My friend and I have no reason to lie. But its fine. I’m not mad at the doubt and completely understand the skepticism. Just wanted to share something I thought the forum might want to know.
I’m
Not saying you’re lying but im saying your friend might be playing a game of telephone and changing what Christina actually said (if it happened) I don’t believe for a second Christina fucking Aguilera would call herself washed up.
Totally understand your perspective!

Im Glad that you understand but Ima need you to retract that statement because that’s how rumors start. Next thing you know breathheavy will be releasing an article on how Xtina is insecure, self doubting and “washed up”. I will not allow it

You're a good stan looking after X's best interests, but I don't think it is a bad thing even if X said that in reality. It shows that she is human. There is no shame in that. IMO, it is a sign of bravery.

Let me tell you the love was real night 1 too. Everyone was shook. It was my friends first concert and I’m his own words, “Beyoncé could never!” She is the vocalist of a generation for a reason. Although we poke fun at her singing it to death, hearing her sing Beautiful is indescribable and makes me cry like that 13 year old closeted gay hearing it for the first time. Also, as if there were any doubt about it, Lady Marmalade is HER song (I’m sorry Patti.)
My friend also randomly noted how sweet and humble she is during the show. Maybe that person took her humbleness as a sign of not feeling like a “big” star.
Christina is incredibly humble.
Re: Christina performing at Hollywood Bowl this summer!

Ugh, one of my closest friends was finally able to reveal that she worked on the show, helped cast the dancers, and an artist she manages helped with the costume design. She said X is such a pro and super sweet, but it breaks my heart to say this, my friend revealed that X mentioned a few times that she’s been feeling like she’s “Washed up.”
Which sounds absurd to me because she’s an icon. But she’s also human. Just made me sad to hear that.
tbh i find that hard to believe that Christina would be this vulnerable with her staff. Maybe with her close friends or Matt behind closed doors. She strikes me as a strong and prideful woman. Not to say she doesn't have moments of weakness but regardless, being this openly self critical with her employees doesn't sound like her at all.
You saying @Chintheory and ha friend are lying?
Yes.

It had have been overheard. I cant see her being like "oh hey, you handed out number bibs during dancer casting and manage the costume designer's assistant? So listen, I'm feeling washed up"
Re: Christina performing at Hollywood Bowl this summer!
Washed up is probably just the term the friend chose to use. We’ve often said here Christina is underrated and underappreciated. It’s probably just something along those lines.
Well, exactly! This is the general public’s problem. Christina hasn’t lost her talent, beauty, or star quality.

Aww that’s so sad to hear, but not surprising tbh. I always felt like she put off a follow-up to Lotus for so long because she was afraid of flopping again. Same thing with touring. The Voice came with a high salary and primetime exposure with relatively little effort, so it was easy for that to become her main gig for a while. I can see why she’s so grateful for the support at her live shows in recent years.
I truly think she just needed a better team surrounding her and giving honest, constructive feedback. Hollywood Bowl was the perfect venue to highlight her status as a living icon. She should be cementing her legacy as a touring force and making more ambitious music than ever before, not chasing chart success to stay “relevant”.

This. She should stay left field, avant-gard, as she has always been.
It is part of her brand by now.

Y'all are delusional. She came back with two left-field releases in two completely different genres and both got ignored. She needs a song that sticks with the general public that can gain her some traction, one that could maybe gain some new fans and remind some old fans.

Lol @ Lotus or Liberation being left field...
What part of Your Body was avant-gard? Fall in line was a classic pop ballad.

This.
She's back to her prime. She hasn't been this good since the Baby Jane and early Bionic days.

They might be referring to “Accelerate”. As much as I love that song, it’s not “hit” material, although it’s a wonderful reminder that Christina isn’t afraid to continue pushing boundaries for herself.
When I said ambitious, I just meant a bold direction, not necessarily avant-garde. Stripped, Back to Basics, and Bionic were all conceptual records where she collaborated with top talent to bring her vision to life. She needs that same level of passion for her future projects.
Also, as if there were any doubt about it, Lady Marmalade is HER song (I’m sorry Patti.)
bet y’all feel stupid now
