Christina Aguilera Hits Studio With Darkchild

Published: Tuesday 29th May 2012 by Sam

Along with higher ratings, many anticipated season 2 of The Voice would bring with it the chart return of Christina Aguilera.

Yet, the curtain fell on the latest series without a morsel of new material from the diva.

Fret not, though. For, it appears the 31 year old has been diligently working on music on the low.

Writing on Twitter today, hitmaker Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins confirmed that he laid down new tracks with the ‘Dirrty’ songstress earlier this month.

The ‘Lose My Breath’ producer joins the likes of Cee-Lo Green and DJ Premier as high-profile names tapped to contribute to the album – which will serve as Aguilera’s 5th traditional release (and 7th overall).

With season 3 of The Voice set to hit screens this Fall instead of early next year (in a bid to go head-to-head with the X Factor US), we can only hope her big comeback is being earmarked for the same window.

What’s more, with old rival Britney set to be active and on-screen during that same window, what better way to capitalise on the publicity and inevitable comparisons than with a new project?

Your thoughts?

    Long overdue! Christina Aguilera is going to slay this time! It will be the 90’s all over again later this year with Xtina vs Brit but just this time a decade later, Christina Aguilera is the most talented not only because of her voice but because of her writing her own music & sometimes co-produced & she can still perform and hit the stage and wow a crowed! Her judging skills on the show is honest too & she gets paid more per episode than Britney does and X Factor has more episodes than the Voice so it’s like X gets paid more and I love Brit! I hoped with this album they would collab but I doubt that would happen since Brit will be on X factor now & Xtina on The Voice!

    I hope Xtina collabs with Beyonce, Eminem & Mariah but I doubt the Mariah thing will happen anytime soon. Also she needs to take Timbaland on that offer that he tweeted he has something for her, they have yet to work too.

    im a Fan of Both Christina & Britney but come on…

    there’s simply No Competition,It’s BRITNEY B*tch!
    britney will come out on top as usual, x-factor will #1 Show on tv in the fall

    • irene46 May 29, 2012

      the media will jock the talentless britney as a superstar wonder “because they insist she’s a sweet innocent being” ( as voicelera 9:43am says) and beat down christina as they always do because they hate her. positive press might cause her to outshine britney.

      it’s insane how the media spreads the britney hype and her stans fool themselves (and try to fool everyone else) that her mediocrity is greatness (it’s britney b*tch…yeah, and so). two weak selling cds (blackout and femme fatale) show that don’t mean much to many.

  3. LegendTina The Goddess Of Music May 29, 2012

    It’s Britney B****! They will both be ontop to be honest, but Christina the artist & judge critic will be more respected than that of Brit. Brit has more albums out than Xtina & obviously sold more but Xtina herself has all the success Britney had, #1 albums, #1 singles, millions of platinum albums sold, awards & that and they both a decade later in the industry but popularity and sales does not mean that person is more talented. Xtina was not question or anything like that when she had to jugde other singers & performance, Brit was questioned and from other artists so that already says something…..

  4. Voicelera, voice of reason May 29, 2012

    Only a foking mentally deranged imbecile would prefer Britney Spears over Christina Aguilera.

    Britney = Inarticulate, slow, untalented, dependent, fake, unstable, corny
    Christina = Articulate, smart, talented, independent, honest, stable, bad@**

    Use your foking logic, people. What’s better??????
    Think about, you idiots.

    Britney fans are strange clowns, insisting that Britney is some kind of angel and sweet innocent being and that’s why they buy Britney’s CDs.

    Buying someone’s CD because of their supposed personality instead of the actual music is some of the most ret@rded sh*t I’ve ever seen. People are nuts.

    • irene46 May 29, 2012

      your right. britney’s stans are usual animals. deluding themselves she’s some sort of queen pop phenom even though she can no longer put on a decent perfromance to save her life.

      what makes it even worse is that the media is the beating heart of this ‘britney boot licking breed’. it’s hard to believe it’s the idea of nbc to put ‘the voice’ up against ‘the x factor’ knowing how the ‘christina hating media hyenas’ will probably claw, rip and tear at christina to keep her from overshadowing britney.

      seems like the dumbest move.

      • irene46 May 29, 2012

        correction: britney stan are ‘unusual’

  6. aishaaguilerakeys May 29, 2012

    WOOT! THIS is the news I’ve been waiting for. Sure, I would have prefered a new single, but this will do for the moment. DJ Premier did a good job on B2B, I’m glad he’s aboard!

  7. Virtuoso Intellect May 29, 2012

    Where’s my buddy @ASAP ? Wonder what he thinks of darkchild … Some say he’s sound is outdated …..

    • Gilberto May 29, 2012

      Darkchild definitely updated his sound. He produced Black Eyed Peas’ ‘I Just Can’t Get Enough’, which was one of the biggest hits of last year.
      But I think after Bionic, she should play safe. Darkchild isn’t a hot name in years, his last major single, ‘Big Hoops’ by Nelly Furtado, flopped everywhere.

      • Miguel May 29, 2012

        I agree, she should go with Max Martin – what hasn’t he turned into a hit? Plus, he can make a nice drumbeat too

        Until now, it’s been reported she’s worked with:
        – Talay Riley
        – Cee Lo Green
        – Max Martin
        – Darkchild
        – DJ Premiere
        – Xenomania
        – Le Tigre

        Hopefully her label and advisors will help her sort through all of that (and there’s probably even more!) and not have a messy album like Bionic

  8. Miguel May 29, 2012

    She better get it together this time… I wish someone would executive produce her albums instead of her. She is very all over the place with her records and adds lots of filler songs that aren’t needed

    Bionic was a mess, with a few gems. One track acoustic, the next electro, the next pop-rock, the next r&b. Then it’s supposed to be “futuristic” but she’s dressed up as an S&M vixen with a thing gagging her mouth… like, what a mess of a concept?

  9. S****** Blonde May 29, 2012

    I think this album is well planned coz her comeback must be epic, that’s is what everyone wants, a slap in the face to those haters, she is the best young voice of our times, i’m ready for her.

  10. ADELE: THE QUEEN OF POP May 29, 2012

    LMAOOO Christina aguilera fans don’t get to hyped, excited, and have high hopes for this H**. Bionic was a mess and the biggest flop everi n history for a superstar of her level and she has waited like 2 years after bionic to record another album???? FLOPtina is irrelevant! She can’t sing anymore and she screams and holds notes longer than they need to…..I don’t see a huge comeback for her. Britney Spears was always BIGGER and SELLING more than Christina was. if Britney could not DESTORY the competition with FEMME FATALE than WHOREtina SLUTlera will not. This b**** voice is so overrated! no one gives a f*** about hervoice, if they did =, then BIONIC would NOT FLOP! No one is interested in HAS BEENtina . her glory days being overshadowed by Britney Spears is over!!!!! THE VOICE OF THSI GENERATION= ADELE! Adelecan sing and has the most beautiful voice ever! 21 SLAYS anything this overrated ass barking dog ever put out and u will DEAL! ADELE THE QUEEN BITCHESSSS!

    • facts May 30, 2012

      Christina Aguilera is one of the best singers of all time, even Celine Dion herself says Christina Aguilera is probably better than Celine freaking Dion herself! Look it up.

      Christina is the only singer who can “scream” very successfully and beautifully and powerfully. All of Xtina’s haters WISH they could scream like her! The haters wish their favorite artist was a natural prodigy and raw talent like Xtina.

      Adele is a good singer but she is monotone and terribly boring. I might be the only person in the world that hasn’t heard her latest album or bought it. Adele is slightly overrated in general.

      Xtina, with her epic bad@** ways, continues to offend all the jealous idiots of the world. Oh well. Life goes on, the Earth keeps turing and Xtina remains outstanding and amazing. The haters can stay mad.

  11. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) May 29, 2012

    I am a little hesitant about it. Darkchild is a bit hit or miss. He did a good job with Nelly Furtado and a decent job on Britney’s deluxe ‘FF’ album, but he’s not the most consistent producer. She’s worked with about 20 producers so far, though, so his contribution is questionable at this stage. Maybe his tracks will be included, maybe not. I just hope this works better than her collaboration with Polow Da Don did. I actually LOVE ‘WooHoo’ and ‘NMT’, but I’m in the minority in this case 😳

    Anyway, Christina has never failed creatively for me so far. Even ‘Bionic’, as criticized and overlooked as it was, sounded good and fresh to me. I hope her label give her creative control, because ‘Bionic’ would have been top notch experimental pop if they hadn’t intervened. Christina is an artist, she needs freedom to keep the gems rolling. And I’m patient, as long as she’s ready to come for lives and nail it. 😀 😀

    • S****** Blonde May 29, 2012

      I agree.

  12. irene46 May 29, 2012

    since ‘the voice’ is aired for a second time on e! tv on another day of the week, how does this affect the ratings tally? many of ‘the voice’ fans may not watch the first airing but catch it on the second on the other station.

    this could make it falsely appear the competing shows have greater viewership. this will be important when ‘the voice’ and ‘x factor’ go head to head (christina vs britney).

    • irene46 May 30, 2012

      what’s to dislike? i just wanted an answer to my question. how does nielson tally viewers for ‘the voice’ since the show was reran on the weekend on e! tv does anybody know?

  13. mr.m May 29, 2012

    Darkchild was my dream producer .. well WAS!
    he’s not a HIT MAKER anymore ..
    but I’m 100% SURE that Xtina’s voice can turn a piece of s*** into gold!!

    #BOOM #FACT

  14. Small_Angel May 29, 2012

    Im very excited on whatever Christina will serve me.. im sure its epic.

  15. MRDIVABITCH May 29, 2012

    I guess she will let another 4 years ago by between albums
    She hasn’t learned a damn thing. Meanwhile, voice lessons are not working.

    • facts May 30, 2012

      Xtina shiots on you and remains epic.

      You can remain stressed and ret@rded and brainless and corny and w@ck.

    Ahmm.. It’s possible, you should try it..

  18. MRDIVABITCH May 30, 2012

    Hate? Oh honey, I don’t hate Christina 🙂 if I hated her I wouldn’t be giving her “tough love” speaking the truth about her s***** vocals, hoping she actually improves with voice lessons instead of being ANOTHER enabler of her vocal decline like all her brain-washed stans are.
    So no. I don’t hate her 🙂 if anything, I hate her musically retarded stans.

    • facts May 30, 2012

      You are a ret@rd PERIOD.

      Xtina is a natural, raw, gritty prodigy. And epic natural talent.

      All your training and vocal lessons are pure SH*T in comparison to Xtina.

      Xtina is ONE IN A MILLION. ONE IN A TRILLION.
      Nothing like all the trained wannabes of the world.
      Stay mad and jealous, there is nothing special about envious idiots like yourself, MR. SH*T.

      • MRDIVABITCH May 30, 2012

        A prodigy that can’t stay in tune while singing live? I don’t think so. #FACT.

        @ MRDIVABITCH

        You are a cringe-worthy, wack@** WANNABE.

        HUGE FACT.

        Xtina remains an epic person with a flawless singing career.

        Go cry about Katy Perry’s voice or Britney’s voice instead of Xtina’s, you jealous f*ck. You are a bad joke.

  19. Small_Angel May 30, 2012

    oh honey.. i guess you really don’t know what you are doing. or simply you dont don’t know what is the meaning of hate. BTW, heres the typical you… Whenever there is a Christina Aguilera post, for sure you are going to post something NEGATIVE, around 99% of all your comment about Christina is NEGATIVE. Then the 1% you would praise her then shade her at the same time. I guess you really love if not like her…
    BTW, you will never become a singer… you are not great MRDIVABITCH, if you are, you should be famous by now, Damn! Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, and Britney is famous now.. those mentioned are average singer… where are you?
    You will die delusinal, feeling a great singer but the TRUTH is YOU ARE NOT.

  20. MRDIVABITCH May 30, 2012

    @SMALL_ANGEL

    LMAO! Like all typical musically retarded stans you don’t even see the fallacy in your attempt at reasoning.
    1- If fame would equal to vocal ability then Madonna would be the greatest vocalist to ever live.
    2- If vocal ability were equal to fame you would own a Debelah Morgan or Lisa Fischer album, but I bet you don’t even know who they are, because you stan for trash instead.
    3- I’m first and foremost a classically trained singer, and my aim in life is to be a great artist, musician and vocalist. I am not interested not willing to do some of the things required to achieve the level of fame of Christina, such as having s** with ugly black men for pre-made beats (Dallas Austin). Instead I concentrate on perfecting my art and I hope by the time I’m 30 I’m good enough to do justice to the high bel canto tenor roles Bellini, Donizetti, Mozart, Rossini and others composed.
    4- I, unlike Christina, can actually play several instruments, compose, arrange, produce, engineer, mix and master. I don’t have to depend on a team of lesbians to make songs for me or ugly black men to give me pre-made beats in exchange for head. So unless she suddenly and magically learns to play piano, guitar, bass, drums…unless the learns to read and write sheet music…unless she develops the ability to truly mutate her voice to sing different styles of music (because singing different music with the same s***** strained screaming is not versatility) I will ALWAYS be a better musician, better vocalist and better ARTIST than her 🙂

I never said Vocal ability will sure give you fame… I never said that, You assumed that.. i even mentioned names i consider to be an AVERAGE SINGER and labeled them FANOUS. I was simply asking where are you now? You keep looking at Christina’s fault, why not start looking up yourself first. BTW, STOP PROMOTING YOURSELF here, We don’t care if you can hit those high notes or play Billions of musical Instrument… WE REALLY DON’T CARE…

    Sweetie, how am I promoting myself here? I talk about Christina and you start talking about me and my singing, if anything YOU are promoting me 🙂 I simply replied to YOUR comment about ME 🙂 Understood?

    Where am I now? I’m in school, about to finish my second college degree, I finished a fabulous demo in december of last year and I performed at the SXSW music festival in march of this year. I’m quite happy with that right now 🙂

    • Xtina makes wannabes mad May 31, 2012

      You really have to be the biggest imbecile ever.

  24. Small_Angel May 30, 2012

    MRDIVABITCH, i’am not only talking about your self promoting here on this post.. you are on your second degree you might know how to backread, read those previous Christina Aguilera post where you commented, and you will able to realize that you’ve said many times about YOUR vocal trainings, YOU being a musician, YOU knowing how to write stuff, etc.. now YOU are saying your on your second college degree.. which i guess that really doesn’t show since you are insinuating christina is getting songs from producer by having s**.. only high school student will believe that without any proof.
    Anyways Im on my 3rd college degree now, and again will finish it with the highest honor. oh, my bad, im self promoting now.. my bad.. LOL

  25. MRDIVABITCH May 30, 2012

    @SMALL_ANGEL

    Sweetie, Dallas Austin himself said Christina (and Joss Stone) have s** for beats 🙂 Christina considered sueing but things came ot light that stopped her from doing it so, and then Dallas Austin apologized for “hurting the feelings of the families” of both Christina and Joss Stone, but never said that his statements were untrue, and if they were…Christina would have would have sued, but she didn’t 🙂
    Then when Jordan divorced Christina, he and Dallas exchanged tweets…Dallas tweeted “we got him back from the crazy” and Jordan replied “yay!”.

  26. Small_Angel May 30, 2012

    MRDIVABITCH your point is?
    Are you trying to say that since they Jordan and that producer exchanged tweets means that producer is already telling the truth?
    How do you verify? is that the way of your verification? Damn.. wat are you? elementary graduate.
    You know what, if Christina didn’t pursue the case it doesn’t mean that the alleged s** for a song is true.. You need to consider your time, legality and all that. tat kind of statement may be easily be denied or turn in to somekind of a kidding stuff.. You know its possible.

  27. irene46 May 30, 2012

    @ mrdivabitch…

    throwing immature, seedy, trashy rumors about christina’s s** life has nothing to do with singing ability. also rolling in the gutter with this shyt does nothing to disprove your hate for her.

    i still don’t understand why you insist that the average pop music listener would take notice of all the techniques that a trained ear would.

    why can’t you except the fact that christina’s tone or whatever, is what makes people love her voice. all else is unimportant.

    by the way christina does have show versatility. maybe not as much as you do but she hits a good high note (and i don’t mean screaming) and can go also go sultry as in ‘i love you porgy’.

  28. MRDIVABITCH May 30, 2012

    @IRENE46

    Yes yes, her fans have all their right to looooove her voice all they want, you can think she has the best voice in the world, etc etc etc. The problem is they don’t stop at that, they have put down other singers FOR YEARS while trying to exalt Christina. Why do you think there was such viciousness towards Christina in 2010 from Beyonce/Britney/Gaga fans?

    And yes, we live in free countries (at least I do) and we have freedom of speech, so we can say Christina is the best singer in the world, hell, we can even say she is 50 feet tall if we want…but sooner or later someone will pull out a measuring tape or a pitch-pipe, that’s all 🙂

    As I said, I keep hoping there will be genuine improvement in her voice because 30 years old is too damn young to suffer vocal decline, but her stans and enablers would have her straining her voice to filth if it was up to them as they don’t know any better.

  29. Too many deranged haters. Why hate Christina Aguilera, of all people??? May 30, 2012

    MR DIVABITCH is nothing but a foking embarrassing wannabe.

    Why is he here talking about his stupid voice which nobody here will ever hear and talking about his instruments and talking about how he doesn’t like Xtina’s voice OF ALL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Anyway, the Earth continues to turn. Xtina continues to be an epic singer. The wannabes and haters will continue to stay stressed and distressed over this.

  30. Misterpibb May 31, 2012

    I love Xtina and dying for her new album, however I think she needs to stay far away from Britney and Madonna Producers… they seem kind of shady anyway and I would not be surprised if they deliberately gave her mediocre/s***** tracks to undermine her talent and further shadow her behind Britney and Madonna. I feel strongly that the industry/producers and media work hand and hand and clearly they have they’re favorites. As all Xtina fans know by now, Xtina is not a darling or favorite of the media, those titles go to Britney, Madonna and Gaga unfortunately. I hope Xtina takes the reigns and does her own thing like Bionic, an amazing album, and turns up the notch times 10….. Guns N Roses November Rain ballad(s) will catapult her back to the Number One spot even with Britney/Xfactor media frenzy….

  31. MRDIVABITCH May 31, 2012

    @Small_Angel

    It must really hurt stanning for some chick who can’t sing the high notes in her own songs live, and if she attempts them all she brays like a constipated mule or goes flatter than a 4 day old can of soda 🙂

    And yes sweetie, you care 🙂 YOU brought up my singing in this post, not me 🙂
    Here sweetie, 5 octaves sung with agility, projection and perfect control
    http://snd.sc/JBA5Zx
    Call me when your fave can approximate even half of it without straining on the top notes, sounding like mush and fog on the low notes, or simply being totally off key 🙂

    • irene46 May 31, 2012

      on the other post (christina tackles prayer) you stated some aspects of singing are objective.

      but how do you explain the two completely opposing expert opinions of christina’s voice?

    • Small_Angel May 31, 2012

      Just like you personality.. Your Voice is ugly…

      • MRDIVABITCH June 1, 2012

        Yeah, X stand say the same about Beyonce, yet Beyonce can sing Christina to filth, and so can I 🙂

  32. irene46 May 31, 2012

    @ mrdivabitch…

    i went to the site to listen to your voice again. ballads and pop songs are definitely not your forte. those genres of music do absolutely nothing to display the greatest qualities of your voice. you can’t touch christina in that zone.

    your opera voice was beautiful (in my opinion…lol).

    stick with opera and leave the other genres to christina.

    • MRDIVABITCH June 1, 2012

      @IRENE46

      The point is that I can mutate my vocal qualities COMPLETELY for different genres of music, some may like it more, some may like it less, but I can change my voice completely from genre to genre, while others simply sing the same way over different beats and call it “versatility”.

      Anyway, the “vocal expert” you mentioned does mention that Christina screams, does he not? And actually Phillipe Jaroussky (one of my favorite sopranists, by the way) read Christina’s vocal flaws quite well.

      So yes, some aspects of singing are subjective such as beauty of tone and emotion, while other things such as intonation, rhythm, resonance, vocal freedom, breathe support, etc are not subjective as they can be quantified, and those are things Christina fails at.
      That’s why you can argue that in YOUR opinion you like her because (again, things I mentioned) her tone and the emotion with which she sings, but when it comes to TECHNICAL aspects of singing, her flaws are evident.

      • irene46 June 2, 2012

        what about the other party who gave christina a positive critique? why is it they don’t seem to have a problem with what you and phillipe define as flaws. are they not just as qualified to judge a singer’s voice?

        when christina sang ‘ i love you porgy’ she was not simply singing the identical way over a different beat. she received ovations during different parts of the song. she must have been doing something right.

        it doesn’t matter if you can change the quality of your voice if what you change it to doesn’t sound good.

        i’ve just gotta be honest, you have an operatic voice that sounds dull, flat and uninspiring when when you move from realm of music.

        i will admit christina does not have the ability to perform the voice acrobatics that you do with your crispness and clarity.

  34. MRDIVABITCH June 4, 2012

    @ IRENE46

    And what you consider sounding “good” is not what I consider sounding good…I think we can agree on that 🙂 I mean, you actually like Celine’s nasality, Leona’s tiny unsupported wobbly off pitch notes, and Christina’s constant straining/screaming and general off key moments.
    It’s like this…you might like the sound of a piano over the sound of a cello, and that’s fine, but what really counts if who plays the piano or the cello 🙂 so yes…Christina has a stradivarius in her throat, but it is played by an amateur, while I have a humbler instrument, made by an unknown artisan, but it is played Paganini. Of course, that doesn’t mean I have my own vocal flaws, but I am consciously working on improving them, I don’t just make a loud noise expect to get praised for it 🙂

    My theory as to why that voice teacher would not tell the truth about Christina’s vocal flaws is simple…he is making a living by training pop singers, he doesn’t want to get a nasty reputation with them. On the other hand, a vocal expert such as Dileesa Hunter has openly talked about Christina’s vocal flaws and called it “basically just screaming and coughing”.

    And why would Jaroussky say it like it is? Because he is one of opera’s top stars of today and he does not need to vow down to Christina or her stans, he is in a circle that depends on highly cultured people. That makes a huge difference.

      sorry, but i don’t believe the reason reason you gave for the voice teacher complimenting christina’s sound. too many others still feel she has a great voice and, as i said, she gets the ovations to prove it.

      barbra s. also sounds somewhat nasally at times but wonderful.

  35. Xtina Voicelera is the champion. The haters covet Christina’s career and voice. They are jealous 24/7. June 4, 2012

    Christina has her own style and will continue to scream amazingly in her own unique way.

    The haters will stay mad today, tomorrow and forever.

    No, you are mistaking mask-resonance for nasality
    You see, mask-resonance sounds like it’s buzzing around the sinuses and the hollow spaces in the skull, while nasality sounds “pinched” and thin.

    As I said, we differ in what we consider “sounding good”. As I said, I do have my own vocal flaws I’m very aware of, none of them related to my timbre as it is my innate natural sound, but I’m consciously working on improving them, without the arrogance and sense of entitlement of others who call themselves vocalists yet can’t even sustain a middle-upper belt without going flat.

    Anyway, another example of the double standard you would find in some voice teachers is Seth Riggs, the person Christina is or was supposedly taking voice lessons with. In march of 2011 he commented on one of his videos how some singers want to do all kinds of runs to show off when singing the American national anthem, and how it is extremely disrespectful. Later on that year when news came out Christina was taking voice lessons with him, some people called him out on how he is working with Christina now but said that thing about people doing runs like crazy and being disrespectful with the American national anthem. You know what he did? He first deleted their comments, and when the comments kept coming back, he deleted the video.

      well, i don’t really know anything about seth riggs except what was in the critique i posted.

      as you know christina’s voice gets praise from some and shade from others.

      she gets praise because even though her voice is untrained it has a great sound minus the growling (i hate that from most female singers) and so much yelling.

      i’ve said several times before, it’s gets by me why you continue to be so hard on an untrained singer with a great voice and constantly compare her to a trained vocalist.

      why do you hate on those for appreciating the inherent beauty in her voice and find the flaws (if they even recognize them) insignificant. they’re not hearing or listening for the same things you do.

      you spend time beating christina down for being over hyped as if there aren’t total non-talents (especially one) who get over the top undeserved media hype as if they’re still queen pop phenomenons.

      at least christina fans judge her on her present talent and not on simply a “sweet humble persona” and what she accomplished when she was a t*** princess.

    Most people who are casual listeners go only by the TIMBRE of someone and if they can “more or less” carry a tune, and nothing else. But being a real vocalist (and I use that word because she herself once said “I’m not a singer, I’m a vocalist, there’s a difference”) means the person has a superior level of technique and control than a regular singer/performer/entertainer. That is my point.

    And I only compare her to trained singers because her own stans for years have ragged on and on about how she is the best singer in the world and superior to everybody else. And the thing is they can say in their opinion she has the most beautiful voice and sings with the most emotion, perfectly fine, as those are subjective things. But when we start calling someone “the best vocalist in the world” I think there’s a criteria that needs to be met 🙂
    That’s all.

    And please, don’t act like I’m such a horrible crazy person attacking Christina, when you yourself said some nasty things about Britney (who I’m not a fan of) earlier in this thread. So, you see? it goes both ways.

  38. irene46 June 11, 2012

    yes, most do judge based on tone of voice and whether one can carry a tune. tone is very important because it is something that i don’t think can really be taught (can it?…i’m not an expert).

    i christina is a vocalist like an expensive violin that may be a slightly out of tune. it’s still an expensive violin. compared to most female pop singers she is a vocalist which means to me (again, not an expert) can sing outside of a studio without auto tune and other voice enhancers.

    one female who i think has vocalist potential is rihanna (stop laughing). i think (like christina) she has a pleasing distinctive sound to her voice that with work could be great.

    i say terrible things about britney in most threads because she’s the personification of delusional over hype not only by fans but the media that a*** in perpetuating a myth.
