“Plus, said insiders, Aguilera has not beenwilling to adapt. "The label has done its part, but she's headstrong. Therehave been candid conversations between her and the label about connectivity, but it doesn't seem that she's been open to that dialogue."
"Reports claimed the poor sales stemmed from Aguilera refusing to listen to her label's suggestions that she needed to update her pop sound to compete in a modern market"
En gros ça explique que Christina est têtue et n’ai pas ouverte au dialogue…
“Her manager, Irving Azoff, added, "Iam the one who deals with the label, and this couldn't be further from the truth."
"But a rep from RCA Records insiststhe singer is still one of the company's top talents."
son manager et un représentant de RCA démentent tout conflits…
Je pense que dans les prochains jours nous en seront très vite plus…
En même temps ça fait quelques temps que j’avais la conviction (jel’ai déjà évoqué d’ailleurs) que Christina faisait sa loi et n’en faisait qu’à sa tête et que RCA, n’avait pas trop le choix que de céder pour ne pas perdre sa plus grosse star…
Par contre à présent que le succès n’est pas au rendez-vous, que va-t-il se passer ?
Bien sur tout n’est pas encore perdu mais tout cela peut annoncer une fin prématurée de l’album et peut-être même pas de tournée du tout…
Comme dirait Mad4xtina, wait and see…..
voici l'article en question:
Christina Aguilera's new album, "Bionic," is doing so poorly, music insiders say her label RCA is in "rescue mode."
Sales for Aguilera's fourth album have barely hit 200,000 in five weeks of release. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts and quickly fell out of the Top 10. (In comparison, Drake's "Thank Me Later" sold about 450,000 in its first week.)
The tepid sales come as Aguilera canceled her summer tour, citing inadequate rehearsal time between the album release and the tour dates. Plus, with the release of her sexually charged video for "Not Myself Tonight" -- in which she wore bondage gear and kissed women -- critics slammed her as a Lady Gaga knockoff.
Music-industry insiders said Aguilera misjudged the market.
Her early albums seemed rebellious and edgy compared with Britney Spears' and Jessica Simpson's, but she's now competing against more avant-garde acts such as Gaga, Rihanna and M.I.A.
In the four-year lag since her last album, "Back to Basics," Aguilera has had a child, Max. Now, a source said, she "wants to compete with her peers, but there is a disconnect because, over the years, she's been a mother and a wife, not a rocker."
Plus, said insiders, Aguilera has not been willing to adapt. "The label has done its part, but she's headstrong. There have been candid conversations between her and the label about connectivity, but it doesn't seem that she's been open to that dialogue."
An RCA rep denies any panic, saying Aguilera "is a pillar of the RCA Music Group and is an undeniable talent with one of the greatest voices of our time. She continues to push herself as an artist, and we are behind her efforts 100 percent."
Her manager, Irving Azoff, added, "I am the one who deals with the label, and this couldn't be further from the truth."
