I don’t think no singers realize how vocally challenging this song is. To go from chest voice to falsetto back to chest all in the same phrase is a talent!
The fact that she went in front of a black audience and did this song is amazing. Black audience are very hard to please we are watching every note. Great job 🎉
If you haters can sing it better than Christina get a “that is the best version of my own song other than myself “ from the Whitney Houston herself Step up. 🙌 If not Shhh I’m listening to this absolute goddess singing 💙
When a legend like Whitney praises you for singing her song that says a lot! Who wants to touch a Whitney Houston song? Nobody. But when Christina and Kelly Clarkson do it, pay attention because they are some of the REALest talents out there today.
"Christina, you've done the best rendition of this song I ever heard, besides myself" - Whitney Houston. Yet people still wanna claim she didn't do it well enough.
That’s before glennis grace came on scene period also my good sis was not in her right mind and she was definitely being shady lol😅. Bc ain’t no way this pitchy mess was close to Whitney.
@@tea_baWhitney never said Christina was as good as her And this "pitchy mess" was then and still is one of the best vocalists around So even if she wasn't perfect, nobody else even comes close to her these days, so who cares
There are imperfections in her performance, while Whitney's was perfect. Beyond that, Christina copied Whitney's singing. She didn't provide a unique performance. Be original.
Y’all hating on Christina need to know that Whitney HERSELF praised Christina to her face on that very same stage for her performance and called it her favorite rendition besides her own.
The fact that though Whitney's vocal range is totally different from that of Xtina it only goes to show how versatile and professional Xtina is, that she still nailed that extremely difficult song to the end.
She didn't nail that song. There is no doubt she can sing, but her voice isn't suited for that song. Constantly singing ballads for al lthose years and all those interviews has limited her flexiblity. "Dance with somebody" or HOw Will I know... something more pop/dance. is better for her wheel house now
I think their ranges are similar, xtina actually might have a wider range. But whitney has more power and better belting range and technique. Xtina is good, not many can cover whitney.
It's a really hard song. This clearly demonstrates how very very very talented Whitney truly was. Nice rendition Xtina. ❤ sending love your way for never letting the world ever forget how special our whitney was, and for keeping her memory alive.
Yes Christina Aguilera! Talking about a singing woman! I have always loved her voice! For her to be a pop star she has one of the strongest voices I have ever heard! She nailed this song! It’s already hard enough to sing a Whitney Houston song!
Xtina did an amazing job in giving her own rendition of the song. Listening to this performance, makes me realize that Whitney really is on another level.
WITHNEY HOUSTON es una leyenda, es una lástima que se haya ido tan joven, su voz es irrepetible, CRISTINA AGUILERA, supo interpretar esa canción muy bien, tanto así que la misma WITHNEY HOUSTON en ese mismo ESCENARIO la felicitó, cristina Aguilera también se manda su tronco de voz
Tan sólo pensar en que para esa época y en la primera emisión de los hoy aclamados premios BET, Christina Aguilera de apenas 21 años, hija/descendiente de inmigrantes católicos, víctima de violencia intrafamiliar, matoneo/bullying sin tregua y sin experiencia formal/académica en la música, consiguió llegar a ser felicitada y motivada por nada más y nada menos que la mejor vocalista de la historia reciente de Occidente: la incomparable, inigualable e inolvidable Whitney Houston. Ahí, esta última lo hizo diciendo: " Primero que todo, me gustaría agradecerle a la señorita Christina. REALMENTE quiero agradecerle. Usted es una a quien VERDADERAMENTE disfruto escuchar en la música de hoy (2001). Usted ha hecho la mejor actuación (se corrige) interpretación de "Run to you" además de mí. Se lo agradezco muchísimo". Creo que fue uno de los días más felices en la vida de Christina Aguilera y la de millones de latinoamericanos que siempre habíamos querido ser escuchados y respetados por los más grandes cantantes, artistas, compositores y arreglistas de la industria mundial, especialmente Whitney Houston. Gracias Whitney por ser la VOZ e inspiración de la VOZ de nuestra generación Christina Aguilera. Gracias por reconocer y defender en este y cientos de momentos a Christina Aguilera. La industria musical mundial no es la misma sin tí. Descansa en paz.
La mandé Christina es estadounidense, no inmigrante, y sus papá si es un inmigrante, pero ella no se crío con su papá , porque era un tipo violento! Y Christina, su mamá y su hermana son sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica
A very hard song to sing. And mind you Christina is VERY young here. To even display a small amount of Whitney talent at the age is incredible. Who is gonna get in front of their idol at 18-20 years old and show off? Not me. Woo. That takes some cajones
Yeah but was like 15 seconds and she also got bad news through a phone call just before she hit the stage so it want bad but it clearly wasn’t what she’s capable of now either. Her voice show one months before was an amazing tribute I will forever be sad it didn’t air after recording it. :(
She has a lot of blue-eyed & brown-eyed soul & hip-hop in herself. I’ve been a fan of hers since 1999, even though I first saw her in the Mickey Mouse Club in the early 90’s. Beautiful mezzo-soprano voice.
This lady has such a range of singing different songs. The movie she played in with Cher was absolutely amazing. I mean I've never heard anyone belt out songs like she did. She's amazing and beautiful and not many can match her voice. 🥰
I remember watching this in real time. Christina NAILED this!! Vocals were amazing and that is why Nippy chose her❣️it is a difficult song…so many people don’t realize it.
Christina is an icon in the music industry, comparable to Whitney and Mariah, Only thing I can see she needs to work on is calming down on the runs as she performs and let us see the softer side of her. Absolutely breathtaking song, great job.
@@petrachandrawinata6099 please put her along side kelly clarkson or demi lovato. She does not have perfect tonal quality of either mariah or whitney. She sounds garbled and screechy at the same time. She does not even have the hits that is relevant generationally.
What a wonderful version ... Christina your voice is phenomenal..... You are up there with the Greats ... Streisand/Celine Dion/Kelly Clarkson/ and I would also shout out to Nicole Scherzinger, Rita Ora and Leona Lewis who are also great vocalists ❤ Thank you all for your talent
Not really, she did her rendition great she sings more chesty and Whitney sings different style and does a lot more mix in her voice. She showed that you can put your own into a song and lost sound like a copy like I think most people want but then if they do that there’s no point it doesn’t show your skills or artistry and this does as well as musicality actually!
@@1flutedudethe level of delusion it takes to believe Whitney’s chest voice was less developed than Christina’s and saying she mixed every high note is just beyond me… laughable actually
She was such a young singer at that time and to perform that song was extremely challenging SHE DID AN AWESOME JOB!!! Beautiful that Whitney praised her. Whitney is a true class act and of course one of a kind
You better sing girl yasssss what an honor to pay homage to the greatest female singer of ALL Time the greatest Whitney Houston ❤❤❤😢😢😢😢 love 💕💕😘 and miss you so much Whit!! Rest my sista in eternal peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💗💗💗

So true. I have to give her props for that
She honestly slayed this song to every beat. Only singer I heard sing this right.
She actually did Showtime at Apollo as well.
And with that voice, she definitely deserves credit for this!
If you haters can sing it better than Christina get a “that is the best version of my own song other than myself “ from the Whitney Houston herself
Step up. 🙌
If not

Whitney said that the only person she wanted singing her songs was Christina, and Christina did her proud.

@@juniourst3ven596 True, but with her coming out of Mickdy Mouse Club, they wanted her to sing down or techno electronic her voice.

Me too
It's never been a question about Christina's vocals. She has an amazing voice! One of the very few pop stars who can blow like this!
My queen Whitney praised this performance, That’s an honor on its own. ❤️
One of the most amazing voices on the planet today.
She sang that song so beautifully!!!!
This moment already makes her a legend. Miss Whitney Houston saying that to her, so early in her career... just wow.
Outstanding performance by a lovely,talented, singing star
It was an amazing performance with tons of character and 100% Christina Aguilera. She made it her own
I'm one of the luckiest men on earth. Whitney Houston sang to me at a jazz festival concert. All the man i need.
One of my favorite performances from Christina. Beautifully done and she looks stunning!
Agreed
Christina has got one amazing voices, she, sings this so well. It certainly rocked my boat. So well done xxxxx
I love the richness of Christina's voice!
It's a really hard song. This clearly demonstrates how very very very talented Whitney truly was. Nice rendition Xtina. ❤ sending love your way for never letting the world ever forget how special our whitney was, and for keeping her memory alive.

This song overwhelmed her that says something about Whitney's voice and talent RIP Whitney Houston love from South Africa.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I feel sad when I listen to this song.
I'd love to see Christina sing this now on her mature age to see how it feels.

Same here the last one didn’t do her full potential justice in 2017.
They should have gotten Mariah to do this song lol
She sounds great and she is still here… voice strong and healthy… pay homage to one of her idols ❤
One of the best female singers today. She can truly sing any style. And has. Well.
She Never Needed any Cosmetic Surgery. She was most definitely Stunning
Very Backhanded and Shady 👀

For her to look back at this and say! "When I started, I got to pay tribute to the Icon herself and she validated me" Has to be such an honor
