Christina's atrocious performance of the Star Spangled Banner....

....at tonight's NBA Allstar game. Remember when she could hold/tried to hold a note? What's with this ridiculous excess of melisma she's throwing in the mix at every single recent performance? Awful, awful, awful. There is a reason Bjork never did the Star Spangled Banner.

For having such a GORGEOUS voice, she really is irritating isn't she?
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Dammit! I had no idea she was performing! I wish I saw it, I love Christina.

Beyonce just performed a "Naughty Girl/Crazy In Love" medley. Damn, does that girl know how to perform (and live, I might mention...what a great voice). I'm eyeing her as the successor to Janet (not that Janet's over, just the successor in spirit).

Yeah, and that is that she's not American.

Leave Bjork alone!

I can't stand singers like Christina, they have no subtlety to their voices, they just wail away while everyone oogles over how they have 'such great voices'... Sorry, but just because you can be LOUD doesn't make you a good pop singer!
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

I was complimenting Bjork, not ripping her. She's a great singer who knows how to use her voice and when to use it. That's important.

That was a too-cocky,jazzed up mess of a rendition.She has a great and strong voice,but she is trying too hard now.That was a complete mess.They should have had Courtney Love scream the thing!

Christina's performance sucked big time and so did Nelly Furtado. Both should be ashamed. The way they sang the anthems was awful!

Nelly was nervous and uptight (poor thing), but Christine nailed her anthem. She was great on it. Big-ups to the drummer, he hit a nice set of rolls and rat-a-tats on the "bombs bursting" and CA fed off that.

I think that Christina can get carried away with the wailing sometimes, but I think she has a beautiful voice. I guess you're not familiar with a lot of her singing on Stripped, nor have you had the chance to see her live. Her voice is amazing, and not because she can be loud.

Let's be honest Beyonce blows Janet away vocally.
