Pop diva Christina Aguilera and her “team” of contestants took front stage centre on The Voice tonight, performing an ensemble rendition of her 2002 hit ‘Fighter’.
How did Ms. Aguilera and co fare? The answer awaits after the jump…
While the performance was a little rough around the edges (and could have done without the chick on the bridge), it served as a solid showcase – especially vocally. Indeed, unlike some of her ‘post-Bionic‘ showings, this is unlikely to harm her comeback campaign, rather enhance it.
Although, for such an important “return”, I’d have “saved” her stage-comeback for the promo of her new single. And if any such “Voice” performance was a must, then negotiate for it to take place after her own. Thus ensuring her comeback is more of an event than merely part of the show.
In any way, what’s done is done…
Your thoughts?

Best singer of this generation without a doubt! Sry Beyonce…Xtina would do to you vocally What Jennifer Hudson did to you in Dreamgirls.
Christina has been making poor fashion statements as of late. I applaud her for being comfortable in her skin, as we all should be, but once you’re at a certain weight everything will NOT look flattering as it did before! Her vocals are slowly starting to strain which leads me to believe that she’s (a.) probably drinking more than a singer should, (b.) smoking more than a singer should, or (c.) she’s growing the dreaded nodules that have to be surgically removed — but it’s her life. If she likes it, I love it!
Best singer of this generation? Umm, no. She’s a great singer but not the best. Her vocals are not even close to flawless. The performance was okay. But seriously, wtf was she wearing?
Christina is The Best Vocalist in the World these past decade and current decade.
Nothing wrong with her performance but that outfit totally sucks! She really needs to start dressing for her size, she doesn’t need to lose weight but she does need some dress sence, most of her awful outfits make her look bigger than she really is.
Sorry but Christina isn’t the best vocalist of her generation. Brandy and Fantasia are still alive
Needs to get her music out there… what is she waiting for???
If this was a good vocally performance… Gosh, y’all are so tone deaf. She’s great and stuff but she needs to learn how to control her damn voice, her clock is ticking. Btw, Jesse served vocals for dinner and Aguilera choked.
She a great singer but not the best alive! We still have Brandy Norwood, J Hudson, Mariah and Celine. Christina comes just after Bey.
Great perfomance tho.

@Songscribe: actually, Christina can sing better than Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Kelly Clarkson can sing better than Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson as well
In all the years Xtina has been around she has NEVER rushed an album, she is old skool and has said many times that she does not feel the need to have an album out every year, it’s about quality not quantity, The Voice has been brilliant for her as people are getting a chance to see who she really is and she is a strong yet lovely women who is passionate about music, I think she should take her time with this record and comeback with another album that is a part of history rather than todays microwave 2 minute forgettable pop, by the way LOVED this performance and her outfit!
Great!
This performance is not just about Christina. She had to give her team some of the spotlight too, so I didn’t have a lot of expectations. Her proper stage return (I guess closer to the finale) will be much more memorable, though, that’s for sure. I also love the way she looks, she’s lost a lot of weight and she looks healthier. And the beginning was incredibly cute too! 🙂
I can’t wait for her to premiere her single. She’s going to nail it and if anything she has a lot to prove. She has to remind people why she’s considered the voice of her generation.
Best singer of this generation YAAAS!!!
Sam, you are NEVER happy w/ anyone’s performance unless it’s Beyonce! She sang this w/ her team, so of course she’s going to sing one of her old songs and not her new one! Besides, she’s proving that she still has the vocals and stage performance, despite everything! I found her stunningly beautiful and amazing, I was gaping at her mouth open. I liked this performance, the challenge for her was to perform w/o outshining the others, I think she pulled it off well and that body is BANGING!
Hun..sorry Christina isn’t the best singer of anything…know why?
Beyonce,Fantasia,Carrie Underwood,Jesse J,Jennifer Hudson,MaryMary, and a slew of others sound better than her. She was at one time maybe around stripped but improper singing all these yrs have taken a toll on her vocals
at the end of the day she is one of the best singers of our time. along with jennifer hudson, jessie j, beyonce etc. we should be encouraging them for their talent! while talentless h*** like katy perry should be discouraged.
First off… did anyone not notice her horrible hair? Bad tracks for days!!
Now… best voice?? I will give it to her.. Christina has chops on her. But they are wishy washy nowadays. You never know if she is going to be good or if she is going to suck. She needs to stop with all the runs she tries to do because she can’t do them anymore. And as for some of the high notes she tries to hit… stop that too. Adele and Jessie J have 2 of the most purest, well controlled, solid/meaty voices. Christina needs to get back to THAT basic!
To be a great vocalist you have to know how to control your voice. That is one of the main problems with Christina. She overdoes it most of the time. She holds out her notes too long and her vibrato is a mess half the time. It’s like she has to prove that she can sing. We get it! She is a great singer but not a great vocalist. No where near the top. Sorry.
I don´t think those are good vocals but it´s ok. I respect Xtina as an artist more than some other females from the last decade. I´m more interested in Xtina´s material than any other woman mentioned on this post. But her vocals are terrible most of the time and have always been, stunning at times though. Overall it´s not a pleasant voice a la true great 🙂
BEST SINGER OF OUR GENERATION .. who’s mad?
no one have her STRONG UNIQUE TONE and her POWERFUL PIPES ..
ALL THE BLACK B****** SOUND THE SAME!!!
CHURCH SINGERS ..
bye
With a smash hit show, and a #1 single with Adam, Christina is ready to rock.
Just follow in Mariah’s footsteps with TEOM, and do it right this time.
She deserves a second chance, and I haven’t given up on her yet.
It was awful. If she was taking voice lessons at all…the voice lessons are not working, it’s the same strained/constricted/struggling/ugly sound as always…and her range seems to become narrower and narrower with each performance.
How can anyone call her “the best vocalist” when she can’t even sing her own damn songs without dodging the high notes or struggling her way through them?
It was dreadful, absolutely dreadful.
@ LOULOU
Her vibrato is a mess? what vibrato? She holds her notes squeezing her throat, without vibrato, and ends up singing FLAT most of the times.
It’s one of the ugliest voices I’ve heard in my life.
@mrdivabitch?seriously primohomme?is this the best u could come up with?LMAO.it really doesn`t take long for you trolls to come out doesn`t it?Its 1 of the most ugliest voices u have ever heard,yet u are addicted and obsessed over it.If her voice is ugly what would u leave for yours ,wannabe?
MRDIVABITCH is the number 1 hater of Christina. Check all Xtina’s post here.
Anyways, Best singers of all time
1. Whitney Houston
2. Mariah Carey
3. Christina Aguilera
4. Celine Dion
In order.. Christina is the lacking element on the long standing trio of best vocalist.. the arrival of Christina aguilera in the music scene completes the four element.
@RICH86
Sweetie, I just keep hoping this poor woman will make some vocal improvement as her stans keep hyping her to be this OMG amazing vocalist, but all I hear coming out of her mouth is noise 🙂
And no sweetie, you will NEVER hear my voice sounding tight/choked/constricted/strained on simple middle voice notes, that’s for the amateurs 🙂
@ SMALL_ANGEL
You are really musically retarded if you think the list of greatest singers includes Christina and Celine. Celine is better than Christina because Celine has a much better intonation than Christina, but Lara Fabian and Linda Eder are superior vocalists than Celine Dion, and a list of true great vocalists should include Aretha Franklin, Mina, Caterina Valente, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, etc…but of course, the little tiny bonsai minds don’t know music older than 20 years.
Sorry but Christina has lost her “voice” her voice sounds harsh and like shes grunting to sound soulful–sorry but nowadays Melanie Fiona, Chrissette Michele and a few other chicks can sing this half-breed under the table.
@ SHADY1
TONS of b****** can outsing Christina, you listed some examples, but other ones would be Beverly Knight, Anastacia, Monica Naranjo, Vanessa Amorosi, Lara Fabian, So Hyang, etc.
Her voice is trash nowadays, and even before the vocal decline her vocal ability didn’t even match Mariah’s or Whitney’s heels to deserve being compared to them.
@mrdivabitch,primohomme u don`t have a life or sth?Still no record deal huh?U are truly sick in your mind,i clearly remembered they posted a pic of xtina on this site on a date with matt and u were also here commenting on her.Fucktard do u have nothing else to do besides stalk xtina?what u got gps or sth on her?PS u are nothing but an obsessed hater,u don`t support her nor her music so she`s not singing to plz u,so get over f****** it!yeah?
@ RICH86
I am an operatic as well as alternative pop/rock artist, my main concern is quality of art, not record deals of sales. Rihanna has a record deal, is she a great vocalist?
I am a better vocalist than your b****, while she can’t even sing the E5 in her own f****** song I am belting out C6 and even D6! Have a seat.
And do you have anything better to do than defend a b**** that YOU DON’T KNOW AND DOESN’T KNOW YOU as if she was your mom, your god, your best friend for ever, the person that pays your bills? Seriously, miss honey…do you think if you ever needed her she would come to your aid? are you that deluded? LMAO.
^
And do you have anything better to do than HATING a b**** that YOU DON’T KNOW personally AND DOESN’T KNOW YOU???!
😐
@lala lmao exactly,i`m wrong for defending her but that mariah wannabe has all rights to bash her.He clearly doesn`t get it,he hate her voice/singing yet he wait on pins and needles for her to sing so he can run online and start his little failed crusade.He runs his trap on how he`s such a gr8 singer yet sounds like s*** on everything he has recorded.He claim he is working on getting a record deal yet his pressed xtina ass is always up in her business talking about her.Get this lala,he also claims to have a boyfriend much hotter than jason statham LMAO,So he is so gr8 vocally and is doing so much with his life as he claim plus got an incredibly hot man yet he is stalking christina aguilera and always here and on u tube,Well blow me down lol.
@mrdivabitch(seriously that name is so f****** ridiculous just like your voice)lmao,i guess crazy ppl will never admit how insane they are,won`t they? U need help.PS then u like to blame christina fans for attacking u acting like some little innocent prissy ass b**** but u clearly like to provoke,what?u got no friends so u come here to make conversations?lol
^ He is just an insecure person. super critical towards Xtina & tbh towards himself… that’s why he never get pass his own bubble of this & that… If only Mr.Diva acted more mature & more open about there is no such thing as super perfect. & some people have their own standard.. of whom they are adore as an idol. & what singing voice they preferred.
@ Mr. Agnello Dei
You better stop your critical attempt towards other artist (example: Xtina or Adele) & MOVE ON with your own voice, vocal range & talent you have. btw, I wonder why on your utube channel, you never singing a cover song in full?? (I guess you afraid that people will comment on you negatively like your comment towards Xtina right?) for I know you only show of your vocal range & that’s it.
and oh… vocal range is nothing if you lack of stage present. just sayin.
Boyce Avenue, Marie Digby, Lily Allen & many others.. started them career on Youtube. I hope someday you’ll do the same.
Stop bitching… Start Singing!
Peace out! LaLa.

@ LALA
I got full songs, ORIGINAL songs, not interested in recording any more covers, that’s why I don’t sing covers 🙂 Get it?
@RICH86
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I sound like s***, suuuuure, yet I’m not the one sounding like I’m choking on a chicken bone trying to sing such a simple song such as “Fighter”, which by the way 🙂 I sang the bridge off hitting all the high notes and even adding more difficult runs (something Christina could #NEVER).
PS: Who said I hate Christina? I don’t hate her as a person, I hate her deluded ridiculous stans who act as if the world should lick her asshole clean and proclaim her as the biggest greatest vocalist who ever lived and when confronted with the truth of her immense and obvious vocal flaws they become violent and creepy.
@ mrdivabitch,u came here and started spewing your recycled crap,none of her fans called u out neither mentioned u here.Let us not even get into the fighter thing,cuz as technical as u are u will never in the light of day sell it like christina.Sure she sounds like she`s choking on a chicken bone just the same way u sound like bull winkle getting f***** .Give it a rest darling and take lala`s advise.PS her fans becomes violent and creepy?Dude what would u leave for yourself?
@lala,what he fail to acknowledge is not every singer would be appealing to every1,he love to tear down other singers who have a record deal,yet when their fans defend them he calls them all sorts of name but when some1 criticizes him gets super defensive.He`s not ready for a record nor fame,cuz he`s not mature enough to handle it.The slightest criticism he`ll receive,he would start fighting with his gutter behaviour .PS u hit the spot with his short clip recordings,its all about the range and vocal technique and hitting the note,nothing more.
@Mr.DivaB!tch
Oh bless your poor soul Mr.Diva
not famous yet, but already acted like “DivaBitch” well goodluck with all that.
btw, this is my personal opinion: I got nothing by hearing your singing… yes you got range… but it felt flat to my ears. & the latest link you showed me (you singing on some little room?) that was my point about “stage present”… you’re concentrating so much about technicality but you forget about the soul… you should work on that instead worrying about Xtina’s voice & what her fans/crazy stans doing. for real!
once again my message for you:
Stop B!tching, Start Singing…!
@ LALA
Singing WELL is about the technicalities
I’m not the only one who has spoken against Christina’s terrible technical ability and lack of musicianship, you know this, even she knows this.
It’s totally fine if you are not “moved” by my singing, some other people are, just like some people are moved by Christina’s singing and for me the only thing she moves are my bowels.
^ Well you know with the case of Ms.Xtina… She’s not what you want as a singer. so LET IT GO & MOVE ON with your own voice & career. Make more people love & known you as a vocalist that you are. instead being known as this Mr.DivaBitch.
if “Singing WELL is about the technicalities” it still funny that you’re not a fans of Beyonce. She’s all about technicality & has great voice!
😐 wow
