Some would say that Aguilera’s little spoof felt like a creative Saturday Night Live sketch. Maybe she should host and perform on there once again! When she lasted hosted the show, Aguilera performed a spot-on impersonation of Kim Cattrall in her Sex in the City sketch, as noted by TIME magazine.
Aguilera even attempts to sing and speak like Britney Spears did in her classic “….Baby One More Time” music video. Aguilera even speaks like the singer, “Hey, y’all. Join Team Britney. It’ll be super fun. Join team Britney, b**ch!”
For her Lady Gaga impersonation, Christina wore the singer’s iconic 2008 MTV Video Music Awards look. As for her Shakira impersonation, she faked a Colombian accent and said phrases like, “You’re voice is so mellifluous,” and “Tambour is tantamount to the tone.”
Christina Aguilera also took on the role of her idol, Cher. She wore the singer’s iconic outfit from her 1989 “If I Could Turn Back Time” music video.” Aguilera asked, “What does this button do?” She then turned to the camera and said, “Are you kidding me? I have an Oscar for God’s sake! An Emmy! A Tony!”
Those aren’t the only pop stars that Christina impersonates in the clever sketch. She also does an amazing impersonation of Miley Cyrus and Sia in the clip. For those sketches, Christina wears Miley’s infamous 2013 VMA costume, while she wears Sia’s a platinum blonde wig that covers her eyes.
