  • enough said JAIME FOXX gave his approval lol, NA, but I LOVE THIS woman very few artist can sing like this glad she is in this lifetime.

  • damn this is realy music!! full of chills every time!!

  • erm Cause life is a game

  • Christina has a great voice and is a real talent in a wasteland of no-talents. I know a lot of people like her version of this classic. Personally, I feel it lacks simplicity and the deep bluesy feeling in how it should be performed. She could have gotten much more mileage without all the fireworks.

  • These haters dream of screaming like her! ........

  • I always enjoyed listening to Christina sing, She is like Martina McBride she can belt the notes out!

  • Xstina Will NEVER be better thn James Brown! Nor on his level. She did a great job and all but seriously, why are people only giving her credit and not James Brown Himself credit?

  • WOW! She is cuh-razy! :O

  • Damn!!!  She done sang the sh*t outa that song!!!

  • I like the video , but damn did anyone notice there is a beep thru the whole video? it's a very high beep almost not noticable but it annoyed the shit outta me @.@

  • damn she killed it and i am not a fan of hers but that gave me chills

  • At 2:02 is she just screaming or is that her highest note?

  • This is the shit.

    This is soul, feeling, depth, contol.

    this is how you sing when you need to convey that REAL emotion.

  • I Loved you Christina since I was 12 yrs old..and now im 22..I will love you,,

  • This might be christina's best live performance till date. She hit all the notes except 2:03 - 2:07. This is the best cover of James Brown's song although I dont think that its a soulful rendition of the song. The only white female singers of this generation who have any soul in them are Norah jones and the late Amy Winehouse. I hope Norah does a tribute to Etta or Amy.I know she wont belt like christina but she has soul that Norah,and Im very curious to know how she would cover Etta and Amy. <3

  • I love how she sing...the best!!!

  • dignity of the song is gone..get your fuckin ass down and sing for the memory of great James Brown and this beautiful peace of art instead of showing off your god damn range.

  • what was that?? 2:02

    you know what? screw that, CHRISTINA IS AMAZING!!!!

  • @EWachob is the call wisthle :D jajajaja sory yo hablo español xd

  • I am a black female and I will be the FIRST to admit that Xtina, Amy Winehouse and Adele have way more soul than ALL of the black singers at the top of the charts today. I would love to see Xtina and Adele in an Etta James tribute. Etta respected Xtina and thought she was a wonderful singer. Xtina's voice is legendary. Probably the strongest of this generation.

  • i never seen a white woman with soooo much soul other than amy winehouse

  • @timindahouse2195 I absolutely agree with you, and I think Norah Jones is also a soulful singer.

  • @timindahouse2195 Don't forget Janis Joplin!!

  • @zfl27 Or Etta James!

  • Queentinaaaaaaa !!

  • Legendtina!!!

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A VOICE

  • THAT WAS U N B E L I E V A B L E!!!!!!

  • yes christina screams and yes she can be out of tune at times but she is and amazing singer and she hit this performance right on the mark she embodied james brown exactly when she walked up to the mic she showed his charisma and style

  • Like a boss.

    

  • no wonder people stay mad pressed, she is PERFECTION, beyong gorgeous and that VOICE, LEGEND

  • that gurl can sing her ass off !!!!

  • Nearing its 5th year anniversary this feb.. and im still watching it.. I get chills everytime...

  • @AngelitoMayor me too!

  • this is why she needs to do the etta james tribute at the grammys this year if they're going to do one (which they really should). anyone who doubts she doesnt have enough soul should refer to this performance.

  • And don't forget :) oxoxox

  • she's horrible, compare her and Anastasiya Petric

  • So many disrespectful comments...

    At one point all of your favorite singers will have their bad moments, trust me.

    Xtina was good in this video, you might think at that last part was pretty bad. but imagine you trying to sing as high as her, and get on her level. I bet you wouldn't be able to do what she does.

  • Guys please! mariah fans,christina fans,britney fans,gaga fans,bieber fans, just stop insulting the singers that u dont like,becos these singers respect each other while u fans are wasting ur time in pointless arguments.everyone will be a legend 50 years from now.ok are u satisfied. and christina fans should also stop saying that other singers cannot sing just for wishing christina to be on top.otherwise u are insulting singers like norah jones,jhud,adele,and alicia keys etc.they can all SING!!

  • She's fucking terrible. This is NOT a good vocal performance, I don't give a shit if she was paying tribute to anybody. She is SCREAMING at the end and that is not good for the voice at all. No wonder she has no range left and is completely irrelevant now.

  • @lawlinat0r mm..i think the point is, that's how james brown sings/performs.

  • @strikenride But she sounds like this all the time so that argument isn't really valid.

  • @strikenride THANKU VERY MUCH!

  • james brown is smiling down from heaven!

  • the hairs are standing all over me

  • OMG i have never thought that a human can do a thing like this.

  • heir hair look like cheese :P

  • wow!

  • she's just acting up vocally and being SOULFUL. she's not singing to sound pretty, she's singing a tribute and singing in the style of the legendary performer... I've seen heard her climb scales "elegantly" but that wouldn't have been effective. that 2:02 note everyone is talking about is in whistle register... not really a note just a SOUND, really soulish and gorgeous and out of note range and organic, FUCKING REAL. more people needa get inside their voice and guts and see what comes out.

  • @selinaaalion to me, it's like she's just expressing her feeling with huge SCREAM! :D ppl are always complaining about when someone sings with FEELING and they don't understand, they think the person is off pitch or something -_-

  • @selinaaalion I wish the haters had your sense. Thank you!

  • @selinaaalion EXACTLY !!!!! She rocks here ! And I love her little whistle note here...simply amazing !

  • This is why she called Legendtina.

  • @WeaponsOfSeduction No, she's called Legendtina because she has fucking idiot fans who overrate her vocal ability and success.

  • @lawlinat0r Lol y u mad tho?

  • 2:02 She makes the sound of a trumpet. Very Awesome!!!

  • I LOOOOVE HER! I WANT A VOICE JUST LIKE HERS WHEN I BECOME A SINGER!

  • james brown was known to get wild and unhinged in his performances, especially in this song. christina's tribute is so great because she matched that intensity. I mean, this is a tribute on the grammys, not the top 6 on american idol.

  • Oh, honey but it is not a Man's World, they just believe that it is. Wu

  • the voice is beautiful but not the king james brown the one who sings equally! vica the voice of James Brown and his unique way of singing

  • The Legendtina!

  • Shes not making a strange note,she just lets out a screach while singing. She felt that could be a decoration while performing. It doesnt always have to be directly singing.

  • Am I the only one who hates that moment when she makes a stranger note ? 2:02 ? '-'

  • @herickbstar09 possibly thought that would be fine, but did not have much air and sounded out of tune

  • @herickbstar09 Yes you are.

  • this song makes me wish i could sing like her, and just blow people away!!!

  • lol at that guys reaction at the end going..yeah, thats good shit right there.

  • omgg ,, damnn

  • omgf

  • gives me shivers every time!!

  • DAMN!!!

  • Amazing! I love James Brown songs nd I love Christina nd wen she gave his song it was perfect nd it gave me the chills :) James would have been proud

  • FYI James Brown was famous for his screams!!!!! She sang her ass off and James would have been proud!!

  • If you are not blown away by this you are insane

    The Godfather himself would of been on his feet

    Christina you are amazing

    A Legendary performance

    Breath taking

    Pittsburgh Loves Christina Aguilera

  • THIS DAMN LIVING LEGEND IS OFFICIALLY BACK WITH AN ANTICIPATED ALBUM THIS YEAR. 2012 IS GOING TO BE XTINA'S YEAR BITCHES!!!

  • @geanjerity Did you just call this late 90s hasbeen a living legend? You stans are so fucking pathetic.

  • @lawlinat0r U'R d one who's PATHETIC asshole!

  • @geanjerity she is NOTHING close to a legend...FOUR abulms??You call that legend?? What acomplishments does she have??...Patti labelle is a legend, Aretha is a legend, Mariah Carey is a legend, Etta james, whitney houston..not this screaming bitch

  • @zblamm2121 yet she has been praised by Patti Labelle, Aretha, Etta and Whitney...stay pressed you idiot. Do some research first.

  • @hosioli I would LOVE to see proof of that and see EXACTLY what they said :) Oh and 2012 Is gonna be Mariahs year..you just wait and see who reigns the throne

  • @geanjerity Hell yea...cant wait!!

  • I never cared for this women till I saw this video 2 years ago, it's still one of the best versions of this song I have ever heard.......you rock

  • This is a great version. Do watch the Pavoratti and James Brown video for

    something amazing!

  • ouch...terrible

  • YOU ARE LEGEND ..................

  • This performance happened back in 07 and people still talking about it. Christina did a wonderful job people just get over it. I bet a lot of people are just mad because there favorite singer didn't get to perform this and be talked about for years to come. And the scream is a trademark that James Brown did for years.

  • THe gramys is using this performance for they comercial this year...hahah where is beyonka or other bitches in this generation?

    Christina is a legend..andthis performance will be forver for all the young musicians, THAT HOW YOU Need to sing..whit the HEART

  • Kyanks ari hayastan eli

  • You all clearly know nothing about James Brown. He was overdramatic and the the scream was not meant to be a note. Stay pressed bitches, while this performance continues to be used for Grammy promo every year.

  • @BackNDaDay90 well james brown pulled it off as it was his own version. Christina was doing her own performance with her own style. She was performing it more rock ... which screaching doesn't involve .... but I see you point

  • @meesbroersen i don't get your comment... gladly its hidden as spam tho :).

  • legend!

  • i liked this performance it was a very good song for her

  • stupid comments from ignorant people..the screaming supposed to be because James did used to scream in his permormances!!this rendition of the song ranked third in the Grammy's Greatest Moments List IF YOU WANNA KNOW!!she killed it and im sure that James would love it!!Christina is the best;)

  • I love Christina Aguilera but here, this is not singing, this is "showing your vocal performance"...

  • Excuse me aguilera, it's wrong to scream through the music industry.

  • @plateir4ever escuse me but can you sing like christina aguilera why are you judging her who are you whitney huston , micheal jackson her mother , her father ? to judge her i suggest you keep quiet until you learn how to sing like chistina aguilera then MAYBE you can judge her . christina aguilera is one of the world best singers , who do you ... im sorry , a nobody come to judge her

  • WOOW AMAZING

  • You know the first time you watched this you were like O M G halfway thru, thinking this cant possible get better,

    but than...... 2.02 ..... and you go like O.o Did I just hear that?

  • @RRRawen well, that's actually her hitting a false note. I think it sounds god-awful. and I love Christina.

  • @imfantasyparade its false in the first second but she corrects it

  • @RRRawen she doesn't though. ...and she sounds quite sour through the entire performance. I think she could have done it 10-20 times better on another day when her voice was not so strained. She could have used more of her bottom voice to sound more powerful.

  • @RRRawen

    You are stupid if you dont know she did that on purpose...

    that was a SCREAM!

    she didnt attempt to hit a note and got flat, she just SCREAMED...

    it's a James Brown tribute and that's one thing james brown is known for, SOULFUL SCREAMING... and i think it's really powerful and artistic...

  • Anyone who thinks Christina cant sing please watch this. She killed this and it really did give me goosebumps. To cover this song and make it sound good is amazing to me. Say what you want about Christina (that she yells and over does it) but no one can say that she CANT sing!! Love you Christina.

  • am i the only one who doesn't like this.......no offense but the original had more soul and less screaming, in my opinion.... :)

  • Legendtina!!!!

  • vicio ♥

  • she really did kill it... covering is nice... but when you cover something, you cover it to make it better or at least preserve it... not to damage it...

  • she fucking killed it

  • ITS HER WORLD IN THIS SONG SHE WAZ FEELING IT I GOT GOOSE BS

  • Respectttttt!!!

  • I feel gay watching this video on YouTube and liking it :DD

  • Jesus Christ.

  • I was shocked when she started yelling the way she did at 152 ,did because until that moment she was perfect, she was really amazing until she flipped. Gurl you do have a beautiful tone, and strong voice but please stop yelling.

  • it's so sad that quite a few of today's pop stars have great voices but they waste them on shit songs.. this is because they rely on music videos to carry the song to the top of the charts (and make them tons of money) and focus more on looks and visuals instead of sound lyrics and soul.. they're in it for the money not the music.. most of them anyway

  • Is that scream meant to sound like that or did she get it wrong?

  • i would like to quote the description...i am speechless!

  • 2:03 "...I want my lollipop back"

  • @XTdarkgainTX LOL i luv xtina but that was funny XD i also saw another video where an annotation popped up during the scream and it was like "help! there are cockroaches in my underwear!!"

  • James Brown must be very proud of her.

  • I was on Facebook, and I did a bet, who was the best between Jessie J and Xtina..

    Most people are saying Jessie J! :o

    I can't believe it :O

    Oh well.. Christina ALL the way.

    Jessie J can smd.

  • @thelumos101 lol jessie j is so annoying! she's good but after 1 or 2 songs, the screaming just becomes too much pour moi NTM all the other random noises she makes with her voice. xtina slays her so easily.

  • @ablackguy123456789 They are both screamers,but yeah christina has a more powerful voice than jessie j.but both of them can get slayed by amy winehouse when it comes to singing soul and jazz.

  • @didintei yeah ik xtina has a powerful voice so her screaming isn't annoying(there are times when even i think she's pushin it). i wouldn't say amy "slays" xtina in soul/jazz though

  • @ablackguy123456789 I think she does. Amy Winehouse and Jennifer Hudson are most soulful among their contemporaries.I used to like christina too but I cant stand her singing nowadays.Sorry no offence to you.I checked out your channel and we have many similar favourites, including Mariah and Jen Hudson. My favourite though is Amy.

  • @didintei it's ok i'm not offended as long as you're not one of those name-calling types lol and yes i love mariah and jHud too. they're incredz. i respect amy i just don't listen to much of her music

  • sing it!! damn, she's good!

  • CLEAN!

  • simply amazing!!!!!!

  • oh. my lord. she is fantastic. god those pipes. and i swear ive never heard more flawless live vocals. holy SHIT.

  • love being black

  • yes,,, my that's my Christina aint no new act cant do it so good

    love it she's just amazing

  • chills down my spine

  • @justinjonkmanbcn

    ...cuz it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or girl

  • @justinjonkmanbcn hahhahah that comment was just hilarious

  • amazing!:)

  • JAMES BROWN WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD. I got, and still do, get goose bumps when I watch that performance.

  • The performance singlehandedly catapulted her to LEGEND status.

  • @WeaponsOfSeduction that's right....!!

  • This woman is an amazing talent. To get out on the stage that she did, takes some cahones anyway. I do believe she was giving her interpretation of what she heard. I loved it, and play her version constanty. She needs no ok from any other artist to say that her rendition is anything but what it was, fabulous!!!

  • Her şeyim bu kadın benim. <3 love u Queen Christina ! <3

  • I love her. She's my idol. She doesn't need dancers, light shows, or amazing stage tricks. Just a mic and some smoke. Now thats what i call A SINGER!

  • shut up xtina has one of the greatest voices in the world!

  • @plateir4ever and I suppose you can do better huh?

  • @plateir4ever Wtf, are u for real?
