She still has the same vocal issues, but she doesn't sound as terribly as she sounded in the past two album eras. I hear they did 3 takes and spliced the best together. I'm surprised she hit and sustained an F5, but it was throaty and unsupported. Nevertheless, rise lotus rise.

Time to debut a single Christina! Capitalize on the buzz this is going to generate and with the vocal slayage to boot. That hologram was horrible though Somebody on both the technological and Voice editing staff is getting fired for letting that footage get released. Also Pat is full of sh!t because she was in the audience clapping along so she knew what the hologram looked like. She just didn't think the backlash on their part would be this extreme.

The performance was excellent. I honestly can't remember the last time Christina has sounded that good; it's AT LEAST been 10 years. I can see why the performance pulled though. The hologram looks absolutely nothing like Whitney. But I don't see how they made it all the way up to that point without noticing....

So they cancel the performance, so instead Christina performs debut single?? That's the only alternative that will satisfy me.

That was the best Christina has sounded doing those kinds of belts in maybe close to a decade. It's incredible to compare that to some of the stuff she was doing on the show around the time her last album came out. That hologram was awkward as hell though. I get that it was supposed to represent Whitney at her peak, but did they have to give it 1993 image quality? She looked like she was about to make a cameo in Cool Runnings.

Christina sounded amazing. My only issue is that hologram has everything Whitney EXCEPT the face.

Christina sounded and looked amazing in that performance. While holograms on the whole are tacky af, it's disappointing this won't air just cause of how good Christina sounded.
Hopefully they figure out something else for her to do at the finale. Can't she just do a tribute sans hologram? I'd be down with that.

If she is going to deliver that kind of vocal realness with this era, y'all better hang on to those wigs. She is not playinggggggg.

Christina did great herself, I liked her vocals a lot - but I'm not here for these hologram performances of deceased legends; they're tacky as f**k (which is a criticism of The Voice, rather than Christina). I would have much preferred just a tribute from Christina herself. That performance blew me away!!! Welcome back #thevoice

The clarity on "I Who Have Nothing." :o . Queen.
The hologram is tacky as f**k, but Whitney did respect Christina, so at least they chose someone she would have approved of.
She better not back off not her promise of new music before the end of the year, though. Don't play me, Christina. I'm ready.

I was scared she was singing "IHN" (Whitney's best, imo), but she sounded fantastic! I'm even more excited for the album now. Why couldn't she have promoted it with The Voice?!

Christina released her statement:
"I was honored that the Houston family asked me to perform a duet with the legendary Whitney Houston,'" she said. "Sadly, the technology could not meet up to the talent that Whitney possessed."
"I do know in time the performance the fans and I have been hoping for will come to life," she added.

Those "Say Something" vocals are just unbelievable. :o
The slowed down "jazzy" version of ANOM is EVERYTHING.

I hope they sing "Into You" rather than "Dangerous Woman."
Also a real studio duet between them would be amazing one day.

EXCLUSIVE: Pink Says She and Christina Aguilera Have Come 'Full Circle,' Reveals Daughter Willow's New Celeb CrushPink might have had some bad blood with Christina Aguilera in the past, but the "Try" singer says that it was their tumultuous history that made Aguilera the most fun coach to work with when she recently served as a guest advisor on The Voice. "Her and I have had history and it hasn't always been wonderful," Pink told ET's Carly Steel at the red carpet premiere of Alice Through the Looking Glass at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Monday. "I think it just took us 15 years and I feel like there was true love and it felt really good." WATCH: Pink Jokes About Combative Marriage With Carey Hart, Says They're 'Due' for a Break "I love when you're around long enough to have a full circle moment and that was a full circle moment for me because in all honesty, I'm a fan of hers," the 36-year-old GRAMMY winner continued. "It was just a really refreshing, nice visit." www.etonline.com/news/189434_pink_says_she_and_christina_aguilera_have_come_full_circle_reveals_daughter_willow_new_celeb_crush/:kii:
