base talk Why are people shocked about Xtina's voice after 25 years?

[X-Dre]

There is a misconception that female singers naturally lose their voices as they age. Why?
 

There have been 2 major cases that may have created this idea:

1. Whitney Houston, was considered one of the best singers, but drugs destroyed her vocal cords.

2. Mariah Carey, another top vocalist, because of her nodules and (let's be honest - her live style) wine and lack of rest.

 

So it doesn't make sense to expect Christina NOT to sing well! Ariana, Demi, and Miley will still be amazing singers when they reach Christina's age.

Look at Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin and Celine Dion. They all kept their powerful voices! So I believe that Mariah and Whitney's cases created this misconception. Opinions?

Because she's still screaming after 25 years.

Yeah, Christina still sounds really good, her vocals are perfection

[ImpressMeMuch]

Weird energy in this OP, you clearly just wanted to drag a dead woman and Mariah Carey

 

Let's just focus on being happy for Christina. People are also surprised by her voice lately because she's being less harsh with it. Those 25 year covers were gorgeous compared to what she was doing in the early 10s (in a lot of cases, ik she has always been able to sing beautifully so no need to provide videos lol).

What a weird thread 

[ChooseyLover]

It is impressive because the haters keep saying how horrible she is from a technique standpoint, yet her voice sounds as strong and healthy as ever.

 

It's a matter of taste if you like her voice or not but I absolutely love it and I'm glad she's taking such good care of it. I've seen her Vegas Dressing Room tour video and you can tell she's into a very healthy lifestyle and she takes vocal health very seriously.

Beyoncé's voice dropped by some octaves worry about that

Yeah, from the voice to the skin to the body to the lube (not even being facetious with that last one) she really exudes mental and physical health! 

[nostalgic]

Xtina haters have nothing on her - weak drags about her voice, rumors from the Bush administration, ozempic jokes. They'll always be scraping the bottom of the delusional barrel to tear her down.

We really gotta give it to her. I wish many of my other favourite artists treasured their instrument like that.

[QueenB]

Lotus era vocals were very hit or miss, but it looks like she drank some fountain of youth and her vocals are sounding stronger than ever

200% Case closed

You could have simply praised your fave's screams without bashing Whitney and Mariah

And the haters are still running into any Xtina thread as fast as possible after 25 years. She's rich, talented, and successful with a good family life. I bet I can't say the same for her haters.

[J Legend X]

gurl.. she is my fave and she was sounding rough through the entire bionic and lotus era… like vocally she was not as amazing as lately

[XAMJ]

a new vocal peak is happening before our eyes.

 

xtina currently going viral on social platforms for her voice 25 years later and universal praise is really sending some fanbases into a spiral 

 

legend x

[Kimi]

cause lots of old legends didn't know how to take care of their voices and lost them. 

[Xtripped]

After the horrible Lotus vocals, these new vocals are amazing!

 

Obviously she's been training a lot since pandemic. Mulan OST era, Vegas residency and this has been on point.

 

[XDNA]

There have been many high-profile singers who lost or damaged their voices. Look at Shania, Julie Andrews, Adele, Steven Tyler etc.. There's more examples if you look. 

[BionicWooHoo]

You know for so many years I've seen so many people be like "oh Im actually like educated in vocal coaching or blah blah blah" being like oh she has bad technique blah blah blah. Oh? Why are those folks so quiet now

[ReH2o]

Talent always win 

[LikeATattoo]

This is intellectually dishonest because it implies that Xtina's voice has been perpetually solid throughout her career, when in actuality, it never even had an established prime because it could never go up to a full year without breaking down like an old car. Xtina is simply experiencing a momentary vocal high point after 15 years of sounding like the demonic underworld LOL. Truthfully, she hasn't boasted a modicum of vocal consistency since the Bush administration. 
 

Xtina's voice presently sounds healthier than at any point in her 30s, and I love that for her. But the fact that her stans feel the unshakeable need to lie about her vocal trajectory (whilst trying to dunk on drastically superior talents in Whitney and Mariah) highlights not only insecurity in their fave's ability, but a glaring dissatisfaction with her overall legacy.

 

As an aside, those duets with Sabrina aren't going viral because of "shock" at Xtina's voice being solid in 2024; they're going viral because Xtina has spent the past 18 years in PSP (Pop Star Purgatory) and the GP genuinely forgot that she even existed.

Where is this so called success you speak of? She hasn't had a hit in a decade.

I couldn't have said it any better. Fighters have always been this insecure about their fave, even when she's one of the most talented divas out there.

It is genuinely astounding  
 

Xtina finally goes viral for something positive, and how do her loose-holed stans react? By hopping on here to denigrate other artists in her favour. And not just "other" artists, but ones to whom their fave (per her own admission) owes her entire career. Artists who she modelled her craft after. Artists who she, objectively, isn't even a billionth as important as.

 

It's a shame, really. Xtina has grown up, mellowed out, and shown contentment with her career. Contrarily, her stans remain angry about heights that they feel she should've reached smh. Very sad.
