Billed as the headliner of last night’s ‘Michael Jackson Forever’ tribute show, Christina Aguilera instead caught headlines for her ill-fitting ensemble (which saw her look more Adele than herself).
Still, being the fair and unbias site we are, our focus lay on the music. How did Christina fair with her performances of ‘Dirty Diana’ and ‘Smile’? See (and hear for yourself) after the jump…
Dirty Diana
Smile
A generally solid vocal showing.
However, it was somewhat disheartening to still hear the ever-present stressing and straining in her technique. Let’s hope reports of her enlisting prove both true and fruitful – as parts of this (as superior as it was to other performances) still had me wincing).
On a more serious note, and I say this with immense delicacy, it’s quite clear Ms. Aguilera needs to shed a few pounds. By no means do we mean this in a superficial sense. However, there’s no point ignoring the elephant in the room (no pun intended); her performance ability (something almost as renown as her voice) has been lacking ever since she emerged with her more “rounded” shape. Indeed, post ‘Bionic’ flopping, the divorce, and the ‘Burlesque’ era, she’s been noticeably less agile. Whatever the issue, here’s hoping she tends to it before the release of her next studio album.
In any case, decent tribute.
She completely slayed!!She made a few mistakes on ‘Smile’, but the overall performance was PURE MAGIC!!I’ll wait for an HQ of ‘DD’, though 😉
I love me some xtina, but she needs to lose weight and do something with that hair. She killed her performances though. 🙂
Ok now, let’s cut to the chase
1)The performances are posted right now yet it’s the second post on the front page 😯
2)The shade is inaccurate and desperate.Adele would never wear her DD outfit and Christina’s legs and waist looked thinner than in the MLJ video or on ‘The Voice’.It’s just her face that looks fuller, but there is no reason to shade her for that.She’s working out and has already lost a few pounds.
3)The elephant joke (you aren’t fooling anybody with the “no pun intended” cr*p ) was very impolite.If Christina is fat, then who is just normal?Everyone has to be a size 0 then??Let her be.She’s losing her weight at the rate she pleases and she’s doing fine.
i knew i’d love her rendition of dirty diana and i was right!
she does however need to lose weight its very obvious in her case it mostly goes to her face. and maybe more flattering clothing and hair. i have a feeling she’s appearing like this on purpose though, hopefully she revamps b4 her next era kicks off
Unbiased?! Yeah, right.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Aggie! I’m so proud of my baby! It’s not her best performance, though, but DD IS hard to perform. She had a hard time singing that song. Ha, ha, ASAP is going HAM on anyone’s ass who attacks Aggie! LOL! The crowd was bananas! I was shivering and had goosebumps when she performed “Smile”. Both of the performances were decent, but “Smile” was better. I don’t think she should have performed “DD”, or she should have practiced more before she did. She started out well, but ended up screaming, and seemed out of breath. I know “DD” is a pretty loud song, but still.
“Still, being the fair and unbias site we are”- Ha! Whatever, Sam! Oh, and leave Aggie’s weight alone! I actually like this look :)!
The Voice of our Time SLAYED!!!!!
Especially loved SMILE. She is amazing!!!
Maybe Sam feels that if Aggie shed a few pounds, she’d be able to sing much better. Since she’s naturally skinny, he probably thinks that by gaining weight she lost her ability to belt out amazing notes. I’m not defending him, just saying. Cause after watching “DD”, I’ve started feeling that way.
Girl seriously needs a reality check. If you are packing too many extra pounds, chose your wardrobe carefully. You can’t dress a big body in outfits intended for a small body. That is just uncomfortable for every body ( pun intended).
<B**** lookin like a blonde snooki
Loved Christina. I knew she would kill Dirty Diana, and Smile was very good as well. I’m ready for her new album. Bionic is still my sh*t.
I watched it and she did a GOOD job !
I read that this site is unbiased and I would have to completely disagree!!!!! I mean it is clear this site lives for Beyonce and everything she does!!!! Not taking anything away from the girl because she did slay but it seems even if she took a s*** on stage she still would have had the best performance of the night. Christina is a performer that doesn’t need the glimmer and stage props and overly-choreographed dance numbers to become a legend. In that same token she also doesn’t need to shamelessly plug herself as an icon, or constantly say she wants to be iconic, she just is. I am also a little worried about her weight and we will just have to see how she handles it with the upcoming release of her new LP, I am so excited. Sidenote* I truly hope B is being careful with her dance routines not being too physical now that she is pregnant and it is true it seems to be no stopping her but at some point she will need to slow down and take care of herself. Her fans will be there.
THE VOICE OF THIS GENERATION GAVE LIFE!
Yesss she is looking like a blonde snooki she needs to LOOOSE This weight and stop eating all the pies in the changing rooms.
waiting on her up and coming album she better be 2 stones lighter by then.
*Sips M***** Juice*
She vocally strong and im not bothered by her weight gain.
She gotta find a balance in her voice but she’ll always be one of the great vocalist around.
X-tina is comfortable and a mama and she relaxed in her life so will only get harder for her to keep fit if she not enthused to do so.
As long as she sings great then the gain wont bother me.
Gotta watch dem outfits though.
Its not that she needs to lose the weight….she needs to dress appropriately. Youre not as skinny as you were in burlesque so she cand ress like that anymore!!
Christina does not need to lose weight and I’m glad she doesn’t feel pressured to lose it. She knows she’s a bit fuller and rather than go work it off she gets up on that stage wearing whatever she wants and she looks damn good and doesn’t give a f*** what people think or say about it and that’s why I love her. She’s got this “I have curves and I’m going to represent all the thick madames of the world”….personally I love the weight gain. It shows shes not insecure to fit in with everybody else.
Actually, I do agree that Christina needs to lose weight because it’s easier to belt and make vocal transitions when your body is healthy in general.I just think that she shouldn’t get so much shade because she already looks thinner than she did some months ago.And Christina is a very short girl, so even if she gains just 8 pounds, she will look notably fuller and more round.I think her weight loss will be a struggle because it’s not easy to lose pounds while you’re recording your own album.But she’s obviously trying to get thinner and fitter, so applause for that.She’s getting there…
But she needs more warm-up long before the performances to be on point throughout the song 😉 But she slayed ‘Smile’ nonetheless 🙂
WHITE GIRLS DO NOT LOOK GOOD WITH EXTRA WEIGHT!!!! EWWWWWW!!!
SHE SLAYED! THE END
SHE KILLED IT!!!!
Damn, so proud of her!
Dirty Diana was my favorite Michael Jackson song and thank God someone had the good sense to ask Christina to perform it. She has the smoky strong voice that’s just PERFECT for if. Ahhh that was beautiful. That’s all I came go see, whoo.
I have nothing against women with curves when they know how to compliment their body with the right clothes or haircut like Jennifer Hudson, she was also looking beautiful before her weight watcher training. But Xtina… no girl: wrong clothes, wrong make up, wrong hair I want to see the Christina from Back to Basis era or even Bionic era her energy on stage at that time was of the chain. She’s too damn of a good singer and performer to let her weight ruin it
Are you serious? Christina isnt even fat! She looks fine!
All you people make me sick!!! What’s wrong with her, what you want her to be bulimic?? Then all you guys are gonna say she needs to gain weight right?? SMH!!! She’s not fat or whatever you guys think, she’s not a teenager, she is a grown ass woman in her 30s!!! Everyone gains weight when they hit that age, its called metabolism, research that people. SMH!!! Is it about her music or her weight??? People get it together!!!
she did fantastic
she is my girl.the smile perf was my fav
LATINAS GIRLS RUN THE WORLD
@madonnalover THANK YOU….
SHES NOT FAT!!???…SHE DID AMAZING VOCALLY…WTF??
Whoever wrote this post….is an idiot…
Enjoyed the performamce, ….the b**** can sing, but she needs a trainer and a new make-up artist. She’s starting to look like a darg queen.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christina Aguilera is the f*cking best.
She knows, I know it, all the smart, educated people with good ears know it.
Christina could be 1 million pounds and have a wig the size of the Moon and have all the CoverGirl and Revlon makeup in the world on her face and have the biggest flop album in the entire history of albums : IT WOULDN’T F*CKING MATTER.
ONLY ONE THING MATTERS : THAT F*CKING EPIC, MAJESTIC, UNMATCHED, OUTSTANDING, PERFECT VOICE.
Period, point blank, bottom f*cking line.
Christina Aguilera WILL ALWAYS F*CKING WIN, BY DEFAULT.
This is why I’ve been a stan of Aguilera since 1998. She sh*ts on everybody in the fake-@ss music industry! She is truly the best. AND SHE DOES NOT NEED ANYBODY’S VALIDATION OR APPROVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awards? Number 1 songs in the charts? Number 1 albums? NO NEED FOR ANY OF THOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are just a bonus.
I think harsh comments about personal things just make a depression worse. She stil has the voice of the generation and she will bounce back 🙂 I liked the vocals
What a mess of a tribute for MJ. So tacky.
Looking more like Adele. Elephant.
You harsh, superficial *****. How much of a complex do you want to give curvier women? Christina looks beautiful, sang amazing and put on a great show. Like always.
If this is your idea of fat then God forbid what you think obese is. It’s refreshing to see someone in the spotlight as much as Christina have some meat on their bones and look stunning. She sets a great example that you don’t have to be stick thin to be considered beautiful. Your ‘article’ is a bag of s***.
The Christina Aguilera fans have wanted to hear Christina sing “Dirty Diana” for the longest time!!!!!!! Even when Michael was still alive.
It’s amazing how she finally sang that song!!! And she did it in such a bad@**, fantastic way too, better than anyone could have imagined!!!!!
I NEED TO LISTEN TO AGUILERA’S “SMILE” and “DIRTY DIANA” IN HIGH QUALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone please upload the HQ versions!!!!!!!!!
Christina is a way too f*cking bad@** and epic performer vocalist. The best, the best, the best.
Sam, you;re a c*** b****. and i dont even like xtincta but that shade is wrong
OMG BABE WENT IN ON THIS! SHE WENT HAM ON THIS S***! XTINA’S SLAYED.
CHILLS THE FIRST 30 SECS ON THE SONG. GET OVER THE WEIGHT ISSUE SAM.
IT’S OBVIOUS YOU GIVE EDGE TO BEYONCE EVEN DURING THE TIMES WHEN IT’S
NOT DUE. BUT THAT’S YOUR OPINION WHETHER IT’S WRONG OR RIGHT. XTINA
ACTUALLY DOES LOOK THINNER THAN SHE DID A MONTH OR TWO AGO. SO
I HONESTLY THINK SHE’S SHEDDIN. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO HER NEW ALBUM!
SO GLAD SHE DID THIS SONG. I THINK I’VE ONLY SEEN ONE BAD COMMENT ON
HERE. WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY FROM SOMEONE WHO IS SHAKEN BY THE FACT
THAT XTINA SLAYED THERE FAVE TOO.
Christina…definitely one of my favorite white artists. She has a KILLER voice..does she need to lose weight? of course she does..right now shes looking more like a weeble wobble, but im sure she knows that. And someone made a comment like she needs to lose weight because it’ll make her sing better? CORRECTION..some of the most powerful singers in the world are over weight..OPERA included.
@IRENE You’re right, but Christina’s voice needs to have NO more obstacles and weight is still a problem.It doesn’t matter that much, but since she obviously can lose it (6-7 pounds, no drastic diets and stuff), it would be great for her to be in general HEALTHIER.General health can affect all the aspects, including the voice 😉 And it’s not just about the voice.If she gets rid of a few pounds, she will be able to promote and work harder and easier and of course she will even be able to dance and look more comfortable on stage 😎
I thought Christina did an amazing job. I quite sure once a higher quality version is released it will be more enjoyable.
i think her vocal was very good on both songs. dirty diana needed the raspy edge to make the song. Great job christina.
OMG those thighs are disgusting. EW
I’m she getting chubby. And there is nothing wrong with being thick but her career is known as being smaller. So I’d hit the gym and put down the pizza bagels if I were her.
I find it funny that the same Xtincta fans who call Mariah fat are now denying how huge aguilera has gotten since her debut and making excuses for her. What a fat ass she has become and she screams to much in her performances. She would be such a better singer if she didn’t yell and strain all the time.
@ asap…
i agree that christina needs to keep her weight on it’s downward spiral. i really know how much weight henders her singing (think of all the fat lady opera singers…lol) but you’re right about slimming down helping her move much better.
you know i champion for christina, but i can’t understand why she chooses to look so trashy and tacky. even when she toured her costumes were a shoddy cheap mess!someone here suggested she’s doing it on purpose. why? suppose she thinks the better she looks the harder the haters will come for her? forget that, she needs to put an eye on the good quality of bey and, yes, britney’s concert getups (not saying copy the styles just he quality).
anyway, despite her look i thought both ‘dd ‘and ‘smile’ were over the top EPIC!
gaining and losing pounds work for some and not for others. Aguilera is an other. Her voice wasn’t as bad as I imagined.. but it wasn’t good either.
Great job. She is smaller any weight gain will be quite obvious, that coupled with the fact that she ain’t but so tall.

I liked the performance of ‘Dirty Diana’. Its true however that Christina is looking terrible. The weight gain is bad but wouldn’t be as noticeable if she was styled correctly.
@ tgj…
are you still trying to spread that totally false shade that christina’s ‘burlesque’ era was a trouble spot? the movie nearly doubled it’s production costs at the theater and pulled in even more millions when it went to dvd. also the ‘burlesque’ soundtrack (all christina songs except 2) has been on the bb chart since before the movie’s release in nov 2010. it’s hardly bad when a record stays on the chart for almost a year.
you don’t brand jlo as a failure even though her comeback album hasn’t really pushed big numbers and she’s had a number of huge flop movies. one of them being the biggest flop in movie history. she on a successful tv show but so is christina. i like jlo and she deserves shine. so fans sit. i’m just showing an obvious double standard here.
i admit bey is a dynamic performer but her shrill straining to reach high notes goes unmentioned. her voice even comes across as scratchy at times. you wanna talk about wincing, she’s sang several songs where i thought my ears would bleed. ava maria is just one example. even jennifer hudson comes off as straining at times, even though she’s a good singer.
it’s funny how small short comings of female artists are only big issues when the short comings are associated with christina. your christina hate is sooo obvious.
I loved to hear her singing! What a pure delight! I don’t understand this pressure on celebrities to be always skinny. Maybe she didn’t even choose that stage cloth. And for God’s sake she is not 17 anymore, she is 30. I think she is not like all the celebrities out there who have kids and starve themselves to look back skinny. And she looks just fine to me. IT doesn’t bother me: she is a singer, not a model.
I think the comments about her weight are so rude and uncalled for, she does not need to lose weight shes fine the way she is, just because shes not starving herself to be a skinny stick doesnt mean people need to bully her, woman’s body’s change when they have children and get older mine has certainly, she will not be the same size as she was 5 yrs ago and to be honest I dont think she wants to be either, she looks like a healthy size to me, its comments like “she needs to lose some pounds” “shes fat and overweight” that make young girls stick there fingers in there mouths and get eating disorders. The people on here are acting like shes really big to the point its affecting her health and if that was the case I would maybe understand the comments but shes about a size 12/14 max which is a healthy size so leave her alone. Anyway I think she was great with her performances, my friend went and said most people thought Christina was the best of the night.
Sorry Krylon.. but Bey’s voice is always in CONTROL. No out of breath vocals even during FULL choreo. Let’s keep “the best performer alive” out of this 😉 thanks
I think she intended to have this as a new image – like it or not.
Christina just doesnt look right with extra weight on her. She is really short and it makes her look bigger than what she really is.
So I was watching the VH1 Greatest Songs of the 00’s and Mariah Carey’s We Belong Together was number 9 and for some strange reason I got the urge to hear Christina Aguilera sing it .. Something tells me she would do the song justice. Damn I wish Mariah and Christina would duet 🙁

xadax i hope you’re soooo wrong!!!
LOL at all of you poor newbies talking about weight all day long.
WTF????????
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I simply cannot understand this.
Who gives a flying f*ck????????????? Why does it matter????????
Christina could be skinny again tomorrow, and what?????????
Can we talk about how amazing of a VOCALIST Christina is instead????
I mean you idiots talk about “fatness” as if it was some super rare thing that nobody else has… do you imbeciles walk down the street yelling and pointing at all the fat people you see????????? I mean WTF is the problem, you stupid STUPID people LOL……….
I seriously cannot believe it. People constantly worry about the wrong things.
Christina does not give a F*CK what you think about her wigs and makeup and overall look. She’s looked like this for years! She does not care if you like it or not! Stop crying, you stupid hater crybabies.
At the end of the day, Christina remains fantastically talented. Her discography remains versatile and amazing. Her videos and performances remain epic.
You people are stupid. You just can’t think for a few seconds. You’re all brainless clowns.
Christina sh*ts on you. Get used to it.
Unbelievable lol….
When Christina is skinny : the haters hate
When Christina is fat : the haters hate
When Christina has little makeup : the haters hate
When Christina has a lot of makeup : the haters hate
Here’s the reality of life : The haters are not really angry about Christina’s weight. In fact, they couldn’t care less about her weight.
The real reason why they hate Christina Aguilera is this : Because Christina Aguilera is the best vocalist worldwide, she makes great versatile pop music and it all makes the favorite artists of the haters sound like pure horse sh*t. Christina is a threat to everyone in the music industry, whether Christina is irrelevant and a flop or not.
THIS IS WHY THE HATERS REMAIN ANGRY AND JEALOUS.
Christina is the best.
Poor delusional, haters. They stay in denial.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will keep it basic :
1- IDc for the smile song , I wanted to see DD and I knew she will kill that one , she did , good job CHRISTY
2- that LION wig is not even cool
3- she need to get her ass on a f***** treadmill !! I know she is inspired by ADELE for her next project , but girl , I never knew that getting extra pounds is INCLUDED. don’t be ADELE’s part too. that won’t work for you , it is WORKS only for queen SLAYADELE.
4- her voice need some improvement. maybe losing her belly fat and face fat will help.
5- if you are getting extra pounds on , do not wear revealing outfits. !
I guess her weight gain is DIRECTLY a cause of what happened recently to her.
Anyway , aside from bitching about her weight , the b**** still has IT !!
Love Xtina! I think she represents the majority of the USA population when it comes to her weight. And she is not fat!
Wow people in here only look the negativity about her look INSTEAD hearing how she sang @ MJ’s Tribute (which are Great!). But I bet If she’s skinny & do awesome, you will find the s*** to talked about. bunch of negative people… SMH.

“Still, being the fair and unbias site we are, our focus lay on the music.”
REALLYYYYYY!!! UNBIAS?!?!?!
Wow you are so super delusional!!! LMFAO
That’s “Just Jared” you’re talking about Gurllll.
^So… a weight gain is a crime now huh?!??!
OMG I must puke my dinner now!!! my weight is scary 55kg! Damnn I’m FAT!!! Gahhhh NOOO!!! People will judge my body, everytime, every day!!! *over.reacted sarcasm*
A F****** MESS AS ALWAYS!
B**** LOOKS LIKE THE UGLY FAT TRANSVESTITE STRIPPER (THAT DOUBLES AS BOUNCER AND JANITOR) AT THE CHEAP TITY BAR BY THE AIRPORT!
Here’s the reality of life : The haters are not really angry about Christina’s weight or looks or wigs or makeup. In fact, they couldn’t care less about any of that sh*t.
The real reason why they hate Christina Aguilera is this : Because Christina Aguilera is the best vocalist worldwide, she makes great versatile pop music and it all makes the favorite artists of the haters sound like pure horse sh*t. Christina is a threat to everyone in the music industry, whether Christina is irrelevant and a flop or not.
THIS IS WHY THE HATERS REMAIN ANGRY, JEALOUS AND NERVOUS.
They wish Christina would retire from the music industry, but she won’t.
SLAYTINA SLAYS YOU ALL IN BEAUTY, TALENT, VOCALS AND MUSIC!
