Pop vocalist Christina Aguilera took centre stage at the NBA Finals (Game 7) a few moments ago to perform the US national anthem (‘The Star Spangled Banner’). It marks the second time the 29 year old has performed the song this week (she, again, performed it at an NBA game this week).
In any case, check out how she fared below…
Though a little strained in places, Ms. Aguilera, once again, showcased just why she is head and shoulders above many a Pop pretender (vocally). Great rendition.
I liked it better the first time, still not bad though!!
there were some strained parts, but overall a very, very good performance (as usual!)
What an ugly, self indulgent rendition….
Xtina shut the house down !!!
LOL if Butchriah tried hitting these notes she’d s*** herself.
Xtina FTW.
Before all the Hatin Mariah & Beyonce stans flood in let me say what i gotta…
Somehow XTina improved on the last performance! wow she is to amazing, i know i’m gonna have to redress some of the innevetable hate & jealousy later on so that is all for now. XTina owns the throne.
XTINA KILLS IT AGAIN
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
she’s married shouldn’t you refer to her as Mrs. Aguilera
If trentisha had coverd this story he would have thrown a hella lotta shade at Xtina the best vocalist in the world……thanks samantha !!!!
Mariah = irrelivant.
Mariah/Beyonce stans where you at ?
no hate yet ? haters takin a break ?
i liked this one even better than the first one … i WILL buy the album ! The girl is oozing charisma everywhere she goes even when she’s not moving !
solid… I like the first better, but Xtina always does a great job!
I wish she just went into her falsetto/whistle more on the big belty notes 🙁
Mariah’s was better. happy DANBOFFICIALL ? =D
Wow. Two times in a row?? RCA must really be desperate to pull in some album sales, after the disastrous first week.
Dan,
You’re an Aaliyah stan??? I just noticed her name . Damn. Talk about very insulting. I feel really bad for the woman.
STRAIN-TINA SOWN LIKE HER VOICE IZ LEAVIN.
MAYB CUZ ALL SHE DO IZ YELL N SHE DONT SING,LIKE BEY
FACE IT HER TYME IZ UP!!
ON TOO DA NEXT ONE
<——————————————————————————————————————————
@BEYDABESS that Beyonce Avatar is horrible, couldnt you have found a prettier picture ?
It was no better than the her rendition from yesterday.
She’s always doing notes that aren’t even necessary.
@danHOofficial,YO HATTIN IZ HORRABLE,CANT U GIT A LIFE?
<———————————————————————————————-
lol it was FLAWLESS as always! Xtina owns the throne.
We’re a little critical of Chrissy these days, aren’t we? More than half the artist in the industry now can’t pull off what she did. If this is an off night to some of you then how do you even justify the horrendous live vocals for most of these women in the last few post made.
This flop b*tch can’t sing at all!!! Her voice is annoying and she is always straining and doing those horrid growls, or grunts should I say. Just HORRIBLE.
Once again, just like her last rendition, she was perfect until the end. When she did “and the rockets red GLARE” she went off key. Then when she did her “and the land of the FREEE” she STILL couldn’t hit the FREE note, so she had to start doing that “AHHHH YAHHHH AAHHHH YAHHHH.”
Her voice is so amazing and if she would have taken care of it without all that damn grunting and screaming, she would still be able to hit those notes. Mariah didn’t take care of her voice and that’s why it’s like it is now at age 40. Christina has 11 more years to get it together. And of course Whitney didn’t take care of her voice with all that crack/cocaine induced into her system, that’s why she sounds like she does most of the time.
Celine Dion is the PERFECT example of how the maintain and take care of your vocals because she is still killin’ ANY and EVERYBODY!
Anyways, still good performance, better than most!
WOW
I like Beyonce, just a nasty pic !!!!
Good points Team Weezy… I love Whitey and Mariah more than Celine, but she did maintain. Right now Xtina is a level beneath her, but still better than most. We’ll see what happens in another 10 years.
STRAINtina GROWLtina CRACKtina FLOPtina SCREECHtina WACKtina GAYtina PALEtina DESPERATEtina HASBEENtina GAGAtina BRITtina BITTERtina 111Ktina
Not even HALF WAY through her WACK ASS career and already STRAINING LIKE SHE actually had a LONG CAREER. The B**** CRACKS during every performance NOW SHAME.
lol can this girl ever not do a performance with so much grunting and all of that other ridiculous crap? goodness gracious! and i see someone yet again managed to bring mariah and beyonce’s names up. christina fans are so threatened by other female artists that it’s not even funny.
and please get over it. mariah doesn’t sing like she did 20 years ago but she still has a great voice when getting the vocal rest she needs. none of you know why she lost some of her vocal power and the last time i heard it was because of the nodules she has on her throat. but if she removes the nodules there is a possibility that her whistle register could be damaged.
Painful GLARES and FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
She made the same mistake the first time….why not falsetto the FREE?
And is the growling really necessary.
And to be honest how much better is she than her peers? Jennifer Hudson could blow Christina our of the water and where ad Beyonce voice isnt as rich….its kinda like Whitney and Mariah…..Beyonce say can do tons of things Christina just could never pull off. Just like Mariah could pull off things Whitney never could.
ALRITE,I JUSS WATCH DA VIDEO AGIN,Y SHE KEEP GROWLIN?
IS SHE A WEREWOLF?
N Y HER VOICE SO DEEP NOW?
SHE LOOSIN IT YALL
2011 BEY GONNA SLAY ALL DEM POP N R N B HOEZ
YALL MAD?
IN the BEGINNING she sounds like a damn MAN. She looks like a T***** and sounds like one TOO. Her BOOTY probably STINK. She don’t look like she WASHED. And it looks like one of her FANGS at the BOTTOM is missing. SHE A HOT TRAILER TRASH MESS. With her FIRECRACKER breath. DISGUSTING.
@ Team Weezy. I like you, you got a good head on your shoulders. But ummm Celine has been lyping for the past two decades.
SHE SOWN LIKE SHE NEED TO EAT A BAG OF CORFF DROPS!!!!!
LETS KEEP IT REEL,DAT WAZ A HOT MESS,I ADMIT DAT WEN SHE CAME OWT N 1999,HER VOICE WAZ DA BIZNESS,BUT SHE ONLY 29,Y SHE SOWN LIKE SHE GOT 300 D**** STUCK N HER THROAT?
HOW YO VOICE GONNA B GONE N U ONLY 10 YEERS N DA GAME?
WTF WAZ SHE DOIN 2 GIT HER VOICE SO MESS UP?
Yeah. I’m very fed up with this crap about Mariah. What these idiots don’t realize is that this woman has been using her voice non stop for 20 years and there is bound to be some wear and tear. At least Mariah has an excuse and didn’t damage her voice because of cigarettes (Aretha) and crack (Whitney.)
We’ll see how Christina sounds when she turns 40. From the way she sings with her bad vocal technique, she won’t have much of a voice left.
Mike,
Christina’s performance was nice but not mind blowing. Her unnecessary growling is absurd. She needs some vocal training to learn how to sing the proper way because her voice won’t last long. I also agree that Jennifer Hudson would definitely give Christina a run for her money. Jennifer has a more powerful voice.
When Whitney and Mariah were around Christina’s age, they never had any vocal problems the way Christina does now.
@ BEYDABESS
BECAUSE The B**** CAN’T SING. Her voice is OVERRATED. Give a WHITE TRAILER TRASH H** a mic, MAKE HER DO SOME RUNS, and she automatically supposed to be A MUSICAL GENIUS. She sounds like a cross between a NON SINGING COUNTRY STAR and that annoying SEAGULL VOICE OF SHAKIRA.
whats the point of of doing it twice? lord knows i’m not gonna watch it twice. or even buy the album once.
talk abt being an attention w**** =/
^^^^^^LMAO
@yafavecouldneva,DATS TRU!! LOL
a lil overdone! she sounds like she has no upper register but still a good job.
That was just awful. Wat drugs are u using Sam honey?

SHE NEEDS TO SING THE SONG L O W E R !! SHE IS DOING HERSELF N O FAVOURS!!! SHE HAS CLEARLY LOST A L O T OF RANGE – OR IS NOT USING PROPER TECHNIQUE AND SO CANNOT USE ALL OF HER RANGE!!
SHE SOUNDED A MESS! SORRY BUT MOST OF IT WAS AWFUL!!!!

@ KENNEY

I NEVER HEARD CHRISTINA START OFF A SONG BY SHOUTING (RING THE ALARM), I NEVER HEARD CHRISTINA END A SONG SCREAMING (LISTEN)……
BEYDABESS ALWAYS HAS TO THROW BEYAWNCE’S NAME IN EVERY POST THAT’S NOT ABOUT HER.
AT LEAST CHRISTINA DOESN’T NEED HER PARENTS MANAGING HER CAREER…..
AT LEAST CHRISTINA CAN STAND ON HER OWN TWO FEET….
AT LEAST CHRISTINA DIDN’T NEED TO BE A LEAD SINGER OF A GIRL GROUP JUST TO GET FAMOUS!
BEYAWNCE CAN’T ACT EITHER! OBSESSED WAS HORRIBLE BUT THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS WAS A LOT WORSE. AND WHO GAVE HER A PART IN AUSTIN POWERS.

YOU MENTION HER FAT ASS IN EVERY F****** POST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!
COME CORRECTED WITH PROPER SPELLING AND GRAMMAR NEXT TIME YOU PATHETIC R*****!
O.K…so…ignoring the blatant disregard for the ACTUAL issue at hand….let me just say: The first half of Christina’s performance (despite the minor rifts and runs here and there) was phenomenal. The amount of power she packs is relentless and breath taking. That being said, I wholly agree that she should have employed her whistle register for those high notes, as she was singing several keys higher than usual *kudos for that btw.* Her growl belt thingy’s were overused in this. They have their own affect, and using them on maybe one or two words MAXIMUM would have brought more power and showcase to the performance. Overusing them was, amongst other things a mistake. However, her soulfullnes and power was incredible. Comparing Mariah with Christina is absurd. Their voices are dimensions apart. [ **** / ***** ]
YES@ cookie monster
Xtina > Mariah
*ALL DONE*
LMAOOOOO @ BEYDABESS FUNNY AS HELL!!
NOW LET ME SLAY dis B****

Well done, Christina! Beautiful!
The deluxe version of Bionic should be the only version released. Half of the good stuff is in the deluxe version, including “Monday Morning,” “Bobblehead,” “Birds of Prey” and “Stronger than Ever.” These tracks along, with “Bionic” and “Elastic Love,” are the standout tracks. There are plenty of other good songs, and in fact, there are only a few misses, like the high-concept, low-execution “S** for Breakfast.”
We just buy deluxe version Bionic.
Only stupid people buy standard version lol.
LOL@YAFAVECOULDNEVA

HELL YES.
@TheKiddz
She lipped for the Vegas shows she did, but two decades? Hell no! Of course she would lip during the Vegas shows because those were two or three shows a week. And I’m not saying she hasn’t lipped for any other event/show but unlike Mariah and Whitney, she has taken care of her voice. All three are around the same age (40+). The most recent televised performance she did was this year’s Grammy’s when she did a small tribute to MJ. She was NOT lip synching. Mariah and Whitney would not sound that good AT ALL!
@DanBOfficial
Please refrain from the constant reference to Americans and how music is successful without America. Yes, an artist/album can be successful without America, but do you realize the most successful artists were all very successful in the U.S? The best-selling artists of ALL TIME sold the most in America, no? That’s including European artists! Alot of artists wouldn’t be as successful as they are without America, that is the main reason that artists from other countries sign with companies in America and release their music in America. DUH! Take Kelly Rowland for instance, although she is an American artist, she is VERY successful in Europe and other countries, however she is not successful in the U.S. That is the main reason she is not an overall successful artist.
They were DEAD wrong for having her strained out voice come back and sing the national anthem again. WTF were they thinking? They should have gotten BRANDY.
Hell or Pink…I’m tired of this s***.
Xtina is flopping in most European countries and had the lowest #1 UK debut. The album is a flop. Why can’t stans just let it go and enjoy the album you have?
You’re embarassing yourselves by trying to convince us her album is some smash.
DIVA Christina Aguilera!!!
She must have been a good luck charm because the Lakers won. Yay go Lakers!
@RICHARD
awwwwww, sam and trent don’t like the album so you just agree to follow their opinion..theres a word for people like you….SHEEP.
come back to this site when your able to form your own opinion honey B.
The performance was awful. There’s one thing if a singer can’t sing but its another thing when the singer can sing and they are trying way to hard. The performance was loud and annoying and it really wasn’t that necessary. Christina could have whispered the song and it would have sounded great. She should have kept it simple instead of trying to be grand.
Love it, never the same performance twice. She is one of the few singers that I never get tired of. Go Xtina!
TERRIBLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS F***** AMAZING! HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WAS LIVE?
WHOA? THAT SOUNDED BETTER THAN EVERY SONE ON
RIHANNAS RATED MARS, MARIAHS ANGELS ADVO QUIT, AND
BEYONCES LAST LP. XTINA IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN KILL
IT LIKE THIS LIVE, WHICH SHE HAS BEEN FOR THREE ALBUMS
DURING LIVE PERFORMANCES. THESE 12 YEAR OLD STANS
UP IN THIS ROOM ONLY DREAM THAT THERE PRETTY FACES
ARTISTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL OR EVEN HALF THE ABILITY
TO SING LIKE THIS. GOOD LUCK RIRI, GET A MODELING JOB,
BECAUSE THAT LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH EM THE OTHER DAY
MADE YOU LOOK LIKE ITS TIME TO RETIRE RIRI. AND MARIAH
WALMART WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THAT SO CALLED SINGING??
XTINA IS SLAYING YOU GUYS. TAKE A HIKE HATERS. YOUR STILL
JEALOUS!
XTINA > every other female in the game.
if there is a next time maybe she should learn the words!
