  • I don't know why you guys are being rude. This was for a TRIBUTE! Meaning Christina was paying homage to Aretha, not trying to sing a song better than her. As much as you guys hate on Christina tell me a person who can sing a Christina song and do BETTER? Oh ok! #Treated

  • aretha whitney and patti are the best to ever do it

  • No one sings it like Aretha and no one ever will!

  • mehhh her version is just alright..nothing special

  • Nah.

    

  • Forcing WAY too hard and too many meaningless runs...great voice but tries too hard and so loses any emotional connection with the song!!

  • even if she oversinging,she is slaying every singer in the music industry dowdays and she has the most amazing voice in the world,she is the best vocalist on earth!she is the one and only Christina Aguilera and no there are no singers like her!!!!

  • Everyone has their own opinion and thats that....you might not like it and you might think it sounds terrible but i adore it and i think it sounds perfect. So dont say Christina Aguilera is the worst singer ever or some bullshit just because you dont like her...in the end of the day you are no music expert and she is still known as one of the best voices EVER!

  • NOW THAT GIRL CAN CERTAINLY SING!!

  • To all the haters this is by far the best rendition. Close your eyes and feel that emotion and power. Just sit there and let it sink in and you'll see how amazing this really is.

  • Eh

  • Christina is the BOMB! she is a true singer Not a studio princess, just true vocals Every song she sings she does it in CHRISTINA style, that's who she is ,not trying to be some one else. We need versatility in the industry not looking & sounding alike. They are ARTIST & we should be able to njoy the ART, BUT not staring at a wall full of FAKE MONA LISAS!! LOL!! I think she's great!! (now that's just my opinion, you have a right to yours) LOVE & PEACE!!!

  • Listen to this...and then tell me that she's not one of (if the THE) greatest singers/voices of our generation.

  • She just does way too much note changing. It's a little too much. There are many singers much more in tune, less scratchy, much better. Just sayin'.

  • this song reminds me of impossible....i love her soooo much

  • LEGEND!!!

  • sorry, but no-one really cares about amber riley tbh... yes, great voice but she doesn't stand out or up against the likes of aretha, patti, whitney and j-hud - there's nothing that unique about her that we haven't heard 100x before! christina on the other hand? one in a million imo >>>>>

  • This is absolutely horrible. I remembered it was awful but now that I listen to it again after a year I realize it's a lot worse than I remembered. Shitty vocals all the way. The best thing is that falsetto note, the rest of the performance is an insult to soul music and singing in general. Her "belting" sucks and her "vocals runs" are utter trash. Not even talking about that flat Eb5. Do you like her? It's okay. My opinion is that she's one of the worst singers ever.

  • @workitout80 nothing wrong with having your own opinion but then again in contrast aretha franklin said she was good and was "feeling it" - yes, not a great vocal overall (and i'm a fan) but she was definitely feeling this song when singing it and that, in my opinion, is what soul music is about...

  • @workitout80  your out of your fucking mind

  • Love Christina - She is THE VOICE... Altough in this precise song, Amber Riley wins :D

  • fucking haters.fucking Biebers fans.shut the fuck up and listeng the trule DIVA sing. love christina so much

  • Best version!

  • 1:21-1:32 to love me baby baby baby ohhh baby ohhh love yoooooouuuuuuuuuuuuaaahhhh!!!!­!

  • @waresimone this made me laugh hahaha :)

  • happy birthday god of diva's ♥ ♥

  • she fucking rocked that tribute, i dont care what nobody say! this made up for the national anthem to me.

  • Amber Riley version is 5x better in my opinion(: but this is good!

  • @MrJayyjones then go watch it and take your comment with you

  • this song done by Christina gives me goose bumps!! She is fab !!!!

  • I can feel the spiriti... all my heart is bom ping with that song....

  • I adore Christina with all my heart and she definitely has soul running through her veins.

  • Actually, there is such a thing as oversinging, and this is the case in Christina's "style". She often hits all the wrong notes and goes off-key until all musicality and intrinsic meaning in the song dissipates. There is a fine line between expression with melisma and what Christina does. Even I could sing "yeah-yeah-yeah-whoa-whoa-yeah­-eee-oh-oh" on every note and pass that as my "singing style".

    I think Christina has a great voice, but she needs to get a musical sense.

  • @SanguineDragonfly

    if you actually look at her mickey mouse club days, she was so much better lol

  • @SanguineDragonfly as christina herself has said before, she sings with her heart, not her head (advice her grandmother gave her) - so although technically is wasn't great, she felt every word she was singing even if she didn't hit all the right notes

  • @chenjunyang Not technically great? Missing a note or two in the midst of "hitting a lot more of them", still qualifies as technically great. Christina is like an olympic gymnast...so you sort of have to judge her on "degreee of difficulty" for what she attempts to pull off vocally! LOL She always has a great floor exercise and "nails the dismount", in my opinion :-)

  • @bourgeoisbrats That I agree on, but I mean when she belts mainly and the way she does it sometimes. In 2006-7 she was very good at it, then after that not so much it seems, but now she's getting better at it again :)

  • Comment removed

  • She sung this song with her heart. Her pattie labelle and Aretha are the only ones that can sing this song.

  • xtina the best of wordl

  • People are idiots. Ignore them. The only problem I hear vocally is that E5 belt in chest voice. It's rough and halfway through her voice breaks. Her melismas (vocal runs) are perfect. Her Eb6 falsetto is so clean and perfect and the transition to the Eb6 couldn't sound better. Whatever people, if you don't like the way she sings, at least learn something about vocals before being critcal.

  • @MedusaDOA4 Couldn't agree more. Everyone's always ventilating their opinion without having any expertise. I don't know much about vocals too but I never pretend to at least. So annoying when people say: ooh that vocal run was so oversung. Like they know that better than Ms Christina Aguilera lol.

  • @MedusaDOA4 exactly...I've loved her for 10+years and when I heard that one belt note I had a little cringe moment, but other than that everything was stellar...when she's not straining her tone is sooo gorgeous

  • I lovee! :D

  • This is Perfection!!!

  • Great belter but this song was TOTALLY OVERSUNG. A+ for effort but she get an F- in Classic Soul 101.

  • Splendid vocalist.

  • fab

  • Patti Labelle...Aretha...Amber Riley...Shoshana Bean...Christina

    in that order

  • 11 Haters.How can you deny how talented she is???

  • Amber Riley did this better.

  • shw killed it.

  • i'll be be begging her on twitter everyday to make a cover of lorraine ellison's stay with me baby. That suits her voice perfectly. That will contribute to her soulful legacy, along with this song and a man's world. THUMBS UP CHRISTINA FANS IF YOU AGREE!!!

  • amazin , the best singer all the times

  • Wtf!

  • I LOVEE ♥ !

  • I wish she sang only you <3 <3 <3 that would be amazing!

  • it sounds so much like Impossible by christina ...

  • People always say she oversings... well I agree sometimes it's too much but if you listen all the old soul queens, like aretha, they play with their voice as much as christina.

  • @kallekaskas That is so true...so very true. No one really oversings a song really when you look at it. People like this sing from their soul and personal emotional experience in life. Christina is a passionate person and she loves music and the dramatic element of song. So really it's all about her personal expression of the lyrics (just as it is for anyone who sings anything). People who think someone over sings, are like short listeners. They get the point and if you keep on about it...UHG!

  • this performance is really great, all the girls were doing amazing, but xtina is incredible, I love her voice, it's beautiful, I can't wait for next album!, I want it now! :D

  • Xtina is like a black woman in the body of a white woman, she sounds just like black soul queens but i didn't like this cover --> O V E R S I N G I N G.

    I mean ok you can but not the whole song, it just kills the beauty of song...

  • @Gabyevo shes Latina lol

  • DIVA!!!!

  • Great cover but wasn't the best Amber Riley and Shoshana Bean has the best cover my opinion but still loved this (:

  • Total respect for Christina, she's got soooo much talent! One of the few artists of today who truly have talent. She is one of my idols, but she's got nothing on Aretha! Aretha will always be the queen. <3

  • Singing is very subjective and is a ART, not a proper form of style. If your a vocalist and you wish to save your voice then alright use "proper" technique. If you wish to sing with your heart and soul than sing any way you want to.

  • i don't think there's anything as "Oversinging" ... singing supposedly allows you to express yourself with your voice... ... Nobody can state what's the right way to sing, what's the wrong way! under-over- singing!! that's the beauty of it! everyone can like whoever singer they want! no matter what! could bob dylan really sing? michael jackson sings that well? STYLE! everyone will have their own opinion! ...As for Christina, it's her STYLE!! and i and millions of people, LIKE IT!

  • @valarangel you are soooo right!!!

    I love Christina's style...she kills it every time, that's what makes a singer...strong vocals and originality!

  • @valarangel thank you ! thats what im saying as a singer myself its all about feeling it

  • Aretha is in a different league. This sounds like a walrus in labour. X-tincta massively oversings everything. She's so wrapped up in bleating over-the-top melisma that there's no injection of emotion into the words of the song. It's got worse as she's got older... when she was younger she sounded pretty good. She doesn't need to sing bloody two-octave vocal runs per note, it just makes for painful listening. In my opinion. Others will disagree, and that's fine.

  • CHRISTINA AGUILERA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • amazing christina

  • miss patti & christina r my 2 fav reigning supreme voices

  • Aretha's original beats all of 'em. Altho' this one's not bad.

  • <3 ^^ LOVELY! such a voice !

  • The glee version is better

  • amber from glee did that much better!

    Christina sounds like a horse ! haha

  • @BlingBlingLinn who was on the grammy stage? Oh ok

  • @BlingBlingLinn um actually, they both sounded fricken amazing in their own styles....

  • i don't know why the media and haters are against her ???

  • She messed up a little bit during her performance, vocal-wise.

    But those 3 notes she hit at the end that touched her whistle-register was a nice touch.

  • @Schzimmy213 Agree completely

  • @kiwi03mangO 4 notes I mean.

  • EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!! DANG I LOVE CHRISTINA BUT SHE ATE A FROG ON THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!!!

    WHITNEY AND MARYJ TORE THIS SONG UP

  • I must admit I do prefer Whitney's and Aretha's versions of this song - they have so much more soul than Christina, I don't know it just doesn't sound right. This is a song to be respected and sang as a song, not used as a tool to say "hey guys look what I can do with my voice".

  • @embryo813 are you deaf? this was amazing...

  • she's the voice made​woman.the personification of perfection...i loooveee youuuu Christ ,i love soooooooo much

  • the best big voice un the planet in the universeeeeeeeeeee

  • This is probably my favourite vocal performance from her. Incredible.

  • people have to realise this is live... she sang gd for live

  • she wasted her voice on pop

  • @21springfeeling well nope bcause if she didnt sing pop there would be no-one who could sing left singing pop

  • She is great.

  • im sorry the only good thing was her whistle!

  • @2661Amber Why? She's probably the one who possess the most beautiful voice in the world, today.

  • @2661Amber who cares? if you don't like her then why come to her videos, haters are so stupid

  • so what if she's a bitch in real life who has many haters. damn it. i wanna hear her song.

  • @luisyelandhy I seriously doubt she is one. Lol

  • so what if she's a bitch in real life who has many haters. damn it. i wanna hear her song. 

  • Legendary!

  • Sorry, Shoshana Bean's version is WAY better

  • Why is Lady Gagme getting all the press when someone like Christina Agullera is out there do her thing? Somebody call Columbo (R.I.P.), Sherlock Holmes, and Barnaby Jones(R.I.P.) to solve htis mystery.

  • Wow!!! she's amazing!!!!

  • Best short cover ...EVER

  • Se shouldnt have sung this .. like lets look at it! aretha, amber riley (glee), whitney huston, patti labelle and christan aguilera! shit man that should have been jennifer hudson's song!

  • @GazaBumbahClarte jennifer wouldnt of sang it as good . . .christina did it perfectly

  • @GazaBumbahClarte : No. they got it right...But thanks.

  • Whitney Houston does the best cover of this song...

  • Simply Amazing !!

  • Look this...the best singer in the world is here, in ITALY...youtube.com/watch?v=si­rvTUo6lgs

  • Her vocal rage is fantastic!

  • christina , you did the thang  GIRL !

  • I wanna hear Christina do an album full of covers.

    She can do anything with that voice.

  • @heykaybee3 Foreal. I enjoy her covers more than her music.

  • Dang, who was that on the background!?

  • @THELilAi3 Maybe Christina Aguilera..?

  • @xxSevenLettersxx Nope, a backing singer.... The part Whitney Houston's mother sang in the original as it happens.

  • Christina aguilera is a amazing vocalist!!! If you put every pop artist in a dark room strip them from all props, auto tune techniques and lack there of, dancers and stage tricks...she will prevail as the best... its a shame is over shadowed by singers who can be quite gimmicky or who have no talent what so ever....

  • dang baby she can sing! watch the wendy willima interview of aretha she praised aguilera and yolanda.

  • FUCK THIS SHIT!!

    I mean she really can sing! :D

  • Could Someone Please tell me the names of the songs that all the girls sang at the grammys please

  • she is my girl! :D

  • I'm sorry I love Christina but she just over did the song to much for me, and in the process lost all of the true emotions that the song actually portrays. I really feel like she should have toned it down a bit and sung from the heart not just for entertainment, it would've been 1000 times better in my opinion.

  • @06sirpierre mhmm & your opinion isn't relevant being that Aretha loved it.

  • @bklynchicka994 OK she can love it but keywords being MY opinion just like you say mines is irrelevant so is everyone else's. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so your reply to mines is irrelevant.

  • WTF! I just fuckin love ya. Christina Aguilera can sing anything. I mean anything.

  • I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE SHOSHANA BEAN DO IT!! SHE DID A BETTER COVER OF THIS SONG!!!

    

  • @rynoissophat no she didn't...Shoshana's has no passion (at all), it's not heartfelt, and she sounds bitter...her version is all tricks, with passing tones hit incorrectly at that...several of the runs (arpeggios) have missteps in them...a producer knowledgeable in this form of music would have re-did it, since it was recorded in a studio, and not live.

  • christina is the best..someone should pay tribute to her just because she's amazing!!

  • she should be on glee. some how.

  • She's very off-pitch and her runs are a total mess. No tribute paid to aretha.

  • @brunonlinexd: Whatever.

  • @brunonlinexd you're mad. even aretha was very pleased and thanked her for giving an astounding performance. who are you to say that? oh yeah! A HATER! *applause* keep hating and embarrass your ignorant self.

  • @seffff Sorry if somehow you got offended for whatever reason, but it's a fact she can't sing. if you like it, it's okay: but I'm not hating. For me there is nothing enjoyable about this video. It's my right to comment whatever is in my mind. I do not hate because I can admit that her timbre is very beautiful, but it's a fact she can't use her voice properly and that's why it's degrading so very fast.

  • @brunonlinexd if she really can't sing then why is she dubbed as the Voice of our generation and the youngest singer included in The Rollingstones greatest voices of all time? and why is she recognized by the Grammy and Rock and Roll hall of fame? are you better than those people who inducted her? well ok that's your opinion. btw Celine Dion said that Xtina is the best vocalist of our time, and even better than her.

  • @seffff I just looked at that list! Christina Aguilera is number 58. Whitney Houston is number 34 and Aretha Franklin is number 1

  • @brunonlinexd Coming from a Mariah fan? Hilarious.

  • does this song sound like Impossible from her stripped album?

  • She is awesome.

  • voz de angel

  • I liked what Xtina did up until the very end. She could've done w/o those xtra runs. It was a bit overkill. She has such a great voice but really over uses it sometimes.

  • @CCBaby She totally does, but I think it's such a part of her style. She definitely can be more "modified"...like in the Burlesque Soundtrack you can hear just how much control she actually has over her voice.

  • She killed it! Aretha said her and Yalonda were her favorite! Amber Riley: best singer of Glee! Christina: best singer of our generation. Huuuggeee difference. Js..

  • Xtina needs to sing more of these types of songs!

  • @goldengal1989 It's true, she has a soul/RnB voice now, not pop.

  • im sorry but i like amber riley, she took her time to sing the song

    chritina was going for the notes but it had no emotion to me

  • @adimps92 Christina was live Amber most likely had plenty of time to tape the song in more than 1 tape Christina killed it and in fact amber riley's version has a lot christina's sounding to it so shut the eff up and take a seat you deaf

  • @lc0309 Actually Amber's version sounds pretty damn close to the original. I can't even imagine why she would take anything from Christina, when the point of her doing the song on the show was to pay homage to Aretha (as a "neglected artist")

  • @Nicklicious have you heard aretha's version??? Amber's is a mix of both christina and shoshana bean renditons of the song

  • @lc0309 Uh... yeah I've heard Aretha's version since I just said Amber's sounds close to it. You should go listen to it.

  • I'm sorry, but am I reading some of the comments rite? s Christina getting compared to GLEE??? Please for the sake of all that is good in this world tell me I am seeing things!!!

  • RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! DIE BITCH!!!

  • @WhDemiJackson you go first!

  • @uprainbow lmao exactly

  • @WhDemiJackson did satan possess you or anything?

  • Jesus Christ, this gave me goosebumps!

  • I wish she would release an album with just...covers. That's it. I enjoy when she does covers so much!

  • WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the GLEE version!!!

    LOVE YOU XTINA!!

  • @UnleashTheVoice Okay I know that's your opinion and all but I'm sorry. As good of a performance as this was, I think Amber's version was waaaaay better than Xtina's version. That was actually hard for me to admit because I love Xtina's voice and she can sing her butt off!

  • @hinika

    in my opinion..... amber was waaay too nasally... and her although I love amber!! her voice wasn't nearly as powerful or soulful as Xtina...

    and plus... all glee soundtracks are autotuned to the max

  • @hinika AS much as I love both of them...Christina Aguilera did a way better job. she is the best female vocalist of this generation. if she went to the recording studio and recorded this like Amber did. She would blow her out the water

  • i wish she would do a complete cover of this song in HQ it would blow my damn hair off her vocals r a damn powerhouse

  • T___T thank u christina <3

  • I DID NOT KNOW SHE HAD 5 OCTIVES!!! I LOVE IT.

  • @jarrylfo She doesn't have 5 octaves. She has 4

  • ella cuando la escucho cantar siento q toca mi alma con su voz , es exelente

  • I Love her!
