The long-planned Michael Jackson tribute, Michael Forever, got off to a pretty rocky start, but it all turned out just fine eventually. Christina Aguilera, the headliner of the event, in particular, killed it with her performance.

The singer, dressed all in black and rocking some fierce hair, performed “Dirty Diana” and one of Michael’s all time-favorite songs, “Smile.”

As the two videos attached to this article will surely confirm, Christina managed to move fans to tears, putting such passion and emotion into her performance that it would have been hard NOT to feel anything.

They should also remind those who have forgotten that she isn’t called “The Voice” without solid reason, because that’s just what her performance was: rock solid.

Other performers to take the stage at Michael Forever included Leona Lewis, Beyonce, Alexandra Burke and Jamie Foxx.
