At last. Etta James finally got the first-rate tribute she deserves. Thanks to Christina Aguilera who threw down an extraordinarily beautiful, emotionally raw rendition of “At Last” in honor of her idol. Among other things, it’s a beautiful reminder of why I still stan for Xtina even though she’s slowly morphed into a blonde Snooki. Yes, she did over-sing it a bit, but it wouldn’t be a signature Xtina performance without melismatic embellishments.
Now as much as I’d like to keep the focus on her performance, it would be irresponsible to neglect the liquid matter streaking down her leg during. The thing clearly surprised her. Befuddled, she wiped her legs and rubbed hands together and powered through it. How she managed to remember the lyrics under those circumstances, I know not. Please watch that spellbinding tribute. Then watch it again. And again. Then stand and applaud. Then minimize this page and go tweet the clip to Lana Del Rey.
OK. With the mundane stuff out the way, let’s get to the million-dollar question. What in the entire fuck is that mystery liquid running down her legs?
