Kenny G & Chaka perform Christina's "Beautiful"

i saw it live on the Today show (I think)

She did a really good job on it. They sounded good 2gether. Did any1 else catch this?

Supposedly it is going to be on Kenny G's "Duets"

I would post the mp3 up, maybe later...if there are requests..

I think it goes to show that she thinks Kenny has some talent, which he does. I'm not a fan of his, but he plays his instruments well and I give props to almost anyone that can play well or sing well. There are too many out their getting rich that are not able to do either.

secondly, the song its self is a beautifully written song.....i cant stand christina but she actually showed some restraint in her vocal execution....and chaka took the song to another level invoking emotions that christina only hinted at.....

its funny, many people dismissed cole porter tunes originally and now they are recognized for their wit and depth.....so, go ahead and dismiss "beautiful"...i wonder if opinions would be different if chaka originally had recorded the track..

as far as kenny g is concerned, hey....prince toured with najee... nutty

biggrin

Agreed. I'm no Aguilera fan, but that song is..well..beautiful. Linda Perry did a great job arranging it. The fact that Christina sang it straight without all the vocal gymnastics is why it works.
If The Beatles had written "Beautiful", the friggin' tune would be worshipped.

clapping It's a great song and Christina smoked it. It was the only Grammy win I felt was deserved this year.

That's a, make that THE signature Christina song (some would argue it's "Dirty"). The funny thing is that people would blast her for even thinking about singing a Chaka song.

I can see Chaka doing this song justice, but not with Kenny G. Not live. Somebody mentioned Prince and Najee. Prince had the sense to put him on a musical leash and it worked out great-- believe me I cringed at the thought of them working together. If this was a Kenny G project then you're gonna get a full dose of smoooooth jazz. smile cool

What a great song. Chaka really tore this up.

By the way, Chaka & Kenny performed this on CBS' Early Show, not NBC.
