   Trent really has an understanding of the human singing voice. I’m quite impressed. Trent I think you should do a segment on singers with the Voice(Christina) v.s singers with Vocal Talent(Beyonce).

   I would of preferred Celine Dion do the Etta James tribute. Christina and Celine are the only 2 version that I like

   As long as Alicia doesn’t sing “At Last”, I will be fine with it. I understand that that is the song that everyone knows from Etta but it will be great to hear other Etta songs, especially in a tribute.

    I think Alicia needs a vocal coach more then anything.
