    Xtina has the potential to be a great singer, but her technique is throaty and thin which restricts her power and range alot. Alot of people mistake her "Loudness" for power which is just wrong.

    Despite having a naturally lighter voice, Beyonce makes the most of hers as she is trained perfectly.

    But when she's keep her voice in control she's flawless and untouchable. Beyonce couldn't even outshine Jennifer Hudson vocally when they performed together.

    Anyway lets just end this here and atleast you didnt say beyonce was a better singer which would be alie :blush:

    Slaying lmfao. :D

    The song still drags though. Cut the first half and a bit more and it'd be much better lol. That second dress was awful. The first one was much better.

    Well it fell out of the top 1500 yesterday so :p

    Sadly those days are in the past. We just have to accept that.
    Even during the HOH era they would get way more though, and her performance on "Where The Heart Is" in 2013 got quite a lot.
    She really needs to perform on a big show again...I'm not holding my breathe though.

    Don't think these shows she's performing on get many views and not that many people care about a 2 minute daybreak interview when we've heard it all before in the past month.

    Maybe when she gets back on bigger platformed shows it'll change

    Hopefully not. The less promotion it gets the better tbh, the song just isn't commercial imo.

    Perhaps.
    I thought Amazing Grace would do alright as the Hallelujah performance on Songs of Praise gets comments almost every day and is almost at 1m.

    I feel really sad for Alex today. Bittersweet as she sounded incredible on every performance!

    I think that when she bacame an ambassador of Well Child, she promised them to release a charity single to donate them. She didn't want to waste any good song for that so she picked the weakest one.
    She wont promote it anymore though. That would be a waste of her money.

    But it's on the album. It's weaker than anything on Overcome or even HOH, and doesn't give much hope for high quality music in the future. The production is terrible.

    There's no way we can be sure that WDHG is the weakest or one of the weakest songs on the album. For all we know this could be one of the strongest in Alex's eyes which is extremely worrying lol

    Look at NMY and Shine, those songs are amazing! Alex worked with some good producers so I don't think that we'll get that weak songs. But you're right we can't be sure.. We can only hope :)

    Xtina has the potential to be a great singer, but her technique is throaty and thin which restricts her power and range alot. Alot of people mistake her "Loudness" for power which is just wrong.

    This, teach them.

    Both Christina and Beyonce have impeccable vocal technique. As for who is the best, that is entirely subjective!

    Christina has NO singing technique

    Those performances blew me away! She looked gorgeous, erhm, except in that dress while singing Where Do Hearts Go which reminded me of her Let It Go-era costumes. Everything on point, the background singers should follow her during live performances in the US too.
    And I think this made me love Where Do Hearts Go even more.
    Beyonce is the one that makes every hit and bullshit song sound incredible live, Alex is also climbing the same stairs! Bravo!

    Wasn't keen on the box pattern dress, but otherwise, she looked and sounded amazing! Her voice has grown so much! Clearly in a different league to anyone there!
