Christina Aguilera won in more ways than one on the season finale of The Voice.
Beyond seeing her act cruise to victory on the hit NBC show, the vocal wonder teamed up with fellow belter Ariana Grande for a dynamite collaboration.
Together, the pair tackled Grande’s ‘Dangerous Woman’ – the title track to her third studio album.
With many hailing Ari and the a graduate from the school of Xtina/Mariah, how did she fare? Find out below…
That was…underwhelming.
Primarily because it didn’t deliver the fireworks expected for a pairing of this magnitude.
Perhaps it was the mellow nature of the song or the fact that it felt underrehearsed, something just…lacked. The whole performance gave a “I’ve been promoting my album all week and am tired” tea.
On the upside, Xtina looked sensational. Bring on that new era already. She looks and, for the most part, sounds ready to roll.

UMM….
Please don’t shade Ariana, Sam. Christina flopped that performance, not Ari. And furthermore, Ariana has every right to be tired. She’s been working her b*** off.
Just stop. Xtina has sold millions more than Ariana, who doesn’t even have a platinum selling album yet. So just stop.
SMH, Ariana’s last album went platinum WW within 4 months, that’s if you are referring to WW sales anyway. Last two Xtina albums haven’t done that.
Please sit this one out. She’s been doing this all of 15 minutes. No excuses for this tap water performance She’s just tired, period.
Not tap water chile…lol
First timeI heard DangerousWoman always wondered what it wouldvesounded like had Christina Aguilera sung it nowI know
I had that thought with several songs on the album
Sam or TGJ needs to stop with this nonsense of this is the closest we’ll get to a Xtina n Mariah duet. There’s a REASON why Mimi won’t acknowledge theses ladies including collaboration with.
Yeah, it’s called jealous insecurity.
No its called imitation / copycat / clones. At least not Xtina to a full degree.
Jealous and insecure about what exactly? Neither Christina nor Ariana are well liked by the industry whereas Mariah has been praised by everyone from Aretha to Steve Wonder to Beyonce to Stevie Nicks to Harry Connick Jr for both artistry and general likeability. Mariah has sales receipts and album credits that Christina and Ariana couldn’t rack up on a penny slot machine. There are receipts of these girls calling Mariah THEIR inspiration, not the other way around. They’ve wanted Mariah to acknowledge them since Day 1 and maybe they would have gotten a nod if they didn’t have such sh*tty personalities and delusions of grandeur.
@lmfaohoe
Well if Mariah was a grown woman like she claims to have been then she should have gotten off her high horse and showed them both the ropes and educated them. But instead she just stuck her nose in the air. I can count on one hand how many times Mariah has worked with other female artist. But then again what do you expect from a woman who claims she’s “eternally 12”
No one is obligated to mentor ANYONE, especially girls who have nasty attitudes or blatantly copy the entire blueprint for your success (and still manage to be mediocre!?). The fact remains: the ONLY women Mariah has ever had beef with are confirmed trashboxes:
Ariana- single white female denied
Christina – drunk and out of control at Mariah’s party. got tossed out and salty ever since
JLo- stole musical concepts from Mariah
Kelly Price – confirmed bitter, nasty and pressed attitude
Madonna – shade exchanged in the 90s but since on good terms
Nicki- no explanation needed
Stay mad that she doesn’t acknowledge trash and continues nearly 25+ years later with unmatched accomplishments and commanding respect in the industry. #pow
@pon_De
There’s is all 7 parts for you to watch! And regardless of who they are from, Christina widely embraced by her peers across all mediums. Stop trying to make it seem like Christina hasn’t accomplished any or is some nasty witch.
@pon_De
What are you talking about? Christina widely praised through out the industry. There’s a video on YouTube dedicated to it here’s part 1 of 7
https://youtu.be/eYzXOWSN3Fs
The true CACKLE is your receipts are from the likes of D-list people like Jordin Sparks, NON-singers Carson Daly, Wendy Williams, her own co-star Adam Levine, and random Felicity LMAO??? The only people of note are Gaga and Yolanda Adams (but where was the praise from Yolanda exactly???) If this part 1 I can only imagine the bottom of the barrel in part 7.
Pull out those receipt on that ass!
Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Cher, Tony Bennett, Alicia Keys, Missy Elliot, Jamie Fox, Tank, Boys II Men, .and Pink (who had beef but recently admitted she’s a huge fan) and many many more. There’s plenty who hate Christina, but when it’s all said and done no one can deny she’s talented!

It was cute, but it wasn’t as epic as the Xtina/Gaga duet. Ariana’s voice just doesn’t have the power that Xtina’s voice has, she had to dumb it down just so Ariana can hang in there. Barely.
Why does Christina always have to oversing ugh
Christina has a lovely voice but goodness she ruins it by doing too much. Seems like someone should’ve told her by now. That’s why I miss Whitney. She didn’t overdo it
I just don’t think it the best song to duet on, it didn’t really give either of them a chance to ‘battle’ vocally per se.
Why is Christina keep singing other peoples song in a duet with them. They should be singing your songs with you! Reminds me of that stupid performance Trina did for Nicki Minaj to tribute her…uhh
I agree, I hated Trina doing a tribute to Nicki like WTF? But Ariana is promoting her album…Christina was just there to make up for the cancelled Whitney performance. She doesn’t have New music to sing.
I am a huge Xtina fance since Debutina era 1999. She looked amazing !! She sounded solid. I don’t know if this was the song to Duet on. Bravo ladies. Ariana held her own. I would love an official studio remix. This how it should be an older act working with a new jack. Bravo Xtina.
Ariana was shaky the entire performance and Xtina came in way to strong and low. They didn’t harmonize at all. I stan both but this performance wasn’t it. But they both looked good and it should be noted that this performance was last minute so neither really had time to rehearse.
I think the performance was a bit awkward because Xtina was trying to let Ari shine. Hell it is HER song. She was tryna hold back & let her get a piece. Both sounded good, not great. But none of that matters, this just signifies that Xtina is coming back for what is rightfully hers & I’m here for it !
Girl shut up and focus on Monica’s gargling/yodeling ass voice.
Ariana by herself is a good singer but i feel that she was ousting again. she was ousting by Jessie J and now on her own song
Xtina looks like lil kim here
lol
I think the reason why it felt underwhelming was because it wasn’t a true duet, Christina came in at the last minute of the song, so none of them really got a chance to find their footing together. I thought they were going to sing start finish together. And I do feel like Christina held back. However though the little bit that Christina sung solo was fire! Who knows maybe we’ll get a studio version of the two.
Christina was roaring like Katy perry and Ariana harmonies were off
It seemed like they threw this together
Christina sounded awful as usual and Ariana looked bored. I didnt realize just how weak Christina’s falsetto is until this performance.
Christina wants to work with QueenBey?!?!?!?!
https://youtu.be/a4XdK6c1oBE
All I heard was yelling
Mariah Carey collaborates with rappers or A singer that can hold there own against her force of nature… I.E Whitney, Boyz 2 men and a few others but I know she wants a Bey collabo for sure…
yeah i wouldnt say that shes jealous exactly she just has a standard. BUT i do feel like she may be threatened by Ariana. Should she be? no. but i think she is. everytime the media asks about ari she gives a generic politically correct response its never true support. idk.
Do you want her to gush over someone with mediocre talent???? The bar is sooooooo very low for this generation. Mariah comes from a generation where you earned praise from legends by showing legendary potential yourself.
In terms of singers, it’s better to think of it as Mariah collaborates with fellow musicians. These are people who know their voices, have originality and a true understanding of and respect for the foundations of musicianship: harmony, pitch, resonance, melody, etc. There is a difference between a singer and a VOCALIST, meaning one who uses their voice as an instrument.
ok so let me ask yall this:
who do yall think is the better vocalist between ari and Christina?
No Tea No Shade No Pink Lemonade but don’t think it was a bad performance. Her new album is more slow jams an mellow summer anthems. Be Alright is my fav. I think Christina should have come out in the first song, the dancers were annoying and styling was bad.
Thats what I thought. And in some spots Into You sounds like Your Body? Or am I just hearing things? Either way I think Christina could have pulled off both.
I LOVED IT XTINA MADE ME LIKE THE SONG MORE HER ENTRANCE AND TONE IS EVERYTHING! SHE HAD 1 DAY TO REHEARSE THIS IT WAS GREAT I’M READY FOR HER NEW ALBUM!
SO HAPPY SHE WAS THE FIRST FEMALE COACH TO WIN THE VOICE YASSSSS XTINA AND ALISAN SLAYED ALL SEASON WELL DESERVED!!!!
Well they clearly didn’t have a lot of time to rehearse, since Christina was supposed to originally sing with the Whitney hologram. Given that, I thought it was pretty solid. You can really hear Ariana’s vocal immaturity compared to Xtina on this duet. Definitely not as epic as Gaga and Xtina. But still solid.
I was initially excited about the performance but once it happened I was a little disappointed. They didn’t blend well together and there was no harmonizing. Christina’s voice is much too powerful for Ariana. They looked good…wish the would have had time to rehearse it first…I’ve seen worse. B-
I hate when Christina oversings, but I don’t think she did that here. I wanted to hear more from her even though I think the song fits Ariana better.
Closest Fatina will get to singing with Mariah. Doughnut licker brought it nd made sure she wouldn’t be up staged. , Fatty was roaring and growling all over the place. Sad, we see her with the hologram singing fine and with control. It’s like she had a voice, but wants to scream instead. WHY? ! Speaking of killed, remember this?

This pairing was not it Ariana got murdered on her own track and for Christina she was subdued but together they did not mesh well vocally. Maybe if they can rehearse more next time and the results might be different but a decent showing at best.
It’s ari song and it was very last minute with christina. Christina held back and let Arianna do her thing. She showed a lovely sing of maturity without acting insecure like mariah. Arianna is a huge fan of christina and mama x was showing her the love. Stop the fighting
Bwahahaha!!!!!!
Nice
