This PROVES that xtina is untouchable to anyone she's been compared to. This was 3rd best grammy performance EVER and all she did was sing!Xtina will be one o the the people that will continue to last a life time. Of course she's known for more than just her voice...but man...it's like all it takes is her voice! Love xtina......the best!
@songbird525 the reason she was singing like that was in tribute to james brown and if you dont like her than why did you come on this video? just to leave a bad comment
Why she just scream??????? Everybody knows she have a big voice, but in this video sometimes I can't understand what she's singing, I just hear screans
Belting high notes the right way is damn hard, but yes, the result isn't everyone's cup of tea. This is a James Brown tribute though, so it wouldn't be complete without it.
shit she ate the song......all's ok except the high notes.....their is a vocal range that limits.....if one goes beyong it...it will be screaming, not singing....
Love this video, its great. I think she has a better voice than James Brown (In my opinion), but she lacks certain qualities Brown had, but love her voice all the same. And i agree with Pink284304, i wnt call her the best, but she's certainly a contender!
whoa... i love christina, but she cannt be deemed 'the most powerful female performer' of all time yet--that's a very lofty title for someone's who's been around for all of 10 or 12 yrs
especially compared to legends like tina turner, diana ross, janet jackson, whitney houston, aretha franklin, celine dion, cher, madonna, etc.
It's hard to compare singers intergenerations. The older singers will already have established their position and be labelled "legends"...it's like comparing old classic novels to new novels...you can't do it. I just say that Christina is the most powerful performer of her generation :)
i agree w recordgrooves & Ksouzey--you must never have listened to james brown or even know the first thing about him if you think this performance is better than the original song
really bravo Christina Aguilera , you have try hard to sing that great legend famous song; though u are far from performing it.
at the end let me say that maybe u are great singer too , but ,it would be best to choose other songs , you can sing whatever u want except man'world because that man called james is really great , khalid from morroco
SCOUSERKJAK and GSUSWALKS open up just a little. This not Christina portraying James Brown. How ridiculous would that be? Appreciate the new rendition never forgetting the classic.
I know it;s a whole new version, but i dont like it tough... the beginning ain;t bad but eventually she is pretty much screwin up the song without comparing it to james'version. We all know she can sing likke omg :P but why does she has to show that so much that it will lose the beaty of a song... here song beautifful was absolutely perfect this is said to say it rubbish
She rocked that joint. She really should remake the song it would song really good. She doesn't have do all that screaming but her voice went with the music.
Dont come to hate me... but this version you cant even compare to james browns 1968 apollo version... I honestly must say I hate this version it seems she has to show in every song she makes she can get to every tone and keep it for a anoying long time... The Godfather of Soul screams in a decent beautifull way.. this hurts my ears!!
She was pulling this from the depths of her soul...I got chills when I saw this for the first time. LOL it was a good thing that they made Beyonce go before her. Don't get me wrong I love B but her grammy performance was not her best...
01:5001:56 WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT??? Now if someone tells me Christina has the best high notes in the world blah,blah I have a reason to punch em in the face.
its preety funny how you say that, im not sure if you have ever read punk lyrics before, but they come preety close to under ground hip hop. they sing of the same thing, political and life styles, its just a diffrent way of singing a song..
lengendary? are you serious..she just butchered the song...sure she has a great voice...but it doesn't take a great voice to make a great song..or a great cover of a song..she just butchered the real version..WTF!
I am a massive fan of Christina. But to be a fan of Christina you really have to love top of the range high notes and sometimes over singing, which me as a person really loves cause you can feel the emotion they are putting into the song. I also love loud singers and Christina is the one. Apart from the singing Christina as done a lot of people in general. I mean look at " Beautiful ".
Jamie Foxx looked lukewarm and self-conscious at the end, like "Yeah, okay", politely clapping.
----
There are too reasons for that one because he really wanted that part or he was really amazed. and to answer your question she is a great singer because mostly her voice in her records she does not butcher most of her voice for example britney spears does butcher her voice in most of her videos and beyonce sounds very tired when she starts in a concert but it still extremly amazing.
Christina has an awesome voice, she is a legend, not just anybody sings a major Jame's Brown song, she sang it and she nailed it, NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER THAN CHRISTINA!!!!, if you don't like Christina then don't waste your time on looking at her amazing achievements!!!!!

Is Christina a good singer because she's REALLY loud
and screams with a wavering kind of rasp to it?
Or is the idea to have a conniption fit in a very precise, calculated and controlled way?
Or to do something that physically most people cannot do? Is that what "good" means?
I don't get it. Can anybody tell me what qualities
in her singing make it so nice for you? Help me out.
