Watch Aguilera and other artists discuss the most memorable performances in GRAMMY history on the TV special "GRAMMYs Greatest Stories: A 60th Anniversary Special," airing Friday, Nov. "I think it added to the vulnerability I was trying to pull off in the performance." "Ken Ehrlich suggested I get down on my knees, and sing the song in sort of a kneeling position," Aguilera reveals. Integral to the success of the performance was Aguilera's posture and presentation, which she reveals was a difficult pose to hold while singing, but ultimately a challenge she overcame. It's tough to pick a top moment among so many iconic performances, but Aguilera's personal favorite is her intimate, vulnerable performance of " Beautiful" at the 46th GRAMMY Awards in 2004. She even helped pay tribute to the legendary Aretha Franklin in a stunning medley with Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welch, Yolanda Adams, and Martina McBride. Over the years, she's shared the spotlight with GRAMMY winners such as Herbie Hancock, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, and Pink. The duo's upcoming tour itinerary includes select dates in March and April.Ĭhristina Aguilera has made six trips to the GRAMMY stage as a featured performer.
