Entertainment Weekly: Aguilera's performance reminiscent of Whitney in her prime!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. EW has officially lost it.
Yeah, it was a good performance but comparing it to Whitney at her best is ludicrous. Whitney was so good when she was on top of her game that vocally I dont even think Mariah could match her.
Whitney could belt better than anyone in the business, that's for sure. And at her best, her timbre was really rich and clear- basically the opposite to Christina. Christina even on her first album was nowhere near Whitney at her best, or Mariah for that matter.
Indeed. When you say someone is as good as Whitney at her best, you've put the bar very high by comparison and as nice as her performance was on Friday, Christina was in no way the same league as Houston at her prime.
