As two of music’s most noted icons, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson have been the subject of many a tribute.
The latest comes courtesy of one of this generation’s greatest talents – Christina Aguilera.
Diva Xtina took to the stage on last night’s episode of ‘The Voice’ in support of the Team she coaches. Together, the trio performed a high-octane medley of Jackson classics including Janet’s ‘Black Cat’, MJ’s ‘Bad’, and the sibling’s 1995 chart-topping collaboration ‘Scream’.
Watch Aguilera and co in action below…
We’re rarely moved by pro’s pairing up with upcomers in this way, as it only re-affirms how amateur certain acts are (in this case, the male contestant Matthew).
Still, a solid showing from Christina – one that has us salivating at the prospect of her toying with a Rock-meets-R&B sound ala the songs performed here.
Tidbit: That entrance walk was….everything. Werk!
She did a great job i always love when she performs on The Voice and wow she is SO BEAUTIFUL.
Christina girl, you will forever have my respect for this. Janet has been blacklisted for so long and now you’ve helped to introduce the new kids coming up to her music.
That walk in the beginnin tho!!! WEEEEERK BISH WEEEEERK!!
Xtina knows what’s up! Janet is legendary!
Legend X slays again.
You know what……why did you have to slay me so early in the morning Christina? Just why!
YESS YESS YESS …….. THAT WALK AT THE BEGGINING WAS EVERYTHING , VOICE ON POINT , LOVE THE MEDLEY OF THE JACKSONS ……. GR8 JOB TEAM XTINA {SLAYED MY HEART }
this performance was everything! xtina, really took me back to her ‘dirty’ days!!! she looked and sounded amazing, as well as the other 2 kids!
chrissy did that! you better praise queen janet and king michael! woohoo!
This performance gave me everything! I loved the medley of Michael and Janet songs. Christina has that spark in her eyes again, that her fans miss.
Keep it up, Christina!
I won’t lie,this really took my breath away. We’ll done Chrissy!
*Well done
PERFECTION!!! Queen JANET AND KING MJ will forever be at the TOP of PERFECTION!
Did this n**** just call Matthew an amateur act?
The dude is a vocalist and she ropes him in on stage trying to get him to growl and sing rock like if its his style.
Give Matthew a ballad and he’ll blow Christina’s Lion King Soundtrack vocals out of the water!
Wow! Miss Aguilera is waking me The F*** up! I see Chrissy is getting that fire back in 2013! Loev It! JJ & MJ are simply 2 of the best to have ever done it! It’s always a pleasure to see them get a much deserved tribute!
You’re so right! I love Xtina for this!
YYYAAAAASSSSS Christina Aguilera!!! Bow down and pay homage to Janet Jackson & Michael Jackson!!!!!
But that blonde Selma Simpson curly puuurrrrmmm ‘do?!? Hmmmmm…..
They should’ve had Christina do the whole thing alone. Her voice is not all back yet, but I haven’t seen this kind of raw passion, energy and fire from her since her Back to Basics reign. I loved this performance.
I agree with you. She has the FIYAH in her belly during this performance. Whether this applies to her, I can’t say, but when some singers step out of their comfort zone, be it different producers, performing cover songs by legends/icons or singing alongside other vocal talents and legends, it pushes them further, sometimes subconsciously even too, cos in the back of their mind they have a lot to live up to or prove 🙂

People underestimate Christina a lot but she has one of the most versatile voices of today. She can do a lot. Loved this performance and loved that she sung one of Janet’s less well known hit singles.
Correction black cat and scream are well known hit singles
I think Christina is gearing up to show the world why shes such a LEGEND !!! This woman can sing any f****** genre and deliver. People may pick on her. Tease her about her weight. Call her a flop. But 1 thing people cant deny is how talented this woman truly is. I got chills from this performance and i have NO DOUBT her next album/era will be absolutely AMAZING !
It was just ok for me, not really songs I would pick for a vocal competition due to the high octane energy one must put forth to do ANY KIND OF JUSTICE to an uptempo Janet or Michael song but kudos for the Jackson tribute. I am however glad Christina is embracing that she’s no longer a soprano and is staying in her naturally lower alto range. It’s much more pleasurable in the ears to hear her not screaming, she has a beautiful ALTO voice
i’m proud of you baby girl!
I’m proud of my baby too!
Actually, Christina is still a soprano, she just developed a new style of singing. Either way you look at it, this performance, with her team, is very solid!
She`s got that fire and sass back! No other female right now out in the industry for the exception of beyonce could pull off this performance,again christina has proven she`s the real deal and truly make u question why people like kesha,katy perry,rihanna and the rest are popular and have so much success!Imagine the AMAS are going to give rihanna an icon award,well blow me the f##k down!
I’m never a fan of Janet and Michael tributes. Most acts can’t give what Janet or MJ can/could…they’re either boring or over sung. But Christina did a really great job. Didn’t care too much for the other guys but that’ cool. And the fact that it was more of tribute to Janet of course made my day.
Oh WERK IT HUNNY! love it! and yes, like everyone said, the entrance was just amazing! I hope Xtina’s next era is something like this, with a rock flavah, so she can were it like this!!!!!
You better stan, sis.
WOW that WALK in the beginning. FIERCEEEEEEE. Work it Girl!!This is the Christina Aguilera that I LOVED. Feisty, Fiery, Fierce.
So nice tribute to Michael and Janet Jackson!! Michael and Janet are legends<33
Christina I need you to channel this energy into your new album!
