Christina Aguilera - A Song For You @ Ellen Show

[GonVaz333]

monika717 with all the respect in the world.... U Are Wrong.... B's technique is the same one of another black rnb singer... That makes it common... Christina has her own technique... Cause she isn't a trained singer.... So, rare people can cover her songs and do it good... In other hand Christina is a belter, she belts properly, B screams, that's why she sounds over raspy and short in her belts...

[xXOmusicaOXx]

This is the best version of this AMAZING song!!! ♥

[MsTreysongz1]

SHE SINGS SO SOFTLY BUT HER VOICE IS SO STRONG..AMAZING CHRISSI

[BBBYpsi]

love this song & love the way the carpenters & Donny Hathaway did it. The problem with Christina is she has a great voice but does way to many riffs sometimes a great song you just sing it. To me this version is aweful.

[monika717]

She ain't NO BEYONCE! NO comparison!!!Beyonce's version way better!Beyonce's way better than Christina

[kellyanne61]

@monika717 That is only a matter of opinion.

[monika717]

@kellyanne61 No actually is a FACT.If you know music, l like I do, you can see Beyonce outruns Christina by far vocally!

[kbaker2011]

@monika717 No it isn't a matter of a FACT! Beyonce is a fantastic singer.. but she can't belt like Christina can.. and he upper register isn't as good as Christina's either.

[monika717]

@kbaker2011 LOL No, her upper register is way better than Christina's!

[QueenOfDreamsXxX]

@monika717 No it's not, Beyoncé always plays it safe, easy low key notes and never tries to push it all over the edge, while Christina gives everything, every performance. And Bee uses autotune a lot.

[kbaker2011]

@monika717 People can redo Beyonce songs and sounds just as good as she can.. but people cannot redo a Christina song and sound as good as she can.. and that is a matter of a FACT whether you like it or not.

[monika717]

@kbaker2011

No, actually NO ONE can redo Beyonce's songs and sound as good as she does.You should study music and I mean the technical part and then talk!

[kbaker2011]

@monika717 First off, that is something that I do is study music. Snd study the technical part of music.. when I know what i'm talking about and you don't. a couple of people off of the top of my head who sound very similar to Beyonce: Melanie Amaro, and Vonzell Solomon. Especially Vonzell. She can sound very much like her and just as powerful. Like I was trying to say, people can cover Beyonce songs and sound the same. I've never heard someone cover a Christina song and sound as

[kbaker2011]

@monika717 powerful and rich as she does. Christina has more technique in her voice than any other singer out there. She's unique. Beyonce isn't that unique. Shes great at what she does, but other people can do what she does. Haven't heard somebody similar to her before. That's my point.

[MsTreysongz1]

@monika717 LOL AND YET YOU ARE ON CHRISTINA VERSION !!

[jacTheRipOff]

song for you by the carpenters... butchered

[elferi]

Did she forget the lyrics at 1:05?

[joao15503]

saying that lady gaga have musical talent it´s just so wrong in so many ways that is even stupid to argue about it. maybe she knos how to give a show but she dont sing music, she have good voice but what she sings is really not music.

[mondospectre]

She just brings it. Period.

[dienglee]

Boy! All you fucking haters!!! You love to bash people! You all have no talent so you gain justification for your meaningless, shitty existence from bashing incredibly talented people like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, or Christina Aguilera.

SHAME ON ALL OF YOU LOSERS!!!

[cherylbeee]

this song is epic and she an be, too...but i gotta say you need to go to Leon or Ray to really hear this

[onlooker510]

Missy, This is a great song, you should slow it down and show the BEAUTY of the vocal range you have. Remember, this is a LOVE SONG and one of the best written ever. My opinion.

[HuasoPodrido]

She has no soul for this classic song. She just belts it out like a bad cabaret singer.

[mxkn0wles]

The fact she keeps pulling her microphone away as she sings annoys me...

[paraguayrules]

oh hai, 240p! how's it hangin'?

[TheMrsGunn]

She did an amazing job!

[1analuisas]

I totally imitate her in the mirror all the time. She is LEGEND!

[madelinect]

It's amazing how people love to say oh this person is better than Christina and all. Geez just apperiate her vocals. Christina Aguilera this is such a great song you did and glad Herbie Hancock & u did a duet. You have so much soul in your voice when u sing. Your amazing and can't wait to see you back on The Voice and to get your new album next year.Also Congrats with along Maroon 5 being #1 on billboard top 100 for the 4th week now with ur song with them.Keep rockin girl!!

[patriciamullis]

Donny still does it best! She goes to church a bit too much on this.

[joe23me]

Herbie Hancock, one of the best jazz pianlist in the world, just did a great performance for the crossover music with Christina Aguilera....I just love the way he play piano! But I still have to say, Donny Hathaway's version is the best ever!!!

[moviemaker1000tyler]

I love christina aguilera. Absolutely adore her... and ive never listened to the other versions so i cant compare.. but this sounds like hot SHIT

[mastersax]

I loved Michael Buble´s version... but this is more than incredible!!! thank you so much Christina.... and thanks for this faboulus band!!!!!!

[Pronurse97]

She's great, but the rendition by Ray Charles gave me goosebumps! It's on YT

[5565364]

She screwed up the second verse. She messed it up badly. Come on Christina.

[flyonejewel]

Kudos to Ms. Christina, but Mr. Donny Hathaway is the master on this one!

[danzig20201]

this has got to be Leon Russell's best song....Christina does a great job of it...better than Whitney's version....

[aldeb456]

A Donny Hathaway classic but Christina really did the dam thing!!!

[MsTrue4ever]

She would make great country singer. But, soul music is not her strong suite. She sounds like she's struggling.

[prettybashful773]

1. Whitney

2. Christina

3. Bey

[Disturbedcallimodel]

People just CAN'T help their urge to compare, funny. Enjoy the beautiful music or leave. Simple as that.

[BigSistaSongbird]

This was not the song for you Christinia..sorry

[yuedh]

@BigSistaSongbird you are crazy lol.

[Sim882]

Let's face is this is far below Whitney's version for the troops (I am white)

[THETRUTHISLIKESOAP]

@Sim882

What has your complexion got to do with this song?

[bmiger]

She's great, but there's much too much embellishment here. Give me Leon, thank you.

[xavlexav]

Great voice but no soul Sorry I go back to Donny Hataway's version...

[valentinjoar]

@xavlexav NO SOUL? LOL, YOU'RE JOKING. NICE JOKE LOOOOOOOL

[xurdegg]

i lie it, but just compare it to Donny Hataway

[hsp32144]

Black people dont like christina aguilera come on now

[im18dammit100]

@hsp32144 what are you talking about? i'm black and i like christina.

[tatjana1707]

her vocals are great here,and I like her music,actually adore,but her version of this song is awful......and believe me I am her fan,I am simply honest

[101kuja101]

@tatjana1707 I agree, her vocals are in a league their own, but this version is awful!

[tatjana1707]

@101kuja101

I'm glad :) I was expecting someone to attack me :)

[flyiestsarah1]

woow ..! omg flawless

[TheSmithbelynda]

I love Christina, she is a true talent, but Willie Nelson does (for me) the best version EVER of this song. I think that Christina performs it very well, however, I prefer Willie's stripped down, honest, revealing version to this.

[kayvaz9208]

I like her but i think she ruined this song. Elliott Yamin and Whitney Houston do a MUCH better job.

[ljwe2004]

Vocal powerhouse ! Christina got pipes !

[MimiIlovU]

Best version of this song!

[lyricaltoye]

@MimiIlovU I love christina but no one does this song better than Donnie Hathaway.....

[FooFighter193]

Donny Hathaway pisses on all other artists who covered this song. Thank you Leon Russel for this beautiful song.

[ZHusqvarna]

AND WHO MADE THIS SON??? Ladies and gentlemen MR. LEON RUSSELL

[XTINASDISCIPLE]

V O C A L - P E R F E C T I O N

[amatanonp]

29 ppl misread dislike to be download

[amatanonp]

Wow

[toenysha]

damn...she sure can mess up some lyrics...smh. nice voice tho

[nikoaguileraxtina]

29 no like fuck you Xtina artiste talent !Diva soulll jazzzzzz ;)

[spidey678]

Beyonce can't sing this kind of song.

[mattistrosa]

the big and best voice in the world in the universeeeeeeee bigggggggg love youuuu

[edgefire125]

God, I adore her. That tone, that control, that range, that technique, that emotion, that inventiveness, that totally unique style... I can't wait to hear what she's doing in about 20, 30 years when her voice has ripened to Nina Simone's level.

[MrButler124]

@edgefire125 She'll never be at Nina's level. By then her voice will be gone unless she fixes her technique. I'm serious on the Nina comment though. Nobody is at her level. Plus Xtina's a mezzo-soprano and Nina's a low tenor so that wouldn't work. Girl can blow though. She does give a person the chills....at least the ones who aren't really listenin closelly(meaning those who don't have musical ears).

[jehdittrichi]

Christina is THE BEST SINGER EVERRRR

[yva201]

thumbs up if u imitate her in the mirror!!

[db200508]

@yva201 lmao I do it all the time..... even when I sing I move my head the way she does lmao.

[FriItten]

She's so amazing!

This video is from 2006 and only 27 dislike this.

[Narek173377]

to my point the dislikers are just looking for something else and when they do not click on a proper stuff they get nervous and push the dislike buttom without thinking:) this is the only logical and persuasive explanation for 27 dislikes to this abso-fucking-lutely perfect issue:) PS. AWA essays are making me sick these dayz))

[WallansBrazil]

Bublé can do it much better than this

[SarahWalker25]

@WallansBrazil no he can't

[MarilynMonroe93]

This 27 disliking-people don't know anything about real music <3

[Cristina86LODI]

Amazing...she made me LOL from 1.00 to 1.10 when she sang the wrong lyrics and held the note to give herself time to remember what the right words were...lol...I love you Xtina!!!

[aNdReW16944ever]

nice version...but WHITNEY's version all the lifeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[mals12]

Christina's version is beautiful. But Whitney's version is a masterpiece in singing.

[mzG216]

I love Xtina but clearly memorizing lyrics is not her strong suit lolol

[BigTy456]

this one is much better than the grammy rehearsal video

[tizan25]

You all should listen to Donny Hathaway's version (and all of his music). I mean, this is fine, but THAT'S singing with soul

[kylie45671]

she has a soulful voice

its so beautiful i luv it

[krystal27w]

i love this song so much and have heard alot of ppl sing it but i love how she made it her own

[TheNisSeee]

No One Does It Better Than The One And Only Miss Christina Aguilera!

[GoingToHogwarts]

MICHAEL BUBLE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hoffmadi]

@schmusi2007

i love you for my life

[AndielovesBeyonce]

why the heck she always has to scream?? she has a beautiful voice but she doesn't know to use it

[sherrie5430]

what a wounderful and beauitful voice she has.. so natual and from the heart.. this is one singer i could listen to all day and not ever get tried of .. thank you for sharing this moment this song with us.. so unbelieveable someone would so much so talenet yet so many would have so many would so much hateard toward her.. such a shame..

[LovelyQyla]

Once I erad a comment that said that chrstina think only about et people hear how much is she good at sing..that made me sad...When she sings she sings with her heart...she have a wonderful voice to express that and it's natural for her to use it...

[Sexy5156]

Beyonce and Usher were fine. Christina was good enough. Whitney was wonderful, but the best cover of this song to me, was done by Ray Charles. He added a different kind of pain to the song. The kind that makes you wonder what was he going through to sing it like that.

[Sexy5156]

WTH..........no soul! Perfect notes but no SOUL. What's the point?

[fabioouverney]

i hate this version

[cajerosunicosens]

esta es la mejor versión k he escuchado tiene una voz impresionante ,k mujer tan chula!!!!!

[temptingsweety]

LOVE it

[adelgadoccb]

I love love Christina, she is a real Diva!!!!!

[accaro17]

pas assez de variations de voix : on entend encore trop les notes ...

[kimster521]

I think this and her Walk Away performance on David Letterman are the best live performances she's done.

[cammieholly1]

what a voice its absolutely beautiful

LOVE HER XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[Shanna12345678]

@AbsolutelyMyself100

I am pointing out her vocal style. You agree that she oversings/strains/screams as "it's her way of singing, her signature" (your words), but seem to want to validate her vocal style with the fact that she's won awards. Calling me ignorant because I pointed out her vocal style doesn't make any sense when you agreed with me.

I am discussing her vocal style here, not her prominence within the music industry, which is all that the Grammy awards comment would serve here.

[bananababy28]

She really DID sing that song for you... whoever you is... My school has an annual dance show and we did a piece to the Whitney Houston version of that song. Now the music on that one is better for the dance, but this is the best version by far!

[oldtealady]

Herbie, I fucking love you, but you gotta back off a bit. Less is more man.

[58hug]

she is the most incredible voice of the decade for sure :p

i dont wanna say ever coz it wouldnt be right but it wouldnt be wrong also...

[slik303factor]

woow this is what I call music... a moment of relaxing..damn what a jam...

[guitarcurtski64]

herbie and christina they were playing with GOD,

[tooaloof4u]

Frickin Awesome, but Herbie, quit with the improv over her scats, steppin all over it.

[conap34]

this girl can sang, and this is my jam!!!

[FaulFerkel]

i love her version it's one of her best vocal performances - it really suits to her voice. Aguilera/Whitney/Donny/Ray - the best versions

[mariotl]

Her besto voice EVER... she´s just so perfect here...

[MattSinger16]

The note at 2:17!!!! CHILLS!

[kinglaith7]

As fat as people are, I bet they all went a got coffee and muffines, rather than the CD... wtf.... just give the people the CD! Whatever, its just pissing me off - this little detail - whatever.

[twohatchets]

this is awful. cmon now, leon made an amazing song, but nobody can even come close to donny hatthaway's version. Nice try tho. lol

[CAguileraFAN21]

2:16 that shows you how powerful her voice is when it carries that note even though the mic it far away from the mouth! you go Xtina!

[Liienertt]

Wauw, she really has one of the best voices ive ever heard! She's amazing!

[GG74K]

I prefer Joss Stone

[ponyboyluver15]

She's one of the best singers ever! she's been in the buisness for a over a decade! She doesn't need training at all.

[Shanna12345678]

always screaming, always straining, always oversinging. not a good vocalist, but she does have talent. she needs coaching, but of course her ego wouldn't allow it.

[paint1487]

@Shanna12345678 haha. you seriously don't know what you are talking about.

[AbsolutelyMyself100]

@Shanna12345678 5 time Grammy award winner, 3 of which were for Best Vocal Performance and you're saying" always screaming, always straining, always oversinging"

It's her way of singing,her signature,don't like it,don't listen!!!!

Some people are just ignorant!!!!

[MrMarshV]

Ur' kinda right, is tiring to watch her moving that much but if you just listen to the melody it sounds OK

[kentbishops]

There's too much going on with her hands, vocal runs and lip movement. It's like she's working in a circus. READ: EXCESSIVE LIP MOVEMENT even when she's not singing. It's exhausting to listen to her. :)

[mermaidofsuburbia]

Beyonce can't sing for shit - that's why she has to have a vocal track backing her up when she sings "live".

[midnafan11]

*Why

[midnafan11]

this is shy she is the voice of the generation, LOVE U XTINA <3 <3 <3

[usagi858]

i don't understand the reasons why people dislike it.it's very AMAZING.she got everything voice,talent,beauty and emotion.she killed it.

[cpos13]

i loveeeee how she looked here. and this is probably the best ive heard her sound. amazing voice

[musicguy713]

wonderful performance!

[MooshieV]

she looked so healthy and beautiful here!

[Xhaterlover]

her voice is truly AMAZING!!! So why does she have to overdo it every single time?! I'm always excited when I hear the begining of her ballads, but then she gets into the second verse and all I hear are these random runs that don't do anything for the song! I think christina has one of the purest voices of our generation. In fact, I think her talent is truly a once in a generation type of talent, but why can't she just let the purity of her voice carry her?! ugh!!! FRUSTRATION.

[tangy55]

How can anybody possibly dislike this video? :( Christina performed this more than amazingly!!

[danielgoshmmann]

@tangy55 gaga's fans hahah this song its awsome

[maiosmusiclover]

@tangy55 jealous people hate her, cause she's too important and too wonderful :D

[JumpingJazZCat]

@tangy55 Because they're so jealous they can't stand themselves, ofcourse. =)

[Disturbedcallimodel]

@tangy55 Probaly, a Gaga fan

[kimster521]

She sings the note at 3:17 so freaking beautifully

[dontdarewatch]

oh my god how can this voice be real?

[jaypee415]

DAYUUUUUUUUMMMMM............

[jontajansson]

I watched 2:14 over and over again and at last it got annoying? "/

[mogaamogaa]

i raped the 2:41 button.

[mmjohnson525]

beastie...

[DdoubleO15]

I love her and I'm glad that she made this song her own.

[KevvyBoyy]

skip to 2:15 - best note ever and so much power.

[TheDanny2a]

i fall in love with her the first time i hear her beautiful voice !

[rdsamuels]

Best voice of any female artist today

[cintrain69]

She forgets the lyrics in the beginning. The album version is still by far the best

[RobYoungAirBrat61]

There is nothing better than the original by Leon Russel the "master of time and space"

[xXmelix3]

she's my absolute idol! Perfection itself *.*

when she sings she's got my whole attention,

I can't do anything else but stare at her,

this is amazing!!

and im a girl xD lol

[fuoconapoletano]

GIORGIA'S VERSION IS BETTER .....GIORGIA SINGS WITH HEART !! :P ..GOOD CHRISTINA ;)

[MrChingobling69]

give me Karen Carpenters version anyday over this try too hard crap...that ruins the song.

[Em183]

@MrChingobling69 this is more soul, jazz version to go with the piano. every rendition offers something different.

[Em183]

This is the Christina that I love. She has soul here, her image is impeccable, class everything. I wish she looked that way all the time but a fan can't get everything she wants obviously lol. Love her voice, always will.

[claudelebel55]

wow - what a voice

[gonzalete15]

she is the besy'

[Lovemrsbeyonce]

i prefer the simple version of beyonce. it comes natural from her heart

[mimy36lovesu]

@Lovemrsbeyonce legentina right here OWNS beyoncé 'cause she's putting power and emotions into it

[Lovemrsbeyonce]

@mimy36lovesu i said my opinion, beyonce is singing from heart,natural and beautiful

[Mellie431]

@Lovemrsbeyonce Beyonce sings all of her songs on one tone she's a monotone singer.But she is still good

[MsTreysongz1]

@Lovemrsbeyonce well go listen to it and shut the fuck up cuz every body prefer Christina's version even Donnie said so and Herbie , no body never even mention beywonec version cuz no body gives a shit , she sang it at the Grammy and it and a man's world is put among one of the greatest Grammy moments of all time

[Beyoncefan1000]

@MsTreysongz1 fuck you!!! Mrs.Beyonce shits all over xtinas version and you twirps know its the truth!!!

[MsTreysongz1]

@Beyoncefan1000 tsk tsk tsk . smh poor thing still in denial . Christina was better and no matter what you say she still is so let's just leave there ,

[Beyoncefan1000]

@MsTreysongz1 bitch dont be stealing my words ok!!! you and the rest of these xtina fans are the ones in denial because yall just cant stand the fact that yo girl xtina doesnt have much of a voice as you all hype her up to have!!

[MsTreysongz1]

@Beyoncefan1000 lol and beyonce does hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­h lol hahahahahahahaah you make me laugh .wow . just drop bitch cuz you know xtina is better .

[MrALF423]

@MsTreysongz1 How old are you kid ?

[maskoftheNight]

How can a person be THAT TALENTED!!!I mean.....Jesus!!!!

[trancosomarcus]

Tha harmonies of Herbie is awesome too...

[krystalkakes35]

It's a bit much for me. We know you've got the voice girl, but stay true to the song. It wasn't meant to be so all over the place.

[OhsoKatlike]

Just simply incredible. <3

[MrBubulino]

who owns the throne?

[phinaleung]

@MrBubulino It's you mommyLOL

[joetj]

Christina and Janet do it for me!

[crazyramus]
