Now that ‘The Voice’ has returned to NBC, we have to endure a mix of wailing and bombastic high notes from performers who are erger to impress the viewers. However, last evening the barrage of misplaced notes didn’t come from the contestants; the noise came from the coaches during an awkward tribute to Prince.
Belting tunes such as ’1999′, ‘Little Red Corvette’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Lover’ and ‘Kiss’, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green proved that none of them know how to sing. Don’t believe me? Watch the madness unfold below:
That tribute was horrible! Shelton sounded completely lost – he obviously can’t sing anything except Country music – Green kept mumbling and Levine’s then falsetto was underwhelming, although he did do a phenomenal job on the guitar. Of course, Aguilera was the worst.
Aguilera slurred her verses – did she forget the words again? – and had absolutely no sense of the music. Furthermore, she used the exact same vocal runs that she performs in every song. Really, why does she end every performance with that “yeah yeah yeaaaahhhh oooooooh” run?
Dear Christina Aguilera, I am sending you the following plea in bold, italics, underlined, capital letters and in a special colour just for you: STOP IT!

Trent been going in on Xtina hard lately, and she barely sang anything but back-up in the whole medley. Just hope you can take it back from the Xtina, Rihanna, Bey fans when Mariah come out. Just saying…..
IF only y’all could see the look of fright my cat has on his face right now!
Clearly, all 4 of them do not know how to sing with other people. Out of everyone, Adam did the best but still not his best. Cee Lo was being Cee Lo. I cannot deal with Blake turning Kiss into a country song just so he could sing it. Christina needs to be taught how to be a background singer; she was trying to outdo everyone during their turn. All of them need to go stand in a corner for this “tribute”.

I Love Cee Lo! Is it me, or does Xtina always sound like she has to take a massive dump?
Once again I agree with @DOMOdotScore its call harmonizing. I don’t understand. Sometimes it best not to touch certain artist songs such as Prince and Michael Jackson prime example that Glee’s tribute. Adam did well with I wanna be your lover but to me it appears rush or last minute as if the did not practice together.
They were fine, I don’t understand why so much hate for Xtina by you… STOP IT! go hate Mariah your fav… who has the same runs too always… so IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT FU*K YOU
@Joss and at least Christina doesn’t make the audience sing all the good parts of her songs just coz she can’t like Mariah does.
I’ve been disappointed by Mariah doing that SO many times or her fave “and you and you and you and you and you” in place of the big belt.
First time visiting the site for a while Trent & I Love the changes you made! Yaaassssssss!
^^^^^^^^^^ummmmmm trent seek a restraining order immediately
Christina………………………………………..could we vote her off the show?
Christina sounded like a high pitched bag of shit.
LOOOOL @ the last two lines.
Girl urgently needs the help of a new stylist. The horror!!
This tribute wasn’t awesome but it wasn’t that bad.
Mariah & Beyoncé definitely know how to pay homage to Prince, coaches should watch & listen to their vids on YT ASAP.
wow… people stay talking about Mariah in the comment section. Y R Yall mad tho? Mariah accomplished more in her first five years than Christina has in her entire career.
Apart from the horrible singing, what the f*** is Christina wearing? She needs to dress appropriately for the new body that she has. Girl has been a mess lately, get your act together! I want another “Lift Me Up” #hoping
OMG I think someone wants to promote this website by criticizing THE GREAT VOICES!!! You know what… – it is business and I know that you’ll get many, many viewers here but I WILL NOT DRINK ANYTHING YOU GIVE ME. So that was my last time on this website because you are not consistent and objective. You are looking for sensation and you make everything sound much bigger than it actually is! Bye bye stupid website!
