Standing in front of family and friends gathered to remember the life of Etta James at her funeral, Christina Aguilera stood in front of the crowd, ready to pay tribute to her idol. Describing Etta’s music as something that “cut right to [her] soul,” Christina’s emotions ran high as she introduced the song she was about to sing, addressing Etta directly as she dedicated it to her. Despite her strong emotions, Christina channeled them into a moving performance that will amaze Music Man fans.

Christina gave a powerful performance of Etta’s song ‘At Last’, pouring her heart into the song. The singer was able to give a technically stunning performance despite her high emotions, with impressive vocal runs giving the song an Aguilera-style twist. Receiving a standing ovation from Etta’s friends and family, the video of her tribute also moved viewers online, with the video receiving 10M views and garnering comments reading, “It sounds like Etta’s spirit is living through Christina.”

The comments were also flooded with people recognizing why Christina was the singer who was invited by Etta’s family to perform this song at the service. Many noted that Etta had adored Christina’s cover of the song, even calling it her favorite cover by another artist. Amazingly, in spite of the praise heaped onto her rendition by the singer, Christina never released a studio recording of the song. Instead, the official version of her rendition is only a recording of a live performance.

As one of the most iconic soul artists of all time, Etta James undoubtedly influenced Christina Aguilera’s singing style. When given the opportunity to pay tribute to one of her idols, Christina not only honored Etta with a heartfelt performance but also showcased the enduring impact of Etta’s legacy on future generations of singers.

Christina’s emotional rendition of “At Last” left a lasting impression on the audience and resonated deeply with fans around the world.
