Praises have come pouring in for ‘Genie In A Bottle’ beauty Christina Aguilera for her stirring performance of ‘Say Something’ with A Great Big World at last night’s American Music Awards.
The ballad had already enjoyed a ride atop Itunes charts following its debut, but it seems Aguilera’s emotional showing – amidst high octane performances from Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, and more – won over enough fans to give the tune a boost back to #1.
They weren’t the only act to benefit from the ratings winning show:
Via THR:
“Despite the increased competition [from American football], ABC’s airing of the American Music Awards surged from its 2012 outing. The three-hour kudos jumped 32 percent for a 4.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 36 percent to 12.9 million viewers. The show had a lead-in from America’s Funniest Home Videos (1.5 adults), up a tenth from last week, giving ABC an average 3.7 adults rating and 11.4 million viewers for its primetime block.”
*****
The ratings come as AMA’s highest in four years. And, with those boosted ratings came boosts on Itunes charts for the likes of Christina Aguilera & Co. (from #13-1) and Pitbull & Ke$ha’s new hit ‘Timber’ (to #3).
Other noted performers from the night like Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry did not see considerable gains. However, as always, the Billboard charts will have the final say when they refresh this week!

Stand out performance! Christina was so thrilling to watch, and the love she received from the crowd was heartfelt. Welcome back Christina! Keep it coming! Keep evolving. Give me that emotional soulful music I love from you.
Good for Christina i was so proud of her for getting her body right she looked amazing last night a complete 180 from how she looked at last years show.
Christina did amazing, she slayed that performance. My fav performances last night,
1. Rihanna
2. J.Lo
3. Katy Perry
4. Xtina
5. Fraudiana Grande
Well deserved Christina! The performance was breathtaking!
Good, she and Ariana were the only two great performances of the night. One Direction also did surprisingly well, and it shows on the iTunes Charts.
Kii at Gaga’s try-hard performance doing absolutely nothing for her.
Congratulations to her!
She looks gorgeous and I’m glad her music is on the up-swing again.
Gaga..who ????? 😀
love, love, love xtina’s voice…..true vocalist…
xtina was never fat, she was thick, because she is short, extra weight makes her seem heavy
hell even if she was fat, I would still support her voice, s***, who gives a f*** how somebody look as long as they have real talent….
I wish she would go back to the old xtina, her music use to be so versatile…..I’m glad she’s happy, I want that happiness on the next album
why are people so pressed on gaga, I mean really?
her album sold less than her last album, she’s not high on the charts, who gives a f***?
i swear the people who hates her the most gives the broad more shine than her own fans…
i mean there’s alot of people that I cannot stand, you dont see me on their post every single day 24/7 praying for their failure….
gaga will be alright, because underneath all the gimmicks, the bish actually has talent….so good luck on the hate
Bye at RatedX calling people pressed when it stays seething over Beyoncé for no reason.
Gaga is flopping beyond repair.
#RIPArtpop
ARTPOP IS THE WORST MISTAKE IN A POP HISTORY.
😆
I kinda wish Gaga would get out of that “need to shock mode”, and just write, perform and play quality music. She deserves credit for having actual musical talents; and for not needing to put out overproduced, auto-tune laden songs that were actually written by somebody else, ala Rihanna, Miley or Katy Perry.
Exactly! !
I’m getting annoyed writing my details every time I visit this site.
Congrats, I see a big comeback year for her next year.
2014 will be a great year for music
1. Christina Aguilera
2. Beyonce
3. Mariah Carey
4. Rihanna
5. Adele
6. Toni Braxton
7. Lady Gaga
Yes, Billboard should promote songs like this in the weekly chart. I’m tired of hearing pop bubble gum with no substitute…
Rihanna made me really proud last night aswell that Barbados b**** has really come along way. good for her.
So lorde dissed Nicki Lmao kiiii i live
@ratedx(love is beautiful) you’re such a hypocrite. It’s not even funny!
Yeah man
Last year’s show she looked anxious and uncomfortable (and yes the body was different too)
Christina did an amazing job, I love it when she’s controlled (just as much as I do when she’s slaying with fiery vocals). JLO and Ariana were awesome too!
HoneyChildPlease Twitter SAME AVATAR PIC!!!! That f****** h** she praises beyonce on twitter and shits on Rihanna.THEN comes here and acts like a Rihanna stan #ICANT https://twitter. com/mynameisnojuan
I’m sorry, did i miss something here??…i mean the performance was just ok…the song was slow and uneventful so what is all the hype about???
The best performances were Ariana, Xtina and J Lo.
How gracious of A Great Big World to let Xtina have 9 second solo… Xtina really was the only one people were focused in once she appeared on stage! Xtina did great, I love the song the boys are wonderful writers
well Christina is a good singer she deserves the success… it seems like when she does her collaborations they work…

Christina looked and sounded great. I so can appreciate her dropping the weight and returning to perfect form.
I also bought Gaga’s Do What You Want, but not to support her…more to support R. Kelly. That man is a musical genius and after all these years, his talent still stands.
Still I can’t believe the jlo’s performance, it was amazing! talyor, gaga, katy perra need to learn from the old stars (jlo-xtina) they are a true performers!
XTina, Ariana Grande, and J. Lo (OMG!)WERE the American Music Awards. The usual no-talents-Katy, Miley, Rihanna, Gaga-all fell on their faces as expected.
she`s the true icon not rihanna with her talentless ass,when u can do what christina did and get a standing ovation then u know u truly got it and is the real deal,jlo was incredible and ariana is truly amazing as well
