Honestly, Christina is one of the best female singers I've ever heard, but Brian McKnight is probably the best male singer I've heard yet. What he can do with his voice, most people don't know about. Not to mention, he has a 4 octave range, which is rare, and he doesn't have to use falsetto, unless it makes what he's singing more tasteful.
@@reeceoryan2770I'm still here listening to his incredible voice June 2024 He is one of the most gifted and soulful singers around👍💯❤ Warm hugs from France ❤
Man... It's such a shame Brian has always been quite an underachiever all his career. Don't get me wrong, he's recognized in the industry, but he's never won a Grammy or never been seen as a great. But he's easily in my TOP 10 SINGERS of ALL TIME. No Doubt. His runs are the most sophisticated and cleanest I've ever heard, and his voice is powerful when it needs to be. Brian is one of the few singers that, when I'm about to watch a live performance of his, I just KNOW he's gonna kill it. No doubt at all.
Couldn't agree with this more, 100% accurate on this comment bro, and I'v seen him live twice, he can do literally ANything with his voice, totally under-rated achievement wise 3-(
Jasper Jamm u can't say he is an underachiever. U can't blame him for media outlets or fans not supporting him. Trust in the r&b/African American community he is a vocal legend!
Chad Reid word yea, I’m not blaming him. He has the talent to be one of the all time greats. I guess he’s not at that level so I said he sorta underachieved
Brian McKnight is an incredible vocalist (that’s an understatement) and an incredible supporting vocalist. His duet with Celine Dion also displays his skill level. And honestly, you cannot just put any male vocalist with a 90s diva - Brian is a legend. And he sings in this key effortlessly when it’s actually not easy at all.
A pitch perfect performance. Loved the vocal acrobatics showcased by Christina on this one. She was phenomenal. The runs and riffs she executed so well were so vastly intricate and complicated yet she made it seem so easy. A true vocal diva. Brian did an amazing job as well.
@@sapphirelatina no she forgot the lyrics lol. She stopped in the middle of her phrase during the climax of the song because she forgot the lyrics! She gets ahead of herself. She’s human. It’s fine. But please pay attention before you comment wrong information.
@sapphirelatina I think so too. In her original version of this, she would belt “allow” to build up for the climax but it’s overpowering for a duet so she changed and toned it down bec. he didn’t mind letting her belt it solo. So she paused so he could also sing.
that's, christina used head register &high head (shv) too , above 2:23 that's Run head voice G#5-B5-C6-Eb6-F6 and then down to B5-D6-C6 ,, her falsetto example on 2:16-2-22 ,,her falsetto&head voice,both are very pretty&beautiful but they have a different sounds/tones , her falsetto is very thin while her head voice register is very clear&fuller but the xtina head register it's has a pretty&beautiful tones & timbre .
I’m here!! Bumping now much love to everyone!! Keep smiling through the pain in public. Show that blessed smile, attract us to you!!!! I love you and don’t need to know you , to want the best for you!!! 🎉❤❤❤
Fantastic, awesome! Even the pianist is ace - sweet and gorgeous harmonizations. I hear often that Christina oversings it. I don't think so. I think that we now live in a world of musical mediocrity, and that most "artists" undersing it - and people don't know that this vocal technique is not just show off - it is close to gospel music, where super-highy talented people sing their heart and soul out like there is no tomorrow. Christina and Brian are doing just that! Brilliant! Love you guys!
I was so shocked in a good way when I stumbled across this. God, their voices together give me chills, I wish they recorded this in a recording studio at the time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her vocals during "My King of Christmas" era was outstanding...i mean, OMFG. Incredible! Wonderful performance :) and LOL @ Brian McK at every christmas performance lol he sings with everybody!
They are both spectacular. I am not a fan of Christina, although I recognize she has one of the BEST voices in modern pop history, BUT I love her Christmas album, I actually think it is very well done and put together with thought and love.
I can't think of any other performance of Christina's that shows more vocal talent than this. This was literally her peak I guess. She pulled out every trick in the book and executed this perfectly. I want this Xtina back!
Watching this again...True Christina, we know you got chops, but you cannot upstage, outsing, outrun, outverbrato, outwhatever Mr. Brian McKnight. Only he can do what he does EFFORTLESSLY and sound the way he does (again EFFORTLESSLY) b/c he has a distinguished voice that spews heaven! His voice is smooth, fluid, melodic, puts-you-in-a-trance.... MmmmMmmm.... ;)
One of the best duets from 2 most amazing beautiful vocals in the world for the Christmas song...i can't stop loving to hear this song each year on the Christmas season 🎅🎄💯💛👍💙
Every time I watch this video I get chills and tears come to my eyes. They are just both so amazing. I've added this one to my Christmas Playlist on my channel even though as vocalists they both put me to shame.
Brian McKnight is a legend..
vanessa clay yeah I think his prime vocals might've even been better than R Kelly
+Tremaine Brown might've??? Of course they were and still better than R Kelly.
Always a legend he is
Well said girl
And an underrated one

Honestly too, both of them are incredible perfect and match to do duet.... incomparable... it's true...
Facts
true
I can listen to Brian McKnight's voice all day.....
For sure
@@reeceoryan2770I'm still here listening to his incredible voice June 2024 He is one of the most gifted and soulful singers around👍💯❤ Warm hugs from France ❤
Tell me about it I love me some him ❤
Christinas tone around this time was honestly God-like.
no it isn't
God doesn’t sing
still today😊
@@clinttroy6066such a hater 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All her signature moves are on display here. God like alright.
easily, one of the best vocal performances ever in a duet
Very bold but it really is that good!
Chris Fullington both insanely talented but they are showboating a bit too much on this one in my opinion.
It's called an opinion @Bitchtania 1234567890KG gained lately
Chris Fullington Yes indeed.
Well, check out" when u call" by mariah Carey and Brian McKnight,then u decide!!
I always listen to this when its December, every year
Just discovered this, will become a tradition of mine too!
Natural tone without constant distortion and rasp free singing. Sounds so good. Miss this Christina.
Christina's pitch in this is everything.
nice joke
no... you're the joke
your mom is
MrGetoDac your existence is.
your father :))

Underachiever? Perhaps in terms of business and sales numbers, but certainly not in terms of musical talent.

Jasper Jamm perhaps not underachieving, but underrated... but still both I agree. So underrated it's criminal

Dang christina got the best voice of our generation
Their voices matched PERFECT!!!
literally my favorite rendition of this forever.
A pitch perfect performance. Loved the vocal acrobatics showcased by Christina on this one. She was phenomenal. The runs and riffs she executed so well were so vastly intricate and complicated yet she made it seem so easy. A true vocal diva. Brian did an amazing job as well.
She was only 19. Legend.
One of my favorite performances by Christina Aguilera. She's just amazing!
xtina's tone is everything
I love how at 2:57 she looked over at him because she forgot the lyrics and he helped her along until she finished. Such a gorgeous duet.
🙂🙂🙂
nah she didnt forget the lyrics, she was taking over his parts and he was ok with letting her carry on
@@sapphirelatina no she forgot the lyrics lol. She stopped in the middle of her phrase during the climax of the song because she forgot the lyrics! She gets ahead of herself. She’s human. It’s fine. But please pay attention before you comment wrong information.

Have to give props to the pianist made this performance that much more beautiful
It’s very Brian mcknighty
I've rewatched this cover a million times from middle school to adult hood obsessed
Christina's falsetto is one of the best imo
that's, christina used head register &high head (shv) too , above 2:23 that's Run head voice G#5-B5-C6-Eb6-F6 and then down to B5-D6-C6 ,, her falsetto example on 2:16-2-22 ,,her falsetto&head voice,both are very pretty&beautiful but they have a different sounds/tones , her falsetto is very thin while her head voice register is very clear&fuller but the xtina head register it's has a pretty&beautiful tones & timbre .
Wow!!!! These two are truly blessed with their one of a kind voices. I was like this the whole entire time!!!!🤤🤤🤤🤤
