Pink pig gave the song a glowing review- but he did add that it sounded "dated". Perhaps not the best feedback for her to be getting on what's supposed to be "futuristic material" .

the "this is my night" reference reminds me Mariah's "it's like that"

The song drags - It feels like a 10minute song.
There is way too much going on.


It reminds me of 90's eurodance music - particularly this song (2 unlimited - no limit)

I'm surprised Perez said it sounded dated. The production is the songs strongest/freshment element to me, I like the parts at the end when it get to play out. Its very cool at those parts. Less would have been more in other departments - its horribly messy and chaotic and as Jasp said, there is no hook. If there was meant to be one its drowned out with so much going on. Like most Christina records, its just not pleasant or naturally melodic but for once thats not all down to Christina's vocals.

Lacks the simplicity and grace of anything Gaga would do. Her worst effort p!sses over this.

I just hope the video has a good dance routine. I read somewhere its got the same choreographer as Beyonce's Single Ladies.

My verdict - The song is not bad, but not great either.
The problem is that it's not memorable. I've listened to it twice and I don't care for it.

if I had to rank her 1st singles (genie, dirty, anom, kgb) it would be her WORST!

I'd also say its her worst lead off single as well. I detest ANOM but it does have a hook to at least save it. That said, the new songs not dire. I'd give it a 5/10 for the production alone. I just dont think I could listen to it again, there's no structure to it so it drags.

From TheProphet Blog:

It’s finally here! After being teased and taunted for the past two weeks, Christina Aguilera’s new single “Not Myself Tonight” has made it’s official premiere on the world wide web.

Produced by Polow Da Don and penned by Ester Dean, “Not Myself Tonight” is literally the club banger to end all club bangers. The song takes all the best parts from 90’s house music, urban beats and electro, and mixes them all together to create something cutting edge and fresh that’ll sound at home in the club, the car, the radio and about every other place you can possibly imagine playing it.

I can definitely hear elements of Lady GaGa in this, as well as a lot of Britney and some of Janet’s “Feedback”, but “Not Myself Tonight” is like GaGa on steroids and then multiplied. Christina does put her own stamp on the song though, mainly thanks to her powerhouse vocals which are often imitated but never duplicated.

Christina Aguilera is back and better than ever!

'Powerhouse vocals'? She's remarkably restrained on the song. What was he listening too?

and how is the song "cutting edge"?  the song is okay, but it ultimately sounds like something Madonna or Gaga would throw into the trash.

On Tuesday afternoon (March 30), Christina Aguilera took to her I Heart Radio channel to premiere "Not Myself Tonight," the first single from her upcoming Bionic album. And judging from the sound of the track, Bionic is a pretty fitting title for the project.

"Tonight" is a whirring, whooshing thing, full of blaring synthesizers and spare snares speeding along over pounding, four-on-the-floor beat. It's more of a classic house cut than anything else, the kind of track you'd expect to hear rattling the speakers at the massive, multi-level clubs of Europe. And on the song, Aguilera sounds like she's already on the dance floor.

"Tonight, I'm feeling a little bit out of control," she sings over curling electronic tendrils. "I'm dancing a lot/ Taking shots and I'm feeling fine/ Kissing all the boys and girls/ Someone call the doctor, 'cause I lost my mind."

"Tonight, I'm not the same girl/ I'm not myself tonight," she belts over the soaring chorus. "In the morning, when I wake up, I'll go back to the girl I used to be/ But baby, not tonight."

Toward the end of the song — which was produced by Polow Da Don and written by Ester Dean — Aguilera even gets to show off her patented vocal pyrotechnics, making several powerful vocal runs. And there's a sweaty, pulsing breakdown in which she pants and purrs ("Yeah, that feels good, I needed that") before the song fades out under the clatter of drums.

"Tonight" was prefaced by a rather robotic countdown on Aguilera's I Heart Radio channel, which featured an android repeating the title of the album while grinding electronic noises whirred in the background and some of Aguilera's earlier hits ("Genie in a Bottle," "Beautiful," etc.) were mixed into the fray. At the song's end, Aguilera asked fans to call in and let her know if they liked the track, before she decided to play the whole thing again.

Bionic is scheduled to hit stores June 8. In an interview earlier this year with Marie Claire magazine, Aguilera said the album "is about the future" and explained that the birth of her son, Max, served as inspiration for many of the songs.

With the song's premiere, we can probably put those "Iamamiwhoami" rumors to bed once and for all.

Uhh, Keeps Getting Better off of her GH album was better than this mess! Where's the hook? And the production sounds like it's lifted from one of those early 90s euro-disco songs.
