After giving us a sneak preview behind-the-scenes look over the weekend, Xtina Aguilera has finally released the music video for her new single Keeps Gettin’ Better, the first track released from her new Greatest Hits compilation Keeps Gettin’ Better: A Decade of Hits. Choosing to forego the traditional music video release on MTV, Xtina decided to premiere the vid online on the Facebook iLike app:

Now that TRL is ending its 10-year run on MTV, Christina Aguilera [took] to the Web to premiere her new music video for her hit single, “Keeps Gettin’ Better,” on Monday afternoon. The singer, 27, chose iLike.com, a social music Web site and Facebook application, to release her new video. In it, Aguilera travels through time – and costumes – to the present day. “I really enjoyed making the video,” Aguilera says. “Being an artist who likes to play around with different looks, it was a lot of fun to portray various characters within the same shoot.” The song will be featured on her greatest hits CD, which includes 10 of her best singles and another brand new song, “Dynamite.” It will be available exclusively at Target stores on Nov. 11.

Sadly, I have to admit that the music vid is NOT as cool as it sounds in the description. Even the behind-the-scenes preview was misleading … I am really not very impressed with the video at all. We know from the preview pics that Xtina did a lot of “green screen” work … and by the look of the final product, it appears that she shot the whole video in one afternoon. There isn’t much action at all. I’m sorry, IMHO it’s kinda sucky. I don’t understand … Xtina has enjoyed a decade of hits and this song is actually very good. Her live performance of the track at the 2008 MTV VMAs was HOT! This vid is not. What do y’all think? Thumbs up or middle fingers out?

After the jump, check out part two of Xtina’s interview where she talks about and thanks her fans for their vigorous support for her new project … (more…)

Britney Spears isn’t the only popdiva promoting and releasing new music these days … Ms. Xtina Aguilera has got some new shizz of her own to promote as her new single Keeps Gettin’ Better is released for sale today. While her new Greatest Hits compilation Keeps Gettin’ Better: A Decade of Hits won’t be available for sale until November 11 (and only at Target stores), her new single Keeps Gettin’ Better is available for download now on iTunes. Here are a couple new promo pics of Xtina to go along with her new album:

It’s official, I’ve decided that I really love this track. It’s fun, catchy and really infectious … try as I might to deny it, I kinda love it now. I also love that both Xtina and Britney are back to releasing new music at the same time again … it kinda feels like 1999 again. At this point, tho, there is no reason for competition … each woman has achieved staggering success in their own right … we, as pop fans, can just sit back and enjoy it all together. It’s a pretty good time to be a pop music fan again … we get to enjoy new music by the poplets we know and love and not have to deal at all with those pesky boybands in the process. It’s a total win/win situation, don’t cha think?

Radio station Z100 in NYC has world premiered Xtina Aguilera’s new song Keeps Gettin’ Better on the radio and is now offering the song for streaming online:

I’ve listened to the song a couple of times and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Something about the cadence beat of the song doesn’t grab me right off but mebbe after a few listens it’ll grow on me. The lyrics are a bit cheeky but … nothing revolutionary. Have a listen, tell me what you think.
