Christina Aguilera took the stage at the American Music Awards to pay tribute to the late musical icon Whitney Houston. However, as the camera swooped in for the usual audience reaction shots, fans caught Pink with a rather perplexing look on her face.
A furrowed brow, and a slight shake of the head. Indicative of one of two things: either she was mildly repulsed by Aguilera's key fluctuations, or she was overwhelmed by her talent - and was really, emotionally feeling the groove.
As per usual, the internet had a lot to say on the matter. "Christina is really struggling with this Whitney tribute. Her vocals are usually spot-on. Those weird runs and her key fluctuations are best described by Pink's face (actual screenshot taken during Christina's performance)," one Twitter user critically wrote in reaction to the singer's performance.
The pair had long-running "beef" stemming originally from their collaboration on "Lady Marmalade", but it seems they finally put their differences aside while both appearing on The Voice.
"Her and I have had history and it hasn't always been wonderful, but finally, I think it just took us 15 years, and I feel like there was true love. It felt really good. I love when you're around to have a full-circle moment and that was a full-circle moment for me because—in all honesty—I'm a fan of hers," she said on Entertainment Tonight at the time.
Indeed, one twitter user pointed out the pair "deaded their beef last year and have been FRIENDS since, respecting each other's amazing talent as grown women. stop creating something out of nothing."
Which is where we finally received the word of god herself - Pink took to the social media platform to point out: "Christina f*cking killed it tonight for one of our favorite singers ever. This about Whitney, and I am in awe of Christina's talent. Show the clip were I'm in tears, you negative Nancy's [sic]."
Case settled.
