Like the song, but the video is just ok.
Her styles are great in it, but they could have executed it better.
And to be honest I'm a bit tired of sex as a main theme in a video for a western artist. Couldn't they take something else for a change?

Coming from someone who's listened to her for the past decade and has enjoyed a lot of it, I got a real "Hey, I was edgy before Lady Gaga damnit!" vibe from this. It also seemed she was trying wayyy to hard.

I've always liked Aguilera more than Gaga. Also, I didn't find out about LG 'til awhile after that first album released. I really like the new CA song. I can't wait to hear the rest. Also, Amazon's listed both a regular and deluxe edition, so I'm curious about Bionic's Deluxe Edition now. Wanna know what extra's on it.

Her "not myself tonight" video was just one big epic fail.

Not feeling the song or video... from the looks of her over-the-top sl*tty image, she's going back to "sex sells" just like her Dirrty era.

This might help you...

輸入盤デラックスエディション
初回生産限定盤【Lenticular Cover (立体視覚特殊ジャケット)仕様】
特殊カードがジャケット部分に差し込まれる予定。20pブックレット予定。ボーナス・トラック5曲収録予定 。ジュエル・ケース予定。

I also wonder whether the 1st press of Japan Version does contain the same Lenticular Cover or not.


Translation:

Deluxe Edition is a limited edition with a Lenticular Cover,the Lenticular Cover is just a card box,and it will contain a 20-page booklet,5 bonus tracks in a JEWEL CASE.

Wiki is always by your side...
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lenticular

P.S:
She performanced her new song called "YOU LOST ME" last night and BIONIC's intro had been revealed also,and they sound...good so far,cuz they're very blurred and recorded by the mobile phone I guess.

At the same show,she also performanced one of her old songs which it's my all time favourite called "I'm OK",hope we can get the video clips soon!!!

i actually like the video.

very reminiscent of early 1990's Madonna.
Justify My Love + Human Nature + Erotica + Express Yourself
I'm sure those were the inspirations, though.

I dunno, I say let artists be artists--it's not like this is shocking for Christina.

I mean at one point she shaved off her eyebrows and drew them on black for heaven's sake!

But jokes aside, I'm excited for her new album. I don't tend to follow her that closely, but her video piqued my interest. Granted the song isn't the most impressive lyrically, I think every album needs at least one radio friendly song, haha.

New tidbits of info from xtinaweb.

曲目タイトル:
Not Myself Tonight (1stシングル)
L-O-V-E
Glam(トリッキー・シュチュワート)
You Lost Me
Monday Morning
他、全18曲収録予定

This says the album will feature 18 tracks, including Not Myself Tonight (1st single), L-O-V-E, Glam (Tricky Steward), You Lost Me, Monday Morning, etc.



According to Cede.ch, Christina Aguilera newest album ‘Bionic‘ will have two version. The normal version will have 18 tracks & the deluxe version will have 23 tracks.






WE had a sneak listen to Ag’s hotly anticipated fourth album. And it turns out the 29-year-old has still got a few surprises up her S&M sleeve.

Here are our highlights:

Bionic: A raunchy, dub-flecked treat, reminiscent of Rihanna and Santigold. “Allow yourself to transform,” Aggy sings in a rumblingly low register.
Not Myself Tonight: The first single has been overshadowed by the risque video but it has pleasing echoes of Janet Jackson in her heyday, and Gimme More-era Britney Spears.
WooHoo: Christina tips her peroxide fringe to Kelis and M.I.A with this saucy dancehall number. “You know you really wanna taste my… You know you really wanna get a peak at my…” she sings seductively.
I Hate Boys: A glam-rock stomp with a deceptively simple chorus that will have schoolgirls singing at the top of their lungs.
You Lost Me: This Sia-penned torch song about a cheated-on lady sounds like a classic. There’s a smoky vulnerability to Aggy’s voice.
Lift Me Up: Written by Four Non-Blondes’ Linda Perry, this could have fallen into cliche territory but the slick production elevates it to a modern, moody power ballad.

edit: Bionic (Intro) - most luikely fake, doesn't say allow yiurself to transform

oh, i totally cant wait for this now. So, will the Japan or UK presses have any additional bonus tracks or material? I'm doubting it with an already such large track list.

It's not bad. Though I felt like I was watching something softcore. Hm...

Dirrty, in my opinion is much better.
