    Christina Aguilera Screams Off-Key On ‘The Voice’

    Written by Trent | Filed under Cee Lo Green,Christina Aguilera
    Christina Aguilera The Voice TheLavaLizard

    Christina Aguilera performs live on ‘The Voice’.

    For years, critics have been warning Christina Aguilera that her constant scream would ruin her voice but she chose not to listen. Tonight, however, the once golden-throated diva learned a harsh lesson while performing on ‘The Voice’ and straying dramatically off-key during her set.

    Dressed like Madonna, Aguilera was joined by Cee Lo Green to sing their duet, ‘Make the World Move’. If you read my review of her ‘Lotus’ album then you know that I regard this song as the weakest cut on the entire LP. Regardless, watch Aguilera perform the tune on ‘The Voice’ below:

    Aguilera actually kicked off this performance in fantastic form but everything went to hell in a basket when she attempted to scream at the climax. That is exactly what happens when singers don’t know how to belt and don’t understand the key points of resonance.

    Where are Aguilera’s fans who claimed that nothing is wrong with her technique and that everybody who says otherwise is a “hater”? Speak up because the class needs to hear your latest excuses for this nonsense.

    Thoughts?

        Once again, why does someone always bring up what Mariah is or isn’t doing in a Christina post? As if making fun of Mariah takes away from the fact that Christina sounds like she’s being skinned alive? Let’s try to stay on topic, stans.

      Her technique is horrible true, but every singer misses notes, including the one in the GIF. Youtube any number of them. PS your obsession with Mariah is kinda out there don’t you think? I mean you work her into every conversation, lol.

      trent this is why people dont take you seriously. She hit one faulty note I can call out a bunch of faulty notes that mariah has hit. I can even play you performances where she has to lip sync because she cant hit the notes. I think the performance was fun. She sounded great until she hit that note. I am one of the sane xtina fans who will call her out. Yes her technique isnt good. But hey thats her. She has been singing this way since she was 8 I dont think its going to stop now.

      Btw, and I’m not a Trent stan by any means, but the issue isn’t a bad note. It’s the fact that anytime she belts, it sounds like her vocal chords are ripping. Belting should not sound like that regardless of a husky tone.

      Y’all better get out of here with that bullshyt, Mariah has many recent performances where she has belted in a great way. She’s a tremendous technician and knows where to place her belts. Mariah’s tone is also still very nice. Everything isn’t harsh. Stop being haters. Mariah does not have anything to do with this.

      It was one bad note. I love how this site conveniently fails to recognize when Mariah has a bad performance or the fact that she lip-sync 90% of the time. I’m a huge fan of Mariah but she’s been singing worse than Christina. Just look at the last triumphant performance, she was having trouble singing notes in the 4th octave. Yet this site failed to write something like Mariah ‘struggles’ in the title because it’s biased and hypocritical.

      Besides the embarrassing off-key note, this was a solid performance. However, I still hate this damn song! I hope she will release “Let There Be Love” as the next single.

      But, how much do you guys want to bet that she will perform “Just a Fool” with Blake Shelton next?

      I actually watched this performance live. I didn’t like the fact that she chose to perform this song anyways when she has so many amazing songs on her album. I was distracted for majority of her performance because of her weight and that outfit. I just can’t believe huge she is now. Then to top of the performance, she hits that note which sounds like she strangled or something. I am speechless. smh

      Christina…no. It was not only flat, but the total loss of volume, and that dead from a mile run…like…no Christina. She should be leaving her prime right now, not experience not sounding like the musical embodiment of retirement and middle age.
      That gruff sound she prefers is not natural to her. She already had a beautiful voice, but she was just determined to be something she is not. This performance was not bad…until it got to that moment…and yes it is one faulty note…but it was the big moment. It was meant to be the definitive moment of the song and look what happened.
      Now to everyone mentioning Mariah (including the subtle hints from Trent), please just stop. Yes Mariah is not where she used to be when she was younger, but that is due to her nodules and age, not because of the way she sings. Christina’s hazardous way of singing ends up with things like this. She has always been like this even in her younger days at the start of her career. It is only showing more because her voice has experienced massive wear and tear. Christina won’t learn restraint (know your limits), and she won’t learn how to sing properly (breath support, resonance, intonation), so moments like this will happen more and more. Mariah may have lost a lot of her ease, but that is only in her chest, and she can still hit E5′s with great ease. Her top and her bottom are very much in tact. And even if it is not, she knows how to work around that. Christina does not, she keeps going for the same thing, expecting different results.
      And Trent, it might just be time to stop talking about Christina, cause even though this is true what you are saying, to have as many post about her, and not ever not shading her…it is one thing to be critical (saying she fucked up her voice, and pointing out the glaring flaws), it’s another to be as patronizing in the way you choose to speak. I love shade as much as the next person but this is a bit much.
