Following my post yesterday regarding the new album from Christina I’ve listened non-stop to the forthcoming single “Candyman” and can’t get the great song out of my head. It reminds me of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by the Andrews Sisters (albeit a very modern slant on it!), can’t see the Andrews sisters singing like she does! There are also elements of scat that reminds me of the song Phil Collins did with N-Sync for the Tarzan soundtrack, the song was called Trashin’ The Camp.

Anyway I checked out youtube.com earlier and found the following video taken from a Channel 4 programme in the UK, broadcast last week it’s a special live edition of the song. I have now found the Official Candyman Video here and there are two videos on youtube on the making of and behind the scenes – you can find links to the two halves here part 1 & part 2. Another version can be found here in her MTV Back to Basics Special. Looking for more versions I came across her live performance of Beautiful on the TV show and thought I should include it here !

The Video is a live performance of Candyman taken from her new Album Back to BasicsA number of live performances are surfacing now and I thought I’d list them to make it easier for you to locate them. Click the links to watch them, enjoy. If you find any more then please let me know.

Two bits of news for fans of the very very sexy and hot  Christina Aguilera today here at Milo’s Rambles; Aguilera, the blonde bombshell has stripped…. not in song but for a sexy photo shoot in the latest edition of the GQ Magazine. The pictures are reminiscent of the Marilyn Monroe style in the late 1940′s. The photo’s are stylish and leave little to the imagination but hell, who’s complaining, not me that’s for sure.

Next week sees the launch of her latest and most daring album release for years in Back to Basics, a double album full to the top with 23 tracks. The album is a tribute to the the style that made and inspired her throughout her career and draws heavily on a mixture of influences including soul, jazz and blues taken from the ’20′s to the 40′s. Also included is her own take on R&B and pop music.

Her first single from the album “Ain’t no other man” was released in June and reached number 2 in the UK charts and number 6 in the US. On the other hand the music video was released on iTunes and went straight to number one in the downloads chart. The video is set back in the 1920′s/1930′s and she stars as her alter ego baby Jane. “Candyman” will be the second single to be released from the album. The song is sung in the style of the 1940′s and listening to it you could close your eyes and be transported back in time to second world war period dance hall music. The song is without doubt the “happiest” song on the album.

One of my other favourites from the album is taken from the second discs, a very melancholy, …
