Xtina did Etta proud.

Christina Aguilera sang at Saturday's memorial service at an L.A. church for the late Etta James -- crooning the legendary blues' singer's classic "At Last" for hundreds of mourners. (Stevie Wonder sang with the church choir, while Rev. Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy.)

In photos of Aguilera's incredible tribute to James -- who passed away Jan. 20 -- fans noticed odd streaks running down her legs.

"She sang her heart out. It was a memorial service for her idol and she was nervous," an insider explains to Us of the performance. (Aguilera, 31, has been covering "At Last" for years and called James "a true gift to music and a woman of great spirit and courage" on her website after James' death."

"It was her proudest moment," the source explains. "The sweat caused her spray tan to streak."

O! M! G! I don't even want to think about what that is. I can hardly think of anything that could be more embarrassing or humiliating.

I am not criticizing her in anyway, I am a fan of Christina without a doubt, but I can only ask myself I know she had to feel it running down her leg, why not excuse yourself for a moment... U dont have to stop singing, just walk out of sight while still singing have an asisstant or someone clean u up & go backout... just saying

If that's sweat, then why isn't the rest of her sweating?

Not only is Cristina one of the Best singers in the World, Now she can be seen as Very Human. Can you imagine what it would be like singing at a funeral for her "Idol" Miss Etta, all the while knowing in her head that "oh hell NO I just got my period"?(smile Christina just smile")She is a Lady!

It's like she;s having her period and forgot to put on her tampon

Nobody needs spray tan there. Even if it were, it would have had to have been applied while she was undressed. How long was she dressed before this happened? It would have been absorbed by her clothing or already succumbed to gravity long before. It's simply impossible for this to be spray tan. It was menstrual blood. Deal with it.

your real mature mike. grow up.

Screw you Courtney Noble. You prolly had your period when you got eaten out and the guy never talked to you again.

She started her period you fools. It is a natural thing and she forgot her panties and tampax.
February 04, 2012 - 9:12am Courtney Noble
giver her a break! shes singing her heart out, and all you people can do is ridicule her.

Her spray tan sweating away takes nothing away from her wonder performance in honor of Etta. She has been blessed with a wonder voice and talent. She is still my top pick as the most talented and lovely ladies in the music business today.

I would not concern myself about the leak would give her a warm towel and and thank her for being at funeral and singing her best to show her love and respect for etta. Be compassionate and kind and supportive be a friend!!! This girl has a beautiful voice and can sing like Angels. I think she looks lovely.

"February 02, 2012 - 2:15pm Anthony Douglas Have any of you had a spray tan before? FYI IT HAPPENS!!! Try getting a spray tan and going to the gym and being male...it looks like a man period...get over yourself people...I do have to agree with a lot of you that her choice of attire was clearly inappropriate" You can't be a man and get a spray tan before you go to the gym. She probably ate at a taco truck before the service.

Aww. I feel bad for her. That definitely looks like sweat and a spray tan running down her leg. Poor Christina. :(
