    When I hear her sing I get so happy! It is like how Whitney used to make me cry when i heard her sing lord jesus.

  • she sounds great singing Gospel...she should make a Gospel algum..I'd So buy it!

    her voice is like a Black womans...Christina ia awsome!!!!

    I really like her

  • one of my favourite songs! =]

  • Also i have watched like every live performance i can of CA's over time coz i'm a vocalist and i love to watch great vocalists but she seems quite messy to me. some things she does is cool but other times it's like 'you're not getting paid by the syllable STOP!'

  • Richie, don't change the subject. Now, here is what rock fans think of Mariah's so-called rock. She attempted to do a Def Leppard song, and not surprisingly it came out all popified:

    goddamn this cover is SHIT. There is fuck all emotion in it, it's just some whiney bitch who can't be arsed writing her own songs and tries to make money off it. My god, seriously - what kind of filth is this, she doesn't even know what she's singing, just just saying the words - godawful cover I'm telling you now.

  • LMAO. First, you don't even read well. I didn't say that comment. It was a quote from another person. Second, thanks for proving my point about her lack of versatility. She had to change it cause she don't have the goods to do rock.

    Third, your comments about range are completely irrelevant. This is, however, spoken like a true Mariah fantard. When all else fails, bring up her range.

    Fourth, you are so transparent and phony. You said Christina was great but now she "just growls."

  • lol besides, christina has managed a 4 octave a semitone range

  • for me this is the most perfect human being in the whole world :)

  • omg i completely agreeeee. its like, if i could play god for a day and completely create a person from scratch and create everyhthing about them, it would be a christina aguilera, everything about her is perfect.

  • it seems to me she forgot some of the lyrics in the chrorous <3

    lol

  • always the best!

    ♥

  • she's great, but the old christina misses me...the time of STRIPPED

  • fantastic performance!

  • i love this perfomrnace so mux

  • She is so good!! =D

  • Christina is a fabulous artist. Love her albums

  • I want one!! I want the album! Lol, great performance, man she's good!

  • go buy it

  • don't worry, i bought it xD

  • Love her

    amazing performance!

  • Looove her and her legendness!

  • jskymusicfan, I really don't think Christina does the riffs and oo-aa's to show off to audiences, rather - I think she just gets into the moment while singing. It's probably the same for you when you're practicing your own material in your bedroom or studio, etc, and you get carried away.

    I think over time, though, Christina will probably pull back a lot and be able to do what she does now but in a more simple way.

  • yeah dude, but your opinion means nothing here

  • lol so y take the time to reply to my comment?

  • because I like to spend my time with people who don't deserve it :)

  • LOVE the outfit!!!!

  • I thought "Man's World" had some good moments, but I thought she oversang there too. Another example is her cover of Donny Hathaway's gorgeous "A Song For You". Her singing is fabulous technically, but it's 90% showing off, 10% genuine soul. If you compare it with Donny's original, you can hear the diff. He was one of the best singers ever but doesn't need to bonk people over the head with belting and riffs on every note. That's what makes him a truly great artist. Just my 2 cents...

  • I agree that Cristina's vocal prowess is very impressive, but am I the only one here who thinks she strangled this song to death with oversinging? To me she always sounds like she's trying to prove something. It's true that the song seems to be written that way, but in my view that makes it boring. This is musical histrionics. CA still hasn't learned any dynamics - her technique is to hit people over the head with the belting from second 1.

  • i so totally don't agree :)

  • To see what I mean, check out some late 80's Whitney Houston or early 90's Mariah Carey and compare. WH and MC had similar vocal prowess to CA but they both understood how to use dynamics to build intensity throughout the song, not start belting from the very beginning. To me all 3 women are roughly equal in vocal ability but vintage WH and MC are superior musicians. For them it's more about the song than showing off. For CA it's the opposite.

  • i understand your point but i still don't agree. this song is supposed to be like this, it has a little something from the gospel vibe. she doesn't sing everything like this. there are songs more 'quiet' and balanced. obviously not the first album, it's all about the vocal skills ;) but since stripped she does know how to 'build' a song. besides, MC WH and CA are so different. they all have amazing powerful voices but still, i don't think they should be compared

  • oh, and i really don't know how can you say that there's nothing more to song than showing off for Christina. haven't you seen her crying during Oh Mother? or her Hurt performance on VMA? or Man's World on Grammys?

  • It's not that i think Cristina is ONLY showing off. I don't doubt that she can feel genuine emotion in a performance. But in general, I find her somewhat irritating to listen to since it feels like her #1 priority is to "blow people away" with her vocal chops. Her ego gets in the way of her musicianship in my view (if you don't think she has a huge ego, listen to "Thank You") on Back to Basics.) It's a shame, since she really does have a beautiful voice. But the ego ruins it a bit for me.

  • haha, i have nothing to say about her ego cause i just don't know her :P you seem to know her performances but how do you manage to listen to them since Christina irritates you so much? ;) i think we won't come to any conclusions cause none of us will change it's mind xD but it's not like i'm gonna hate you now cause you say something bad about CA, i'm not that age anymore :)

  • Well you have a point emilus! ;) How do I know all these performances if CA annoys me so much? I'm a singer myself so I like checking out people w/ great vocal chops. CA definitely has that. But the oversinging irritates me. Go figure... Anyway it's been nice having a civil discussion on one of these forums. So many people just want to insult those w/ diff. opinions. Kudos to us for being grown-ups, eh? ;)

  • yeah, i know, it's so weird that you don't throw all the bad words at me :P that's a disappointment...

    yep, everyone should look up to us ;)

  • ego, "than you"? what the heck are you talking about? she was sooo sweet for making a song for her fans, i'm not seeing what that has to do with her ego, btw when did you know her? you must know her cause you seem to know so much about her and what she feels about herself

  • and was christina who forced her fans to say that? i'm pretty sure they said that because that's what they feel about christina and her talent. i read she didn't even know the ppl who gave thei opinion abt her on "thank you" !

    "ahh yoo i wanna f*ck that girl tonight man yo, i know i'm the best and anyone can beat me yo yo yo", THAT'S terrible taste. that's music like that makes me sick, not christina's

  • thank you isnt all snippets of fans praising christina. she sings "don't go thinking i'm not thankful, cuz me, i've got my hands full of good things, and i hope i can give back a little bit of what you've given me, you give me all that i need. thank you for standing by me, thank you for being behind me, and letting others that know you still believe in what i'll be"

    those who think she's bragging don't understand her, she's thanking her fans for standing by her.. her fans know that.

  • jskymusicfan,

    Not really. Whitney and Mariah can't do even half of what Christina does. They are typical singers who just happen to be very good at one or two genres. Indeed, they were arguably better than Christina in their particular niche specialties, but Christina has miles more versatility. No one can reasonably deny that with a straight face.

    As to song delivery, that is just your style preference. That's about the most subjective thing you could ever use to gauge talent.

  • vocally both of them cant hold a match to Christina THESE DAYS

  • haha Xtina's great don't get me wrong but she is not as versatile as Mariah. Mariah has done pop, rock, R&B jazz, Blues, Gospel, and more. she's even entwined different genres into one. Try listening to some of Mariah's old stuff dude then you'll have an opinion that matters. If you have listened to Maraih's old stuff and still find yourself coming out with that bullshit, seek Medical attention.

  • Now, don't start trash talking if you are here to prove something. Please link me to an example of Mariah credibly singing a rock song, "credibly" meaning she actually rocks out rather than molding the song to fit her clearly limited pop voice.

  • in the future this performance will be seen as a legend, these vocals are not often seen.

  • I'm not sure if you guys agree but I feel this song arrangement is reminiscent of Mariah Carey's song "Make it Happen". Actually I feel she is a hybrid of the mucical persona of Madonna and Mariah Carey.

  • Dancing performers are so 90's. Get back to basics and belt that shit out; next get rid of backup dancers.

  • no not really. so many performers are still doing it. such as ciara and janet jackson and more.

  • Well, half of your argument proved my point, but applies more to the '80s, lol.

  • Don't ya think it would ruin her&her songs if she were to dance while singing?! Most of her songs were never meant to be danced to. Her music is not Britneys music. It's much more different than that. She duznt dance cuz she has all her energy in her voice. Lets see U DANCE & SING Like THIS! Christina is doin fine not dancing. Yall should be complaing that britney doesn't sing like this. Not that christina can't dance like brit. Use ur brains :]

  • At the end of the day, christina probably doesn't dance cos she uses all her energy for her amazing singing. Britney won't be arsed about that, as her voice doesn't change either way...plus half the time she's lip-syncing!

  • I'm Wondering if Britney could sing this

    xD

    Bravo Christina =)

  • you wrote : britney Had a good voice!

    I think: Britney had never a good voice! she can a bit sing, yes, but she can't sing with the feeling like Christina and with so much power in her voice!

  • Christina SEEMS LIKE SHE CAN REALLY DANCE WELL.

    But her top priority is SINGING

    i think that's why she doesn't that much during the performance.

  • dancing can be learned,if you notice ALL of britney's dancing rutins are choreographed so how does that make her an amazing dancer?but a a voice like Christian's,you're either lucky and are born with it or you are not,that's it.Britney had a normal voice like everyone else in the world,even when her fans brag that she has a "good"voice,her voice was just another in a billion,nothing special.shes the product of smart advertising.

  • great voice!!!

  • awesome live performer...her voice turns me on...and i'm a chick!!! LOL

  • Why could't she sing this good at the AMAS.

    This took my breath away!

  • it's good song

    about praying...!!!

  • she one of the only artists who sings better live

  • excelente..... todas sous presentaciones son lo maximo!

  • sooo good and pure!

    That cd is awesome tho

  • I´m speechless...*starts crying*

  • Legend.Period.

  • Wish more artists could sing LIVE as cristina

    good voice

    peace! =P

  • I hear no problem with Christina's voice :S

  • She is (obvious) the best.

    Ella es (obviamente) la mejor.

  • the one and only "christina aguilera"... THE PERFECT HUMAN BEING!!!... a talented person, a beautiful person inside and out, a good example, a lovable wife, a good mom, a great dancer, a good singer, a best actress, a famous person, a good composer, a good writter, and so on!!! """PERFECT"""

  • totally agree *.*

  • I don't have words how much power she is giveing me,only hearing her voice...

  • it seems she didn't had the chance to warm up enough her vocal chords. She sounds like that but she is still the best singer I've ever heard, lots of singers sing without warming up the vocal chords and they do well. Don't be that hard on christina's performance. SHE IS THE BEST ANYWAYS!

  • I don't understand. Her voice is superb here. It sounds better than her Stripped days and the B2B Concert on DVD.

    This is what Christina's voice sounds like, rested and at it's best.

  • believe me I DO LOVE CHRISTINA AGUILERA so I just said what I said because I wanted to defend her. You can notice she is having a little trouble with the high notes because of the little warming up of the vocal chords. But that does not mean she is a bad singer. She is an excellent singer, vocalist and performer. I just lover her!!

  • WOW no-one can beat her superb voice, GO XTINA!

  • i love it how she took risks, i bet her record company was less than enthusiastic with this unusual potentially unpopular musical style. she s cool!

  • LA MEJOR!!!!!!!!

    THE BEST!!!!!!!!

  • great song

  • u make me wanna get down and pray christina!!!!

  • She is the best singer ever!!

  • ella es la best

    contante del mundo

    bye bye

    Marlyn

  • she's the best ever... nobody can bet her....Luv her... Keep it up Christina....

  • preciosa presentación.

    tan sencilla y llena de poder.

  • Look britney:this a true artist!who knew how to control her life!

  • I love you, Christina!!

  • omg...her voice....*standing ovation* she's a legend in herself alr.

  • Her voice could stop a bus.

    Love her.

    Best song on 'Back to Basics' by the way. Glad I finally saw a performance on YouTube.

  • one of the best!!

  • Questo è blues\gospel. Ciao

  • her best performence

  • wow, she really hit it from the very first start. amazing, she' getting better and better.. i love her!!!!

  • Her voice is absolutely phenomenol. And I love her dress sense, how smart and classy!

  • Look Britney: This is a real singer.

  • though i support you I think people should stop this absurd comparison...Britney may not sing or may sing..who cares...as long as Christina keeps on being the great human she is, everything will be fine

  • Look Britney: This is a real singer.

  • the more i watch here, the more i respect her. She sets the trend for other young singers like Leona Lewish to learn from. And she is so together in her personal life, unlike the Brittanys of the world.

  • what a powerful voice...what an amazing performance...I love you Christina!! :)

  • Amazing performance - best voice of our generation. She is truly talented.

  • WOAH shes good :)

  • GOOSEBUMPS....shes so amazing. damn she had her voice here 100%. such a badass! and wtf her hair is just unfair. goooorgeous.

  • She kilt that performance! I don't care she can't she with a stronge voice live! Thats raw! To me she is one of the best vocalist out now!

  • I believe that all that "yelling and gimmicks" are the attractive, her voice is almost everything and I really like the way she sings

  • Just amazing!

    Great live presentation!

  • Christina is learning to be able to tell when a song requires her "kitchen sing and all" approach or not. However even on the album on which this song appears, she also delivers one of the most stirring barebones vocals ever (Save Me From Myself). This song, being a knock down, drag out, old school old ladies falling out gospel inspired track almost forced a bombastic approach.

  • Ive always loved xtina since the beginning when everyone love Britney.  Xtinas is a one of a kind, no one out there like her.

  • thee queen of queens :)

  • she's the best. she really understood the real sense of making good music.

  • i love christina aguilera's outfit!its so cute i freakin love it!in real life she is so small and has a amazing,big and soulful voice!i love her!

  • and to think she was four months pregnant at the time

  • It's so funny because she so tiny but then she sings and it's like this huge powerhouse voice lol. amazing performance

  • love herrrrrrr

  • I've been saving my "Concert Virginity" for Christina. Still haven't lost it - gonna wait until College is over. :D

    LOVE HER.

  • Love her!

  • that was on my bday 2!!very charming girl with some style and an AMAZING voice!it changes from the other pretending artist!

  • haha that was on my bday

  • WOW, this is so good!

    love herrrrr.

  • Does anybody know who those guys are that are dancing with her?

  • I think is Gilbert and Paul, two of her longtime dancers. I met her dancers when they came to see a movie at the movie theatre I was working at in high school (this is during the Stripped tour, like the day before I went to see her in New Orleans).

  • OMG THAT WAS SOOO GOOD!

  • Woah

  • daaaammnnnnn shes got someeeeeeee styleee

    i luffff the bitchhh <3<3

  • <333333333

  • OMG!!!!!
