Today saw the music world say goodbye to the late, great Etta James.
The legendary soul singer, who passed away last week, was laid to rest in Los Angeles and was sent off with a stirring televised ceremony, which saw performances from the likes of Christina Aguilera.
Watch the 30 year old blow the roof of the building with potent performance of James’ classic ‘At Last’ below…
An impassioned performance from one of this generation’s greatest vocalists.
The Vocal lessons are helping. She sounds a lot better
Amazing performance! Christina Aguilera is the Voice of our generation! #RIPEttaJames
Raw showing from Christina! Nails the vocal run at the end.
Sack the stylist though! Couldn’t concentrate on the vocals was more concerend that her n****** might slip
and i’m an Xtina mega fan but SACK THAT STYLIST!
Amazing honour to perform all the same
Says a lot that Xtina was the one asked to sing this for Etta’s passing. yeah that other chick sang for Obama, but This Says a lot about who Etta Really preferred. RIP Etta Her Music legacy will live on.
@THE-TRUTH
Please don’t diss Beyonce when it comes to remembering Etta James. I’m not a Beyonce stan. I prefer Christina too, I think she is much more talented, but Bey is also talented.
Remember Etta James together, Christina and Beyoncé fans. 🙂
Im in tears. That was AMAZING.
HOW DARE SHE SING BEYAWNCE’S SONG I mean… well according to BeYAWNce stans, it’s not Ettas James song because she didn’t add her name to the credits.
@ The-Truth Idiot!!! Don’t u think she is home with her baby! Sit back. BTW: Christina did a great job!
R.I.P etta but that VOCALS ARE HOT MESS…..NOBODY CAN TELL ME THATS SINGING AT 3:16 THATS SCREAMING ON TOP OF YOUR LONGS WITH NO CONRTOL AND THAT SOUND <<<<<
OOPS!! Well that says it all. Etta just wasn’t here for a certain fraud at OILZZZ!!!!
^@JER
CHATTING SOME B*******
that was amazing.
R I P Etta James
Etta loves her too.
Truly wonderful !!!!
Ima Mariah C fan But More talented then Beyonce pleas…
She might sound good from F3-G#4 BUT B4 and UP is a VOCAL DAMAGED MESS
Beyonce can Belt naturaly with Control,Resonance,Vibrato etc and she can Do vocal acrobatics Xtin woould dream of such as “MESSA DI VOCE” etc AND A MUCH BETTER PERFORMER
SO SHUT UP WITH MORE TALENTED i THINK MORE NOISY
AND MARIAH C KILLS HER IN LIGHT YEARS
THE SO CALLED “VOICE OF OUR GENERATION” should not strain at C5s and Fail higher an SCREAM to HIT Higher Notes
REGARDLESS OF WHAT ALL THE HATERZ SAY
ITS THE QUEEN BEYONCE WHO MADE MISS ETTA JAMES RELEVANT IN OUR TIME
NONE OF U ALL WOULD NOT EVEN HAVE KNOW OF HER IF IT WAS NOT FOR HER SINGING HER SONG AND ITS THE TRUTH @ THE TRUTH CHANGE IT TOO THE LIESSSSS MORE SUIT YOU
SO MORE POWER TOO BEYONCE 🙂 :)_ 🙂
CHRISTINA DID A WONDERFUL JOB
Sounds better than Beyonce…She ripped it, that’s Christina for you.
Christina, girl what happen to your voice, is it mandatory for you to grunt in every damn song nowadays…
*playsHurtinrememberanceofchristina’svocalcords*
@thattruthful1
Yeah she ripped something alright, them damn vocal cords….
Thank goodness its not Beyonce, it couldv’e been a SNOOZEFEST!
ChristmuthafuckaTINA! B**** YASSS. That ending >>>>>>
Christina is ready to slay the s*** out of all your favs!!!!!!!
Yes Beyonce has a nice voice but can she sing like Christina can? I think not!
THIS WASNT THAT GOOD TO ME
Xtina rocks….
http://www.bellabarbz.b*******.com
STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS ABOUT BEYONCE. SHE IS AT HOME WITH HER BABY…WITH HER GRAMMY FOR “AT LAST” SITTING ON THE SHELF….PROBABLY SHOWING HER DAUGHTER THE VIDEO OF THE TIME SHE SANG IT AT ONE OF THE MOST HISTORICAL EVENTS THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHED. BEY WON….ETTAS DEAD & XTINA WILL TRY TO KEEP RELEVANT BUT NO PERFORMANCE WILL TOP IT.
Personally I prefer Countess Vaughn’s version
YAS OFCORSE @CHRISTINAISCOMING
Xtina cant even SUSTAIN A NOTE ABOVE B4
SHE SCrEAMS to HIT a C5&C#5s lmaoo u serious whil b hits that at sleep with vibrato
Xtinas unsuported lower register <<<
XTinas none resident upper belts<<<
and wack falsetto<<<<
she sounds decent from f3-G#4 everything up sounds strained,choked,screamed etc….and dont forget her out of pitch singing
Mariah C slays her so as Beyonce
I mean Xtina has "unatural power"
She Screams and sings Throughty and raises her larynx ( BAD BAD TECHNIQUE) to sound POWERFUL
While Power in singing comes from Control&RESONANCE
She tries hard to sound black by straining the hell out of those runs and making her voice “big” but if you listen to her performances back in the day when she used to sing more with her natural tone, she sounds 100% white chick. She’s the definition of “amateur wannabe
whitney and aretha and etta do the belts in order to go with the rest of the song, but christina just puts in random runs and yells everywhere just so that she can prove she can somehow belt but unfortunately,she turns it into screams and noisy yells lol
GREAT SAID @Whitneyslassall
@Whitneyslayall
You know ,Christina thinks that to sound black, all that she needs to do is choke and scream while unconvincingly pretending to be crazy and passionate when singing XD
Xtina>>>
Christina Aguilera sucks. Her musicianship is so poor, her vocals are fake, her high chest notes are strained like hell, her low notes are mushy, her falsetto are worst. She is the real noise of our generation
The Voice of the generation BEYONCE
THE VOICE BEFORE BEYONCE MARIAH C
and BEFORE HER “THE VOICE” WHITNEY
WHITNEY&MARIAH >BEYONCE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>XTINA
SUCH A FRAUD !!! In her debut album, she still lowered her larynx to make that big tone, but not too much. It means she didn’t push the back of her tongue too deeply into the throat, so her voice was a little bit audible. You can clearly hear her signs of strain on low and mid notes and the loss of resonance in the B2B and Bionic album. And the single Last dance too. I think she likes to be called a little girl with a big voice, but it’s just a fake. Sorry for my bad English
Why cant this woman just sing the damn song. All tht extra shizle is so unnecessary. We know she can sing… So can she just sing da song…?
So annoying all that wailing and vibrato. Sing wid purpose. Ffs
Christina is the only artist who can really honor Etta. She was her idol when she was young, so Christina knows how to truly perform a tribute for her without being too flashy or making it all about herself. Classy, emotional and powerful.
The technique was obviously imperfect, but her emotion (and her flawless delivery in the lower register) made up for it! Christina’s renditions of Etta’s classics have helped to spread her legacy around the globe, so I’m definitely glad she got the chance to say goodbye to her idol in such a special way
R.I.P. Etta James.
thank goodness she nailed it like she always do
thank you xtina great job well done, indeed.
R.I.P ETTA JAMES!
OMG,, XTINA PERFORMANCE SAYS IT ALL!!!!!
LMFAOOOO!!,
I couldnt help but LAUGH at this entire reendention, Is that what it was SUPPOSED to make me do??
If not then… #FAIL!
Somebody please tell WHALE-Tina “SCREAM” PISSelera
Its a little TOO LATE for Vocal lessons Babe. 😕
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o9r_1uixMc
Christina SLAYYED
But dont come for Bee!!
She would of sung it better than your fave…true or false?
OHH well…i guess you should just shut the f*** up!! just cause your pressed & you keep showing it…CLEARLY
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Christina….. cmon ….. @3:20 she went in ….yess
She did great.
Awwww RIP Jamesetta…. you will be missed.
Will ignore the Beyonce hate because, well it was expected.
THANKS XTINA FOR A GOOD JOB WELL DONE AND
YOU GET ,,,,EXTRA AROUND OF APPLAUDS BECAUSE
YOU HELPED “ETTA JAMES” R.I.P WITHOUT HAVING
TO SIT UP IN HER COFFING AND OPEN,,, THAT CAN
OF WHIP ASS ON BEYONCE THAT WAS IN HER COFFIN
JUST IN CASE BEYONCE AND BLUE ENDED UP TRYING
TO CONTROL ETTA’S FUNERSL THANKS,,,XTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can of whop ass
Xtina goes flat on notes like B4 JESUS CHRIST
And as far who sang it better…..it’s just a matter of taste. Do you know how many ppl hated this version when it aired?? So I thought it was gonna be bad, but I really liked it.
I will give Christina credit, but I’ve always thought Christina was an amazing singer….she ripped that song at @3:20 …..
RIP Etta
Her HIGH LARYNX singing Shows how great she is
True at @Beyfan its a matter of taste but to say she is a better singer then B and more talented is ust DELUSIONAL
My number 1.Mariah/whitney and my nr.2Beyonce
well done, this was the best version i’ve heard and I’ve heard many. What does sounding black mean to person who said that.? Do u mean she(christiana) has soul when she sings as Teena Marie did? last time I checked soul had no color you either have it or you don’t its not just reserved for the black community. I could list many non Blacks who sing with plenty of soul from Gospel,R&B,Jazz, Pop ect. So tired of the ignorance! people who say she trying to sound black or if your black and speak well they say you trying to sound white. Get over yourself.
overdone! All the riffs before she gets to build kills it and the riffs aren’t good. A lot of straining and over singing. She should keep working with Seth!
@KIKI
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
UR COMMENT MADE MY DAY
LET THE HATERZZZ KNOW
HA HAAAAAAAAAAA
I’m glad Xtina did it! If it was Beyonce honoring Etta it would only get twisted and turn into something it’s not. I already know where it’ll go. The day Bey returns to the stage her haters will be ready to bash her with negative remarks anyway, but will be glued to their tv’s just like every Bey stans. *Fingers crossed for a Grammy night pop up*.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
beyonce is just a very good voice .. nothin’ special
she sound like many black female artist
XTINA is the REAL DEAL .. THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION
STAY MAD B****** .. Thiefyone will never be chosen to do a tribute!
even her role as Etta FLOPPED HARD..
Xtina: James Brown, Nina Simone , Etta James … BOOM!
#STAY PRESSED
Also R.I.P Etta James
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
LIST OF SOME FAILED STRAINED HORRID NOTES:
0:31
1:04
2:04
2:28
2:37
3:17
Total SPECTACLE…
But atleast she managed get SOME good Resonate notes in, Mainly the very FIRST & very LAST Note(3:35) were ironically decent. #RARE, Usually Every note is s***. 😕
#PROGRESS! 🙂
Please stop turning this into a Stan war, Christina was invited to perform because Etta thought alot of her and respected her, Christina is never technically perfect but she has the SOUL to sing this song which beyonce lacks so this is a better and a version most old school singers would prefer!
And I’m not hating on bey, I love her she’s probably more talented than Xtina but she can’t sing as good or with so much soul and passion, Christina has that amazing olden days voice which is so rare these days
She did a great job.
@ MR.M
I actually find Beys Voice totally One of a Kind & Unique. NOTHING like other black vocalist. I find her voice to be AMAZING, EPIC even at times even.
Its funny cause we have Total OPPOSITE views on the 2 Voices.
But Heres what I think of STRAIN-Tina

Miss Riff-a-thon
Mrs adlib city
x-tina defo put her own stamp on the song with the soul + rock edge she got in her vocal.
She gave me some Whitney, some Janis Jopling a lot of X-tina and a sprinkle of Etta James
She blew and sung with heart rather than full technique.
Glad her throat didn’t close up by the end cus she was on brink of cracking but kept it in check.
Love her voice. I JUST DO!
Ah,R.I.P. Etta James!
Xtina put a little too much on it IMO! She still did well though!
@S***
I don’t even bother watching the video!
coz you’re just S*** as your S***** nickname 🙂
vocally there’s NO comparison between LEGENDitna and Thiefyonce
Xtina’s “tone” itself >>> all Flopyonce’s vocals
STAY MAD FOREVER!
@S*** (CLASSY GHETTO GANGSTA HOOCHIE WITH $$$MONEY$$$)
THANKS FOR THAT LINK ENJOYED IT AND THE CROWD WERE SINGING ALONG WITH HER AS WELL
EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE
BY THE QUEEN 🙂

GREAT SAID @Whitneyslassall
Whitneyslassall = LMAOOO = Morganna…
born to be xtina troll I see.
Good job Christina. She over sang it but her vocals are always on point. Why do black people think over singing= perfection?
RIP Etta, i’m glad Christina performed at her funeral, i know Xtina holds her really dearly besides if Bey would’ve done it,omg it would become a circus on blogosphere these rats are obsessed with her see how many comments are mentioning her as it is
@rihatan
that bullsh*t saying Xtina has more soul/ passion but of those are qualities that are abstract menaing they are immeasurable but u can definitely measure accuracy or lack thereof in technique. if i hear passion in someone’s voice u cant convince me otherwise and vice versa that depends on the audience
@mr m
u are so ridiculously childish u should call yourself lil m. Beyonce has done plenty a tribute in the very presence of the original artist and they loved it. Tina Turner said Beyonce is a better performer than she was in her days, Barbra loves her too. Etta loved Bey singing at last too until she sang at the inaugration, we can figure out why that is and
how exactly did her role as Etta flop? she won a grammy for At last, her acting was critically acclaimed which is uncommon for her and the movie was successful so think b4 u type, idiot
I love Xtina but she strained so much it was actually hard to listen to.
@Bey is Legend
STFU, B****!!
Etta said: I can’t stand beyonce!. ENOUGH SAID
EPIC FAIL
#LMAO
Everyone shut up with the dumb whos better comments ! Etta James died xtina is pay respect !!!!
now you all know that there’s nobody better than beyonce if you let her
stans tell it they will never ever give another artist any credit i od not
care who it is. When JENN won the oscar beyonce and her pappa
decided that they would get their own production company and that
way they produced cadallic records and they are doing “a stripper is born”
oops i mean a “star is born” that way they own it and they only have to buy
the life story rights of who ever they want beyonce to portay and they are
bound to get that oscar sooner than later.They did cadallic records because
they was hoping that it got in the run for old boy oscar but oscar took off
runnung and soon they will be at it again.this is off topic but you can see and appreciate beyonce’s hustle because she deserves a oscsr and feels she
should have had the oscar jennifer won. We was wondering how many times
beyonce bothered to say a warm hello for the legend she potrayed in a life time
movie about her life. Oh well i guess beyonce did etta just like she did jennifer hudson when she losed her love one’s not even a note or a e mail or a phone call because jennifer has beyonce’s in her mind oscar. BUT BEYONCE is on the grammy board now and yall are going to have to cut that dam cheating and s*** all the way out. Because they are tired of yall asses cheatrinf and beyonce is doing her part on the grammy committee to make for certain that people do not cheat no more or buy them dam grammy’s. Beyonce says that she’s tired of yall
cheasting and s*** all the time and the only thing that she will keep doing to the best of her knowledge is keep making great music and she says that she will keep getting INSPIRED BUT SHE WANT FOLKS TO STOP BEING A CHEAT AND A FRAUD! BECAUSE SHE AIN’T HAVING IT!
@MR.M
yep and she backtracked on it saying she wished she’d been asked to performa t the inauguration. now what?
and any bytch who wnat to do a spell
chec have at it, and leave me along !
R.I.P ETTA!
And Beyonce still comes up to this Topic when it has NOTHING to do with her lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo We Know who is on everybodies mind LMAOOOO! Queen B
Amazing Christina!
she performed this on her tour back in the day on her stripped tour when i saw her live, perfect person to tribute etta
Rip Etta james
christina was amazing and the beyawnce fans can fall back. there was a reason etta’s family chose christina to sing and not yonka.
@rick stfu and stop worshipping beyonces crusty unoriginal ass!
@rick and corey ,,beyonce is a major fail all she does is dig up legends works and re-do them anybody can be a copycat.
@Mr. M
Etta also said “The Great Beyonce” …. Epic PASS
RIP Jamesetta
Why would they ask Beyonce to sing at Etta’s funeral?
One, because of that statement Etta made, that would have looked so fake if they asked her.
Two, Beyonce isn’t doing anything for anybody except Blue Ivy right now until she starts working on A Star is Born.
I have a head cold and my television was on CNN when I woke up.
Christina didn’t help my headache.
And I think because of the situation, she should have held it back and done a proper tribute instead of doing it the same terrible way she has for years
CHRISTINA SOUNDED GREAT AND BEYONCE STANS NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP ALWAYS TRYING TO BRING BEYONCES FLOP ASS INTO SOMETHING.GET OUT OF BEYONCES ASS AND LET ETTA REST! BEYONCE DIDN’T PUT ETTA JAMES ON THE MAP BEYONCE IS A THIEF AND TRYS TO REMAKE OTHER PEOPLES CAREERS DIANA ROSS DIANE SUMMERS,SHAKIRA,JLO ,WHITNEY ,BRANY MONICA,JOSEPHINE BAKER ANNE TERESA,NEW EDITION, TLC,BOB FOSSE AND MANY MORE BEYONCE HAS COPIED OVER THE YEARS
@Bey is Legend
If Beyonce would have performed, showed as much cleavage , and did as many runs and riffs as Christina….Bey would have been called all types of s***. I can only imagine what ppl would have said.
So I agree with you 100% Im sooooooooooooo happy she didn’t perform.
And I think Christina was the better choice anyway. On top of that she did a good really job.
” I have a head cold and my television was on CNN when I woke up.
Christina didn’t help my headache”

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @Shanice
_____________________________________DEAD
Christina wore her heart (and soul) on the sleeve in this performance. She has always performed “At Last” like this and don’t you haters think that her family and friends who invited her to sing knew this? From the praise she received afterwards it looks like they liked it so maybe they asked her to perform it like this? Also, don’t act like this is some damn Catholic mass in the Vatican. You damn well know what kind of church this is and Christina brought it HOME.
I think it’s said that in midst of someone’s passing, people find a reason to hate on Beyonce.
If you didn’t like Beyonce version of the song, thats fine. But goodness…all the extra. SMH….
she is the queen of over singing, but she does sing well, she just OVER SINGS EVERYTHING. for what it was for she did a good job. this was an honor I am sure. why you all need to start comparing her to anyone but herself is beyond me.
CHRISTINA’S VOICE IS GREAT ! GIVE HER THE PROPS AND LEAVE THAT BUM B**** BEYONCE OUT OF THIS SHES NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO REMADE THE CUT. BEYONCE WAS A TERRIBLE ACTRESS IN CADILLAC RECORDS AND SHE WILL NEVER WIN A OSCAR OR GOLDEN GLOBE. BEYONCE USES OTHER TALENTED PEOPLE FOR FAME.SHE BEEN DOING IT HER ENTIRE CAREER DO UR RESEARCH BEYONCE STANS BEYONCE IS FAR FROM ORIGINAL SHES JUST A WANNABE. NOW DIANA ROSS PLAYED LADY SINGS THE BLUES AND MAHOGANY AND SHE KNEW HOW TO PLAY A DRUG ADDICT BUT NOW BEYONCE LOL HER ACTING SKILLS SUCKS JUST LIKE LISA RAYE AND KELLY ROWLAND LOL EVEN LETOYA LUCKETT ACTS BETTER THAN BEYONCE ,”FROM THE ROUGH” COMING SOON LOL
OMG that was……soo amazing
i´m in tears…..xtina is the next etta …
omg that voice !!!
wooooow
@ LMAO-
Good Lawd child! For somebody who claims to can’t stand Christina you sure do spend a great part of your pathetic life bringing her down. While you’re on TGJ hating on people, those same people are out there making bank!
CHRISTINA’S FIRST ALBUM WAS 8 TIMES PLATINUM CANT SAY THE SAME FOR BEYONCES FIRST SOLO ALBUM LOL BEYONCE THE HYPED UP OVERRATED MEDIA W**** THAT STANS WORSHIP F*** THAT UNORIGINAL C***!
Yo, Yonka-hating Christina fan writing in ALL CAPS. You’re embarrassing yourself and Xtina, please stop. Thanks <3
As usual, Thiefonce’s buffoon stand are at ut again: always trying to insert tha camel-f*****’s name in every post on female artists. Why don’t you guys get a job so you can buy her cd & make it last in BB like Adele’s album, rather than making your ass fat by being glued to your computers.
Seriously, after Caca’s insane kids, Chimpanyonce’s stans are the most insane.
@bey fan
too right it doesnt even feel right having these arguements on a post like this. people have no respect for the dead, they cant get past their obsession with Beyonce.
What was that ??? a tribute really ?? She has flawless vocals but going all over the places make it sounds so awful. Xtina has the voice we all know that but she’s trying too hard I really don’t know why ! I’m always wondering is she ever going to finish that song the way she’s streching every note or word. She needs to sing with a lot simplicity like she did with “hurt” or “ain’t no other man”, “beautiful” gosh she was fabulous singing those an I do miss this Christina
@bey fan
too right it doesnt even feel right having these arguements on a post like this. people have no respect for the dead, they cant get past their obsession with Beyonce. smh
Christina oversang that b****
Not sure why she went to a funeral with a low cut top like that.. but she did well. Also those peple talking vids from their phones.. Not sure if that is really appropriate.. its a funeral after all.
PHENOMENAL!!!
i went to youtube to listen to christina and bey’s versions of this song. for as much credit as bey deserves for being an all around better entertainer than christina, in my opinion, christina gives bey a baaad head whipping when it comes to straight out singing.
@ lmao…
you bey stans may want to skip this paragraph to imao because i gotta call it the way hear i hear it. so please stay seated. there are parts of this song where bey’s voice sounds clear but totally devoid of any soul. there are also several parts where she sounds flat and passionless. my ears did not detect any of this so-called “natural belting” you claim she does. bey also uses the growling technic that many have complained about christina using (both of them could use this much less or even lose it for good).
christina’s performance of this song was epic although i wouldn’t have been mad if she shelved a couple of the runs (thought they were good but a tiny bit showy for a funeral tribute).
i just gotta repeat to make things clear, when it comes to overall performing, bey’s on top.
BEYONCE STANS ARE THE BIGGEST HATERS ON THE INTERNET!
January 28, 2012 at 6:00 pm
CHRISTINA’S FIRST ALBUM WAS 8 TIMES PLATINUM CANT SAY THE SAME FOR BEYONCES FIRST SOLO ALBUM
_________________________________________________________
Ummmmm I gonna assume you’re talking about US sales and not worldwide sales….
But Bey won 5 grammy’s for her first album….
And do we need to compare Bionic to I Am…..
But I think Christina is tremendously talented, and definitely has a GREAT voice… But lets talk about Keri????
Lawd this aint the post for this, but yall just keep trying Bey today….and Im not having it
she’s 31
Irene U ARE DELUSIONAL at the mOST
XTINA STRAINS AND FAILS NOTE ALREADY AT B$ OR EVEN G#4
She cant hit C5 and above without SCREAMING !!!
SHE HAS NO CONTROL NO RESONANCE in HER VOICE
BEyonce would kill her live Vocals
Can u imagin XTina sing “listen” With tat Vocal damage in 2010/2011/2012
Christina could never sing “love on top” 4 key changes and the vocals are out of her natural range she COULD NEVER
Because she gets out of breat easy and her screams and yells at C5 and C#5s already <<<
BEYONCE as a Vocalist has a Amazing technique Control Resonance clearity
And her vocals acrobatics go aboe WHAT Xtina could ever do !!!
That u like Xtinas At last more is ur opinion Everybody has a A taste
BUT when it comes to TRUE vocalist&tecnique B ins by miles
The singer must have complete mastery over their instrument like a true virtuoso. This means having agility, sound intonation, multiple volumes in terms of dynamics and the ability to resonate. If we sub in all these factors to today’s generation, BEYONCE is the only one who truly applies
A vocalist doesn’t crack every 4 performances, a vocalist doesn’t strain, a vocalist can stay in key and in tune, a vocalist don’t run out of breath on C5 and higher, a vocalist has support on EVERY note, not just B3 to G4, a vocalist’s range isn’t disconnected. Mariah is a vocalist, Beyonce is a vocalist, MAriah is a vocalist,Witney is a vocalist,Celine D is a vocalist
@LMAOOO
Whenever you present anything based off of factual knowledge to a Beyonce hater, they resort back to their opinion.
LOL…. and they can’t even come back with anything relevant….
She did an amazing job. I like the fact that she make the song her own.
RIP Etta James
Thank you @BeyFan they cant and thats shows it…Beyonce doesnt get Praised from Opera legends for her vocals anyways….
im studying music at a university in germany….and i asked alot of questions to profersors etc Vocal teachers WHO ARE HIGHLY SEEn etc,,,….and when u ask them About the Vocals nearly 98% agree with B as a Better singer or Vocalist some just like tina more (not alot) but agree that Beyonce is a better Vocalist or even the vocal queen of this generation !! And the funny thing if u ask students or opera singers in general they will nearly say Beyonce 100% of the time
!!! And the Fact that Beyonce is able to do “Messa di Voce” its more and opera thing vocaly is already punching her peers out of the game
OOPs i ment : “Beyonce doesnt get praised by Opera legends for nothing “
i just gotta let you christina lovers (and haters) know that her ‘burlesque’ cd has been on the bb hot 200 for a year now. her feature with maroon 5 ‘mlj’ is # 13 and has been in the top 20 of the bb 100 singles for more than 15 weeks. not bad at all for someone called “floptina”.
remember how they bitched and boiled christina’s ass for missing a line when she sang the ‘star spangled banner’? well, i’ll pass on how steve tyler screeched and screamed through it (afterall he is a rock singer) but no one has hardly uttered a damn word about the line he missed.
when commenting on his performance someone said “well, at least he knew the words”. they were purposely lying or their dumbasses didn’t know the words either.
just gotta continue to point out christina bs shade because she’s gonna need all the support she can get. as you know the haters are just laying in wait.
Where is her top?
I have been a stan of Christina Aguilera since 1999 and I will never stop being a stan!!!! More than a decade of being a huge fan and this epic singer keeps punching me in the face and impressing me so much with her outstanding, immensely epic talent.
I am so f*cking proud to be a fan of this biatche. Only freaking Christina freaking Aguilera can make me get VERY TEARY-EYED from a simply vocal performance!!!!!
THIS BIATCHE’s VOICE IS TOO EPIC FOR WORDS. UNFOKINGBELIEVABLE.
Etta James would be so happy and proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christina Aguilera is the best singer WORLD-FOCKING-WIDE, today!!!
Female singing doesn’t get any better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST WOW.
Etta James and Christina Aguilera, SUCH SOULFUL AMAZING POWERFUL SINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY EARS LOVE THIS SHIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True Soul while singn that song! Gwaan Christina!!!!!
Christina>>>>….
they could of had jennifer hudson sing… Christina always oversings….
Her last CD went dust lol.. Jennifer would of sung the heck out of At Last.
How can you sings in front of people without wearing a top?
christina did a great job….Etta was known for her grit and emotion, christina was the perfect choice
She oversings way too much and that last note was screechy as hell (like it was when she sung the National Anthem) but it wasnt too bad–but that outfit is totally inappropriate for a funeral. Her last two cds have gone double dust so heres hoping she has something up her sleeve…..however they should have had Jennifer Hudson or somebody else instead of this white girl#justsayin’
no , i didn’t like it.
FOR ME , beyonce’s version was better.
i love u still xtina 🙂
Horrible!!! Straining as always.
Kudos to her for performing ok even while overcome by emotion
However, the voice lessons are NOT working
Still straining and barking on simple middle voice notes
And seriously, tits out at a FUNERAL? trashy trashy trashy
And apparently her v***** was so sad it started crying BLOOD in the middle of her performance…ewwwwwwww
@ LMAOOO
Agree with you g3rl
Placido Domingo (an opera Legend) has praised Beyonce as a vocalist
While Philippe Jaroussky (a current operatic superstar virtuoso male soprano) has talked AGAINST Christina’s vocals.
@ lmaoo & bey fan…
christina also doesn’t get praised by professionals in the industry for nothing also. so it’s not just me being “delusional” that this girl can sing. and just as it”s mine and the those professional’s opinion that christina sounds better; it’s yours and others OPINION that bey sings best. btw,i haven’t heard all of this praising of bey’s voice you’re claiming but i’ll take your word for it.
how is praise of christina’s voice from professionals any less factual than than the professionals you say are praising bey’s. oh, and the fact that i think christina’s voice is better hardly makes me a bey hater. she’s one of few great entertainers in the business. she does have a unique voice and is pleasant if she stays within a certain range. i just don’t agree that she has all of the vocal versatility you think she has.
i’m going to youtube now to listen to bey sing ‘listen’ and messa di voce. you can bet i’ll be back.
as usual we have here vocalist with no career saying this and that about christina aguilera.
Haters are always going to hate…
Christina Aguilera did a great Job… she deserves the standing ovation given to her during the funeral…
Beyonce is ok… i also like her.. Christina is great i like her too!!!
and oh.. if a certain person start the line “i Love/Like Christina but…” but obviously is lying.. that’s a typical haters line…
im glad Beyonce didn’t perform. Everyone is dissing and making fun of Christina Aguilera.
Christina was dripping blood down her legs…. that’s embarrassing. It happens though.http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyje9fNPSo1qjgi2io1_400.jpg
Who cares what the psychotic haters have to say at this point???????
Really???? There insane, mental, crazy hate is ridiculous and laughable at this point.
At this freaking point LOL Christina Aguilera has nothing to prove. Her 20 + years of singing on television speaks for itself : Christina Aguilera is truly epic and bad@**.
Christina’s SINGING STYLE, “SCREAMING” and STRAINING INCLUDED ARE F*CKING MARVELOUS TO THE MAXIMUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooooooooo amazed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The haters can’t do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING THE HATERS CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHRISTINA VOICELERA REMAINS EXTREMELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD TO BE A FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AGUILERA F*CKING WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO AWARDS OR NUMBER 1s NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wow.
Poor haters, they will drive themselves more crazy than they already were, over this amazing performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ETTA JAMES IS LAUGHING AT THE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!! @ Maria
Is that picture photoshopped??????? OMG Christina Aguilera was on her WORST DAY OF HER MENSTRUATION!!
UGH!!! As a fellow female…. I feel MORTIFIED for Christina LOL…… that is so not cool.
I bet Christina ran to the bathroom to wipe her legs after that….. UGH the embarrassment must have been annoying. Unfortunately menstrual blood flow is uncontrollable. If the pad or tampon is already filled with too much blood, then……. UGH what a messy mess.
AT LEAST CHRISTINA DIDN’T LET THIS MESS DISTRACT HER!! PERFECT PERFORMANCE!!!
@ XTINA
The full video of the performance shows that before she starts performing when is talking she stops to wipe her legs, and then crosses them till she starts singing…she was indeed DRIPPING…
Anyways, kudos to her for going on singing overcome by emotion and cooch bleeding…I would have fainted if I was in her place.
@ Christina Aguilera is too epic
After 20 years of professional singing…she should sound A LOT BETTER than she does 🙂 I mean, she is barely 30…her voice shouldn’t have reached her prime till at least 35, yet she seems to have gone in decline after 21…
@ MRDIVABITCH-
Honey it’s obvious you’re tone deaf because if you knew wtf you were talking about you see that Etta James is the one who inspired her and you can hear a lot of Etta come out of Christina’s voice.
Katy and Rihanna could never get on stage and sing like Christina…Etta for that matter.
@ CHRISTINASCOMING
An Xtina stan calling anyone tone deaf is the definition of irony 🙂
But no daaaaahling, I’m not tone deaf, in fact, I kinda have absolute pitch 🙂
@ DIVA B****-
Christina can sing and you’re just a freaking hater. That’s alright though because while Christina is out there killing it on stage and on tv…regardless of where she is on the charts…you’re ass stays stuck on TGJ wasting your pathetic life away.
How ironic that for somebody you claim who can’t sing and strains too much and has lost her voice, she sure does receive lots of standing ovations and applause!
MALAYSIA GIPSON… Yesss!! I loved countess’s version!! I watched that parkers ep the other day!!
Tingling all over my body! She nailed it! Aguilera! Looks like she lost weight, though. I had tears in my eyes, so proud of my girl! Very impassioned performance, indeed!
@ ChristinasCOMING
The general public is stupid and uneducated when it comes to what good singing should sound like 🙂 even most “professional” singers do not know how to properly sing 🙂
But I’ll give you a clue…good singing shouldn’t sound like one is in pain UNLESS it’s intentional 🙂 but I doubt Christina does it intentionally as she even sounds like that on happy songs.
So though indeed she has a talented throat, she never learned to properly use it…or at least to use it to the full extent of its capacities 🙂
Now I’ll leave you with a quote by the exquisite male soprano operatic superstar Philippe Jaroussky talking about Christina’s singing:
“She has no breath support and often sings out of tune. People say she can cover four octaves, but it’s not true because below A3, the low notes are forced, unsupported, her belting voice is throaty and forced, for her highest notes she doesn’t use head voice but falsetto or whistle register, they are disconnected registers. So, she can only hit good notes from A3 to B4. Her melismas are always show-off, they are almost never connected with the rhythm and the structure of the songs.”
Now please go clean up the puddle of blood Christina left on the floor…
Sung from the very gut of her soul, Chrstina loved Etta that was her inspiration, she was the first to mention her before it came trendy and Etta loved Christina, this was beautiful
What the hell is wrong with some of you people? This is a funeral and obviously her family wanted Christina to sing the song otherwise they wouldn’t of asked her, if they wanted Beyawnce they would of asked her but Etta hated her and it would be disrespectful having her there when she didn’t like her. I think she done a good job and she obviously was very emotional and clearly upset when she was singing. So what if it wasn’t perfect? She still sounded great and got rave reviews from everyone including the family. Stop picking at every little thing this woman does and give her a break.
Xtina was just amazing
the voive of our generation
i love bey but xtina would sing her on the wall
Xtina has soul in her voice and power…..
she is soo unique and special
that song was from her heart and thats the only thing that matters
Xtina is a living legend !!!
and gtfoh haters
nobody has somemany haters like xtina cause she is one of the best
and 2012 she will comeback better and stronger then ever
bobody can stop her 😉
HATERS STAY MAD AND PRESSED
dont f*** with XTINA 😉 #XTINA2012 #LivingLegend
Hmm, can anyone verify why Xtina was having her period during the song???? WTF… just askin.
Haters just too when it’s legendtina but they forget that their Dave’s have a LOT of imperfections ESP. when they sing a playing safe key or missing a note or ad lib – all the same. X is better than B. Just look how many jealous haters come here. Oh BTW, you should look at Etta’s live version & you’ll see where Xtina gets it.
i liked it! bless her!
Etta James on Christina Aguilera :
“When I first heard her stuff, and I heard her say on TV, [in response to the question] where she got her style, ‘I grew up on Etta James,’ that made me feel so good. The last person who said that was Janis Joplin, but Christina can sing. Janis was good, but there’s a difference in the quality of voice. I couldn’t believe that big sound, that big voice was coming out of her. Tell me who you’ve seen that sings like her, because we don’t have anybody.
It’s like you were here many years ago. You don’t look exactly like them, but there’s something about you that’s like Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, those kinds of chicks. I’ve never seen a girl sing as tough as you sing, as little as you are. It’s like you’re an old soul.”

OUTSTANDING, SUBLIME AND UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Christina just punches you with all that soul and genuine emotion.
Christina’s voice is too majestic and epic for words!!
Fist in the air, Christina sings like an epic warrior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I F*CKING ADMIRE THIS BIATCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!
POOR HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN SHITTED ON BY XTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of y’all are just….*sighs*.
Ok. Christina was picked over Bey to sing at the funeral. So what? She should’ve been the one to sing it, seeing as she’s been singing it longer than Beysus.
Tbqh, I don’t care for the original version of ‘At Last’, so you won’t get any ridiculous Beyonce/Christina comparisons out of this Bey stan. I don’t like either of their renditions. Judge me if you want. IDGAF.
I’m more concerned with what was dripping down Xtina’s legs…
Oh…and..RIP Jamesetta.
I hope Christina Aguilera keeps her TRADEMARK, AMAZING SINGING STYLE FOREVER.

Something on legs or not……
Christina Aguilera sang very majestically.
STAY MAD, HATERS.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how her stans are sweating bullets trying to do damage control 🙂
Unfortunally for them that ship has sailed, that b**** has barked, that p**** has dripped. No go lick Xtina’s blood off the floor.

The ONLY THING THAT WILL EVER REMAIN IS XTINA’s AMAZING PERFOMANCE.
All these comments on blogs and Youtube are only temporary shiat that nobody will remember.
I AM SO PROUD OF XTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE JUST KEEPS ME AMAZED AND IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
: D
I am very excited for the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New album 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xtina will always sing like an epic biatch and the haters will have to deal with it.
They stay mad, whining about menstruation and whatnot… but that is all irrelevant stuff. Don’t these idiots know????
XTINA WILL NEVER STOP MAKING YOU MAD AND JEALOUS WITH HER AMAZING-SOUNDING YELLING!!!!!!
Poor haters.
They can’t do anything.
2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL : D
And hopefully, Christina WILL RECORD “AT LAST” IN THE STUDIO SOME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGH, she is too epically talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite singer is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aguilera wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! The haters are enraged. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xtina truly punches all her haters in the face.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a proud fan. This singer is fantastic and Etta James approves.
Bey just gave birth less than a month ago. So we don’t know if that had an effect in the choice. Either way it doesn’t matter. RIP Etta.
Spamming the s*** out of this post ain’t gonna save face for Christina after her barking, bleeding p**** and tits out at the funeral.
@ MR DIVA B****–
Who the f*** is Philippe Jaroussky and does he have any credibility? I need receipts that show that he dictates an artists voice.
And how the hell do you do know what was on her leg? Good God! Even if she was on her period, it probably started right before she went on stage and she couldn’t do anything about it. She’s a f****** female and it’s bound to happen at anytime at that time of the month.
Puddle of blood? Not only are you tone deaf but you are blind honey.
Like I said you don’t know what was on her leg. It could’ve been many things. But even if it was her period starting it wasn’t even noticable on her leg. All she did was wipe it.
God get yourself a life you f****** queen! Get off TGJ and do something big for yourself.
RIP ETTA No other diva can sing the rendition of At Last better than our girl Christina. Her performance/speech brought goosebumps, chills and tears, I am so proud of her!
Wait are we listening to the same performance? I’m not even trying to be funny or throw shade or anything. That was HORRIBLE! It was dragged out, way to slow, WAYYYYYY to many off key runs. She was trying to run on every word, and not even doing it well. Sorry but belting and screaming doesn’t make a “Great” performance. I wont even compare her version with beyonces. I’ll just say that atleast beyonce be in key and not over doing it. She keeps if tuckin classy. And by the way, who wears a plunging v-neck to a funeral? #HARLET
@TheBestDressed
Wow.. people in here are so… *Sigh~*
just leave at Xtina/Bey has their own flaws & style of singing.
& agreed with MR. Diva
“Kudos to her for performing ok even while overcome by emotion and cooch bleeding…I would have fainted if I was in her place.”
I can’t imagine.. if I, or all of you be in her place.
You have to Sing to your Idol funeral, being so damn emotional & you starting to get your period on stage. If she’s super Diva… She’ll take her moment to go excuse herself & back to backstage. but yeah… she kept going. kudos for her.
When Christia sings with some technique her voice is still great. It’s the technique that makes her voice sound different. She just needs to keep doing what she does. Even while singing with a not so suggested technique, the girl still has an incredible voice. She hit lots of notes in this performance that weren’t strained. She still sounded great to me. There is/was so much passion/raw emotion in that performance.
@ MRDIVABITCH
Are mentally disturbed or just extremely bored??
How long are you going to stay in this post for the simple sake of complaining about Christina’s supposed “barking” and “bleeding” and her cleavage?
You sound like you’re losing sleep over this fantastic performance. You are f*cking pathetic. F*cking crazy, the haters are……. they’re f*cking insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Christina was reading this sh*t blog, she’d be laughing so f*cking hard. Such rudiculous f*ckery…..

Xtina is indeed here to stay and make her haters extremely stressed and angry.
Poor fools.
Look it up. You think it’s a joke? It’s not a joke. Xtina is never going to stop making you jealous and enraged.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMgJlnXU3qo
Towards the end, people at the funeral got up and starting pumping their fwaking fists while listening to Christina Aguilera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I almost did the same thing, from home!!!!!!!!!! LOL But instead, I just stayed amazed and baffled and gently wiped a little tear off my eye.
Christina Aguilera NEEDS to RECORD “AT LAST”!!!!!!!!!! I NEED A STUDIO VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xtina’s haters (aka Lady Reductive fans, Beyonce fans and Britney fans) will remain stressed forever.
They are very jealous. Xtina is perfect. A real bad@**.
Forever and ever, the haters will stay angry. Oh well!
Xtina’s talent and work speaks for itself.
Xtina does not need to hype herself up at all.
She is waaaaayyy to epic.
I feel sorry for the haters. Getting shiitted on like that.
THE FAKE LAX…SHUT UP
Anyways I agree with Rick…….if beyonce never sing that song at last..i would have never knew who etta james was
I discovered Etta James in 1999-2000, more than 10 years ago. WHEN CHRISTINA AGUILERA was singing AT LAST at that time, EVERYWHERE.
What was Beyonce doing in 1999? Not singing Etta James or even talking about Etta James. Where was Beyonce at the funeral? Not invited.
Can we all stop the Beyonce comments, now?
Beyonce is extremely irrelevant to this topic, here.

The haters are pretending not to like this performance, just to hide the fact that they are JEALOUS.
BUT…….. if you gave that EXACT SAME VOICE AND PERFORMANCE to someone like BRITNEY SPEARS OR LADY CACA…… the Britney and Lady Caca fans would be screaming : “OMG, MY FAV IS A GREAT SINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, SHE SUDDENLY HAS SOUL AND PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, YAY I DON’T HAVE TO BE JEALOUS OF CHRISTINA AGUILERA ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor haters………….. smh
Rihanna Would have done it better than Xtina
@ ChristinasCOMING
Philippe Jaroussky is one of opera’s current superstars
But of course an uncultured uncouth ruffian such as yourself wouldn’t know about the fine arts such as opera.
He is a male soprano, a sopranist, and he sings a great deal of baroque music written for the castrati, the most virtuosic singers to ever exist. In other words, he sings music 100 if not 1000 times more difficult than anything Christina has EVER sung.
LOL at the Xtina stans calling me mentally disturbed while they spam the s*** out of this blog trying to do damage control for their idol’s barking and p**** bleeding.
not a fan of her, but I love watching her “sing”. The theatrics-the wide mouth, mic-working, head shaking, and that “Stella!!” hand in the air during the big “note” is hilarious. When she starts punching the word “mine” it sounds like an old engine turning and I love it. Kill those chords for our amusement, Auggie.
@ MRDIVABITCH
For being extremely jealous of a GIRL. LOL at this dude being envious of CHRISTINA MARIA AGUILERA. Poor Mr. Deranged.
LOL at haters spamming this blog with COMPLAINTS THAT DO NOT MATTER AT ALL.
WHICH IS WORST, YOU DUMB@** HATERS?? :
Fans spamming to praise the AMAZING PERFORMANCE FOR ETTA JAMES.
Or delusional angry haters spamming with cleavage comments and leg comments.
Etta James would punch all the haters in the face if she was still here. F*cking jealous and stressed trolls.
Let the haters cry while the MEDIA AND PEOPLE OF THE WORLD PRAISE THE FUNERAL PERFORMANCES.
The haters REMAIN F*CKING IDIOTS. It’s incredible.
The haters are pretending not to like this performance, just to hide the fact that they are JEALOUS.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Mister Ret@rded biatch can stay mad and jealous at a woman like Christina Aguilera.
The haters are so f*cking weird. UGH WTF.
Most people are praising the crap out of this performance. Most of the reviews are extremely enthusiastic and full of praise for Aguilera.
Nobody is talking about Christina’s fake tan dripping on her leg. WHY WOULD THEY??? It wouldn’t make sense to FOCUS ON SUCH USELESS THINGS DURING A FUNERAL PERFORMANCE.
But the mentally troubled haters cannot understand this. They will never get it.
They stay full of envy.
@ MRDIVABITCH
Is the weirdest girl ever. So jealous of Christina. Because Christina is an epic vocalist that most sane people praise.
MRDIVABITCH will remains jealous for eternity. Christina’s “barking” MAKES MRDIVABITCH cry with bitterness and envy of extreme proportions.
Such a strange haters troll like yourself is NO DOUBT A FREAKING DEFORMED MONSTER, A LADY CACA REDUCTIVE FAN. Ewww.
Envious and Jealous of what? Her p**** blood? Her screaming, barking? No thanks. I envy real vocalists with class and dignity such as Beyonce 🙂
I don’t think aguilera would have stayed on stage if that had been blood. There were lots of other candidates to sing that song as many have mentionned, jhud for ex, but chrissy was still the one that was picked and apparently her performance was enjoyed,given that rev Jesse James himself asked the crowd to give it up once again” to my girl.
^yet you’re not a big fan of Bey… right lil monster?
you just using Beyonce to irritate Aguilera stans. smh
you’re wasting ur time by always coming back to X’ post gurl….
*insert your own gravatar* Pffff~
@ MRDIVABITCH and all the other haters :
You are extremely jealous of Christina Aguilera. You wish you could bark like her.
But you f*cking can’t. Beyonce f*cking can’t either. So you can stay stressed and envious of Christina Aguilera forever.
You poor nervous and stressed haters can keep looking at Christina’s legs all week long. Keep looking at THE SH*T RUNNING DOWN XTINA’S LEGS!!!!!!! THAT’S RIGHT, XTINA LITERALLY SH*TS ON YOU.
You fail, haters.
Xtina always wins, by default : Most talented epic pop star!!!
I am more proud of her every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! If that’s even possible!!!
@ lax…
rihanna would have done it better? you’re joking right?!
@ lmaooo & bey…
have you taken notice of how many times the christina hater ‘mrdiva’ resorted to the irrelevant subject of blood dripping? at least resorting to my opinion that christina is the better singer between her and bey is on topic.
@ mrdivabitch…
if most “professional singers” don’t sing properly but yet they became professionals in spite of it it. which confirms that who is a good singer is a matter of opinion and taste. in other words, good singing, to a point, is ‘in the ear of the listener’.
one does not have to hit every note on the scale perfectly to sound good. the only ones that sound like they have consistently perfect pitch to me is celin, mariah and barbara s. obviously, christina sounds good enough to a multitude because she constantly gets standing ovations after her every performance for what you call her “straining and screaming”.
btw, i checked out bey singing ‘listen’ on youtube. i’ll leave it there.
i haven’t heard of these opera singers supposedly praising bey vs christina. i have read a little on websites that bey’s singing ability is underrated. that tells me she’s not getting all the kudos for singing christina is getting even though you and lmaooo think bey is better.
Look……. Xtina Aguilera paid tribute to :
Whitney Houston, Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, …… wwwooooowww…
Some of the best vocalists of all time……..ONLY CHRISTINA AGUILERA, MY FAVORITE!!!!!!! WHO ELSE?????????????
Who the f*ck else, haters????????
UGH, I am so proud to be an Xtina STAN!!!!!!!!
2012, new album!
Look……. Xtina Aguilera paid tribute to :
Whitney Houston, Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, …… wwwooooowww… MICHAEL JACKSON……. etc…………
WHO ELSE????????????????????????????
Only Christina Maria Aguilera.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH EPIC.
@ LALA
I don’t follow Beyonce’s music, never have, but I respect her a vocalist.
@ Mr Divo the Gentleman
That’s what I don’t get from you bro…
you “envy a real vocalist like beyonce” but not her big fan or even follow her music??!?! like what the hell… O,o?!
…or became a fan of another female with strong/great VOCALS; ala Leona, jHud, aKeys, Kelly Clarkson, etc… Okay, Gaga has a great vocals too. but you NEVER call on her flaws (example: that strained note on “HAIR” studio version) aren’t you?
Yet you always hard on to this Aguilera Girl. yes sometimes you give your true opinion of her. but many timesss you jab her with… false facts! 😐 (Father r**** her, Back To Black was the 1st before Back To Basic, Xtina announce herself as a true Vocalist/Voice of her generation, etc) SMH. & on other post you never complained on Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney & others about their vocals.
that just showed that you are… have sumthin sumthin to Christina. She’s your favorite girl to be the ‘punching bag’. Boy, you have unhealthy obsession to Miss Christina Aguilera…
You should pay attention to the one you LOVE (GaGa, Lara Fabian, etc) than Xtina, because you will NEVER gonna change they way she sing… ever. meanwhile… working on your music/single/songs brother. Although I’m not a fan of your vocals… I still encourage you to finish it. Goodluck & best wishes. because, Negativity create a hole in your soul.
Peace~
*because, Negativity ONLY create a hole in your soul.*
btw… is this on purpose that you call yourself… MR DIVABITCH ?
shouldn’t you call yourself a “DIVO”?! xD
Christina Augilera never fitted in. You had Britney, Pink, Lady Gaga now we have Adele. If everyone LOVED christina’s voice wouldn’t they have bought her album in 2010. Nop her album went wood.
CA can’t sing, Jennifer sounds 100x better than Christina.
They chose CA because no one else could do it.
Jennifer have to go to court, Adele resting.
CA never been “successful” Mariah Carey, MJB don’t even like her lol. Mariah can sing circles around CA dripping p****.
Well, B’s 4 is her lowest selling album to date, but peeps still love her. So what’s the big deal?
@ JILL
I see the haters are more delusional and lying to themselves more than ever afetr the funeral!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s unbelievable………
Jennifer Hudson or Adele would’ve been invited over Xtina Aguilera, you say????????? WHY???????????????
Those newbies never even met Etta James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Etta James never said she liked any of them. Etta James LOVED CHRISTINA AGUILERA!! DOES THAT MAKE YOU MAD AND VERY JEALOUS????? Do you feel bad for your favorite artist????
Poor pathetic haters! Stay mad and jealous.
I cannot believe how many haters have gotten angry over this performance.
Poor fools, they didn’t expect Christina to have the honor to sing for Etta and probably didn’t expect the absolutely fantastic and bad@** vocals from her.
F*cking jealous haters.
Christina has had haters since her Star Search days, when she was a tiny little child. She’s used to this bullsh*t. You can’t hold her down, idiots.
Look……. Xtina Aguilera paid tribute to :
Whitney Houston, Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Etta James… MICHAEL JACKSON……. etc…………
WHO ELSE????????????????????
Only Christina Maria Aguilera.
There’s no other way around it.
It’s one or the other :
1 – If you think Christina Aguilera is a great singer, you are normal and sane and decent.
2 – If you don’t think Christina Aguilera can sing, you are deranged, mentally disturbed, not normal in some way. Seek psychiatric help.
Point blank, bottom line.
God bless her
Amazing Voice
Amazing Soul
Amazing Performance
there will never be another Christina Aguilera!!!!
@Jill
How old are you honey?
you known nothing about real facts….
& it’s obvious that not EVERYONE in love with Christina (voice).
but everyone loved to slam/punch/claws this girl in every direction
(like you did with bring MJB’s statement, & CA can’t sing)
What’s the colleration bring jHud/Adele at Etta James’ funeral??
nothing… it’s not like a Grammy award, etc with the current HOT singers invited to sang. Xtina has sweet history with Etta! She’s her Idol, & Etta also adore Christina. (it showed that you’re lack of knowledge about this one)
Yes… Mariah is above Christina, I admit that.
but about MJB… damn gurl~~~ I don’t know about this one
coz you know, she’s been under the influence of… :/ drugs? *shrug*
Hey, Christina, did you think you were hitting a night club when you were dressing for Etta’s funeral? Wake up you stupid trash, that dress was totally inappropriate. And your version of At Last was horrible! Your days as a singer are over, sister!
XTINA’s DRIPPING P**** AND BLOODY MISCARRIAGE ON THE FLOOR!

LMAO!!!!
I did NOT like that one bit. She took away from that song by doing too much. She screams for a living
Christina’s @sshole took a sh*t on all the jealous people that hate her.
Christina is an epic b*tch and you know it. Stay envious and mad, haters.
You wish your favorite sounded like Xtina. But you favorites never will sound like her in a million years.
Christina is a Bad@**, like Etta James was too.
Stay mad at all that sh*t on her legs and all the cleavage. It’s the end of the world haters!!!!!!! Stay mad!!!!!!!!! Stay stupid, hopeless and clueless you f*cking idiots.
It doesn’t matter.
Etta James was smiling from Heaven. She loved Christina’s tribute and the outfit!
The Christina haters are all a bunch of ugly, deformed, untalented midgets with horrible taste. Who cares what they think. Christina certainly doesn’t care.
Punching haters in the face since 1993, MMC.
@ JILL-
Why would Christina every try to fit in when she knows she was born to stand out?
If that were me, I’d rather stand out!
And that’s a shame that you think Jennifer Hudson sounds better than Christina. Now you want to listen to somebody who has no vocal control and screams more than she sings, then listen to Jennifer. She has a powerful voice to say the least but she really needs a vocal coach to get control over her chops!
all the christina haters here who love to rag on christina totally overlook the fact that each on of their faves also have several vocal flaws. some have the same flaws they crawl up christina’s behind about.
despite the trash these stans like to talk, even if their faves can sing they’re far from pitch perfect.

My faves are Mariah & Whitney in their prime, Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra, Nana Mouskouri and Lara Fabian.
So yeah, they ARE pitch perfect.
None of the Christina Aguilera stans are here for wack@** “pitch perfect” sh*t.
We are here for her natural, bad@** talent. Can the haters STFU about pitch and technique? WE ARE NOT HERE FOR THAT MIERDA!!!!!!!! We do NOT give a flying F*CK!!!!
And so did Etta James, she didn’t care. She was respected Christina Aguilera just the way she is!
Stay jealous, haters.
Go listen to your favorite opera singers and try to relax and not worry about Christina Aguilera so much. YOU BRAIN-LESS MBECILES!!
@ ha ha ha ha…
i agree with mariah and barbra s. i disagree about whitney when she first blew up. i only began to like her voice after she took a more souful tone (i’m your baby tonight, and i loved heartbreak hotel).
your other faves, i’ve never heard of. few singers including professionals have perfect pitch and most stans don’t give a crap. with alledged vocal flaws christina still gets kudos from most in the music industry (including from some of the haters).
@MRDIVABITCH
I know how it feels. Your Idol Beyonce if without Christina Aguilera would be called the voice of generation. however with Xtina existence! she can never be. That is why you will take time to bash and try to break xtina’s talent to make look like your idol as the voice of generation. Im sorry but beyonce will never be.
You are present on every xtina post. even in none xtina post you are dissing her, which leaves you ZERO credibility. Im starting to think that you are a Beyonce’s employee whose main task is to diss artist to make her look good.
or you are simply obsessed with Xtina and you can’t help it but to get jelous with her.
