Good to see that Christina Aguilera got positive reviews from Vue Weekly on her performance at the Shine a Light concert of the Rolling stones. Christina Aguilera is indeed a great singer!
Christina Aguilera comes on surprisingly strong when she enters for “Live With Me,” holding her own with Jagger and showing some real restraint for a change when it comes to her voice. Instead of wandering up and down the scales, she keeps to the song’s melody—for the most part anyway. Aguilera ends up providing an interesting counterpoint to Jagger’s more primitive vocals, and she actually brings something extra to the song.
It’s notable, too, that there’s a moment during “Live With Me” that perfectly breaks down the separate approaches that Jagger and Richards take with music. Aguilera backs towards Jagger and the singer moves in for some onstage grinding with the tiny female vocalist; the camera cuts over to Richards and we see him lost in the sound of Bobby Keys’s saxophone, seemingly oblivious to everything except the moment where two old friends—Keys has been playing with the Stones since 1969—come together in the music that swirls around them.
