Christina Aguilera: Keeps Gettin' Better?

Published Monday, Sep 8 2008, 18:26 BST | By Nick Levine | 10 comments
Christina Aguilera premiered her new single at the VMAs last night - 'Keeps Gettin' Better', as you may recall, is the title track from her upcoming greatest hits set. Her sassy, slickly-choreographed performance began with minute or so of 'Genie In A Bottle', reworked for the occasion as a pulsating electropop song, before she segued into a full rendition of 'Keeps Gettin' Better', a similarly pulsating electropop song.

Actually, 'Keeps Gettin' Better' sounds a bit like something from Goldfrapp's Supernature album, though we can't imagine Alison Goldfrapp singing a line like: "Sometimes I'm a super b**ch..." Truth be told, it isn't one of Christina's boldest singles, but it's a welcome change from what she was up to on Back To Basics and will more than hold its own on her greatest hits album. If you haven't heard it yet, 'Keeps Gettin' Better' leaked over the weekend and is now all over YouTube.

I loved it. Yeah so she was lip synching, we all know she has the talent. I can't wait for her singles cd and for her new cd next year because she just "keeps gettin better."

I thought it was the best performance for that entire event. I sorry but I have seen other artist lip their tracks and nobody said anything, GIVE CHRISTINA A BREAK PEOPLE!!! SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW AMERICAN ARTISTS WITH TRUE TALENT.

I like Christina Aguilera, but, the performance at the VMA's was terrible. The lip synching ruined it. This is what makes Christina....well, Christina...she never should have lip synched. And I don't like the new image, hair was hideous, outfit - yuck--and the song...didn't like at all. It was a disappointment in my eyes. But, I still lover her!

Christina's performance was very good...but I can't help to think that she looked a lot like Britney Spears in that cat suit! And her moves seemed very very similar to Lady Gaga's and so did her hairstyle.

Christina's new song 'Keeps getting better' is truely amazing, it will be a massive worldwide hit for her and can see this being as big as Rihanna's 'Umbrella'. Her new futuristic look is great 2, she looks very much like Lady Ga Ga. I am very glad she has ditched the jazz 'back to basics' image and is back to her more raunchy 'stripped' ways.

I really like this track. Should do well, though not sure yet if it is #1 material.
