What do you think genuinely makes xtina happy though? Having #1’s? Having the highest grossing tour? Selling a million records? Or being happy with herself and her kids and family?…she is an artist. Her talent is what gave and continues to give her income. She loves the life she wants and raises her kid how she wants. She is in control. Sometimes happiness isn’t accomplished by having headlines. She thanks her fans every time she wins an award or is recognized for an achievement. She’s in her 40’s now do you really think she’s going to be pushing promo like she did in her debut years now that she has kids? She is recognized globally as a superstar; the great singer that she is. Some of us have learned to appreciate whatever projects she does, regardless if we are happy with the outcome or not. There have been so many “what ifs” in her career that it’s tiresome to even think of the next situations. Christina will never make all of us happy as we’d like but to pin point all her missed opportunities is ludicrous. Christina has this pattern that she will continue for the next x amount of years of her career. Just enjoy the gift that is Christina Maria Aguilera

She can do whatever she wants doesn’t really matter to me-not my life. I was just expanding on why some people are frustrated she doesn’t let her projects reach their full potential

Again…what do you think her “full potential” is??? Being at #1? Being the most successful tour? Most successful album? She’s been there and done that… She tells us she puts her heart into her album…in particular her last one…she won a Grammy for it…what do you think “tops” a Grammy to her??? She does what SHE wants to and as a ‘fan’ you continue to complain and dissect what she does, it’ll never make everyone happy. One day you might look at the glass half full rather than half empty. Cheers sis!

It’s amazing how some fans think they know xtinas personal life. She a is a superstar, she makes money when she sleeps, she has her family, kids to raise, she paid her dues so you really think she’s concerned about what some of you are thinking about how she “rolls out” her projects? She puts music out when SHE wants to. She performs where SHE wants to. It’s HER career. Regardless of how she does these projects she is still winning Grammys 22 years after winning best new artist. She doesn’t care about charts and numbers, her “roll out” pays off. Over the last 20 years I think we have all learned what her pattern is when it comes to her projects, we will never be 100% with all her decisions but damn some of you are unbelievable. If she releases an album with 1-2 singles you’re mad, if she releases a Grammy winning album with multiple singles and videos, you’re mad about it not charting, not understanding the video storyline…There is no winning with y’all. It must be mentally exhausting to think like you do.

You make some valid points but for me, I think the frustration is that she actually sort of set herself up for a massive comeback with the quality music and visuals. The issue was the messy rollout of the second 2 EPs, the lack of key promo in the primary markets she was supposed to be engaging the most. My issue isn’t so much the random UK and festival tour- yes there was the Spain one that was cancelled at no fault of hers. Just another missed opportunity and we will always be left wondering “what if she had gone on some talk shows..what if she toured in Latin America to coincide with the album release (yeah I know she’s touring there in 2023 but the album has already seen its award season). There was good and bad with this era- like Mack said, for whatever reason she/her team can’t just give a 100% effort on a project/performance these days.

I definitely agree with you on the fact that the Latin fans ain't shit (for years they talked a big game, swearing she would do Shakira's numbers and lit up the charts when in reality they failed to show real support, letting Christina's efforts go unnoticed)... BUT imo the other big reason the album didn't chart is the ill-fated strategy adopted by the label (the EPs, streaming-only release, zero promo outside the US, etc.). With the same approach, even an English album wouldn't have charted.

With all due respect, this is the most insane comment ive ever read. Christina herself let her efforts go unnoticed. A whack ass rollout, a mindnumbing incoherent storyline of the first three music videos that SHE couldn’t even explain herself at that Billboard interview, disappearing for a couple months in the middle of an era. A random ass UK tour in the middle of a Spanish era, performing the same three Spanish songs…

Come on girl.

She was literally nominated for ROTY.

Ok, I didn’t see her name in any nomination articles so didn’t notice.

Shakira doesn't need this at this moment... hey, Shakira could die today and she would go as one of the greatest of all times... so don't even try to come for her.



She got AOTY, SOTY, ROTY that time.

This is not to make us envious but to respect her.

The top categories were a long shot and the double nominations in that Urban category meant she would split votes. I had higher hopes for the regional Mexican category, but perhaps it’s best she didn’t win since she’s not Mexican.

I’m SO SO happy she won at least one Grammy though. This now strengthens her chances to win the English Grammy.

That typical trolling line. I love X but ..blah blah

What is an appropriate amount of time before we drag Gilbert and Sheri for dear life?

So happy X won her Grammy. One is all we needed

Haven't seen a thing but her red carpet clip, her perf, and her acceptance speech. Am drinking and watching Judge Judy.

The gerls here didn’t want tinE doing a medley. Let’s not.

I wasn't aware what users are posting on this forum would influence the Latin Grammys production, but okay.

Get fucked.
