On June 6 , 2010 , Aguilera performed " Bionic " for the first time at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , held at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles , California . There , she sang the track as the introduction to " Not Myself Tonight " and " Woohoo " . During the performance of " Bionic " , she sported curly platinum hair and was dressed in a " diamond-encrusted one-piece " while sitting on a " gilded throne " . Caryn Ganz from '' Rolling Stone '' opined that the way Aguilera began the performance was similar to Madonna during the latter 's Sticky & Sweet Tour ( 2008 &ndash; 09 ) . Then , Aguilera walked on the stage and " leather-clad " back-up dancers in silver and black outfits began to perform a dance routine . The performance was met with mainly negative reviews and failed to gain impact from media outlets . Tamar Anitai for MTV Buzzworthy was not impressed toward her performance , summarizing it " was all about her " I-I 'm - still-a-diva " vocals , frenzied stage show , and adult-only innuendo ... And then this happened " . In a positive view , James Montgomery for MTV News praised her looking as " a 23rd-century queen " and the show " got millions of people all hot and bothered "
