Christina Aguilera sings 'Ave Maria' at Kobe & Gia Bryant memorial 

Nobody was showy

He also spent a few years living in Italy as a kid.

@@geebee1514 beyonshit was

Gail Briggs did I say anyone else was?

Mariano Abundiz this is in Latin though

Wasnt that Italian?

@@hectorrodriguez7002 It's latin

Giuliana CR why does jimmy say “in Italian” at the end then? Was he mistaken?

@@spe.z.artist he either assumed it was Italian or was misinformed. That was Latin. Period. Lol

@@spe.z.artist I know the words to the prayer in Latin and this is definitely Latin

Everything is better when u feel it and comes out of your ❤️

She ate that performance. However, she had way to much reverb on her mic. Had she just gave us a dry vocal, it wouldve been even better.

@@matthewharjo7512 Can you do better? Lmfao

@@LadyFrost1971 Ummm obviously not. I wasn’t hating on her performance. I think she killed it, her vocal was 100 as always. However, what I did say, wasnt hating, it was a critique. She should’ve cut the reverb in her mic, and just gave us a dry vocal. However, i get the direction she was going for, she wanted it to sound like she was singing in a church.

She sang At Last at Etta James' funeral. It was amazing!

Lol

Beyoncé is better

@@captainhindsight8779 Hell no Beyonce tone and voice is weak boring and you can hear a lot of singers who sounded like bey but when Christina sings you would know that's Christina

@@madamx2244 …. Her vibrato sucks hun It s not even on point Beyonce has a perfect vibrato

Celine Dion, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston.. should I continue..

Right

That’s a minor problem all she had to do was give the musicians the shut up sign and they would have followed her command.

She needed more volume on her mic, I don’t know. Such a beautiful song

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.

MARIA ALEXANDER it’s probably actually a good thing considering how awful her execution was. 😟😟😟

Like an Angel

Absolutely incredible!

On this occasion, yes. Most of the time. She sounds like a shrieking cat falling off the roof.

@@deandrake2723 stfu dawg relax😂😂

@@deandrake2723 oh that was mean!

they complained about the volume, but thats what I thought

Crescendo 🎶

Thats a professional vocalist and an international superstar !!

Such control

Actually, she was off. You don't actually realize it until "Maria" there, and you wouldn't catch it unless you're familiar with the piece. Everyone caught up though.

Fact pattie arthea tina Christina is a living legend

jennifer hudson too theyre both extremely talented women! untouchable

Yes but what about her own career,her own songs...she will end up being a tribute singer....?she does not have any hits anymore at least internationally....

​@@k.ch.2611 What does having hits have to do with anything? Having current hits doesn't negate her talent as a vocalist.

Yes! ❤

Christina did the tributes to Etta James, James Brown, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin...etc, I mean DAMN (these are legends). All these legendary tributes solidified her status as a pop superstar and one of top powerhouse vocalist.

You don't know what underrated means

I dont think you know what underrated means dont embarras yourself using it

She is very underrated

Beyonce, Rihanna are considered better than Christina. But she can sing better than both of them together. Doesnt this mean underrated?

They wish it was a show. IF she's loud she is trash, if her voice isn't so loud she can't sing straight. People want her to be anything but herself. Lol. ALways complaining.

Fabricio Crasher they are blaming the instruments and the sound quality

Actually she has no control over that at all. It was entirely the sound technician who could have upped the gain a little on her mike and I wish they had.

not grieving...... COMMEMORATING.........

And the echo from the place is ... so she was just amazing despite of everything there. She stayed humble sang with the bottom of her heart and just for this BRAVO ❤️🙏🏽

What do you mean? She can sing her ass off she's one of the greatest vocalists of time so...

I mean she can sing so lol

@@madamx2244 I'm super late, but that's the point... That's why there's a lot of pressure. They put her on a spot and expect flawlessness. 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.

They always call upon the Queen to do tributes. One of the qualities of being an icon like her. She's been doing this since she was like 12 years old. Big events like this requires people like her and Beyonce to deliver a classy and professional performance.

She doesn't have balls, but she sure does have some grand ol' ovaries!

lol whitney's was drug induced

@@jonathanjmassey she got older, you voice changes from when your 19 to a 30 year old.

@@annieschmannie8962 crack also changes your voice

@@jonathanjmassey bye sir

@@jonathanjmassey shut your face and have some respect

Thats right...anything!!! The girl doesnt allow herself to be put in a box.

Vocalist of our generation #Xtina

Except this song. Not the best fit, but I guess it depends what your bar is for good singing.

Paid for by the NBA store selling Kobe jerseys at $300 a pop.

Sky Walker this performance is collectively praised by fans, non-fans, the general public, critics and the media. I've even seen some of her long-term social media haters admitting that she did a great job. So your "bar" for good singing must either be broken or you're simply petty because this, my dear Mr. Walker, is the definition of great talent and vocal control👍

Happy New Year 2021! This song is dedicated to everyone who lost a loved one. "I'm calling out your name tonight" by Richie Levoi ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSbGGiSe3S8.html

Naught

and gia

She has an amazing voice but not soft enough for this piece of music

« No other artist right now has the kind of depth & power she holds in her voice » hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Christina has an unhealthy singing. Beyoncé is the one who sang that rendition of ave Maria first, and nobody has ever sung this song the way she did. Perfect technique and incredible vocal choices.

Power but no restraint or control and get technique is terrible. It's like watching a parody of bad singing Edit "her" not get

@@Anonymous-lv5tz beyonce cant even hold a note straight. Her never ending use of melisma fooled u n2 thinking she can sing

@@Anonymous-lv5tz never heard of dolores o riordan singing it ? Beyoncé is a Standard Singer great voice nothing special!

Its because christina is not doing more this is why nobody gives her attention she should do more to be in the front such a amazing talent

@@johnnyusman you mean she is not a chart chaser anymore after bionic, she doesnt even try, doesnt promote her music like she used to in the 2000s

What u talking about shes not underrated during her prime years when she and britney dominated the chart hits back in 2000.

No she not she over sings everything.

Sassy Green lmfao

I think the fact that she knows how to sing in Spanish, made this song a piece of cake for her.

You are so right!!!

Maybe cuz she is half Hispanic ? She speaks spanish

The original Ave Maria is actually sung in German

I was just gonna comment the opposite. Her accent is killing me

Will be 8 in February. 🤞🏻

@@luisnaranjo2925 maybe 9, because 2 number nomation

Sejuani I have been telling people this for years! Christina can pull it back but she enjoys the extras because that’s who she is.

👏🏼 well said

Christina Aguilera is hardly a legend yet, dear. She has been in the music business for a lengthy time but she will have many years to become a true legend. Yes, however she did a fairly good job here. She wasn't showing cleavage like Beyonce.

@@nhotwings the fact that the only thing you saw in beyoncé's performance was her cleavage speaks a lot.....

S. Jackson Beyonce was dressed very conservatively, but she’s a woman and she has breasts, not that big of a deal. And Christina is definitely a legend

Mamba Nation310 ❤️

Even just watching it through a video got me choked up lol. Goosebumps from the second she started til it showed the pictures at the end and she had that BEAUTIFUL end. CHILLS

Or Maybe cuz Kobe just died? I don’t think this random trick made anybody feel a different type of way. That’s just corny bro.. A dog could’ve went onto the podium weeping and ppl would cry.

idkman09 or maybe it can be both mourning Kobe and such a beautiful song playing that moved people? bitter little goblin.

Heemsky “Bitter little goblin,” fucking hilarious bro.

I mean, I don't think she's underrated. I think others like beyonce are overrated

@@ginnykitty1 True

Christina will always matter ✊🏼 her voice gives me chills ✊🏼

She sounded like a 🐸

@@Ignasimp you don't know much , enjoy your lip syncing artists

i agree. she was amazing

yes thank you!!!

Don’t complain

Mika Nakagawa This is a comment section, I’m sorry, but there’s no way you’re not going to hear at least one complaint. But everyone’s opinions need to be heard once in a while. Let’s just focus on how well C.A sings please.

Mika Nakagawa IM SCREAMING😂

Her Mic wasn't low. It was the musicians being places to close to her

I imagine to myself that it was intentionally low to try and balance the sounds. She sings very loudly

@@glibbergloopshe keeps away from the mic from time to time, she s a professional vocalist and definitely know what she s doing

Her mic was a little low, you can tell in the parts the piano plays right over her, but she used the reverb and echoey acoustics of the stadium to her advantage to really fill the room

Lanang Sudjana she was drowned out bad sound system

Lanang Sudjana me too

yeah. i think it would ve been better and more appropriate without instruments

yeah. i think it would ve been better and more appropriate without instruments

setuju banget eyke KK.... ga perlu isntrumen padahal ....

It was a heavenly prayer

Unlike B. 😔

Laura Larrabee cause she was waiting for her turn to leave? 💀 you can’t just walk off stage, Jimmy Kimmel was the host and escorted everybody out

Michelle T -Yeah this was toned down. I was afraid she was going to be extra but she wasn’t

Alexander Baladad boy stfu

Listen to the Italian opera singers who sang that original song she's ok compared to him

Catholicism is evil, plain and simple. The divining serpent.

I'm sorry but it was nowhere near the best performance of the song.

@@yahdiahgary9015 stop with this shit Respect other religions. enough

Everyone has the right to worship who ever they want.... I mean, some people even worship animals..... just saying.

Perro Perrito thanks for the obvious, take that else where and enjoy the performance

Jvyc633 He’s saying it because Jimmy said Italian 🤦🏻‍♂️

Mohack88 yeah I know why he saying it , I’m saying clearly we all known that’s not the Italian version

Jvyc633 pretty sure not everyone knows.

@@Mohack88 i didn't know thanks for the info. Don't get mad for that hater tho

Me too

Beautiful rendition of the biblical scriptural prayer. Hail Mary! Queen of all Saints! Happy Feast of All Saints, today!

3 years later and im here.

4 years later and i’m still here 💀

She still kinda over did it tbh. Adding vibrato and vocalizations where there needed to be none. It felt more like a performance for the stadium and less like a contemplative moment of reflection over the loss of a friend.

@@william2154 can you do it better? please i'd love to see it.

Agreed! It's been a long time since she simply sang the song and let her natural talent shine through instead of over singing it and going too far!

Liev cause she does what she wants and she doesn’t over do it. She has fun with her talent big head.

@@df8979 invalid point, he doesnt need to be a singer or doing better to think she's bad or good.

Derk Money Rich yikes, the level of comprehension is zero.

Derk Money Rich you are so disrespectful.

@@YongandMike and she destroyed every single performance

Lol. Listen to Mirusia then see.

My all-time favorite rendition.

Legendtina!!!

took a moment trying to get the disney legend trying to think what movies then remembered the all new Mickey mouse club.

T T at MMC as a child " a prodigy" in 2000s beginning "6 times grammy winning" in the end of 2000s and beginning of 2010s "the greatest voice and the voice of generation" 2019 : Disney Legend She's definitely a legend

Tuesday Wildchild I'm talking about her I'm generally and it's my opinion, I didn't talk about this performance 🤦

Tuesday Wildchild I was not talking about her ofc she is a person I I was talking about her talent but we will not continue to discuss about this subject because we all have different opinions and different taste, I have mines, you have yours

Since she's been touring a lot again her vocals have become super good again. Just like muscles you need to keep training your vocal cords and after she gave birth to her children she had stopped performing. But she's in prime shape again now :)

Listen to her singing “At Last” as a teen ...

When they were starting out, the question was always Britney or Christina? Both ladies are good at what they do, but when it comes to pure vocals, Christina is above and beyond almost everybody.

VERY SOOTHING.. AT FIRST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF HER VOICE, I FELT IT WAS VERY PEACEFUL AND LOVELY! VERY RELAXING AT A TIME LIKE THIS... RIP KOBE AND GIANNI BRYANT⚘

It’s amazing she should sing like this all the time

Samy Akli I love how beyonce sang this song

Samy Akli Beyoncé also

She has a lot of reverb on her voice. This song can only ever be sung by a classically trained singer. She does not have the power to reach those big notes smoothly. Good attempt but no Dame Kiri

@@CQuinnLady the reverb is not intentional!! This is sound engineers messing it up. It clearly does not sound clean and she usually doesn't use reverb (unlike Beyonce). This is sung in a pop way, no comparison possible with opera. This is like comparing apples and oranges. My comment was strictly talking about pop voices.

@@saak5609 did u mix it? how do u know its not intentional? It wasnt a song for her voice, classical or not. Ave Maria is NOT a song to sung by a pop diva. The arrangement wasnt pop it was classical.

Which countries?

Lol okay, an Indian fan hence was curious :) so happy for her!

Reuel Arnez i am from indonesia 🇮🇩

💎👹🛑

So true I was very surprised with Beyonce choice of clothing color!

Beyoncé wanted celebrate life not death but I get what u mean

Mahalia Hill thank you! Some people interpret death differently and everyone needs to work on understanding that

Beyonce wore GOLD. Alicia Keys wore PURPLE Plus, it was a Celebration of Life. When my Mom passed, we all wore different colors. The color BLACK does not have to be worn at a funeral..especially for a Life that is Celebrated! I think they all performed beautifully for the Bryant family!

@@maggielopes3369 ..Beyonce wore GOLD and Alicia Keys wore PURPLE....get it???

Isaac Schneider aHahqhqhhqhqhq

@@amakuaole I think he was just appreciating Christina being great without showing a lot of range.. Don't be so angry 😶

@@mero3772 Ok, Thank you.

It was very beautiful

did u see kobe there

When she did James Brown song "a man's world " nailed every bit of the Godfather of Soul.

pablo suarez it does.

@pablo suarez well Xtina just took me there... lol

She is the real one🖤

Nah just messy engineering

Huy Lê I guess that’s the problem of the reverberation,which made her sound not as clean as Beyoncé at the very beginning. but I love both of them. They both my queens. It’s like dream come true to watch them perform on the same stage 🥂.

Lies

foo 83 truth

Lisa Free amen! So true

Lisa Free 🧢

Lol most of the time she yells , not sings. She oversings. What control are you talking about?

I think it was just her voice. She had trouble singing over the instruments. Maybe more rehearsal time or someone with a softer voice who can sing over the music would have been better. I praise her effort and compassion to give a good performance, though.

Oh really? She sang the song impeccably.

It's definitely better to hear it in the audience.

Sky Walker lol r u on something ? Christina had always use live bands and orchestra she never had problem with instruments nothing is wrong with her voice it was clearly the sound system ? The freaking echo

Sky Walker how can softer voice be better at singing over live orchastra. You make no sense

Wth happened to cristina 🤮

peter griffin says someone who can’t even put their face on a profile 🤔

Overrated people always get much more recognition.. Simple logic

yes i agree xtina's song is difficult song to sing

yes christina has a great voice but Beyonce she is amazing she has great voice also she has unbelievable dancebreak sorry but BEYONCE

@@herih939 Beyonce performed Ave Maria Before. She actually sings it before Halo when she performs.

Tuna Velioglu Art beyonce Who

legasiguy What are you deaf?

@@jimmycmartinez he is not. But you are.

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.

@@jimmycmartinez said nobody

Pedro Abad Girl, okayy!!👩🏻‍⚖️

Chill Christina is trending because of this beyonce isnt lol

@@lonerEmpath beyoncé was everywhere what are you talking about

@@lonerEmpath There's actually a lot of videos of Beyonce's performance that have far more views than this one, there are even some over a million views. It's just the youtube bias that decided to put this one on trending although it has less views. Regardless both were beautiful and touching performances.

It's because we're in secular times. Anything having to do with God will be ignored.

Listen Hurt by her..

@@rayb7429 cool, give me your opinion..
