Promotion
Promotion started on September 7, when Aguilera performed at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards in Hollywood. She previewed the remade version of her first single "Genie 2.0" and later performed the lead single of the compilation, "Keeps Gettin' Better". Aguilera started her promotional tour on October 11, performing at the UK leg of the Thisday Africa Rising at the London's Royal Albert Hall, where she performed several old hits and the lead single of the greatest hits album. In late October, she was supposed to tour Eastern Europe, holding concerts in Moscow, Riga and Kiev. Instead, she held two concerts in Kiev, Ukraine, on October 20 and 21. The last date was held on October 24 in Abu Dhabi at the Emirates Palace Hotel. On November 23 Aguilera promoted the greatest hits album by performing at the 36th Annual American Music Awards. She opened the show with a seven-minute medley of her greatest hits, which included "Beautiful", "Keeps Gettin' Better", "Genie in a Bottle", "Dirrty", "Ain't No Other Man" and "Fighter".

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
