Birds Of Prey, Little Dreamer, Stronger Than Ever, Prima Donna.... but a bit too much filler imo; also, why an album called Bionic had ballads that sounded like B2B rejects ? 

I don't understand why it is considered to be ahead of its time. It was actually of its time - When a few acts already did electropop - Kesha, Gaga, Spears, Black Eye Peas etc. 

Props to Xtina for standing up for her work tho  If you love what you cooked, it's all that matters

My fav part of the Bionic era was when Xtina threw her gum at the audience XD

 

 

[Живак]

the album was bland, generic, bad in unlistenable back in 2010, now even more. The production is flat and it's made from thrown electronic sounds without concept in the most non melodical way. The execution of album with like 20 tracks with only 2 good electronic songs and some ok ballads with the other style is even worse.

[If I'm Dancing]

S.əx for Breakfast was THAT song omg

Do you think Christina could go the more ballad driven route that Adele and Sam Smith have? Or do you think she's too known as a dancing, singing live pop star that the audience wouldn't want just a ballads girl? 

she totally should her best performances and new songs these days are ballads. She cant be bothered to get in shape or learn choreography so why not?

a live show full of this would be amazing!
