I saw the film TONIGHT! Never have i been such a fan girl whilst watching a film. I'm 21 now I need to snap out of it but Xtina in this movie is just flawless. Burlesque really doesn't try to be anything more than just a great fun musical. It excels soo much in that department.
It seriously also helps going to watch this film having listened to the soundtrack as you can enjoy the performances that much more.
I loved it ALL. I wont spoil for those who have yet to see but defo the performance to watch out for is "Guy what takes his time" She just looks AMAZING! Reminds me Baby Jane sfm. And Tough Lover..her voice WOW.
Listening to Xtina's voice in full cinematic sound was crazy, you truly appreciate her voice lol
I can sleep happy tonight *goes and listens to Burlesque soundtrack*

Wow sounds like you had a great time! I'm hopefully seeing it today (I hope) and I bet the music sounded amazing. I really can't wait to see her sing 'bound to you' as well
Christina is a good actress. I totally forgot it was her in the role. She really won me over. She could go on to have a stable successful movie career. Maybe more in the line of movies like this or rom com's.
Cher was amazing. I loved her performance and i am suprised she didn't get a golden golden globe for a supporting role. Her chemistry with Christina was brilliant. Her best chemistry was with Stanley Tucci. Their chemistry reminded me a little of his and meryl streep's in the devil wears prada. Christina's character reminds me a little of Roxy in Chicago. The cast in general work brilliantly.
Kristin bell was totally in a different role. She played a bitchy character. She looks stunning with brown hair. It was nice seeing her play a character she isn't normally known for playing.
Xtina stans where you at? Hope you had a great Christmas
It's funny how we're starting next year how we started this year with Xtina...just awaiting new album news , it's gonna be a wait but i love Christina too much not to have faith. I think she'll bring it with the next album, the divorce will make her produce some great music, i can imagine already! I CANT WAIT!
had a brilliant break and i agree how funny it is that a year ago we were all raving about Bionic etc. and this time it's me raving about Britney's 7th album and all and cannot wait to hear new artists!!
and i really hope Christina is focused on her album and recording and promotion as she is an artist who i really want to see live and on tour and promoting herself out there. I want an album as HUGE as Stripped was globally where each song is expertly made and flows excellently! it really brought alive the album that follows a concept!
I love Bionic still and think it was one of the best and alongside American Life it will be a heavily underrated and neglected gem of an icon's career. But with every slump comes a Ray Of Light! and i stay true to that.
On a side note Burlesque is now one of my fave musicals!!! and also i was thinking it would be brilliant if Christina would be in a Disney film (Princess style) and really be a character (was watching The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty & The Beast and The Lion King back to back the other day and then it struck me!) that would be incredible! i can also visualise her in a noir crime flick too set in the '40's she has a good acting talent i believe as well as her image and vocals
Haven't posted in here in SO long..
Still loving Christina as usual .. but haven't seen Burlesque yet I went to see it at the pictures but my local cinema has stopped showing it!

same. guess I'll have to wait until the DVD release.
it's QUALITY! but it got several 3 star ratings so it's at LEAST in th 60's region on metacritic!!! GRRRR
To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to get rave reviews. The plot is what people were expecting of her. Also critics were going to judge because she's a popstar-who-made-a-film. At least it got better reviews than Mariah Carey's Glitter.
I will buy the DVD though because I haven't seen it and want to.
Personally, I'm not bothered that Burlesque hasn't worked out amazingly. It's done well enough to be not considered a disaster and it's not been universally panned, plus it produced a solid soundtrack if nothing else.
The silver lining will be if Christina wins the GG for 'Bound to You'. Maybe even an Oscar. Quite a feather in her hat.
Besides, if she wants to give acting a proper go this will have been a pretty good foot in the door. I actually think her best bet would be to ditch musical movies and be a solid supporting role in a respectable film. She's good with emotions and acts through her more soulful, painful, songs so applying that to acting might not be too much of a stretch. Failing that, I'm sure there's a musical biopic in her midst.

Here's to 2011!!!
Still loving Christina as usual .. but haven't seen Burlesque yet
same.
Not great, but not bad either.
that's HORRIFIC!!!!
it's QUALITY! but it got several 3 star ratings so it's at LEAST in th 60's region on metacritic!!! GRRRR

I will buy the DVD though because I haven't seen it and want to.
Also, a vital statistic;
It earned $49.2m worldwide, therefore missing out on the $55m budget target.
(Though, it could make that back in DVDs and TV airings).
So technically, it's a flop.:(
The silver lining will be if Christina wins the GG for 'Bound to You'. Maybe even an Oscar. Quite a feather in her hat.

Flop album.
Flop film.
Divorce.
I hope she just forgets it, and moves on.
Roll on 2011!:)
Hardly a 'flop' film when it JUST missed out the cash it should have been.
