Christina Aguilera chats with AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman about her performance Tuesday night on “The Voice.” What inspired her wardrobe choice? Plus, how sad was she to see Adriana Louise get eliminated from the competition? And, how excited is she for her fans to finally hear her new album, “Lotus”?

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce the newest version layout Xtina-Web.com is finally online! I’ve been trying to get all things together to match into one piece. This layout has been inspired by Christina’s latest album, “Lotus” which is in store now. There are several new features relating to the news content update and also the top header. Hopefully all of you will like the layout as much as I do! 

I’ve added a new still on the first look of Christina Aguilera in Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas special to the gallery.

Makeup artist Kristofer Buckle:

Xtina always puts the pedal to the metal when it comes to performing. Tonight’s look was inspired by the villains of the Strawberry Shortcake cartoon. Black track by Mac for the liner and a grape purple eye shadow in the crease by makeup forever. The lid had lavender grease paint by kryolan with opalescent craft glitter pressed over it. Lips were fiore by Stila.

Stylist Simone Harouche:
For tonight’s Performance of “Make the World Move” we custom made her performance outfit. We were inspired by a fun and colorful pop world queen. Her Dress is made by les habitudes and we customized it so it would be more sexy and fun. Her crystalized thigh high boots are by Stewart Weitzman, jewels by Tom Binns and a faux fur shawl we dyed navy to add a little depth to the costume colors.

For tonight’s chair look, Christina wore a white tuxedo jacket by Alexander McQueen, iro tee shirt and American Apparel shorts. Jewels from Roseark. I hope you guys love tonight’s looks as much as i do!

Hair stylist David Babaii:
Tonight we take you on a journey that everyone fantasizes about. For me as a hairstylist the hair must tell a story and create a spell, Christina is the perfect muse as she allows me to think out of the box. Her energy and passion excites my creative juices to the point that the hair on my arms stand up. To create this explosion of texture and volume I used my own David Babaii Miracle Volume and IT&LY HAIRFASHION’S Pure Definition Hair Spray. With long hours and hot lights I stand back and say, “Using great products that really work, makes all the difference”.

To top the look off I used my fragrance Royal Desire which makes any woman feel like a queen. Royal Desire is available at Sears and online.

Taking the role of eliminator out of “The Voice” coaches’ hands sits well with at least two of the stars in the oversized red chairs.

“My trust has been replenished,” Cee Lo Green said after the Nov. 13 live show that saw the cast of singers whittle to 10 from a dozen. “It was exactly as I would have chosen.”

Christina Aguilera, who said goodbye to her team’s Adriana Louise, a waitress from Brooklyn, said “it’s bittersweet. I’m a little thankful the pressure is not on my shoulders. There are such a lot of unique singers to there are no losers. They’re all ‘The Voice’ in different ways.”

Besides Louise, the 16-year-old with a mohawk, Team Blake’s Michaela Paige was also voted off.

The change in the system, which leaves the decision-making of who stays in the hands of voters and download buyers, felt significantly different from previous seasons in which the coaches found themselves on the spot deciding who to set free and who to save. In some cases, when a coach would be last of the four to make a selection, they were deciding a singer’s fate within seconds.

Drawing out the “you are safe” element over the course of an hour — performances from Aguilera and Green, Jason Aldean, and Green and Blake Shelton with their teams pleasantly broke up the tension — gave the show a feel similar to its chief rival, “American Idol.” It also puts the show in a position “X Factor” found itself in in its first American season — with America judging, one of the coaches may find themselves out of the competition early as Paula Abdul did on “X Factor” last year.

“It’s more important to give America their say,” host and producer Carson Daly said after Tuesday’s telecast. “If a coach has to take a back seat, so be it. We listened to what the research told us. Fans said ‘we’re your loyal viewers, relinquish some power.’ I like the change. It says ‘here’s the talent. Get invested.’”

The talent on display Tuesday, however, was overwhelmingly coach-driven. Green opted for some late-period Elvis Presley garb while his team donned “Brady Bunch” fashions for the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive”; Shelton led his crew on a straightforward “Life is a Highway”; and Aldean, an old friend of Shelton’s, performed “The Only Way I Know” with contestants Bryan Keith and Dez Duron.

Aguilera and Green were first up with an elaborate presentation of her “Make the World Move” that was a visual mix of Cleopatra, Marie Antoinette and a burlesque show. In rehearsal, Aguilera had a bit more bounce in her steps that shook the top of her dress close to wardrobe malfunction; the live presentation was calmer and less chancy.

Her next television appearance will be Nov. 18 at the American Music Awards and she promises a completely different presentation.

“There are so many different textures on (her new album) ‘Lotus’ that there’s not one song that represents it,” she says. “Every song is different in mood so for the AMAs, I’ll do a medley of ‘Lotus’ tunes — ‘Army of Me,’ ‘Let There Be Love’ (and others).”

Christina Aguilera has the vocal chops, the look, the strut and millions of new fans thanks to her stint as a judge on TV singing contest “The Voice.”

But can she still sell records?

The singer, who had global hits with “Genie in a Bottle” and the female empowerment ballad “Beautiful” more than 10 years ago, bids to reclaim her status as one of the world’s biggest pop stars with her new album, “Lotus,” released on Tuesday.

Aguilera, 31, says the title and the mixture of dance-pop, ballads and rock-tinged tracks reflect the hopes and disappointments of recent years that saw her 2010 tour for album “Bionic” canceled, a divorce and the box-office flop of her debut feature film, the musical “Burlesque.”

“Lotus represents the unbreakable flower that stands the test of time. No matter the roughest of weather conditions, it remains strong and continues to thrive. (The album) is a nod to my fans who have been here with me the whole journey, and a nod to myself,” she said. Read the rest of this entry »
