WOW- i never would of thot sumone would do it with more soul than the god father of soul' give it up to the Queen of soul'Christina'i love you! Blessings'
What great potential. Hopefully she will learn and like most great singers get better with age. She really sings this song. Of course James Brown owns this song. The very best rendition in my humble opinion is James Brown and Pavorotti.
I have a severe headache now!Christina please less screaming then maybe I begin to understand why they say you're one of the best singer...I don't understand...I never will...
She might have an awesome voice, but she BUTCHERED this song. Not saying I could do better, jus sayin. If you can't do a classic justice, you should just leave it be. my 2.
@Darkestone46and2 i think she did the clssic well....no..i KNOW she did. I saw a xtina video with this clip in it.....people TOLD her to kill this song......and she did.
i loved EVERYTHING about it..including teh high note everyone keeps hating on...10 stars!!! the note came from an inner moment she was having!!! LOVING EVERY BIT OF IT!!!!
proszę- lepiej niech nie bierze się więcej za takie piosenki!!!! to jest klasyka- w ogóle nie czuje tej piosenki- oprócz głosu nie am w tym wykonaniu NIC! niech spiewa dalej swoje popowe kawałki- niech napisze coś swojego a nie bezcześci klasyke!!!!!!!!!
@okesaita check out celine's version... she doesn't even come close to being this good!!!... xtina has the best n most powerful voice for this... not even whitney can touch her... people need to realize she stands alone when it comes to singing like this... !!! she's amazing!!!!
Wow, thick chick has balls to take on this song!! Powerfull voice, I think she does a heck of a good job. Seal does an excellent job with this one, & Christina does and excellent job also. (For a skinny, white chick) lol
the point of this performance was to pay tribute to James Brown. She was mimicking the way he used to preform, and he was well known for his "scream". Seeing as she doesn't have a Y chromosome, it is going to sound a little different coming from her. The yell was, in fact, intentional.
the high note could be better, true. but this is still considered one of her best performances.
considering her oversinging, i don't even think she does a lot of that here. if you want to see that, check out her singing makes me wanna pray live on tour. now that's really over the top.
...OMG!!! she doesn't sing, she shouts!!! that's horrible! singing a song with soul and emotions doesn't mean that you have to shout it!!! it breake all the emotion she can put in it...(if she put emotion in it...personnally i didn't heard emotion).
Of the 4 female teen-pop singers that came out of the late 90s (Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, and Christina) ....She's the only one who can SING!
I'm not talking about singing...I'm talking about SINGING, with some soul, and power in her voice
It's not that she's underrated. People over look her because of her often, for lack of a better word, slutty persona. I agree. She has a good voice. Very talented.
I never heard any song of this miss cause she plays in a category i can't bear.
Nevertheless i have to admit that his version is punchy and "soul load" enough to be listening. Even though the king of the soul music is really unreachable, precisely because the man has invented this standard himself !!!
Shut the fuck up you 13 year old pre-pubescent peice of shit. Go suck your dad, he might buy you a happy meal again. Just make sure it's your little secret.
She is really good techniquely . and it's a nice cover .. but she kinda overdues it .. Too much .. i don't think her tone fit to this song .. There is too much cliche over this style ..
I don't think i'm the only one getting really pissed off and tired of all these divas .
And .. at 2:03 when she hits the high pitch .. so outta tune .. HORRIBLE .
You got that right m8...but there's a guy from my country who is so freakin good he got himself a contract @ motown records his name is Waylan so check him out...but JB is still the greatest of all time!
My mom... Honestly. Shes busted out some Janis Joplin, and hit every note perfect i might add, at a state fair and won the $2K prize.. Oh well neway. Just had to give her some credit there. I do perfer Tina over Brit any day though. Brit seems fake to me. Tina has always been more.. idk.. i guess like muh mum =p
Wow congrats to ur mom :)....But Tina over Brit any day. Actually Tina is in a category all by her self. Brit is just an entertainer. Tina is a tru singer.

Well, this video just shows that not everyone on stage can sing!!!! Screaming just doesn't get it. The only reason I looked at this nonsence was because it popped up while listening to James Brown's verson. If this is her style, then she needs to get a job flipping burgers because singing isn't her forte. But judging from the applause, she has enough knuckle heads fans to keep her in millions of bucks. Oh, well, good for her !!!!
way too much drama in her voice for such a song. all this vibrato and crying kills the song for me. it sound like she cramps
