You can impersonate James Brown while singing in tune and not screaming. She definitely did her research in terms of phrasing - the phrasing was very James Brown - but still, like the rest of her vocals, it was a technical disaster.
There is a difference between belting and screaming, but you wouldn't know.
It's funny that the people who praise other girls for belting, will turn around and shade others for doing the same and call it screaming. Go figure.
I can totally tell when someone is BELTING and when someone is screaming. Xtina can belt but she also SCREAMS sometimes so I don't know what you were trying to say but oh well.
LOL, you say that in every Xtina thread. I'd love to see one single performance when Taylor had a quarter of the stage presence and served a quarter of the vocals X does.
Haters are so silly. No a single one of her peers can say they have one legendary performance. It was such an iconic moment in MUSIC
Others have had iconic tv moments such as Britney's VMA for Oops i did it again and Madonna, Britney and Cristina herself on that epic vma opening but those are more entertainment moments than they're music moments.
The entire industry was stanning Christina that night and the academy called it a career defining moment.
