Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''''Bionic''''' is the sixth studio album by American singer [[Christina Aguilera]]. It was released on June 4, 2010, by [[RCA Records]]. Inspired by Aguilera's taste for [[electronic music]], ''Bionic'' is characterized as an [[electropop]], [[futurepop]] and [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] record. The first half consists of [[electronic music|electronic]] songs incorporating [[synthesizer]]s and [[electronic beats]], while the second half displays a [[ballad]]ic production. The album's main themes include [[sexual intercourse|sex]] and [[feminism]].

''Bionic'' received mixed reviews from music critics upon its debut. The record opened at a peak of number three on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] with first-week sales of 110,000 copies, selling 500,000 album-equivalents as of June 2018. Internationally, the album peaked inside the top ten in most countries, including a number-one debut on the [[UK Albums Chart]]. At the time of its release, ''Bionic'' was the lowest-selling UK Albums Chart number-one album of the last eight years.

The album spawned a number of singles: "[[Not Myself Tonight]]" was released in April 2010, and "[[You Lost Me]]" was released in June; "[[Woohoo (Christina Aguilera song)|Woohoo]]" was released in the United States and some European countries, while "[[I Hate Boys]]" was released exclusively in Oceania. ''Bionic'' was promoted in mid-2010 by television performances, such as Aguilera's appearances on ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'', the [[American Idol (season 9)|ninth season]] of ''[[American Idol]]'', ''[[Today (U.S. TV program)|Today]]'' and [[MTV Movie & TV Awards|MTV Movie Awards]]. A concert tour, titled The Bionic Tour, was initially planned to support the album, but was ultimately canceled due to Aguilera's heavy promotional schedule for the album and then-upcoming film ''[[Burlesque (American film)|Burlesque]]'' (2010).

Aguilera set about contacting collaborators on her own accord, at the behest of then-husband Jordan Bratman, without relying on the record label [[Artists and repertoire|A&R]].

===Cancelled concert tour===
Aguilera initially planned to further promote the album by embarking on The Bionic Tour. It was announced in early May 2010 that twenty shows had been scheduled in North America, which would run from July 15, 2010, to August 19, 2010. British singer [[Leona Lewis]] was said to be a supporting act and the tour would be in conjunction with North American leg of Lewis's tour [[The Labyrinth (tour)|The Labyrinth]] (2010).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/461666/leona-lewis-to-tour-with-christina-aguilera/1/ |title=Leona Lewis to tour with Christina Aguilera |work=[[Now (UK magazine)|Now]] |date=May 12, 2010 |access-date=June 20, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101215090811/http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/461666/leona-lewis-to-tour-with-christina-aguilera/1/ |archive-date=December 15, 2010 ))</ref> Later that month, Aguilera announced that she would postponed the tour until 2011, however, that never happened. In a message from tour promoter [[Live Nation]], Aguilera stated that due to the excessive promotion of the album and her then upcoming film debut in ''[[Burlesque (2010 American film)|Burlesque]]'', she felt it was necessary to take more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and the tour, it was impossible to create a show as her fans' expectation.<ref>((cite news|last=Sisario |first=Ben |url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/24/christina-aguilera-postpones-tour/ |title=Christina Aguilera Postpones Tour|work =The New York Times|date= May 24, 2010|access-date=June 20, 2010))</ref>

===Retrospective commentary===
In July 2012, Sam Lansky wrote for [[MTV]] Buzzworthy that the record was "precociously brilliant" and most of its songs were "thrilling", claiming that "the songs on the deluxe edition are forward-thinking and even timeless, galactic pop with subversive, ambient production." Lansky added that "In its own way, ''Bionic'' neatly illustrates the dangers artists face when aggressively trying to keep up with 'current' music. As a result, futuristic pop tracks can already sound dated by the time they're released. And even when they don't, those chart-chasing songs don't age particularly gracefully. But two years after the fact, ''Bionic''(('))s moments of greatness remain about as good as it gets."<ref name=mtvbuzz>((cite news|last1=Lansky|first1=Sam|title=The Legacy Of 'Bionic': Why Christina Aguilera's Misunderstood Album Was Actually Ahead Of Its Time|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2301279/christina-aguilera-bionic/|access-date=July 29, 2020|work=[[MTV Buzzworthy]]|date=July 7, 2012))</ref> In similar vein, Mike Wass of ''[[Idolator (website)|Idolator]]'' asserted four months later that "the album holds up better than expected, and is actually an intriguing — if somewhat disjointed and often meandering — collection of songs."<ref name="Idolator">((cite news|last1=Wass|first1=Mike|title=In Defense Of Christina Aguilera's 'Bionic,' As She Readies The Release Of 'Lotus'|url=http://www.idolator.com/7259812/christina-aguilera-bionic-defense-lotus|access-date=June 7, 2014|website=[[Idolator (website)|Idolator]]|date=November 9, 2012))</ref>

While reviewing Aguilera's eighth studio album ''[[Liberation (Christina Aguilera album)|Liberation]]'' in June 2018, ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' writer Claire Lobenfield retrospectively hailed ''Bionic'' as a record with "cutting-edge singles" that was "perhaps too forward-thinking, a risk that could have reaped the rewards of poptimism if the album had only been released a few years later."<ref>((cite news|last1=Lobenfield|first1=Claire|title=Christina Aguilera: Liberation|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/christina-aguilera-liberation/|work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|date=June 20, 2018|access-date=June 8, 2020))</ref> The following October, Joey Guerra of ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'' echoed these statements regarding the progressive nature of the album, calling ''Bionic'' "a forward-thinking assertion of independence like Madonna's ''[[Erotica (Madonna album)|Erotica]]'' and Janet Jackson's ''[[The Velvet Rope]]''."<ref name="houstonchron">((cite news |last1= Guerra |first1=Joey |title=In defense of 'Bionic,' Christina Aguilera's electro-pop opus |newspaper=[[Houston Chronicle]] |url= https://www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainment/music/article/In-defense-of-Bionic-Christina-13339833.php |archive-url= https://archive.today/20200610103625/https://www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainment/music/article/In-defense-of-Bionic-Christina-13339833.php |url-status= dead |archive-date= June 10, 2020 |date=October 30, 2018 |access-date=June 8, 2020))</ref> One of its tracks, "Birds of Prey", was ranked by ''Billboard'' at number 68 on a 2017 list of the hundred best deep cuts by 21st century pop stars, who wrote the song stood out as one of Aguilera's "most sonically beguiling compositions".<ref>((cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/best-pop-album-tracks-21st-century-deep-cuts-8039437/|title=The 100 Best Deep Cuts by 21st Century Pop Stars: Critics' Picks|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=November 21, 2017|access-date=August 22, 2023))</ref>

Ten years after the record's release, Glenn Rowley of ''Billboard'' wrote ''Bionic'' had become "something of a cult favorite LP" over time and noted that there had been regular calls for "#JusticeForBionic" — the online campaign — on social media.<ref name="BionicTen"/> Daniel Megarry of the ''[[Gay Times]]'' shared the same sentiment, calling it a "cult" record among the LGBTQ+ community, and believed it "will likely be re-discovered as a forgotten jewel by pop music fans for years to come".<ref>((cite magazine|url=https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/culture/135734/10-years-on-christina-aguileras-bionic-proves-it-really-was-ahead-of-its-time/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200609152833/https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/culture/135734/10-years-on-christina-aguileras-bionic-proves-it-really-was-ahead-of-its-time/|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 9, 2020|title=10 years on, Christina Aguilera's Bionic proves it really was ahead of its time|magazine=[[Gay Times]]|first=Daniel|last=Megarry|date=June 4, 2020|access-date=June 9, 2020))</ref> Wass opined that "Few albums have as many layers.
