Christina Aguilera Philippines Launches 'Lotus'

To say that the 'Lotus' album launching in the Philippines was successful is an understatement. It was a resounding success in many aspects. For one, it has gathered the biggest crowd ever for a Christina Aguilera album launch event (at least in the Philippines). After the event, Odyssey Live announced that Christina Aguilera's Lotus managed to beat One Direction's album sales (previous record-holder) on a single day. This makes Lotus the best-selling album on its launch date in the country. Not bad!

So here's how the venue looked like. As you could see, aside from tarpaulins and banners, there are makeshift pink Lotus flowers and pink balloons. Game and raffle prizes, which consist of Christina Aguilera albums and magazines, were on the table as well. Songs from Lotus were played non-stop that you'd get LSS. It was hosted by Christina Aguilera Philippines' stalwarts Vincent, Merlito, et al.

Some of the games played include Pictionary, Pinoy Henyo, and several other group games. I was lucky enough to be handpicked to participate in the Pinoy Henyo game but I lost. I got a CD as a consolation prize. Not bad! I had fun anyway.


Then they also had a raffle draw where winners received limited edition Christina Aguilera CDs and magazines. One of my new found friends was lucky to have won a 2012 W Magazine where Xtina was featured on the cover.

Yes, Odyssey has provided a CD rack dedicated only to Christina Aguilera's 'Lotus' album. Stocks were moving so fast resulting in an impending Lotus album shortage.


To those who were not able to come or were shy to attend the event, here's what I have to say. I didn't know anybody from the event personally but the hosts were so nice and accommodating. They would treat you like you've been friends with them for a long time already. It was nice being with the company of fellow Fighters.

All in all, the event was so successful that everybody went home happy...Odyssey staff, the hosts, Christina Aguilera Philippines, and the Filipino fighters themselves. I only hope that they always come up with events like this every time Christina Aguilera achieves a major milestone in her career.


Congratulations again to everyone who made this event possible. Kudos to all! You all made Christina Aguilera proud.
