Video: Christina Aguilera in 'Burlesque'
It's back to classic Christina, who landed the lead role of Ali in the upcoming musical drama. After a long day of work, the singer decides to unwind with a little karaoke. As should be expected, when Aguilera takes the stage -- even if it is a dingy diner platform -- it's no amateur hour or casual shower singing performance.
As soon as she opens her mouth Aguilera's powerhouse smoky vocals own Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold On Me." The former pop princess parades around her make-shift stage with an unplugged microphone, treating the empty diner to some stellar "hairography" -- whipping her blond locks and bouncing to the music. Gripping her chair for purchase, Aguilera ends the song with an intense vibrato note and collapses promptly on the floor after a job well done.
"Burlesque" opens in theaters Nov. 24. We'll just have to keep X'ing the days on our calendar.
