Christina Aguilera Impersonates Cher, Britney Spears and Shakira During “Tonight Show” Visit

Brian Bowen Smith/NBC(NEW YORK) — During an appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show Monday to promote her return to The Voice, Christina Aguilera revealed a little-known talent of hers. It turns out, she’s very good at doing impersonations of certain celebrities.

Aguilera joined host Jimmy Fallon for a game called “Wheel of Musical Impressions,” in which they took turns impersonating famous singers performing certain songs.

Aguilera delivered spot-on imitations of her Burlesque co-star, Cher, singing the Folgers Coffee jingle and Britney Spears performing “This Little Piggy.”

Aguilera then impersonated Shakira singing “Thank You for Being a Friend,” the theme from the 1980s sitcom, The Golden Girls.  Fallon, impersonating singer Michael McDonald, joined in.

Aguilera has returned to The Voice for the show’s eighth season.  She told Fallon it gets easier and easier every time she returns to the show because she and veteran coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have “got the routine down by now.”

She recalled that the first three seasons were “rough and rocky, because nobody knew behind the scenes what was happening [or] how it would work.”  She added that every year, the show gains “more success and it becomes more familiar to people.”

The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC.
