The American Music Awards took place in Los Angeles last night, and one of the show's performance segments saw Christina Aguilera pay tribute to Whitney Houston.
The tribute was in honour of the 25th (!) anniversary of The Bodyguard, which of course starred the late singer.
However, as well-intentioned as it may have been, not everybody was on board with Aguilera's performance, with most suggesting that she didn't quite have the range to match Houston's.
Pink's face, meanwhile, was a joy to behold - although she denied that she had been grimacing.
Watch the performance and see the reaction below:

No shade whatsoever to Christina Aguilera bc my girl can SING but any dedication whatsoever to Whitney Houston shows that *no one* can really do her justice. 😶#AMAs

There's two types of people:
Those who appreciate music and true tributes to black artists.
And those who unfortunately thought that Christina Aguilera did a great job saluting Whitney Houston. #AMAs
