Members TampaYankee Posted January 29, 2012 Members Share Posted January 29, 2012 Christina Aguilera at the Etta James funeral this past week singing "At Last". But it begs the question. . . Just because you can sing a note, must you? In principle, I thought it a fitting tribute to Ms. James. It would have been an even better tribute if sung in the style of Etta and not CA -- a little more sultry and a little less soul agony, a little of each. And what's with the boobs contrasted with a black dress signifying mourning. Isn't that a bit of a mixed message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It may have been a fitting tribute but Christina's singing is so over the top any more. We all know she can sing but being so melodramatic with every note is beyond irritating for a vocal enthusiast like me. She has really become an annoying artist. Just sing the song I say, don't act it out in every possible nuance at the same time. PLEASE !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 The singing has been widely criticized at the towleroad.com blog: http://www.towleroad.com/2012/01/watch-christina-aguilera-sings-at-last-at-etta-jamess-funeral.html Incidentally, Andy Towle, the blogger, uses the very same line that EXPAT does. Coincidence? "This was yesterday in LA. On the one hand: Very impressive, in an athletic way. On the other: Just because you can sing a note, must you?"

Guest EXPAT Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Her vocal acrobatics have always driven me crazy. It's so distracting to the songs she sings and it's so unnecessary especially for her since she CAN sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JKane Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 At least she didn't reverse one of key points of the song, ala Cee-lo... who couldn't hit half the notes in Imagine. Talentless fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
