“Keeps Gettin’ Better” is the first single off Christina Aguilera’s upcoming greatest hits compilation. Christina sings about how sometimes she’s a bitch while other times she nice, but either her man will love her. Ok. This song has climbed up to number 7 on the Hot 100 and quite honestly I never hear on the radio. It doesn’t stand out on its own like Christina’s other work. Many times you could hear the first few cords and know it’s a song of hers.

Here are a sample of the lyrics:

Step back gonna come at ya fast
I’m driving out of control
And getting ready to crash
Won’t stop shaking up what I can
I serve it up in a shot
So suck it down like a man
So baby yes I know what I am
And no I don’t give a damn
And you’ll be loving it

Some days I’m a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
But it won’t last forever
Next day I’m your super girl
Out to save the world
And it keeps gettin’ better

The video was odd since it really had nothing to do with what she was singing about. Christina, like Britney Spears enjoys dressing in different costumes and wear various color wigs. The video is colorful that’s for sure, but it is too busy and lost my interest. I didn’t care to look at it all the way through.

Christina’s performance on the MTV Music Awards was confusing to me too. She didn’t sing the song like she always does. She mouthed it and took away any kind of enjoyment there could have been. It’s not all about the dancing. What makes a performance exciting is the combination of singing and doing it well while dancing. Not just anyone can do that. Christina can, but she opted out.
