That was a hot mess, sorry...but her screaming is just ridiculous....and the live performance proves 3 things:
1) The production and beat for NMT is FIRE.
2) Christina can BLOW when she's not screaming and has vocal control.
3) Lyrically, the song has no substance.
She sounded like a man.
She looked like a granny.
She screamed.
She tried to connect to other women in the motivational speech in the end.
She didn't go back even to the top 100.

Only Christina
It was great. Her vocals were amazing in some parts but straining in other parts. And I love her boots but I also think she was wearing too much clothing. She also needs to leave the granny curls to B2B.
This doesn't compare to the 2006 "Ain't No Other Man" debut performance. I'm sure American Idol and 2010 MMA will be better.
My opinion. I was a bit disappointed because legend gives me greatness with her performances most of time... this one was "good", but I was expecting a bit more. I'm sure it will get better!
