I think Brian was trying to tell Christina to pick it up the emotion in her voice. that's a great song and deserve a great performance by the best and she started out behind. So Brian was saying take it up a notch.
They really do have a lot of respect for each other, saying it was a competition between the two isn't fair in my opinion. They compliment each other so well, it's hard to rift like that and they're the best in the business at it; vocally, just great.
Don't attack me, but this wasn't a duet it was a duel. Neither one of them wanted the other to get the last note. Like them both individually, but sometimes two great tastes don't go great together. They're not peanut butter and chocolate; more like peanut butter and pizza...
CHRISTINA AGUILERA & BRIAN McKNIGHT GOT OFF ON THIS CHRISTMAS SONG-I CAN BAKE ALL NIGHT PLAYING THAT SONG-THEY LIT THE XMAS LIGHTS UP!!! (FROM LAKERTIME)
I would know what to say back to you if I ACTUALLY understood any of what you just said but apparently you aren't educated enough to speak correct English. So maybe you shouldn't be on the computer until you get a better education. K. Thanks. Bye!
I think she would beat him NOWDAYS but not back here. and this is chistina's song(on the album but not originally??). I think they sound great together.
She always has to sound better rather than even it... Notice how Brian tries to adlib to her bullshit that they didn't practice before-hand... A duet's a duet not 2 individual solo's.... Sorry Chistina 1 star for u and the other 4 for Brian!!
I agree - artists like Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston sometimes forget that we want to hear them sing a song - not sing a million riffs and arpeggios.
Agreed with both of you. On top of that, she thinks she is all that. She may have a good voice, but she doesn't really respect the other artist in any duet nor does she compliment on their voices. Brian, on the otherhand, can duet well with anyone and make the song gold.
at least you must reach high C# for do it, you must reach it wihtout problem..but there is nothing speacial. just changing to falsetto when u are singing high C is kinda hard.
I don't think Brian was holding back, I don't think one is necessarily better than the other. Both are fantastic, Brain belting in the same key as Christina is pretty impressive.
they're both amazing but im sorry brain in untouchable, christina could not top him ever.. He was holding back, though i do know she could do this better now.
In some points I agree but I'd like to see them performing together nowdays because christina was only 19 or 20 or whatever in this and her voice wasn't that deep like today.
Yeah, i understand, i would want them to re record this because he sounds the same and she has become a lot better. I do still dont think that she could touch him but eventually she will. Brian Just has so much control, but again so does chistina now, but back then he was deff outshinning her a little, and if he was to give it his all like her he probably would have deff outshinned her even more
when you speak about the past I agree but nowdays christinas voice is much stronger and deeper thas it was in here and I could imagine that christina would have to hold herself back hehe.
christina has a louder voice than brian, both very talented, her songs someday would be song by someone someday,but no one will be able to sing brian songs with his technique becayse he is one of a kind
Uh this was like 4 yr ago . you should hear her now! You a obviously an amature because you dont even keep up to date with atrists. Wow i feel sorry for you. O and brian doesnt even come close to Christina. Sorry
Cristina is a trained singer where as Brian is a God gifted singer. He was put here to sing. Kinda like a Corvette vs a Ferrari. Corvette may be faster at times but Ferrari specializes in Speed. Chevy? well you know the rest. Just like with the Ferrari vs Vette ,For the pure singer i'd go with B-Mcknight any day.
First of all it is "Christina" with an "h" and second, all singers get some sort of vocal coaching when they're trying to further their potential. Christina has been a brilliant singer since infancy, learning how to sing on her own by listening to Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, and by also listening to her grandmother's blues, jazz, and soul records.
y'know thats so true. Remember that scene in Sound of Music when Julie Andrews is singing dig whistle range in the field, surrounded by naked men with shitty hair and assless chaps?
How can the Academy overlook her for that? It's a cinematic crime is what it is
JayT98- Brian McKnight has taken lessons for years with the holy grail of vocal coaches Seth Riggs. He is more manufactured than christina...he can sing better imho.
