her band was on instagram/snapchat during rehearsals
and the songs were "Run To You", I Will Always Love You" and "I Have Nothing"
also the AMAs official twitter tweeted Viola Davis will be introducing her

damn. 3 of THE most difficult songs. im rooting for her to do well
hopefully she's been taking care of her voice

"Run To You", I Will Always Love You" and "I Have Nothing"
is she crazy :ummwhat:
xtina bout to ruin her comeback before it even begins
i cant with ha
Well she?s gonna get universally praised for this unless her voice really goes out or something. Yt ppl always get overhyped when they do big ballads
Xtina's voice isn't pretty so the "Run to You" performance is going to be ass.
And her voice is completely shot so the big vocal songs are going to sound like sizzling shit.
Can't wait to kii
She's about to ruin those songs with her hollering and straining
God bless.
Maybe pre recording ?Run to you? and getting the crowd on her side will help before she tries those monster songs

Christina will sound good until she has to go even remotely high.
The grunts and strains in place of every high note or belt will be horrific. And her run placements are so predictable and generic. I'm already cringing.
Didn?t she butcher the fuck out of ?Run To You? once before back in 2000 at the BET Awards?
SSDDDDDDDDSDSSSSSDDDDDDDDDDDXDXXXDDDDSSSSDDDDDDS
Can't wait!!
:feelinmyself:
I'm sure significant portions of these will be lipped. I hope.
That may not help tho
Her BET Awards performance of Run To U was good for her. Whitney herself said it was the best rendition she had heard of that song. I can picture her doing that song justice over I Have Nothing or I Will Always Love U.
My biggest fear for her though is that she doesnt fuck up the lyrics cause she's notorious for that.

at the time, sure. Looking back, she could?ve done a lot better
If you go back and watch Christina's live performances from her debut era and Stripped, they are not very good.
Great tone, but vocally, she just really was never THAT girl.
She's more like THAT girl's cousin.
What a waste of a Whitney segment.

O yeah, it wasn't THAT great but she didn't "butcher it" either. Looking back, it was one of her better performances during that time.

There?s no sound on the ones she?s singing in. Lol
she prolly told them they could upload vids but to mute the sound.
Good for her.
This is about to be entertaining, to say the least
I know you love XxXTina above anyone else but brandy should be doing all Whitney tributes for award shows. Period
She should sing in this order a medley of: Jesus loves me acapella intro, Run to you, i?m every woman (surprise visit by chaka, Chaka leaves as song finishes), queen of the night, I will always love you. I?m sure they can fit this all into a 8-10 min segment.

I hate when they make the tributes all about the ballads. She had just as many good uptempo songs that are well known and the bodyguard is no exception.
Hope y?all are ready for the general public to praise this like the second coming
she?s gonna reignite all the ?voice of her generation? talk
even if she?s off key the whole time
I think it?s because it?s Christina
Christina is a vocal based artist.
you want a vocal from her
that?s what you think of when you hear her name
if it were Beyonc? doing the tribute
I would expect more uptempo?s from her
because she?s performance based
I must say
it would feel/sound weird seeing X do
?I Wanna Dance With Somebody? or ?How Will I know? lol
But then again....
X would so SLAY ?Queen of The Night?
it has a bit of a pop/rock edge ala ?Fighter?
I wonder if she?ll do that too, since the tribute is for the bodyguard soundtrack

i love Brandy but no she shouldn't. She's too afraid to touch the ballads. Besides, her tone and range aren't made for that. Which isn't a bad thing. She's set a new standard for what makes a singer a great vocalist.
None of these girls do Whitney justice to be honest. They either scream too much, their tone loses its purity and clarity, or they crack all over the place. Same thing that happens when girls try to touch Brandy songs.

You?re right
I just remembered it was a tribute to that soundtrack
but I don?t think she?d do uptempos in a regular tribute either
Anywho...
I?m excited and the world will be watching
I hope she has something lined up for her own music
after this tribute, since all eyes will be in her
it?s the perfect time to drop a single or at least press release for the album

But Whitney wasn't just a r&b singer. She was a universal icon. And it's not like she didn't give the okay for Xtina to tribute her while alive. Whitney inspired most of the girls - black, white and inbetween.
I'm here for the kii's, this is going to be legendary :kii:

First of all...
Bran already had a chance @ the BET awards
and has performed Whitney at her shows....
Brandy doesn?t own Whitney
and most definitely wasn?t the only artist inspired by her
and skin color has nothing to do with it.
I?m sorry but y?all say some of the dumbest shit.

Am I the only one that thinks GODtina did well with that hologram tribute mess? :guys: Granted it was lipped down but the vocals are still hers. I wouldn't even be mad at something similar vocally.
