In what could possibly be a make or break moment in her career, Christina Aguilera is reportedly scheduled to open the 2011 Grammy Awards. The former chart-topper will supposedly team up with fellow vocal powerhouse Jennifer Hudson and 3 other artists at the February 13th event to pay tribute to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
The stakes for this performance could not be any higher. Franklin is one of the most renowned artists of our time so there is not doubt that all eyes will be fixed on that segment.
Regardless of the current condition of her voice and the scathing backlash that she received for her performance at the Super Bowl, Aguilera would still be taking a huge risk by attempting to cover Franklin’s music. In fact, very few singers ever dare to tackle Franklin’s records because of incredible complexity of her arrangements.
If Aguilera thinks that she can get away with screaming her way through the performance like she did with her James Brown tribute in 2007 then she is sorely mistaken. She needs to be careful because this could be all that is needed for the general public to turn their backs on her for good.

GON SLAY
LEGEND GONNA SLAY, I CANT WAIT
THAT GIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ON SECOND THOUGHT MAYBE WE SHOULD GET MARIAH TO DO IT, SHE CAN STAND THERE AND MIME, AS SHE HAS BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS…
TRENT MAD THAT MARIAH WASNT ASKED AND GODTINA WAS LMFAO ???
SHOWS WHO THE GRAMMYS THINK IS RELEVANT AND WHO THEY DONT….
POOR MOORIAH
:O I think Leona Lewis is one of them as well. She’s been tweeting that she’s going (and that she’s getting several outfits made) but I’m not 100% sure.
or simply ask Fantasia
lmfao did anyone else see that lady ripping up bionic this blog is too much lmfaoooooooooo
I hope she takes good care of her voice b/c bad vocal Care could lead to permanent damage like Nodes or not being able to sing at all. I love ms christina so i hope she does well.
TRENT SOUNDS MAD, IS IT BECAUSE
E=MC2 FLOPPED
MEMOIRS – FLOPPED
AND HER HOLIDAY ALBUM FAILED TO EVEN BE ADDED TO PLAYLISTS LET ALONE SELL 🙁
LMAO!!!! Trent u too wrong for that gif LMAO!! U got me in tears that gif is too funny! That was a Great album though.
TRENT I NORMALLY LIKE YOUR POSTS BUT IM REALISING THAT YOU COME ACROSS VERY BITTER AND CATTY – THESE ARE VERY HARSH BITCHY OPINIONS YOU HAVE THAT ARE BASED ON NOTHING MORE THAN SPECULATION.
I’M NOT EVEN A FAN OF XTINAS BUT I DON’T LIKE SEEING PEOPLE GET DOWNTRODDEN UPON FOR NO GOOD REASON – LIFES TOO SHORT FOR WARS – IT’S ALMOST LIKEA FORM OF BULLYING – VERY UNCOOL
Wow @ the lady tearing Xtina to shreds! That is too funny! I’m not sure about this one. It’s the perfect set up for disaster. I am nervous for Chrissy, but I think if she’s apart of the show then she will come prepared.
*NEW* Check out my blog: Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com (where there’s a place for EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING has it’s place).
All that screaming in James Brown’s tribute was because he used to the same. It is regarded as one of the most spectacular performances of all time. Their opinion > yours.
Although, she was bashed for flubbing one line of the anthem, she was praised for her vocals. If anyone’s going to do an Aretha Franklin tribute, it should be Xtina or Beyonce.
LOOOOOOOL @ The Lady ripping up da Bionic album!!!!! Nahhh thats deep!!! XD ThatGrapeJuice is too much at times I swear.
Anywho…..Christina will do good well for the Grammys! #Trust
Aguilera & Hudson singing together? Loudness much? 😛
Looking forward to knowing who are the other 3 singers. Trent’s right, not many people have dared to sing Aretha’s songs; you don’t want to mess with the queen!
As for Aguilera’s performance in 2007 I still think she could have held back a bit, seriously.
I’ll be watching this performance for sure. Seems it’s going to be quite interesting!!
@Mike: whether it’s true or not I think she’s a good choice.
GOOD TO KNOW, ILL START WATCHING 10 MINTUES IN.
@HATERS
IF YOU DONT LIKE IT ..F*** YOU
CHRISTINA IS THE TRUTH 🙂
her “SCATHING BACKLASH”?…her “huge risk by attempting to cover”?..#.grapejuicesux GIVUSABREAK already!!
Who else is supposed to cover Aretha? Ciara?…Keyshia?..EXACTLY!!
Hail xtina !!
and hush #GRAPEJUICESUX!!
IS IT THAT PEOPLE ARE MAD THAT XTINAS MANS WORLD PERFORMANCE IN 2007 WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, AND MARIAH NEVER HAS ?
POOR TRENT, HE IS TRYIN HIS BEST….
🙁 poor thang, must be tough stanning for mariah, especially with her current vocal condition = she cant even hit an eb6 whistle live anymore without backing and heavy breathing….
LMAO @ that gif
I would love to know why the grammys are nominating people and then don’t give them a chance to perform like how it use to be. What the hell did these two get nominated for?
Glad shes singing, though hopefully she’ll not scream as much as she usually does when she sings
That gif!!! I actually can’t.
Aretha Franklin has been honored already and is still alive. Why is she being given a tribute?
She always do good at award shows so she should be alright.
LMAO at the GIF. I remember that episode of Wipe Swap. That lady scared the s*** out of me
@iamsam
they usually reserve tributes to the talented ppl 🙂
@iamsam
They’re not nominated, they’re going to pay tribute to Aretha singing a song -or more- during the event.
Christina AND Jennifer Hudson? Oh, Lord. Why must we suffer so? And there is a BIG difference in how James Brown and Christina sung. James “wailed”, he didn’t scream.
NO Ma’am, Return to sender…
SHE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let Beyonce, a REAL Singer open it & set an example for the LESSERS (Britney, Gags, StrainTina, Rihanna, Your Favs??).
ALL XTINA NEEDS IS VOCAL REST AND TO MAKE SURE SHE WARMS UP PROPERLY BEFORE SHE SINGS….

Scary. I hope Christina approaches with caution. Her performances have been messy, out of control & over sung these past two years.
Xtina always brings it at the grammys! Trent stay pressed. Too bad Xtina’s James Brown Tribute is in the list of top grammy performances ever! When Mariah gonna do it!! The grammys clearly dont like Mariah if they let Queendonna open instead of it.
Queen of Soul = Beyonce
Aretha = Church WALRUS
trent man enough is enough , you dont kick a person when ther already down
Her James Brown tribute was excellent in my opinion. James Brown screamed and hollered and so did she while giving one of her best performances of her career.
The Voice of = Beyonce
The Noise of= STRANGLE-Tina
#Thatisall
@ROB
TRENT IS TRINIDADIAN, HE’D KICK A PREGNANT WOMAN IN THE STOMACH FOR THE CHANCE TO SUCK ON MARIAHS TOES 🙁
That GIF is straight dirty.
Even if this was true, how many tributes is Aretha F. gonna get? Okay…we get it. The woman is one of the greatest. They don’t have to keep kissing her ass. Sheesh.
Christina needs to go on vocal rest, and take some lessons on her jacked up technique.
She’s not ready to get back out there, and sing.
And the JB performance was GREAT. Are you people kidding me? James Brown used to scream, and holler in his songs and Christina couldn’t have been a better choice.
It even went down in grammy history as one of the best performances, but she has yet to top that performance.
@NICHOLE
AN AVRIL LAVIGNE STAN COMING FOR XTINA ?
#DEADANDBURIEDD
@ Holy Dame Godtina or what the eff ever….I’m not even an Avril supporter, I just absolutely love that pic of her. It’s stunning.
LMFAO!! J-HUD is gonna slay FUNKTINA On that stage!
NOTICE HOW THE RUMORS ARE FOR JENNIFER AND XTINA TO SING TOGETHER IN TRIBUTE FOR ARETHA AND TRENT MAKES THE ENTIRE POST ABOUT XTINA ?
#PRESSED
@S*** You just love to do the most. Bey stans like u are the reason why many ppl cant stand Beyonce. We all know that high yellow b**** can sing give it a damn rest!
That performance was good minus the scream hahaha but I hope she does a good job.
OMG Trent you are such a f****** hater and a bully kicking someone when there down, makes you feel better about yourself does it? Leave her alone, yes she made a mistake on the national anthem, shes said sorry and never meant to offend anyone now get over it. Why hate someone you dont even know? she doesnt even know you exist darling that what makes me laugh. All those things you keep bringing up is so unnecessary and just plain nasty and bitchy, and BTW that woman is not ripping up Bionic it was a sad Gaga fan that edited it to look that way. If her performance of its a mans world is so bad why is it in the rock and roll hall of fame and considered one of the best grammys performance in history? just jealous because Kelly’s not there. She does not “oversing” or “scream” its called belting out you idiot. If you dont like her or her singing dont report on her then simple
I would of thought it would be great if fantasia perform since shes 3 grammy nods jst sayn
@Jeremydante
You must have not seen that Lift Me Up performance from the Hope for Haiti program.
@HOLY DAME GODTINA THE QUEEN
f****** preach.
I’ve never seen a lamb so pressed.
Lmfaoooooooo @ that gilf Lmaoooooo I can’t #thatgrapejuice smh
I WISH XTINA SHOULD JUST TAKE A SHORT BREAK LIKE HAVING A MELT DOWN OR SOMETHING THEN COME OUT EVEN HARDER. HEY IT WORKED OUT FOR BRIT SO WHY NOT……..???????LOL!
ALL THE BEST OT HER THOUGH!!!!!!!!
Beyonce’ has little to no soul. That why she wasn’t an option, here goes S*** with his/her absurd post. No one is checking for her for the tribute but you. To the Holy person E=m2 sold almost 1.5 million units in the states, garnered a number 1 single, and top 20 single. That is not a flop. Lets not act stupid. Even Memoirs went gold and scored a top 7 hit on the Hot100, implus her Christmas album went gold. You sound foolish. Bionic was a great album, but it didn’t sale over 300k. Do not embarrass yourself. Mariah has nothing to do with this. Her music has been a success even when certain albums didn’t sale as well as others, each of her albums were all certified. Also, Mariah has been giving some amazing performance as of late.
She’s been there and done that with Aretha already. Know your facts. I’m sure she would have been asked if she didn’t have the preg. to deal with at the moment.
Christina sung the national anthem very well. People just wanted a reason to hate. It’s not that big a deal.
It’s cute that Trent used that gif when he gave Bionic a 4/5 *shrugs*
@ILOVEXTINA YASS! TRENT IS SUCH A BIPOLAR QUEEN
I dont understand why these ppl feel the need to worry about queentina’s vocals when their faves cant even sing old mcdonald in tune!!
I am NO Christina fan, but Trent you need to get a hold of yourself. You can’t keep trashing on these artists all the time, it’s disgusting. You absolutely cheapen this site,
@ Nichole:
For once, I agree with you. Christina’s “screaming” was justified in the James Brown tribute to his performance, because that was his style of singing as well. Now if she were covering a song by a singer with a much more subtle and controlled vocal style, then yeah that would have been completely unnecessary.
And I do also agree that she needs to go into temporary hiding and work on her voice.
THAT being said though, people should try not getting too hung up on technique, good singing/musicianship is also about being able to channel emotion, which IMO is just as important as technique.
Imagine if Trent and Sam were experts on guitar playing instead of vocals. They would criticize every guitarist who doesn’t shred.
* Gotta correct myself a bit: they would criticize every non-metal guitarist who doesn’t shred. It’s normally heavy metal music that demands a high technical level of guitar playing.
I’m happy for Christina, she BETTER nail it.
I think Beyonce will be one of those other artists not named!!
I mean, would she actually miss the Grammys?
Plus She’s nominated so it’s definantly a possibility, not to mention Beyonce’s heavily influenced by Aretha & has paid tribute to her before & NAILED it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMMR39l_RXY
It’s definantly one of her best performances ever, vocally.
S*** that whole concert is.
Sorry for having a stan moment. Lol
Aww s***, I thought I read Anita Baker.
LMFAO @ that damn gif.
Evil! Gargoyles! DARK SIDED!!

@THEMAN
Will you just ignore that FAKE BEYONCE STAN by the name of S***!
I have nothing against Christinina but that Gif is just too funny! LMAO!
who the f*** is trent …..some loser with a computer that is mad that even with a flop album christina still gets invited and performs at major events and shows……..and has stayed in your minds all year without actually having a big album out ……….christina equals lengend and back in the day all most singers screamed and yelled and if she can yell/sing in pitch then she even more amzing for a white gurl …..tina,aretha,and patti all did it but when christina does its horrible …b**** please …..u always quick to say someone cant sing but when they can and are amazing and the singers of our generation(aka christina) they scream and yell too much ….yet you love lip syncing mariah,dancing ciara,boring ass kelly, and just overall crappy boring artist….n**** sit down
christina>>>>>>>>>>>>>>fantasia>>>>>>jennifer>>>>>>>>>beyonce>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>adele>>>>>>mariah —————just what i think
All you SCREAMTINA Fans Need to shut the F.ck Up….Trent Is not a hater he’s just talking for all of us who’s ears were assaulted by all of xtinas Screaming and growling. You stans need to stop being in Denial and admit that xtinas sing technique is a horrid mess. Stop mentioning Mariah her success speaks for itself every celebrity and critic has praised her Voice and technique. Seriously!!!! Mariah Has Already Paid Tribute to Aretha at Divas Live 1998 she sang with Aretha on stage. FLOPTINA Screamed her way through one of the worst national anthem performances of all time and you STANS have the nerve to even mention Mariah…SMH…..STAYPRESSED Stans because SCREAMTINA Could Never Ever even Compare To The Queen Of Singing Mariah!!!!!!
Gold = X-tina
S*** = Thiefionce
#FACT!
“It’s cute that Trent used that gif when he gave Bionic a 4/5 *shrugs*”
Meow…aint that the truth
OH LAWD……LOL! 🙂
No, she should do well. I am gonna need her to learn the words to Sistah ReeRee songs though!

http://i54.tinypic.com/30rpg8k.jpg
Oh I can predict what will happen…
She will start the song by screaming her head off, her runs will be extremely off pitch but her tone deaf stans won’t be able to notice, she will strain and bark her way through the song because her true range is less than 1 octave and she can’t sing without sounding like she is struggling for her life. People will clap because they feel sorry for how ridiculous and stupid she is, and of course her core audience…a bunch of tone deaf queeny gays and trannies with the worst taste…will enjoy it.
Lmaooooo this gif is giving me life I f****** l f****** love it lmaooooo, this is to funny Trent threw hella shade. But anywayz Christina just to give you a heads up, J.HUD & Fantasia is performing along side I think it best if you just #sitthatassdown they going rip that tags and you better suspect a whole lot of hollering/screaming/jumping and tears, somehow you could never capture from a audience #noshade, unlike Beyonce cuz we shut evey b**** down on that stage, see Hurricane Bey can hit high notes without screaming and checking time on her watch and yawn and still keep the note high, they ain’t ready Bey yet but anwayz I will be watching #beyondslayed2011 #hurricaneBey #RoundIV
CHRISTINA’S S*** ASS VOCALS EXPOSED FOR THE GARBAGE THEY ARE! B**** IS A TONE DEAF HO’ WHO HAS TO SCREAM COZ SHE CAN’T SING THE F****** NOTES LIKE A GODDAMN HUMAN BEING!!
THE B****’S S*** VOICE DISSECTED TO THE NOTHING IT REALLY IS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0LFpdsmQNk
THE B**** COMPARED TO REAL SINGERS WHO CAN SANG INSTEAD OF YELLING THEIR HEADS OFF LIKE A MAD COW IN HEAT

http://i54.tinypic.com/30rpg8k.jpg
i don’t really think this is a great idea
BEYONCE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE HONORING ARETHA…AND I AM NOT A STAN!!
HONESTLY, I HOPE SHE REDEEMS HERSELF. BUT THE ONLY WAY SHE’LL D THAT IS BY ACCEPTING HER LIMITS. B****, YOU AIN’T 20 YEARS OLD ANY MORE, YOUR VOCALS ARE NOT IN THE SAME FIT! RELAX A BIT AND LET IT GO!
Why not ask Melanie Fiona? She is the only one that has Franklin’s voice. Truth…
This could be her shot. All she needs is some rest and work on her vocals, and she can redeem herself. Im rooting for you Christina!
Why are we wasting our time on her, no more pity for her, enough!
Are you serious? Christina and Jennifer Hudson singing together? OMG, that is a big NO, NO! Both of them have big, powerful vocals. I would say that Jennifer is definitely the better vocalist but Chriscream has the better and more distinctive tone. I hope this is not true because it would sound a hot flipping mess! Chriscreama needs to give it up already! Why is she still trying? Obviously, not many people care about her washed up ass because Bionic flopped so damn hard! They should have Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey (who sings better than Aretha), and Whitney Houston! Now that would be a big ass moment! Maybe even Leona Lewis, who has professionally, effortless, trained vocals. Anybody but Miss Screams A lot! That James Brown tribute she did was awful!
She will just scream and strain and bark off key like she always does
A mess.
oh s*** 😐
Good luck! Hopefully she redeems herself.
You know what Trent , I hope someone punches you in the face like Perez Hilton did for talking all that crap about Fergie. Hate on Christina all you want, but remember she has accomplish and establish herself into a future legend. You on the other hand is just a blogger who tries to out do Perez Hilton. At least piggy Perez is making bank.
DUDE ..ARE U SERIOUS???CHRISTINA OWNED THAT PERFORMANCE AT THE GRAMMYS..SHE GOT A WELL DESERVED STANDING O…THE SCREAMING NOTES THAT SHE DID HIT WAS BECAUSE OF HOW JAMES BROWN USED TO PERFORM THE SONG….I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE…LETS BE REAL CHRISTINA CAN SING..YES SHE “OVERSINGS” AT TIMES..BUT I WILL TAKE THAT ANYDAY OVER LIPSYNCING!!! IM HOPING THEY KNOCK THIS OUT OF THE PARK,CAUSE THIS IS ARETHA WE ARE TALKING ABOUT —SHES THE QUEEN AND WILL LET U KN OW WHEN ITS NOT RIIGHT!! LOL
Christina is great
I’m looking forward to this….far more than i’ll ever look forward to another dead-on-arrival album from Mariah.
Yes, the grammys loved her renditon of james brown’s song (like A LOT of people)
Xtina gonna slaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Can’t wait to see this performance. WHO CARES ABOUT THE OPINION OF THATGRAPEJUICE?
The Grammys’s opinion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> thatwackjuice
Oh and thank god Thiefyonce is not there!!!!
We’re talking about soul singing, you can’t sing aretha’s songs with an AVERAGE pop voice.
XTINA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BEYAKI
And i will repeat it once again….a lot of people on thatgrapejuice HATE on Xtina because she’s WHITE and can sing better than a lot of black people. SAD. SMH.
And Xtina was listening soul music when she was only 4 years old (Etta James for example) on her own and even at 14 years old, she was singing “Another sad love song” by toni braxton so she knows A LOT about blues,soul, r&b. And of course she can sing that. Don’t you heard Loving me 4 me on Stripped album or S** for breakfast on Bionic? Y’all are just a bunch of ignorants. They praise beyaki (a trained wack voice with zero soul) and hate on real, pure raw talent like Xtina. SMH.
Xtina singing Break It To Me Gently (A song ARETHA sung) at only 9 Years old
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mucj7hHJ_uQ&feature=related
F*** ALL THE HATERS, YOU ARE WRONG.
Its amazing I am listening to everybody and its about who can outsing who, that is not what it is about well I hope the people on the tribute realise that. Its about honouring the woman Aretha and her sound.
It is not about Christina and Jennifer and their fans who are going crazy on this board. Lets hope the ladies on the night realise that as well
Naw Trent you’re just hating now… Screamtina actually nailed that James Brown tribute.
You can’t deny her passion and gusto on that one…
LMAO @ you idiot Failtina stans saying she screamed off pitch like a mad cow in heat because that’s how James Brown sang, have you actually listened to the original of James Brown? Obviously not, well, here it is for you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af-3Q0L5cMw
Now tell me where in here he does that awful flat scream she did in her tribute, or where does he scream till his throat is raw at all? Nowhere…Christina simply did it because she is an idiot and screaming off pitch is the only way she knows how to “sing”, and of course her fans have the worst taste in the world, and most likely are tone deaf since they were unable to notice how off key she was at the Superbowl.
@Hudson Morrigan
Stop reaching….you’re just a hater. You ain’t s***. Fall Back!
Yaaaas XTINA will slay this. Trent Aretha Franklin songs are not hard to chile shut up. LOL Keri Hilson sang Aretha Franklin’s Think @ VH1 diivas and she did suprisingly well with the song.
WHY IS EVERYONE MAD
Christna is an AMAZING singer your fav could never (well only jennifer hudson is close) but after her nobody can touch “The voice”
How can a white girl have more soul then beyonce I’m sorry I got to give credit when it is due people say christina screams but dammmme that b**** knows how to scream because when ever She performs I get goosbumps that is how powerfull her voice is she has so much sould an dpasion it amazes me she just needs to turn down th evolume alittle sometime sbut it kinda works for her it’s her signature
i cant wait to see her perform
LMAO oh yes Christina is such an amazing singer! Amazing voice! Best voice ever that can’t sing the high notes or the low notes or the RIGHT NOTES. You tone deaf stans need to take a seat already…your ignorance, stupidity and bad taste is showing.
When the b**** can sustain a simple C#5 with healthy vibrato and with ease without sounding like she is getting her c*** ripped off MAYBE she will be able to go against Beyonce, but until then she is far below Beyonce (and I ain’t even a fan of her) and much less Whitney or Mariah in their prime. The b**** simply can’t! all she can do is scream like a b**** in heat, like she has a 2 week old constipation! LMAO.
We all know she gunna SUCK. She lost hur voice amnywayzz nextz
~~
Support Ms Kelly
2011 = MAKE BELIEVE
There is no way in hell that I could watch J. Hud AND Christina singing at the same time. Too much screaming and grunting for me. No thanks, mute will be my best friend.
@The Man is always on Beyonce’s case with some bull about her voice which clearly shows how much he DOESN’T know about vocal ability. Smh.
@ AmazingLee
Do you know the words “EMOTION” “PASSION “SOUL” instead of vocal ability and technique?
@ ffffffffffffff
When it comes to singing…Passion (singing raw on emotion) with intellect (without control, technique, musicianship) is absolutely no good…it doesn’t make you a great artist but simply a wild trembling animal.
Really, no matter how passionate or emotional the singing might be, if it’s off pitch and it sounds like the singer is struggling for their lives…who would put up with it except people with terrible music taste?
And by the way, soul singing is MUSIC based not EMOTION based, there’s such thing as soul singing because it is a style of MUSIC based on the chord progressions, the rhythm pattern, the vocal improvisation on the blues scale, etc
@ Hudson S***
YES, Xtina won TWO times best pop vocal performance at the grammys and she sings OFF key you tell us? Damn, the whole commitee is tone deaf so.
You deserve a good: GURL, BYE !
DEAD Christina thinks she can sing Aretha now?
Those high notes will kill her!!
@KO
No, the grammys wanted her. SImple as that. They respect her talent.
TRENT YOUR A JEALOUS LITTLE GIRL!!!! AND BITTER TOO!!!!! SAD!!!!
@ ffffffffffffff
Guess what, Taylor Swift has won almost as many Grammys as Christina in less time…
And Beyonce has more Grammys than Whitney and Barbra combined…I suppose that means Beyonce is a superior vocalist than Whitney and Barbra Streisand.
Your logic makes absolutely no sense AT ALL, awards are no assessments of vocal skill, and no matter how many people think Christina can sing, if she is off key SHE IS OFF KEY, and that can be measured, if your tone deaf ass can’t hear she is off key then that’s your problem, not my fault your parents are siblings.
And for the b****** who claim she sings in tune…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7riGplG19Ig
Oops, b**** can’t even sing her own songs without dodging all the high notes or cracking like an amateur or barking them off pitch, LMAO.
@FFFFFFF
Yes, darling. And those are all components of vocal ability. Had I said vocal pedagogy, that would imply solely the technical aspect whereas vocal ability involves emotion and technique. Keep trying, sweetcakes.
PREACH @HUDSON!!!!
These mentally challenged people have no vocal education.
And you don’t have enough life experience to feel the emotion in her singing. POW !
@ ~aMaZiNG.Lee~
Her stans are on a frenzy, on youtube they have threatened to kill me several times for exposing her vocal problems and saying that she is not the greatest as they claim her to be.

Although, she was bashed for flubbing one line of the anthem, she was praised for her vocals. If anyone’s going to do an Aretha Franklin tribute, it should be Xtina or Beyonce.
Basically.. Trent loves Christina, she loves you too Trent 🙂
@ Dave
When did James Brown strain and attempted whistle register notes and went flat? LMAO, you are so ignorant it’s not even funny anymore
WTF are you talking about? Do your research on music and you’ll find that Christina’s performance for James Brown was one of the best at the Grammys. Not only that, she sung how it was suppose to be, look at James Brown ..he too did “scream”. If anyone can tackle Whitney, Mariah, Patti LaBelle etc then it would be Christina. Just b/c she messed up the Anthem due to her being nervous (look at her rehearsal, she knew the words) does not mean she’s lacking vocally.
@ Hudson Morrigan: Christina can hit the “whistle register” and perfectly, look it up. That wasn’t her intent either, maybe you should consider listening to Jame’s Brown “I feel Good” again and tell me that his intent was to hit the “whistle register”. She’s not going around showing just one style in everything unlike someone else *cough* Mariah *cough*. She was simply trying to do it the way James Brown did..maybe you should consider looking it up again.
I guess trent, you must not do good research as a journalist….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67usCNLjrVQ
did you forget about the nina simone tribute she did at the grammys or how about her song she did with Tony Benett!!! Or how about her performance at the grammys singing “A Song For You”… how about you do your research and know she always delivers!! STOP HATING!! ITS NOT CUTE!!!
