  • how come a 19 years old little white girl could have that 30 years old big black woman's voice???? I'M JEALOUS !!!!

  • Yes Christina you love singing the blues and soul but at the same time you are also polluting that beautiful genre of music. We true lovers of the soul and blues beg you to stop butchering this music especially this wonderful and divine Etta James' "At Last." You can do all your "Yahee Yahee Yahee" and "Hah Haah Haah" and "Yayee Yayee" for some of your own songs. What the real soul singers have you will never have. You just know how to sing runs for the sake of stylish singing,That aint soul.

  • She looks like she's 16 years old but sings like a damn adult singer with a fully matured voice

  • Christina é a melhor. :)

  • .......I love this song....but not the way she "sings" it....sorry xtina lovers

  • shiny BOOBIES

  • It's amazing all the soul that comes out of this child, BLESSED!

  • love listenin to christinas later version of this song and how much better it is.. shows how much her voice developed over the years :) incredible!

  • beyonce did good on this song but her voice has no personally she just sings but no soul

    Christina puts her heart i to it with a lot of soul , close your eyes and at some parts it's like etta singing it ..wow

    they both have great voice and different voice so there is nothing to compare but the delivery of the song!! and to me Christina did the best!!

  • beyonce has a diffrent kind of voice, so they shouldn't be compare. they both are amazing singers.

  • i LOVE her so much,and i love her singing on her OWN songs,but when she sings songs like this,she does oversing and kind of ruin it.

  • Beyonce não se compara com a version de Christina Aguilera. Xtina é a melhor!♥

  • I like her singing this song she really puts the pipes and soul behind this one I remember the first time I saw her sing this song I was blown away when she like first came out

  • Just stop saying she ruined the song. Please. My dear God.

    She did not ruin this song. She did it in a way that fit her voice. That's what anyone that does a "cover" of a song does.

  • @BrookeBoundless I agree it dose fit her voice when people do covers they at times find ways to make it there own why people do not understand that I will never know lol

  • WE GET IT . YOU CAN SING . i like beyonce's version better , but they both would never compare the one and only herself . 

  • hmm i like xtina's version. it's new and it fits her style of singing, BUT i like bey's better because bey kept it simple and she added a special feeling to it, plus even though i love xtina, she did just lil bit too much to this song. but like i said it fit her style of singing or how she sings. but um have a merry xmas everyone:)!!!

  • I wish I could, Do all that!!! :D

  • NO!!! Beyonce did it justice, Etta's was obviously the best, but Christina has ruined it. I don't deny she is an amazing singer... but she totally missed the beauty of the song, she overdid it. By a long way. This song is all about the simplicity and she took a big risk... it did not pay off!!!

  • @starfish715 Doesn't Beyonce use those echoes in the BG? Why?

  • @starfish715 yeah right. etta james herself love christina and etta james can't stand beyonce it was on the news and you can find it on youtube lol. check it out.

  • i think tht christina is the best singer ever!!!!! <333333 XD

  • i love her because she's not afraid to just be raw and let go. ;)

    Paris Lo in las vegas

  • she cut a whole chunk of the song out.

  • BLOND AMBITION HAIR STYLE.. lol..

    SHE'S GREAT!!!

  • she over did it i like beyonce better

  • She ruined the song.

  • @1944jhd yeah right.

  • I was just thinking about this song. I know Christina is a great singer but she did over sing it wit the runs, and extra stuff. This is such a nice sing. I know she'd do a better job if she would just sing it like its suppose to be.

  • @msbudafli no because that would be boring and who wants to be like everyone else? not someone who has true talent. i love it. original nice too, but this amazing. and has flavor,and a performer having so much fun with a song and nailing it so fun to watch and listen to the uniqueness

  • she killed this song for me.... so sad.

  • i like her but i feel like she tried to over sing it and it backfired!!

  • She is amazing!!!

  • when u skip throught throught it u just here the cadtin on note barely even a real word O_O

  • i like it when artists have inspirtations to sing their songs!!

  • she doesn't feel the blues! she killed that song, even though she has a great voice.

  • @Gigglinggirl

    Wow you know it's not funny when you have to explain your jokes to us.

  • i reckon if you'd have found a thrill to press your cheek to juscurious, then, I reckon you'd sing the f@#$ out of this song too.... pretty awesome stuff Christina

  • She butchers this classic song. She really over does it with the vibrado and is shrill. The classic is smooth like the way Etta does it. This hack needs to stay away from this song just like that other hack Beyonce. Leave this song to the grown ups. The only other version of this classic I've ever liked is Eva Cassidy's version with just her guitar. Etta's classic and Eva's cover with the guitar only are great. This girl needs to learn to sing.

  • I respect Cristina, but just listen to Ms. Maja Keuc - an 18 year old performer from Slovenia (Maribor), which at famous show SLOVENIA GOT TALENT at the end got 2nd. To me, she sings even better then Christina Aguilera. Or leas as good as the original Ms. Etta James!

  • It's no doubt that she was a voice. Damn does she have a voice. But I think she ruins the song by adding all that ridiculous extra stuff. Just fucking sing it. Geezus.

  • too much didnt like it

  • i find christinga over did it with all the ornamentation and runs here, she has power and a similar quality to etta, but i think beyonce kept it nice and clean and understandable with the right amount of runs and growls.

  • @rodystudent Seriously just sing it already. We know the words give it up with the oooohhhhh, wooooo, ahhhh, blah.

  • Nuurh ''I love you too'' :D

  • this is a mess no one does it better than Etta James

  • i just love the ay she do that short laugh.. and she give me goosebupms everytimes she sings. she´s the best vocalist singer EVER! i hope she do tour here europe soon..

  • Beyonce ain't nowhere CLOSE to THIS

  • Have you notice,when she started singing this song, then everybody wanted to sing it.She sang this song the best other than Etta James.

  • TOO MUCH!!! i can't understand what she's singing!!! really too much!!!

  • I'm waiting for her to drop a jazz album, because this girl is going to turn it out...she hasn't even scratch the surface of all the music genre that she can sing...go 'head Xtine...do the damn thang!!!

  • I actually really hate this. Christina Aguilera has an amazing voice, and she can break it on down with the jazz, but she pushed way too hard on this, as she does every time she sings it. Etta would hit her for botching this.

  • WOW!!!

    Saw *Cadillac Records* last weekend, and POOR Beyonce--and EVERYONE else who think they're in YOUR category--YOU got Janis Joplin PIPES chile!!!

  • I think Christina has a beautiful voice, but she held and altered the notes a bit much for my liking in this song

  • overdone Christine.--just my opinion. What would Etta say about this Cover??

  • @maof2nanaof5

    Etta once said that only Christina could top her interpretation of "At Last"

  • She's kinda...childish - and what's up with the outfit?

  • @DaniloMith

    thats in 2000. so ya 10 yrs ago.

  • i know she tries to make it a lil bit her style but still i think she overdoes it...tho i do like Christina as a singer and i also like Beyonce a lot.

  • Not perfect but still a great performance. I LOVE  the way she sings "mine"! I don't know why people make it sound like she's a bad performer. She's so passionate and confident.

  • In your dreams :D

  • @HotChiCa82

    please this girl sang this song her way

  • Girl has so much soul! People stay mad cuz she's got more soul than 85% of the current R&B stars. Christina has grown up listening to blues, jazz and soul records since she was a little girl and is not trying to front like Beyonce, who knew Etta was never someone she looked up to.

  • haha thats so cool u can c her abs scrunchingg when she sings..

  • @devilhearts21 U r suppose to sing from your tummy

  • @Damon2743

    I don't think so. She sings it great.

  • she has growen sience she song that song I have her stripped dvd and sounds alot more mature now her voice fits the song now she is older

  • love her voice but way to oversing a song man!!!!

  • WHAT A VOICE

  • @DAVEY500MUSIC i know she doesn't mess around she saaaNGSzzz

  • its too much.....

  • too many riffs but a WAY better job than Beyonce... you can hear the SOUL of the song through her unlike Beyonce version

  • and again...THANK YOU!!!...i dunno why everyone can comment on everything but the soul in the blues...

  • exactly.. but then again.. most of these ppl commenting don't know anything about blue or the orgins of soul and blues.. unfortunately a lot of it is lost with the rifts but if you have a trained ear unlike 90% of the ppl commenting... you can hear what the song is meant to do

  • "meant to do"...exactly, that's the difference between doing a rendition and making the song your own...even if it isn't...your version isn't just a version, it's your own!...few people can recognize the emotion that ought to come through...

  • i like your input and you ability to know what blues and soul truly is. I also appreciate you and your ability to hear what is meant to be heard. Thank you

  • :) thank you so much...so nice to hear from someone who can recognize how close a good song is to a good book :)...

    nice exchanging thoughts with you...

  • Same here.. wish more ppl could recognize and hear music. Have a good day :)

  • thanks...you too :)

  • She's trying too hard.

  • It was more like she was suffering but she's got the most powerful voice.

  • Shes is amazing!!!! But her lastest version of this song is the best I have ever heard!!!

  • I think maybe her mic was turned up too loud and the arrangement was spare. You could barely hear them through most of the song.

  • Um. Not as good as she is now. Too overdone, still powerful though :O

  • O.O

    AHAHAHHHA

  • whats that mean?

  • Shes one of the best singers i know.

    Lol i do that with my fingers when i perform too lmfao it gives you some sort of power,lmfaoo its hard to explain.

  • how can such a powerful ass singing voice come out of such a small soft spoken girl!!???? its amazing ^_^.... its cuz she from pittsburgh ^_^

  • i swear her and mariah carey wit dat hand quivery voice thng lol

  • I get dizzy when I heard she sing..to muchh improv the "oo..uuhh...ouwhhoo..yeii yeiiye..ye..yeaahhhh...whooa..­.woouuw...wouuw....ye...ahhhh.­." thing

  • beautifully done!

  • its better stripped tour version but is good to

  • ok so t all of you who keep sayng that she screams er songs its not that at all. she is very talented and with a voice like hers why wouldnt you wanna show it off. and hats what she does.

  • If she has the ability to sing those notes, then why not scream?? ^^."

  • jetzt sing sie es besser aber sie war damals erst 18.... siehatte diese stimme schon immer

  • This is when she wa slike 18....This isnt her best rendition of the song....its miles better during her STRIPPED days.

  • she was 20 here

  • she look like 18 or 17

  • Its a big mistake to do such a serious song with these clothes on!!!

  • what wrong with her clothes?

     it's not like she dressed from the Lady Marmalde video.

  • she's dressed like a bubble gum pop princess

  • yea so, what does that have to do with singing a serious song???

  • uh..that bubble gum pop princesses dont sing serious songs...most of them dont have the voice to sing them...get it?

  • actually christina used to be a bubble gum pop princess in her early days ;-) thats the image her former management created for her to merchandise her. yet the fact that she sang this song back then shows that she's always had her own personality, it just took some time til she could develop herself. the stripped album shows how she really is <3 christina 4ever :-)

  • @melblue87 yeah, with the baby voice and all

  • absolutely NO.

  • ur opinion

  • lol yu have to listen to her stripped tour version this is horrible compared to it beyonce aint got nothing on christina singin this song lol.

  • GREAT HAIR DO!

  • Personally, i belong to this group of ppl that like Christina because she is a hto babe. Neverthelles, she has a great voice also.

    However, i thing she is a victim of this late-years-US-trend to sing like "a-oo-oo-uuu-ohhhh-yieahhh--ou­uuuuu-aiaiaia-ooooo", which is a bit 2 much.

  • I hate the "Woah-o-o-o-o" thing she does, it's really annoying. She has the voice to sing the song perfectly but I don't care for the way she sings it.

  • I love her! If I could meet her it would be so great because she's been an inspiration to me since I was 11 years old :D

  • i think that she overdid this song a tad much...shes is awsome but i think she overdid it.

  • she's soo sexy you rock chick

  • shes so cute. love her.

    shes so lucky to be blessed that voice

  • I love this!

    I'm singing this song too. Please watch it on my channel, and comment!

    Thank you!

  • damn that girl can sing! go christina!

  • Her voice is the best voice to have ever graced the music business. Whitney could NEVER do what Christina does, not even in her prime, and everyone knows that. Mariah in her prime was amazing, equally amazing, but in a different way, let's be serious, Christina aguilera is the voice of my generation and the best voice in music, ever.

  • Whitney could do so much more at her peack!

    Just listen to her old stuff live, and especially the gospel one.

    Mariah and Whitney were amazing at their respective peacks.

    Xtina is also amazing,but not as great I think.

  • different...but xtina comes more from the blues than whitney and mariah...whitney could never do the blues like she does...

  • yes you're so right..and if somebody wannts to deny that and bring an argument

  • i love christina, but you have got to be kidding. without whitney, there would be no christina.

  • yes thisis way too much mojulation... i dont even know what she said

  • I love her but hate the runs!!!! Dont do that so much please!

  • she's a great singer, but this is AWFUL!! waaaay too much shit.. you lose the song and the melody. NOT good for the listener!!!!

  • she is beautiful and has one of the strongest voices in the world .. and you are criticizing? if someone find a singer in her age at that time that she sings better I love to see but to have that perfect voice, she abused a bit of screaming, she was improving as more time, Im sure, I love you so much Christina !!

  • No one sings better than her, not now, now then.

  • I love her so much but this one was too much. Oversung; over whooo!! whhaaa and yeahhh!!!! It has nothing to do with the original.desappointing .This is a flaw she has always had : over everytrhing...

    Sorry Chris, you know I love you!!!!!

  • don't you think she oversings everything...it is such a shame

  • i agree. she needs to chill on teh vocal runs

  • Comment removed

  • fuck... this sucks

  • What are you all talking about - she looked beautiful.

  • is this before the silicones?

  • this was almost her exact UK speech lmao. but yeah i love this song sang by her . her voice is so beautiful.

    does anyone agree that she talks in a sweet fake high voice so that people can be stunned that its so powerful when she sings?

  • hell nah

  • I love her, but I couldn't watch this whole performance. She just looks a little fugly here. Sorry but true.

  • It's true, this kinds look didn't fit her at all. I'm glad she broke out of this.

  • Know what? She needs to figure out WHY she let her stylist(s) dress her, do her hair, and put on the makeup the way she did. She looks much better now.

    Performance: too much of too much.

  • Yep - I completely agree. You'd think with as much money etc they entrust their stylists with, people like her would actually look good, but this is just ICK! to me.

  • she looks horrible!

  • But she sounds amazing.

  • Espectacular video.

  • Christina looked way better back than.

  • I love her voice, I love her body, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER!♥

  • I like the performance in UK better...

    much much better..

    this is crap =)

  • yeah voice is amazing but where is the song??I am a big fun of her and this song,like her voice so much but this one is overly done I can not hear a song coming out simply at all?It all about her oversingin scales

  • Ha nazancelen " but where is the song" nicely put...

    I didn't mind the acrobatics as much as you did, but you have a point. listened to the original Etta James and see what you mean. "Making it your own" and "rendition" shouldn't mean changing it completely. Like another melody... Like Eva Cassidy's version of "Over The Rainbow" has become the new standard - no one seems to know the original Judy Garland anymore. I like CA mentioning and giving EJ credit though, that is respectful and correct.

  • This is garbage. I'm so glad she's improved immensely.

  • SHe'd still look trashy in a snow suit. haha Britney's even more disgusting. "XTina" can sing, Britney sounds like a drunk 40 yr old prostitute on karaoke night.

  • omg, her voice is so amazing! love her. her speakvoice is so brave and her singingvoice sooo ...unbelievebel

  • how are you gonna judge someone like that, she was 19..A TEENAGER PRACTICALLY, give her a break

  • She sings with so much confidence...

  • que pintas

  • she was so young at the time. Watch her performance "It's a mens world" at the Grammys. She owns the stage completelly!

  • This performance versus more recent ones shows how much she's matured as a singer. All that cheap pop star trilling is gone- along with so much more control and power now. That gospel rattle sounds good on a powerful gospel singer but it's gotten old in every cheap wannabe. In eight years- Christina grew up, took lessons, finished growing physically, It takes years to make a great singer. In another 8, maybe she'll quit this pop crap.

  • It could be Jingle Bells or Old Man River.....who can tell. Horrible.

  • if you type her name and the title at last I think there's a better version of her singing it. at least If anything she better now then in the past and I wish I could sing like her still

  • lol w3i4 - cruel but funny and unfortunately true. She certainly can sing but it's TOO MUCH!

  • its so weird seein how much bigger her voice had got from this performance to her stripped one of this song

  • 10/10 for technical ability, 1/10 for artistic merit. Yuk!

  • love the song

  • The Key player is my bestest friend Alex Alessandroni who went on to play with Pink and Nelly Furtado just to name two and Christina should be very proud to have had such musical royalty in her band...WE LOVE YOU ALEX!!!

  • She's amazing.

    There's nothing else to be said.

  • i wish she would just sing the damn song. she has the voice for it but that really does mess up the song with all that mess.. she should do it on her songs but not classic beautiful songs like that..
