Burlesque (soundtrack)

The album also received a nomination at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.

In early May 2010, Aguilera announced that she would embark on the supporting concert tour for her sixth studio album, Bionic.

[2] However, her management team announced shortly afterwards that the tour was postponed due to Aguilera's promotion for her first feature film, Burlesque (2010), in which she starred alongside Cher.

Lott was able to clear the samples, and eventually released the song as the lead single from her self-titled third studio album in 2014.

[11] "I Am a Good Girl" "sticks to the sassy swing of a bygone musical era",[13] while "Express" has a similar musical style to Aguilera's previous single "Lady Marmalade"[12] and lyrically evokes sexual theme as Aguilera "seductively" sings, "Show a little leg / You gotta shimmy your chest".

[14] The uptempo number "Show Me How You Burlesque" has a "modern sounding" dance production, but "lack of melody and strong hooks".

On November 24, 2010, a digital remix extended play of "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" was released via iTunes Stores worldwide.

[6] Slant Magazine's Eric Henderson provided a mixed review, writing that the soundtrack "seems to indicate her efforts are coming from a similarly era-straddling psychological place".

[12] Writing for The Oregonian, Mike Russell noted that "Christina Aguilera has magnificent pipes, and if you like hyper-produced, brass-heavy show-pop that winks at the cabaret tradition, you'll probably dig the Burlesque soundtrack", also adding that "every song is engineered to be a blockbuster".

[28] Jim Farber from New York Daily News criticized Aguilera for her "vocals offer the same distracting loop-de-loops and showy tics", but complimented Cher that she "balances both aspects ideally".

[27] In a positive review, Billboard editor Kerri Mason praised Burlesque as "a campy celebration of diva-dom and an over-the-top, triple-threat performance".

[11] James Wigney of The Advertiser praised Aguilera's "vocal gymnastics", but was mixed towards Cher's numbers on the soundtrack.

[29] The album was also met with a positive review from Diva Devotee, complimented for "strong vocals, brilliant production and evocative songs".

[38][39] Burlesque peaked at number 16 on the Canadian Albums Chart and was certified gold by the Music Canada for shipments of 40,000 units in the region.
