Christina Aguilera Rehearses John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’

Published: Monday 13th Sep 2010 by Sam

Christina Aguilera may have been stripped of her pride and likeability as of late (see: ‘Bionic’ sales); yet if there’s one thing no one can take away from the 29 year old – it’s her voice. The mother of one was filmed rehearsing for a charity gig last night, blowing all in attendance away with a powerful rendition of John Lennon‘s classic ‘Imagine’.

Peep the clip after the jump…

  3. ALLAN September 13, 2010

    Nothing wrong with he voice, Its the f*** that listen to Perez that have the problem.

    Like what you want and don’t follow the hype!

  4. Jay September 13, 2010

    Um….struggling?? what video were you watching @JJ …that was awesome.

    Christina is always so disrespected man. It’s ridiculous, but I guess the generation of music lovers right now are more into the non-talented gimmicks. This fad will be over soon enough.

  6. Antom September 13, 2010

    Clearly @Mr. M is obsessed with Beyonce, because he never fails to mention her in every single post. Love it!

  11. hermes September 13, 2010

    you all can tell her whatever you want to but…she’s simply amazing and her voice is perfect!!let’s go beyond Bionic sales to figure out she’s one of the most beautiful voices on earth <3

  12. Sarah September 13, 2010

    It sucked and she sounded like crap.

    That was a really bad song to choose.

  13. hermes September 13, 2010

    @ Jay I love you 🙂

  14. Delois86 September 13, 2010

    she sounds amazing!! whoever says she doesn’t is not used to someone having talent.

  15. OUPS I S*** ON YOU AGAIN September 13, 2010

    ..So she still alive?
    What about promoting your own album xtina?

  16. thekiddz September 13, 2010

    It’s finally happening, her improper technique is causing her voice to go through something it shouldn’t be…yet.

  17. jj September 13, 2010

    why people will jealous to someone who has bad attitude and not so popular… she can sing ofcourse but shes not the only one can sing! and by the way mariah has the best voice!

  18. Chile Please! September 13, 2010

    @ JAY I DIDN’T SEE THE VIDEO BUT I AGREE SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH WITH WHAT YOU SAID. IT’S LIKE NOW A DAYS THE ARTIST THAT CAN’T SING BUT CAN POP THEIR ASS ON STAGE & BE CUTE GET ALL THE PROPS…BUT THE REAL SINGERS THAT CAN BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF WITH A STRONG POWERFUL VOICE JUST GET BY PASSED!! I JUST DON’T GET IT!!!???

  19. topman September 13, 2010

    Her voice is so damaged, she needs some lessons if she’s gonna preserve it.

    Oh, and John Lennon is turning in his grave, all those unnecessary runs would be his worst nightmare.

  20. MISHKA September 13, 2010

    Isn’t she 19 on that pic?

  21. TheYoungLion September 13, 2010

    Its just a f****** rehearsal she’s learning the words and going over the arrangement. Wait for the actual video of her performance before you come with all that b*******. Her voice is fine, she as always is puttin her spin on a classic. Who the f*** wants to hear her sing it exactly how John Lennon did? Thats called karaoke/American Idol. Professional singers adapt any material to fit them. You kids need to know what the f*** you are actually talking about.

  22. FUTURESTARdelux September 13, 2010

    No1. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HATING ON XTINA, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS ALWAYS HATED ON, YES SHE IS A B**** SOMETIMES BUT WHO ISN’T?
    WE ALL KNOW BEYONCE WAS A B**** IN DC BUT SHE HIDES IT WELL NOW, GAGA HAS SACKED LIKE 150 PEOPLE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE ACTUALLY HAD BODY GUARDS DRAG A T*** GIRL UP TO HIS HOTEL SUITE SO HE COULD SHOUT AT HER JUST BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE PREFERED A DIFFERENT N SYNC GUY BUT JUST BECAUSE XTINA SPEAKS HER MIND SHE’S A B****…. SMH

    No2. HATERS SIT THE F*** DOWN HER VOICE SOUNDED AMAZING, THAT IS F****** SOUL SOMETHING MOST SINGERS AT THE MOMENT ARE SADLY MISSING.
    WHEN I HEARD THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY HAD TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE, THAT’S THE 2ND TIME SHE’S DONE THAT TO ME AFTER HER “LIFT ME UP” PERFORMANCE ON HELP FOR HAITI.

    No3. PEOPLE NEED TO GET OVER “BIONIC” YEAH IT FLOPPED BUT SO WHAT EVERYBODY HAS ONE, IF THE NEW SONGS GAGA IS SHOWING US ARE ANYTHING TO GO BY SHE DESERVES TO FLOP WITH HER NEW ALBUM WAY MORE THAN XTINA DID.

    THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION AND I THINK JOHN LENNON WOULD HAVE ENJOYED IT, SHE PUT HER HEART INTO IT AND DIDN’T JUST COPY HIS STYLE.

  23. Realvoice September 13, 2010

    Why is it that we are hating on her. IDK if anyone watched the VMAs last night. but most of the artists sucked live. She can Sing, and very well at that. It’s a shame that we can’t appreciate that.

  24. Sarah September 13, 2010

    ^^We appreciate real talent, but it’s not hard to see that Christina’s voice is deteriorating and she’s not even 30.

    You stans need to get out of denial.

  25. Richard September 13, 2010

    She’s got a gorgeous voice, but ‘Imagine’ is a song which needs great subtlety and emotion. Christina is trying too hard, and this is one of the ocassion where no matter how good your voice is, if you over-sing the track, then the audience are going to be left cold.

  26. OddOne September 13, 2010

    She sounded alright… didn’t help that the song is one of the biggest drear-fests ever written.

    What a shite song.

  27. True Diva September 13, 2010

    Sang it Chrissy!!! That girl can saaannnggg!!!!!! Brittany or Gaga aint got sh** on u ma! Ppl r so obsessed with who’s more popular they forget about “real” talent!

  28. True Blue September 13, 2010

    Says the person who never had any pride and likability in the first place (oh yeah, I went there).

    Anyway, those 42 seconds of her singing were GREAT. Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise that her voice doesn’t have the same prowess it once did, now she’s singing instead of screaming. And I hate it when classic, untouchable songs are covered by contemporary artists, cause most of them will f*** it up, but Christina will do a great job with this.

  29. Faye September 13, 2010

    Why the constant hate for this beautiful talented woman on this site???? Get a life and leave her alone. Her voice has not changed at all, she sounds the same as shes always sounded, its a rehearal as the article says so obviously its not gonna be perfect idiots, she will not lose her voice for a very longggggggggggggggggggg time so deal with it. Sam yes the album didnt do well, move on and get over it, stop talking about it in every article about her, its old news now.

  30. Kweli69j September 14, 2010

    love it…wanna hear the full version…

  31. jade September 14, 2010

    I honestly do not get why people are hating on Christina she has undoubtedly an amazing voice and can sing like there is no tomorrow. The raspiness and grit of her voice is what makes her unique and a voice we all can spot a mile off. Let the girl sing! Bionic is an amazing album full of great songs its so sad it wasn’t received well but i bet she will be back in the studio recording in no time. I personal can not wait to hear more from her and think she has the voice of a generation. ps: Perez Hilton is not the voice of all gay men can i just say that!

  32. FUTURESTARdelux September 14, 2010

    ^^^ AGREED! EVERY GAY MAN BESIDES PEREZ HILTON HATES PEREZ HILTON.

  33. MUSIC LOVER September 14, 2010

    “Imagine” is not a song you oversing!!!!

  34. True Blue September 14, 2010

    “EVERY GAY MAN BESIDES PEREZ HILTON HATES PEREZ HILTON.”

    LMAOOOO, that’s so true!!! He is to the gay community what Flavor Flav is to the black community. The embodiment of negative stereotypes that we all want to get rid of.

  35. Xtina_Fighter September 14, 2010

    That’s right.

    Christina Aguilera does not give a F*CK what anybody thinks. She basically only cares about her family, friends and charities. That’s it and that’s all. She is going to keep being her epic nonchalant self and keep speaking her mind and keep being the best, most epic bad*ss vocalist of all time.

    Haters want to see AMAZINGLERA fail so badly or become crazy but she keeps winning at life. She does NOT care whether you purchase Bionic or not. Do you understand? Poor haters, stay disturbed by Xtina’s epicness.

    Amazinglera, keep doing your thing!

  36. Exposed September 14, 2010

    Original is better. Xtina suxxx!!

  37. Xtina_Fighter September 14, 2010

    Christina Aguilera has the coolest singing style EVER.

    It’s been 12 years now since “Reflection” and I keep being amazed by those vocals. It’s like a magical power! LOL

    Ridiculously epic.

  38. Anthony September 14, 2010

    Yes Christina has probably one of the greatest voices that pop has ever heard, but this performance was TERRIBLE, the song ‘Imagine’ is more suppressed emotion than the melisma she brings to it. Don’t judge her off this performance.

  39. velade September 15, 2010

    BIONIC was EPIC, yea it may have flopped in America but that’s because all the chart’s are being swallowed up by pathetic so called “artists” like chris brown and rhianna. Bionic was an electronic inspired album with an entirely different style of singing. All you people who dislike it either didnt give it A chance or your just too narrow minded to know A masterpiece when you see one, You people seriously need to get A grip!

  40. Phoenyxx September 26, 2010

    It’s alright…I just think she’s doing a bit too much with all the riffs & runs…
    The song is melodically simple for a reason…
    Her voice is on point, though.
