Rebecca and christina Aguierla at the x-factor semi Final |
A hefty
Christina Aguilera took to the
X-factor stage and totally smashed it with her performance of
Beautiful.
Unfortunately, the same could not be said of her duetting partner
Rebecca, who gave a shaky vocal performance and forgot the lines.
To add to the list of complaints was the
song arrangement. The choice to cut off the song at the climatic second half, when the true belting begins,
was ludicrous. It may have been done to spare Rebecca's blushes but it only served to disappoint those who were waiting for the vocal fireworks to begin.
The performance was a
ramshackle affair that made the usually slick show look like an amateur production. This was a duet that could have been something special, but instead it was a badly paired, rushed and
unrehearsed mess that potentially sacrificed Rebecca's chances of winning for the viewers and publicity Christina would bring to show.
