They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and not a truer word was spoken (or sung?) when Christina Aguilera appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and did her best Britney impersonation.
Fallon encouraged the impersonation with a round of his Wheel of Musical Impressions game.“How it works is we’re gonna take turns hitting this button here, which activates the musical impressions generator,” the funnyman explained. “It will land on one random singer that one of us can do an impression of and then one random song title… Whoever’s turn it is has to do an impression of that musician doing that song.”
The second time round, Christina landed on her former pop-rival, Britney Spears. “Britney Spears? You know Britney Spears, right?” Fallon questioned. “Lil’ bit,” Aguilera responded with a smile. “Lil’ bit.”
The 34-year-old singer did an epic impersonation of her former Mickey Mouse Club costar as she sang ‘This little piggy’ to the tune of Britney’s first hit single “Hit me Baby”.
