Wendy Williams on Christina Aguilera’s Tribute to Whitney Houston at The AMA’s 2017

[@pokemontas8025]

she dressed that way because it was a tribute for Whitney! it was not about her. She was being honorable. The whole tribute was beautiful.

@@massimosigismondi699 I agree. This "tribute" was at best mediocre. There are others who could have done much better. None of them would have come close to Whitney but they would have done it better than Christina. The only singer I've heard that could really do Whitney justice is Cece Winans.

Whitney never said that, she said about Christina's rendition of Run To You that it is the best cover of that song.

Archiduc De Belgrade this is the best "Run to You" rendition kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5XKiHSodrOorKM

[@ulysseslopes4242]

Wearing black clothes represents honor and respect for someone who is not alive, and so important it is to wear this kind of clothes in a celebration like the AMA... It wasn't the best rendition of Christina to Whitney's songs. When Aguilera sang in The Voice, many years ago singing "Run To You" and even when she was a child and sang I Have Nothing, Aguilera sang as a singer from another world... Maybe Aguilera should be bad on that day in AMA for any reason, i don't know... But Aguilera is really really a powerful female voice of our generation, even her voice suffering little changes.

i think young christina aguilera would have this tribute 100% i feel like she was being rushed with this performance but i can be wrong, but she did a great job for effort, Whitney houstn did say that she did the best redition of run to you besides herself. also whitney did say that Christina aguilera has an incredible voice and she really enjoys in todays music. So far christina aguilera from what i heard other famous singers that are out now and old singers that have sung whitney houston songs either there voices are too weak or they over power the song. The only person who i think that can equally match whitney houston song to sing it in the same key and style and tones are CELINE DION and LEONA LEWIS, Everyone else that sung a whitney song either didnt have the power or they just overpowered it.

[@christianroscom4474]

People lets not criticize Xtina if you can't even sing. Case fucking closed. She did a good job honoring Whitney and I bet you can't even sing a single note properly on Whitney's songs so shut the hell up. Xtina was very brave to do that despite her age and damaged vocals.

[@xxooxxxxxxooxxx6984]

She didn't say "jump" she said "swing on me". Get it right Wendy.

[@FranciscoNS1992]

Whitney NEVER said that! Whitney was very critical about singing and singing technique since her mother was a choir vocal director and a very talented singer! Whitney said that Christina's rendition of "run to you" was the best rendition of the song besides her own! Whitney knew a lot of gospel singers who are not famous that would sing Christina under the table so this quote is not even close to Whitney's thoughts about Christina's vocals!

[@townsendagency6780]

and they are irrelevant, christina was the only popstar that was praised by whitney for her vocals that was available she was a good choice bye

Christina has sang them before. The set was rushed and she missed her entrance for “and I”. You win some and you lose some. You’ll never catch Mariah or Beyoncé singing these songs because it’s just too hard to fill Whitney’s shoes. And as Wendy said people are too strict on the creativity of the songs.

[@heatherramsey9190]

Honestly I prefer Christina's rendition better than Whitney's. I always thought Whitney became a little cliched for being "this huge vocalist " Yet she never has impressed me the way Christina has. There is just something about Christina's voice that is so special. No one could EVER sound like her. That voice is epic not only to a generation but to ALL generations. How many singers can actually say that? As far as Pink goes, she was getting emotional - she was caught up in a moment. Because that is what Christina did with her tribute - she brought out every emotional nuance of the song. She owned that song. I am not even a fan of Christina but the truth is the truth: She is incredibly vocally endowed and uniquely gifted with such powerful dynamics in that voice of hers.

[@alexanderhall2720]

Um, no one could ever sound like Whitney. Your statement about Whitney being cliched for being a "huge vocalist" (Whitney was indeed a huge vocalist) is ridiculous when applied to Whitney but is definitely spot on when applied to Christina. Christina may be good but she's nowhere in Whitney's league and she's not that special. She's not even in Whitney's galaxy. Whitney's voice is epic to all generations, not Christina's. Sorry but Christina was never epic and she frankly isn't all that relevant to this new generation. She wasn't even really that popular in her early days being that she consistently got outshined by Britney Spears. As for her performance here, Christina did not "own" this song. She certainly did not bring out emotions, at least not positive ones. If your performance makes someone want to beat your a$$, that's not a positive thing and it means you royally screwed up. Bottom line: nothing you said in your comment is remotely true. Christina's performance was nowhere good enough to do Whitney or her songs any kind of justice. There are so many other singers who could have done this tribute WAY better than Christina, and yet the overwhelming majority of them still would not be able to do Whitney justice either.

Ok, this is becoming very tiresome. Christina Aguilera sang a disaster Whitney Houston songs, there Whitney had named her to sing their songs. What Whitney never understood in her time when she was alive, is that after her death, Christina would sing her songs very badly and especially in an event as important as her tribute. To me in particular it left me disappointed. When I heard that Christina was going to pay tribute to Whitney, I swear, I was so happy, I even said to To me in particular it left me disappointed. When I heard that Christina was going to pay tribute to Whitney, I swear, I was so happy, I even told myself, I can not miss that spectacular moment; I saw the air of her through KZbin, someone had mounted only the show of Christina Aguilera and I got ready to see it, I can not miss that spectacular moment; I saw the show of her through KZbin, someone had mounted only the show of Christina Aguilera and I got ready to see it, And what a surprise it took me, the emotions so good that I had to see it vanished like a house of cards, I was stupefied, I could not believe it and especially with a singer of the caliber of Christina Aguilera, who I thought was going to put her show at the highest of expectations and everything became boring, disappointing and It caused me a lot of anger, because I wanted to see something of an excellent level, but it was not like that. I think that Christina Aguilera is one of the best and greatest voices that the USA has given birth to, but it is a great pity for all her fans and admirers that we had to witness such a shame. I think that with this show she marked the return of the singer and especially because she is already going to release a new album. I repeat, I did not expect this disaster from her, because I was excited to see her sing and especially with songs by one of my favorite singers of all time, but it was not like that, how sad!
