@ mrdiva...

there were quite a few articles on youtube under the catergory of "christina belts". i choose the one 'christina aguilera vs beyonce vs kelly clarkson (live belts). yes, i concede there were instances where she/all sounded a steaming hot mess. i'm going to give my ears a rest and check out some more.

of course, her record company would not allow the release her new cd if it sounded even as close to as bad as some of what i just heard. i've never heard her sound so horrid.

bey sounded ragged too. kelly came as the best of the three!
