“Christina Aguilera’s Bionic is a pop classic. So many bangers, and she used indie collabs before it was cool. People throw around ahead of its time a lot, but this really was.”

“It was definitely ahead of its time. I don’t mean that in a weird, kooky avant-garde way, but it touched on trends and sounds that later became mainstream in pop. I think the whole album was just awkwardly handled. The release was delayed several times. Her just straight-up abandoning it after it dropped hurt a lot, too.”

“‘You Lost Me’ not being nominated for best vocal performance that year when it should have won that Grammy will forever hurts.”

“Bionic deserved more recognition. It was sad how Xtina was treated that era.”
