Christina Aguilera: “I Will Release New Material This Year…If It Feels Right”As earlier reported, Christina Aguilera sprung a surprise on the press last night by turning up at The Voice season 4 premiere. The diva, who is sitting out the show this season, stopped to talk to the media before sashaying in. Thankfully, the “what’s your favourite colour” and “do you like long walks in the park” type questions were left on the bench and Xtina was instead quizzed on what we really want to know about — the music! Watch below as the 32-year-old dishes on her recording plans, ‘Lotus’, and new material… Watching that, it kinda sorta seems that Christina is all but done with ‘Lotus’ – which would be a shame as the project has all the makings of a Pop comeback. Still, with the Pitbull headlined/Xtina-assisted ‘Feel This Moment’ officially a top ten on the Hot 100, it seems the singer’s comeback could be piecing itself together. All she needs to do now is ensure she – and her team – become “inspired” in time for her reported return to The Voice later this year. We’ve just about forgiven her for the lack of ‘Your Body’ performance, now it’s time to redeem her entire everything with an era that really slays – preferably this year. Check out the ‘Your Body’ video below — because we feel like it: ThatGrapeJuice

Hot Shots: Christina Aguilera Joins Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’ TourChristina Aguilera showed a little love to Rihanna‘s ‘Diamonds World Tour’ Monday night, heading to the Staples Center to catch the show. Sporting a slimmer frame, the ‘Loving Me 4 Me’ singer arrived with boyfriend Mathew Rutler where she enjoyed all the concert had to offer, including live showings of her #1 singles ‘Diamonds’, ‘Only Girl In The World’, ‘Umbrella’ and her budding hit ‘Pour It Up’. Christina’s sighting comes after her Pitbull led ‘Feel This Moment’ entered the UK Top Ten at #8, as the push for her latest album ‘Lotus’ seems to have come to an untimely end. More below… ThatGrapeJuice

Christina Aguilera Declares “Love” For RihannaHaving endured one-too-many Rihanna performances ourselves, we weren’t sure what possessed talented vocalist Christina Aguilera to attend her latest show. Indeed, as reported, the 32-year-old was spotted arriving at the Los Angeles stop of the ‘Diamonds Tour’ with long-term boyfriend Matthew Rutler. A keen fan of stand-up comedy, some speculated Aguilera was there for the guaranteed gags, while others suggested she was invited to offer vocal tips. However, it seems the true reason is much simpler — she loves her some RiRi! Watch Xtina profess her like for Chris Brown‘s boo after the jump… While the cynic in us ponders whether this “love” is as legitimate as it is strategic (see: aligning with one of the top acts out), Christina is – of course – entitled to her own opinion. Truth be told (and vocals aside), there’s actually a lot of synergy with the “bad gyal” image RiRi peddles these days and the one Xtina introduced with her ‘Stripped’ project. Viewed this way (and given the fact Xtina needs a hit), we wouldn’t be opposed to a collaboration between them. Goodness knows it’d be much better than the nonsense Rihanna and Aguilera’s rival Britney Spears cooked up two years ago. More than anything (and, to a degree, we can’t believe we’re saying this), we hope Xtina soaked up some of Rihanna’s hunger/work-ethic. For in the absence of much discernible talent, Ms. Fenty has soared to the upper echelon of Pop due -in part- to her drive. Whereas press scrutiny, personal drama, and the under-performance of her recent projects seem to have eroded such qualities in Christina. In any case, fingers crossed she finds her way again, because hits like this deserve much more success… ThatGrapeJuice

Christina Aguilera Could Snag $12 Million For 'Voice' Return Christina Aguilera is in talks to return to "The Voice," a source close to the singer tells The Hollywood Reporter. A source says Aguilera's payday is likely to be in the vicinity of $12 million. The Mark Burnett-produced NBC singing competition first featured Aguilera in its inaugural run along with seasons two and three. She then took a one-term break and may return for season five. Although The Voice has seen a slight dip in ratings this year -- a special May 8th episode notched a 2.7 among adults, a low for the series excluding recaps, but it was still enough to beat American Idol head-on in its first hour -- the buzz on new coaches Shakira and Usher has been overwhelmingly positive, which certainly can’t be said for Idol. Aguilera’s return is not unexpected. Burnett told THR last summer that artists of such stature (Adam Levine and Blake Shelton fill out the panel this season; Cee Lo Green was among the original foursome) have other musical commitments that could see them take extended breaks from the show’s big red chairs. “These are current touring artists, so it’s a matter of balancing schedules,” he said. “They’re all in demand and we’re just balancing it all.” Source

Christina Aguilera Hits #1 With ‘Let There Be Love’Christina Aguilera may be on a hiatus of sorts, yet that hasn’t stopped the Pop powerhouse from nabbing another #1 on the Billboard charts. Details after the jump… The diva’s latest triumph comes courtesy of ‘Let There Be Love’ - a Max Martin produced club anthem featured on her recent studio album ‘Lotus’. This week saw the cut, which has been a That Grape Juice favourite, rocket to #1 on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs tally – during its first “official” week of release. An “LOL” to some, yet a #1 nonetheless. ‘Love’ becomes Aguilera’s seventh song to top the chart. For us, the feat is somewhat bittersweet. Indeed, while it’s great to see such a deserving number receive some kind of recognition, we feel it could have achieved so much more had it been given the “proper” single treatment (one decent performance on The Voice, and a terrible one at the AMA’s will not suffice). Why? Because next to ‘Your Body’ (also produced by Martin), it’s the best thing she has released in years. Still, with Xtina back to being Xtina (take from that what you will), we’re hopeful she’ll back her next project to the fullest. For now, though, bask in the Pop brilliance that is ‘Let There Be Love’ below… ThatGrapeJuice

Hot Shot: Christina Aguilera Returns To ‘The Voice’ She’s back! After a season away from The Voice, Pop diva Christina Aguilera has resumed filming for the hit NBC show. Now airing two cycles a year (Spring and Fall), the talent search welcomed Shakira and Usher for its fourth series earlier this year, giving cast originals Xtina and Cee-Lo Green a chance to “recharge their batteries”. At the time, the ‘Your Body’ singer claimed the time away would be used to re-connect with her first loves – music and touring. Of course, in light of the performance (or lack-thereof) of her 'Lotus' album (which remains criminally underrated), the 32-year-old instead used the window to promote Pitbull‘s ‘Feel This Moment’ - which she guests on – and to hit the gym, the results of which see her looking the happiest and healthiest she’s looked in a good while. Fingers crossed Xtina’s return to The Voice and rejuvenated image mean new material is on the way. It’s clear she views herself as an artiste (see: lengthy gaps between projects and elaborate themes), hence she’s likely in no rush. However, from our vantage point, she’s more a “Pop star” than anything else. And as the Rihanna‘s and co have shown, there is almost a necessity in this new generation for “Pop stars” to keep the music coming. Add to that the fact that Christina is coming off two poorly performing projects, and the phrase “time waits for no one” rings oh so true here. We can only hope Team Xtina understand this.
