Christina Aguilera Performs ‘Show Me How You Burlesque’ On ‘Dancing’

Published: Wednesday 24th Nov 2010 by Trent

Christina Aguilera is trying to ensure that her ‘Burlesque’ project will be a success. The Pop diva visited the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ finale to perform ‘Show Me How You Burlesque’ with her troop of dancers. Peep her showing below:

While generally vocally impressive, it is blatantly obvious that Aguilera is not the type of performer that should simultaneously sing and dance. She has clearly gained a lot of weight in the recent months and her entire performance here (and on the American Music Awards) was quite sloppy.

Maybe next time Aguilera should let the dancers do what they are being paid to do and just focus on her singing. Just a thought.

Thoughts?

    Oh, she’s pregnant alright. Now there’s just no hiding it.

  2. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 24, 2010

    BTW, I thought the performance was good. Of course she can sing and dance at the same time (Back 2 Basics Tour anyone?), but it’s no secret that she’s been recently having difficulties with her vocal performances whether dancing OR standing still. Spare me that b*******.

  3. Daniel November 24, 2010

    She sounded great that time.

  4. THEREALNICKY November 24, 2010

    MY EARS HURT FROM ALL THAT SCREAMING THIS OVER WEIGHT HYPO DID.

  5. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 24, 2010

    @ PsychoFan:

    A Rihanna stan has no room to talk about other people singing, especially when it’s artists with more talent in one pinky then your girl has in her whole body.

  6. THEREALNICKY November 24, 2010

    @TRUE BLUE

    AND B**** U STAN FOR FLORENCE AND THE FLOPCHINE.

    DID YOU NOT SEE THAT B**** SNL PERFORMANCE. SHE WAS HORRIBLE AT ITS BEST.

    QUEEN RIHANNA WOULD NEVER.

  7. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 24, 2010

    “QUEEN RIHANNA WOULD NEVER.”

    You’re right, she could NEVER sound that good.

    Florence and Christina at their worst >>>>>>>>>> Rihanna at her best.

  8. THEREALNICKY November 24, 2010

    @TRUE BLUE

    YOU ARE SUCH A TYPICAL F***** HATER. U WISH U WAS RIHANNA. U WISH U HAD HER HAIR AND U COULD WEAR HER CLOTHES. YOU WISH U HAD HER BODY.

    DO SOCIETY A FAVOR AND KILL YOURSELF GAY BOY.

  9. dang November 24, 2010

    A Critic on Burlesque:

    “An overwrought, underwritten hootchy-kootchy tuner that desperately wants to be “Cabaret,” but lacks the edge and historical context to pull it off.”

    LMAO 😆

    @ PsychoNicky:

    I love how I don’t even have to TRY with you, you do an almighty job of embarrassing yourself!

    Keep up the good work, Nicky! Meanwhile I’ll go pop some popcorn and enjoy more of your delusions! Keep ’em coming, because you are HILARIOUS!!!

  19. FLOP FAIL GARGLE-Tina November 24, 2010

    & the Critics have Spoken…

    As if her album didnt already get bad enough reviews.

  20. Juan November 24, 2010

    @ The Real Nicky

    Please tell your lovely Rihanna that Halloween is over. She must stop showing us her frightening vocals.

    I don’t know why Rihanna fans hate other artists Let’s face it, Rihanna can’t sing or dance. She just records successful singles, but that’s all. Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue, etc are really GOOD ARTIST. Though they don’t sell as good as Rihanna, that’s the truth 🙂

  21. Nichole November 24, 2010

    Lol. Christina can’t dance. However, vocally she was on point with this performance. And uhhh…I highly doubt Christina is pregnant. By who? Jordan? Even though they split, though I know things happen.

    Christina is not pregnant. She’s just depressed, and have been eating a lot lately.

    @ THE REAL NICKY-

    YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT GOAT GIRL DEBUTING AT #3 SO TO MAKE GOAT GIRL LOOK BETTER YOU TRY TO TEAR DWN CHRISTINA!

    AND SO WHAT IF LOUD SOLD MORE THAN BIONIC DID, IT’LL HAVE THE BIGGEST DROP ON THE CHARTS JUST LIKE BIONIC DID AND THEN GOAT GIRL’S LABEL WILL RE-RELEASE LOUD 3 MORE TIMES TO TRY TO MILK THE LACK OF REVENUE

    WELL CHRISTINA’S NOW SITTING AT HOME ENJOYING A NICE GLASS OF WINE WHILE MAX IS EATING A “RONALD MCDONALD” HAPPY MEAL AND GUESS WHAT THE TOY IS…??? A GOAT WITH RED TRACKS!!!!

  23. XTINA IS AN ICON HERE IN THE UK & WORLD WIDE!! November 24, 2010

    XTINA IS PREGNANT!!! IS VERY OVIOUS, BUT WHO IS THE DADDY???? SHE WAS AMAZING AN SPECTACULAR!! HATERS SHUT YOUR F****** ASSHOLE , YOU JUST F****** JEALOUS. STOP NOW M************. XTINA WAS AMAZING IN BURLESQUE!! IM ALREADY HAVE MY BURLESQUE SOUNDTRACK + MY FANDANGO TICKETS!! MEDNIGHT JUST TONIGHT!!

  24. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 24, 2010

    @ Nichole:

    I see a bump. Perhaps I could be wrong, but she looks pregnant to me.

  25. the kiddz November 24, 2010

    Did all the weight go to her breast? They’re looking extra plump. Anywho, she has great stage presence and her vocals were great. The run @ 2:35 is a rare instance of a good Christina run.

  26. the kiddz November 24, 2010

    *b******* plural…it would be weird to have one boob bigger than the other. Lol

  27. iLoveXtina November 24, 2010

    @True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue

    LOL i bet, she LOVES her pickles.

  28. iLoveXtina November 24, 2010

    @XTINA IS AN ICON HERE IN THE UK & WORLD WIDE!!, Nichole

    She’s been rumored to be dating some guy named Max she met during the filming of Burlesque. I REALLY hope she isn’t pregnant, the backlash would be too much.

  29. iLoveXtina November 24, 2010

    Matt* not Max, Max is her 2 year old son, that wouldn’t look cute.

  30. madamxtina November 24, 2010

    Lmfao critics they all haven’t spoken idiots Lmfao. I guess u can’t please all critics right but hey their are positive reviews also of course the haters jump on the negative all the time. Always people start on her weight pretty sad how people like to criticized her for her weight y’all know she don’t give a f***.

  31. Anthony M November 24, 2010

    U guys clearly overexaggerated her performance was good and she entertained well. She’s not a dancer but she kept the momentum up, she didnt look sloppy at all. People are focusing on the fact that she gained weight, with got reason shes going through a divorce.

  32. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 24, 2010

    ^^^ Let’s just hope that if she is pregnant, she is several months along, and it is Jordan’s.

    Otherwise, that would not be a good look if she is barely divorced and carrying another man’s baby already…

  33. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 24, 2010

    ^^ @ ILoveX-Tina.

  34. Anthony November 24, 2010

    She needs to rid herself of the mic: this performance was just wrong because it is musical theatre, and musical theatre is about perfection and repetition in perfection: what was the microphone all about? She couldn’t give the performance justice because she has not been trained theatrically, so it came over very shabby. I am a Christina fan and I know she has talent, but her pop roots really do show in this performance. She does look pregnant but if you are trained in musical theatre it does not matter if you have weight, you learn how to carry yourself. Christina’s weight changes all the time. I wish, in a way, she did go into musical theatre and get trained up the proper way because she has always been too good for pop, but she is too much of her own artist which is bad in theatre because you basically give yourself to the character and its own established art form.

  35. Burlesque November 24, 2010

    It’s a possibility she may be pregnant because that’s a maternity dress.

    Btw: What is so f****** wrong with this performance. I’m not just saying this because i’m an xtina stan but I think this is waay better than what she did with Express at the AMAs…even if i were an xtina hater i would’ve thought this was waay better than the AMAs performance.

    She sounded amazing and for somebody who may be pregnant she sure as hell worked that stage. Her grunting sounds better than somebody who sounds like a bunch of dying cats

  36. bobs November 24, 2010

    She danced better than any fat woman I know.

  37. originaldrfenty November 24, 2010

    DEAD@ a pigtina.

    that failure stays trying for relevancy.

    rihallah wud NEVA!

  38. the kiddz November 24, 2010

    @Drfenty I can’t believe I’m saying this, but comparing Christina to Rihanna is downright insulting. But, you are kinda right; Rihanna could NEVER generate the amount of power Christina (in good technique) can do.

  42. madamxtina November 24, 2010

    How can she be pregnant if she was drinking this past week at the red carpet premier of burlesque the after party. O @ the person who goes on metacritic to look at reviews on burlesque those aren’t even all the reviews dumb ass theirs way more positive ones than just 2.

  43. Nataly November 24, 2010

    THAT WAS A BADASS PERFORMANCE!!! SO PRRROOUUUDD TO BE HER FAN!!! GO BURLESQUE!!!

  44. Burlesque November 24, 2010

    AND LET ME TELL YOU HATERS SOMETHING ELSE TOO..

    JUST BECAUSE 1 CRITIC GAVE THE MOVIE A NEGATIVE REVIEW DOESN’T MAKE IT AN AUTOMATIC FLOP..THERE HAVE BEEN MORE POSITIVE THAN NEGATIVE ANYWAY FROM THIS MOVIE……

  45. sdfgsdg November 24, 2010

    😀

  46. madamxtina November 24, 2010

    Well I can careless about critic’s but its fairing better than glittler crossroads and showgirls. Right now so far 12 positive and 19 negative. Will see by the end of the nightlife more critics review the movie.

  47. Nichole November 24, 2010

    @ MadamXtina. Where are links to the positive reviews? You guys keep mentioning positive reviews, but one of you have posted any links to these reviews.

    From what I’ve read, the film has received mainly mixed to negative reviews.

    Here is a another negative review from The New York Post slamming the movie, and they even compared Burlesque to Glitter.

  48. madamxtina November 24, 2010

    Go to rottentomatos.com you’ll find the positive and negatives come on now y’all need to do ur research. Have u seen the burlesque TV spots they been showing with reviews attached to it also. Its been on TV throughout the day.

  49. Chimier November 24, 2010

    LOL at the playback at 2:36….

  50. DION-ISH November 24, 2010

    WTF is Wrong with some of these Rih Stans Dissing Xtina!?!

    Yall aint Gaga stans!!

    Xtina Admires Rihanna, come on now…..

  51. Queen XTina November 24, 2010

    Rihanna’s a black ghetto b****. Her labia flippers stink. I hope she gets gang-r**** by dykes and gets A*** and dies. Talentless black bore. Yawn.

  52. Gussy November 24, 2010

    UMM, ok that note at the end was amazing. This was a good performance, enough said.

  53. Hot_Acid November 24, 2010

    Pls………… When Rihtardna sold a draction of albums like Xtina besides the dismal 5 mil in US then we talk, Nicky.

    We all know your fav can’t sing or dance! #FACT

  54. Queen XTina November 24, 2010

    Beyonce should eat Rihanna’s maggot-infested black p**** while Gaga ought to watch them wanking her t***** c***. They’re three untalented fugly putas.

    I hope Beyonce gets a miscarriage to spare the world from another black-s****-ghetto constipated-s*** look-alike because Jay Z looks like a living black nipple. Rihanna ought to be gang-r**** by rabid dogs because she’s talentless and f****** ugly. Gaga should grow testicles all over her face and claim that as fashion to get more attention, that Xtina wannabe.

    Queen Xtina will sing on their burials…

  55. FAREASTMOVEMENT November 24, 2010

    loved it! bet you c*** haters would never say that disrepectful s*** that comes out your mouth to her face, you wouldn’t even have the balls to disrespect. C****! that goes to you as well TRENTINA FAGUILERA. BWAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAAJAJAASDFASKFSFOEJifjoi a

  57. JJJ November 24, 2010

    Why you never show the “beautiful” performance ? She did it in this DWTS also. She sounds amazing !!!!

  58. amazing November 24, 2010

    AGAIN, AS IF CHRISTINA DIDN’T LOOK HORRIBLE BEFORE, EVER SINCE THIS DIVORCE SHE’S LOOKED A HOT F***** MESS. LET’S BE REAL…THE VOICE FITS “BURLESQUE” BECAUSE ALL SHE DOES IS OVERSING AND MAKE CABERET MUSIC. HER HAIR, HER MAKE UP, HER OUTFITS…SHE LOOKS DIGUSTING. IT’S OVER BABY GIRL…GO BACK TO EATING THEM BON BONS THAT’VE GIVEN YOU THAT BELLY CUZ THE REST IS A WRAP, SON.

  59. Notyourstand November 24, 2010

    I don’t Stan for no1 but Rihanna stans aren’t the one to talk when it comes to album sales.
    When clearly christina sold in one album more than what Rihanna sold in all previous 4 albums!
    That was a great performance! I hope christina’s movie doesn’t flop and that the soundtrack does well!
    Best of luck to Rihanna with her own project as well.

  60. herrizious November 24, 2010

    wow.. thats a great performance !!! Love u Xtina … xoxo

  63. vegasgirl November 24, 2010

    Thought she sounded good and performed well, just think she is out of practice. She does look sloppy but ehhh whatever, just hope she doesn’t have a Brit Brit breakdown. I will always recognize and respect talent and stage presence which she has always had.

  64. That FLOP Juice November 24, 2010

    SHe looks EXACTLY like when she was pregnant (with Max).

    Maybe another pregnancy? 😉

  65. I DONT THINK SO SWEETIE November 24, 2010

    Please god don’t let her be pregnant I don’t want her taking another long break, I agree she needs to work on her body so she can sing better but seriously trent ? talking about overweight when Mariah been looking like a pick up truck for the past 3 years ? No gurl.

    I noticed how you didint post beautiful trent, f****** hater.

  66. Oggie November 24, 2010

    She sounds amazing performs brilliantly, she is being dissed cos of her weight gain and that is so not cool. putting on weight is not a crime, she is now a single mum trying to push a movie and promote a project, 2 hour workouts and dieting mat not be a priority to her right now, she is a human being who has had a tough year and props to her for carrying on and still sounding and looking amazing no matter what size she is

  67. GangsterA November 24, 2010

    she sounded good and thats tit she looks fat

  68. Beth November 24, 2010

    That last note was so playback,s he lipped it, lol! I don’t lknow, I agree with Trent here, she shld stick to standing and singing cuz ‘dancing’ ain’t the biz and she just looks dishevelled.

    I can’t with her, her runs are so dry and predictable, ‘heeeeyyyy’ how many times! Come with some new runs!

    She better hope that movie does well cuz reviews- hmm chile!

    Your the reason little girls throw up everyday ……true enough she looked sloppy but i personally believe it was a bad choice of weave not belly…cuz i bet the majority of the people who vist this site cant sing and dancing in heels…its even harder when u r a little bigger and she did that….

  71. FUTURESTARdelux November 24, 2010

    @S***, those are critics reviews the pre screenings had over 80% positive reviews, customers are more important than critics.

    @TheRealNicki, how is florence a flop? She writes her own music, composes her own music and always sings live, yeah snl wasn’t her best but she was still better than some and her album has gone 4x platinum in the UK, Platinum in the EU, 4x Platinum in Ireland etc so…

    It was a good performance, better than AMA’s and she danced good, she isn’t a dancer but at least she is trying unlike mimi oh and we all know how big she is….

  72. SEAN November 24, 2010

    hey THEREALNICKY – your mom’s a hippo!

  73. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ November 24, 2010

    Good performance, not great, but good. As for her body……..YIKES!

  74. Bobbi Kruise November 24, 2010

    its funny how certain people will even post a comment on this video.. its like your basically wasting your time and breath doing so.. because at the end of the day she has outsold rihanna nd nick put together her fan base is massive nd will always be.. its just the facts.. although she has been haven a couple rough performances.. every artist is entitled to them hence rihanna nd nick always sound horrible live.. but at the end of the day none of them give a f*** what n e of us are talking about on this post.. but hey just my opinion as i read the comments.. =]

  75. Keith November 24, 2010

    Xtina fan here. Just saw the movie Burlesque and it was cute. If you like the Pussycat Dolls and Cher, you will like it. Now these tv performances leave a lot to be desired. She sounds great and looks horrible.

    Yes, gaining weight IS A SIN in the pop music world. If she is going to be successful there, she needs to play the game fully. Her performances in the movie are an example of how powerful she can be as a pop star. These tv performances drain ALL of that and are lackluster.

    Xtina is VERY talented and can have longevity but really has to pick a lane to re-establish herself and I don’t think this is it. Perhaps she should work with Alicia Keys again….

  76. I Am ME November 25, 2010

    SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! SLOPPY?? WONDER HOW YOU SING B****!! WAKE UP

  77. rob November 25, 2010

    i was almost fooled by that last note

  78. k. November 27, 2010

    i bet dat note sounded even better when she recorded it n rehearsal.

  79. : ) March 14, 2011

    I think you people are rude and need to find something better to do with your time then put other people down. Why don’t get on stage in front of thousands of people and sing and dance and I am sure you aren’t a perfect size six either any of you . RUDE! People should learn to be a lot nicer to others and maybe all of the kids in school wouldnt be having these huge issues with bullying. Get over yourself you dont have a record deal.
