The Washington Post: Christina Aguilera Officially Redeems Herself

Christina Aguilera belted the soul out of "Ain't No Way" as part of the tribute to Aretha Franklin that opened the Grammy Awards. A cursory check of the lyrics indicates that she did not screw up any key lines, as she did while performing the national anthem during last Sunday's Super Bowl. Of course, to be fair, the word ramparts does not appear in that Franklin classic, so that may have helped.
So is she redeemed now? Can we all officially stop unnecessarily unloading our rage on Aguilera?


Or wait, maybe this is a more appropriate time to ask some other, better questions. Like, was it kind of ridiculous to close the Franklin tribute with "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" or would "Freeway of Love" have been a goofier choice? Is it me, or does Aretha Franklin, who appeared via video at the end of the tribute, look better than she has in years?
