First time I have ever come across this performance! Wow, she sounds and looks flawless!!! Not to mention a very nice ice skater thrown into the mix too :D
It wasn't flawless! She took about ten sound checks and messed up her intro twice. I feel sorry for Sacha, the skater, to be honest. All this was amazing for those of us watching, but don't be fooled by the flawlessness.
They barely showed Sasha at all! They just panned to her for a few seconds here or there while keeping all of the focus on Christina. Wasn't the point of this to have Christina provide the audio and Sasha provide the visual? In what world is watching Christina move her mouth more interesting than watching Sasha Cohen's spiral sequence? People were supposed to be hypnotized by Christina's VOICE and Sasha's performance. Lame.
I adore Sasha's skating and it was not only barely shown but Aguilera's voice is often too hard and powerful for the delicacy of Sasha's performance. What a disappointment.
when I saw that performance i was like in a trance. absolutely brilliant.I went out and got the album the next day. in this version she uses falsetto in some places where she doesnt on the record(like the "you" in 'blaming you" but I love it.great performance, great song.
