She needs to keep it cute since this meant for children and they need to be able to keep up with her

I told you I am a fan of tech, the way they use autotune to construct her voice is inspiring

I was there when that happened lol
Should be a yoga instructor.
But of course. And she could be carried in on her own uncovered palanquin each session.

Oh, we're sharing sad Britney gifs?
suddenly your Xtina hating all makes sense now.
"Breathy and weak"
"great"

I don't think Katy Perry should be judging anyone.

Oh.
Well, then let me explain. I do not like Britney because of her singing (though it has its own appeal unrelated to her technical ability). I like her because she has some catchy, memorable songs, especially the ones that I grew up with (2000 - 2005-ish, which is when I was going to high school (plus a bit of eighth grade)). And for that matter, I also actually like some Christina songs, particularly from the same period - actually up through Back to Basics, I think. And it just so happens that a lot things that she does that really aren't good for her voice (and sound rather awful live and have contributed to her losing a lot of her belting range) happen to sound pretty damn awesome in studio.
But I just don't think that she's nearly as good a vocalist as her stans think she is, and I think that acting as if she's the "Voice of the Generation" ignores the real gap between her actual abilities and where she would need to be to hold that title. My shading Christina has always been about her vocal problems, not about her weight being up or down or her appearance or how successful she is or whatever.

I liked her during her guest stint on American Idol. Anyone who threatens to throw coke in Kara DioG-whatever's face has my support.

Back to Basics would be so damn good if some of the filler were cut out.

Ain't No Other Man was a terrible song. Perhaps an even worse single choice for Xtincta than Fighter.

Those Brit gifs. So sad... but so funny!
Lady Gaga should teach poor Brit some of her glorious dance moves. She's a certifiable Dancing Qeef.

Well I'm fairly certain at this point that Cynosure IS Christina Aguilera, so I have no choice but to stan for him. LOL
Anyway, you guys will all be gagging when "Love Your Body (Fuck Your Body)" is released. the snippet I've heard sounds awesome.
Me too! We should start our own language!
Let's see them work this out!

Link doesn't work
That is strange; it works for me. Try copying and pasting? If that doesn't work, the video was called Video Interpretation: Christina Aguilera-Ain't No Other Man".
Just so it doesn't stay confined to the topic, here is a YouTube video of all the track samples from Marina and the Diamond's Electra Heart
Here are my predictions for how the album will go:
God-tier:
Primadonna
Lies
Living Dead
Starring Role
Good tier:
Power & Control
Teen Idle
Fear & Loathing
Homewrecker
Decent tier:
State of Dreaming
Valley of the Dolls
Lame tier:
Bubblegum Bitch
Hypocrates
for real, Lies and Living Dead just SLAY me

How dare Kleptoriah steal the title of Kris Allen's flawless new cantata. Never an original thought of her own.
This needs to leak.
That was a nice attempt, though it really doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Kleptonce; it doesn't flow the same way.
But good effort!
Well my favorite Mariah shade name belongs to this youtube account. S/he comes up with the most hilarious videos.
yeah, the crappier the shade name the better to be honest. like whoever it was complaining about all the messiah names being shoehorned it: they're better the crapper they are.

Watching this trainwreck was admittedly a painful experience. Obviously sick but she still tried to power through one of her hardest songs - poor gerl just needed some tea with honey :-(
Wasn't this performance during a particularly strenuous promotion schedule for her?
The uploader would be an Xtincta stan.
Leona Lewis

The entire 90s was a particularly strenuous promotional schedule for her.
She released a new album every year, and wrote or co-wrote every single non-cover she's ever sung. This on top of her international tours, tireless re-recording of vocals for official remixes, directing music videos, contributing backup vocals for other rising artists, and charity work.
In other words, I would've been OK with a lip-synched performance or two, gerl!
Haha. I should have clarified that that wasn't meant to be shade, really; I just happen to like that shade nickname for Beyonce. It's one of the better ones, I think. I like how it keeps the number of syllables consistent.
Yes, I am weird.
And as for the performance Leona linked to, she definitely sounds congested; she has a similar sound to when she was singing Emotions at the MTV VMAs (also congested). You can hear the congestion in the scratchiness when she belts in particular.
Though that definitely sounds worse there than it did at the VMAs, yeah. It's (probably) a combination of congestion and what you mentioned. She's always had a rather sensitive voice; this is her trying to sing Anytime You Need A Friend in a room that was a bit too cold for singing.
'Twas me!
And glad you like the video~
i giggled for a good five minutes. that was a good cap on my night.
NIGHT NIGHT POP THREAD YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE THING
...I know this is somewhat urban legend, but isn't this true that people tend to sing better with colds? Something about the vocal chords being more rigid making it more effortless to project? I wouldn't know...surprisingly, I've never attempted to sing with a cold.
Also, random note, but "Anytime You Need A Friend" contains my second favorite Mariah Carey vocal moment. When she hits that growl in "So don't you ever be lonely"...chills every time.
My first favorite vocal moment belongs to "Can't Let Go". One my top 3 favorite Mariah songs and her best whistle register moment, in my book.

I wouldn't be surprised. Both Mariah and Leona have hit their highest live notes (G#7 and Eb6 respectively) while sick.
I can see the logic behind this being true. I'll have to give it a try next time I'm sick.
Also, as an ode to Mariah and nod to your fave, and a sincere token of my affection: this is undeniably amazing.
