Christina Aguilera - Liberation

[LeBratt]

I think she did just fine. A little pitchy but it was emotional and not the trainwreck that people are trying to make it out to be. She was great with 'Run To You' especially.

I can't believe the "Christina FLOP!!!" Narrative is still going on. She gave us 'Your Body'. The world needs to move on.

This. Even though I have a big problem with Lotus as an album (what a wasted opportunity at just making a killer pop album with no fat), Your Body is a bop and her discography is really good.

Some of you saying JOJO or JHUD for the tribute... you’d think a top commercial show would hire 2 non-factors for such event? This isnt a local thingy just in case ya’ll forgot.

Not saying that they would've been likely options (unfortunately), but vocally they would have done a better job.

Her performance wasn't bad at all, I loved it. Someone wanted this to be her Gaga-at-the-Oscars moment. Maybe it's true that this wasn't that, but it definitely must have helped to remind people that she's an amazing singer and that she exists.

I love Ariana as much as the next gay but she wasn’t even born when The Bodyguard came out.

Oh lord a ariana tribute would of been a feast for the eyes but a travesty for the ears . I like her but people would of needed subtitles as she sings like she's chewing gum

a mess

I love Selena Gomez's Spotify bio.

I mean, I assume that's who you're referring to, since there's no one else you could reasonably criticise as such (or would want to after the last time you tried it...).

I can't stop thinking about this

It wasn't as bad as people were making out. Run To You was the best part. It just goes to show that Whitney was an incredible vocalist as I've not really seen many (if any) great renditions of The Bodyguard songs.

 

[The Art Installation]

I'm pretty sure she was handpicked by Whitney's estate and also because Whitney loved her. So no, no one else could have done it better. She was amazing.

I had no idea Whitney loved her. That can shut up some of the racist tweets that I've come across on Twitter about having Xtina as the choice.

Overall it was good, just emotionally it didn't click. I loved that she didn't do vocal acrobatics though.

She did good, but I would have prefered JHud to do this.

It has, that's the problem.

The performance wasn't by any means a disaster, but I would really have liked her to go out there and kill it, and I can't honestly say she did that either. And when you're covering Whitney, you either kill it or you don't bother at all.

Well we've already seen JHud do this so I have no interest in seeing her do it again. She did do it well but obviously not as good as Whitney.

 

[SupersonicBionic]

I can’t believe people are still gunning for her to fail like this. It was still a good performance, okay not her best but that’s only by Christina standards and a “good” performance by her still outstrips most others! Her voice is and was still fantastic.

All the false stuff with pink (even after she has come out fighting Xtinas corner AND it was obvious her facial expressions where her totally feeling the performance, she was mouthing along feck sake) the headlines I’ve seen are so obvs sensationalist it’s eye rolling to see.

 

[Staticboombox]

The shade Jessie j tried , then her producer jumping in , oh life at the bottom of the formerly bisexual pop scrapheap isn't a nice place to be

 

[Digital_Fossil]

Not as well, but much better...

Wait at JoJo’s “When Love Hurts” being a complete fucking bop. So sorry I slept on this!!!!

Oh? Have I timewarped? Is it 2013 again?



Those are some Obama-is-still-president vocals, girls.

 

[BloodShyBait]

Are people really coming for her after the tribute performance? They should pull out their finger out of their arses. She was amazing!

Seriously, though. I've actually seen articles saying it "divided the internet" and giving house space to tweets from a bunch of idiots trying to reignite a feud that ran its course 15 years ago and from which both women have publicly moved on.

It's like the Britney fans who still tear down Justin Timberlake every chance they get. These people don't need a public platform; they need professional help.

 

[BEST FICTION]

Well she’s #1 trending on YouTube in the US. Not bad for a tribute performance, right?
