Firstly at the 2010 American Music Awards where she performed Express and more recently on Late Night With Conan O’Brien where she sang the jazzy, Something got a hold on me.Both Performances were a little sloppy and lacklustre, with her voice sounding darker and heavier than usual.However, there's no denying she still has amazing pipes.
Christina performs "Express" at the2010 American Music Awards:
Late Night With Conan O’Brien Show "Something Got a Hold On Me"
A 60's inspired ditty about Love getting a hold of a person. Another solid vocal performance, but please Christina we can do with less growling and grunting,it makes listening to you a little painful.
I think you were pretty fair. She can do better.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the song choice in the second video, I think she was right on. Blues music is much deeper then that light poppy crap the world is used to with Aguilera. Her focus has gone much deeper then it once was and her vocal style will reflect that. I'm not a fan of hers at all... so speaking from an unbiased stance, unless you understand how vocals, emotion, and genre collide? Maybe just respect the gift she has versus passing judgment on when she chooses to do new things with it you don't like.
ReplyDelete@anon, Not being a "fan" of hers i assume you did not hear her last album Bionic? It contains perhaps some of the most immature lyrics I've heard, so please don't come at me with claims about her becoming "deeper" all of a sudden. Plus just because she's now singing the "blues", a genre classification I don't agree with, does not automatically give her depth by virtue of singing in that style. Listen to the original Etta James version of "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and you'll see that this "depth" you speak of is just an imitation of Etta.
ReplyDeleteAs for "passing Judgement" on her I think you need to lighten up. She is indeed a great singer- I've even commented on her great performances for example here ("http://divadevotee.blogspot.com/2010/12/christina-aguilera-performs-lift-me-up.html)- and if she wants to sing with grunts and growls now then that is her prerogative but i stand by my comment of it being painful to listen to. I am actually a fan of Christina so surely my minor critique of her singing counts just as much as a positive comment from someone who doesn't even purchase her music?
But Thanks for your comment, It gives me a chance to tell people who come to the blog on this post that I am actually a fan of Ms Aguilera, just not certain vocal traits she employs.
I think she was heavy with the grunts and growls because she was attempting to be on par with the original singer of the song Etta James. Although between the two Christina's was less growled and strained if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is with the band. The tempo is all over the place! How can Christina be expected to sing if she's uncomfortable with the tempo?
ReplyDeleteJesus christ why can't she just sing the dam song !
