She could've said, ""Just imagining my classic songs like 'Beautiful' or 'Dirrty' and my more recent songs from my album 'Liberation' with an orchestra, and that power behind it, is so special," she adds.

confession part II: 'Stripped' is and will probably always be her magnum opus, but by continually mentioning songs from that album she relegates herself to being something from the past rather than an active artist.
As much as Christina says she doesn’t care about the charts or mainstream success, I always felt her attitude was contradictory. Liberation wasn’t really a “flop”, but it wasn’t a big success either, so she’s less inclined to speak about it as favorably or regularly as her hit songs or albums. It’s the same with Lotus.
Dirrty is a flop by US standards but she talks about it more and performs it more often than her #1 hits like Genie, WAGW, COOB.

LTBL is her go-to song from Lotus, which had Just a Fool and Your Body, which actually charted.

She loves performing Bionic (song) from her most critically panned album.

I do believe that she wasn't really "feeling" Lotus as I assume it was just a studio-crafted album, and Liberation. To Irving: "Here's your album"
Dirrty flopped on the charts but the iconography of the video solidified her brand and made her a global superstar. It was similar to how Madonna’s Erotica flopped but is one of the most iconic moments of her career.
