      @Otokage007 Před 4 lety +115

      The voice is supposed to be able to go over the instruments because the piece was written for classical soprano singers, which have the training to sound very loud even without a microphone. This happens when you try to mimic the original arrangement using a pop singer.

But don't forget she's a human and they certainly ain't perfect and make mistakes. One example comes from Aguilera herself when she messed up national anthem line at Super Bowl. That didn't stop her from singing at stressful events (to perform) such as Kobe's memorial and Etta's funeral. That's why I give her props. I think I might see a bit of bravery with no excuses there. Plus, that Super Bawl performance wasn't pre-recorded like highly praised Whitney Houston's one.

    Always loved this girl. She is absolutely brilliant. No screaming the hymn, dressed appropriately. Pure class.

    Can we all just get off the trajectory of Christina's amazing and beautiful voice.
    What an honour to be asked to sing at this beautiful man's Memorial and create such powerful ambience which evoked and captured the raw and real emotion of grief, disbelief and pain on the audience and those of us watching....it did for me.
    Grown men reduced to tears , such was Kobe's
    Charisma and appeal.
    Lest we forget the other dear souls who also lost their meaningful lives too.x

    I love that her voice has this deep, heavy, almost heroic quality when she belts. Combined with her light, delicate head voice. It’s not everyones cup of tea, especially if you expected a “prettier” interpretation. But it was very emotive. Well done.

      Pedro Abad She is NOT one of the best vocalists of our time. She always screams or growls in her upper register. It sounds forced. She was better in her younger years with Reflection and Turn To You. This performance of Ave Maria was not good for her voice, which is a pop voice.
