Christina Aguilera celebrates the release of her new album ‘Lotus’, by performing a note-cackling rendition of ‘Make the World Move’.

The big voiced songstress teams up with fellow ‘Voice’ coach Cee Lo Green for the catchy number. It was the first time the pair performed the song on live television. Take a look at Aggy and Cee Lo Green sing ‘Make the World Move’ below.

Aggy sported a wild wig, and excessive outfit as she was accompanied by backing dancers on stage. It all looked very extravagant and award show worthy. Up until she started belting at the top of her lungs. Sadly, those high belts were pretty horrid and that last note was just ear damaging. All that vocal wear and tear came out in those belts tonight. Poor thang.

Was really great until she went for that high note. It wasn’t vocal wear. That was clearly her note being able to find the note…AT ALL. Listen because she eventually found it as she faded out. If her ass would’ve calmed her ass down, she could’ve easily found that note and smashed it. Besides that. I love that someone dressed her as the thick girl she’s become. Not fat. Thick. She looked sexy!
Fai

Eh well at least she looked like she had fun with it. Not her best but it only really fell off during that note.. Whatever .

Damn Chris…. Everything was hot up until that note! Her styling was hot for her new body type.. FINALLY.. But she just messed up that note.

@Mickey- Give it up. Poor technique has damaged this chicks voice something fierce. Her tone has adopted a gravelly texture she never had before, way beyond what would be expected from normal vocal maturing. Her awful technique meant she sang with a poorly placed larynx that was way too high up in her throat and the tension resulted in the caterwauling we were just subjected to. A true vocalist knows their voice, they work within their limits and and have a great balance of musicianship (listening to a musical piece and adapting your vocal style and tone to complement it) and technique ( breath control, correct positioning of mouth, tongue, larynx, balanced vibrato, placement, connected registers, supported and resonant belting) to put on a vocal masterclass.

Christina is no true vocalist. She is an enjoyable singer whose youthful body could endure the stress her technique placed upon it and allowed her to reach occasional moments of greatness.

She now has years of bad technique under her belt which have unfortunately also meant years of wear and tear.

Her musicianship is poor (does runs in an attempt to impress rather than listening to what the music requires and express) and her technique means a combo of flat, sharp, pitchy belting with the occasional “Huh!” and “Yeah!” to show you that at least this arrogant chicks feeling herself :\

Bring on Feb 2013.

I think we’re gonna see the King B become an Emperor

At Scoopz, as someone who studies music theory, I’ll say you have some great points, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say Christina isn’t a true vocalist. The girl has God-given talent, which once upon a time was superior to most (if not all) of her peers. Christina can definitely be a vocalist when she stays within her range, and understands her voice. Her problem is her lack of training, but I wouldn’t say a lack of training means she isn’t a vocalist. You can hear that the voice is there, but she needs proper instruction on how to make herself the best vocalist she can be, otherwise she needs to strip back her vocals and just sing the damn song without all the vocal acrobatic fails. I think once she figures out placement she’ll be ok. When I think of Christina I think 5 star voice, 3 star singer… I really wish her and Monica would get some training, their voices are too good for what I hear from them.

@NGB- Same as. Just finished this summer. It was been a tough year :\ lol.
As for being a vocalist, the number 1 thing to qualify as one is musicianship and Xtina is sorely lacking in that. Her live riffs and runs are nonsensical and dont complement a tracks arrangement AT ALL. They often come across as random showboating attempts, only thing is theyre technically basic, repetitive (does the same ones on virtually every performance)and completely lack imagination theyre just strung together rock n roll/soul staples shes heard and implemented.

Ive posted this before in another thread but this video really does highlight how devoid she is of musicianship and her complete lack of intelligence when it comes to implementation of runs in her performances – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzCtXjtk3p4

I think its too late for Xtinas now. Shes not developing for the better vocally, shes deteriorating and shes aging, if she was to go into intense vocal training for the next few years and simultaneously study the greats and expand what she listens to to gain inspiration and to develop some creativity by the time it all comes together consumers would long have lost interest.

Shes too arrogant for her level of skill and talent. When she was killin it 99 to 2003, Beyonce was a lead singer in a girl group finding herself , gaining confidence and maturing vocally. She always had the skill and the chops, she just needed to be thrown into the deep end and look where she is now, she slays these chicks and their whole family tree. Some may have more powerful voices, some may have more pleasant tones, but its the combo of skill, power, versatility and vocal creativity that make her a top tier vocalist.

Too many people are caught up on a title Xtinas marketing team and her old Disney buddy Justin T gave her. No way is she the voice of the generation. For one she’d have to be relevant, a great commercial force that her generation buys into and most importantly she would have skill that no one could credibly or objectively deny. That just aint Xtina :\

It couldve easily been her ear piece?… just saying…

@NBG AND SCOOPZ, Great points !!!!I agree with both sides but ultimately have to agree with Scoopz. Her voice is deteriorating and she isn’t making an attempt to save it — these screams show that she continues to feel herself but in the long-run, the damage continues. She does have god given talent, but didn’t utilize it to the max. Thank god for the marketing team and her X factor that made her star. lol. I’m no vocal expert by the way.

As much as I can’t stand Beyonce’s thieving tactics, she may not have a powerful voice like Xtina, but Bey truly did develop and improve her voice greatly from when she was in DC3 to going solo. Her tones and overall voice matured, she knows how to use it and it works VERY well for her. This is coming from a Bey hater but I must give credit where it’s due. There are others like Jennifer Hudson, that I think can sing circles around Beyonce, but Bey, again, has an overall great tone and continues to show the industry her versatility. Now, if only she can stop trying to get full credit for shit I don’t think she deserves — these songwriters rarely make as much as she does, and she doesn’t need to take more of the songwriting cut ($$$) if she’s already a vocalist anyway. It’s her damn job to re-arrange the vocals/structure but if you didn’t add more than a verse or chorus, sit down! Haha

@Scoopz, ahh yes. Music theory was not a joke, but studying it definitely made me appreciate music so much more. I definitely agree with what you’re saying, and although her voice is deteriorating, proper vocal training can save it from deteriorating even further, and who knows she may even sound better.

It’s amazing how much Beyonce’s voice has grown. She’s someone I would consider having a 3 star voice, but she’s like a 5 star vocalist. She’s so in tune with her voice, and it’s amazing to hear how she grows with every album. Although she may not have the most power, or the best tone, she pushes herself (through proper training I’m sure) and it’s paying off. Out of today’s singers, when it comes to vocals, Brandy and Beyonce are the few I consider true vocalists. Brandy grows vocally with every album as well, and don’t get me started on the crazy shit they can do with their vocals. Their voices are truly instruments.

@Music_Freak
LMAO. I love Beyonce, I just wish she didn’t always come off as stiff and rehearsed. Sometimes I be thinking “girl let your hair down,” she’s getting better though. And I agree about her voice maturing. As much as I loved “Writing on the Wall,” Beyonce was a vocal mess on that album with those misplaced runs and extra ad-libs she would insert every 15 seconds lol

BEYONCE… AMEN.
