Christina Aguilera Tears Up 'You Lost Me' On 'American Idol' Finale
Aguilera will perform at 2010 MTV Movie Awards on June 6.
By James Montgomery
Christina Aguilera may have taken a few years off to raise her son, but the singer proved she's back in a big way on the "American Idol" finale Wednesday night (May 26).
The singer — who will perform at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on June 6 — tore into a stirring, soulful version of "You Lost Me," a track from her forthcoming Bionic LP, that proved, if there were any doubt, that she's got one of the best voices in the business.
Aguilera took the stage after this season's female contestants — Lacey Brown, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Siobhan Magnus and Crystal Bowersox — performed a medley of her hits "Beautiful" and "Fighter," emerging from below the stage to help put the finishing flourishes on the latter, then, as the stage went dark, stepping out into a spotlight for her solo.
Accompanied by somber strings and a piano, hair pulled back in her Bionic curls, and wearing a demure black ensemble, Aguilera started softly, singing about smoking guns, lost magic and the tragedy of a dying relationship, then picked up steam from there as the music swirled beneath her. The middle section of the song was smoky and solemn, Aguilera stretching the notes, then, eyes closed and right arm outstretched, sang for the rafters.
Her voice got bigger and bigger as the song entered the home stretch, but she never let things get out of control, and brought the tune home with a simple, breath-y "You lost me."
And as the "Idol" audience gave her a much-deserved standing ovation, it became clear that Aguilera still has got the goods to go up against anyone.

Christina Aguilera Performs “You Lost Me” On American Idol Finale
May 26, 2010 by Story Gilmore
The women of American Idol got schooled on delivering epic live vocals when pop diva Christina Aguilera dropped by for a performance on the season 9 finale.
Starting things off with one of Xtina’s biggest hits, Beautiful, the top 6 Idol women then launched into Christina’s Fighter before being joined by the star herself at the end.
With the contestants off the stage, Chris slowed things down and performed You Lost Me, one of the stand out tracks from her new album, Bionic.
Christina gave a stunning performance. Emotional and vocally powerful, it was the Christina that many of her fans have been missing.

Christina Aguilera sings for her life on ‘American Idol’ Finale. Watch!
Christina Aguilera just owned the American Idol Finale with ‘You Lost Me’. The ballad is lifted from her new album ‘Bionic’, to drop in stores on June 8th. Before she came out, the American Idol finalists performed a medley of two of her biggest hits – ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Fighter’. Watch the performance below:
Wow. This is how a true artist performs! After several misses regarding her new album (lead single tanking, postponed tour, etc), this performance was definetely her victory so far. The 29-year-old clearly showed why she is at the top of her game when it comes to vocal talent. That chick can sing the hell out of anything. Loved it.
