Christina Aguilera and Jimmy Fallon Go Subway Busking in Disguise, Fooling No One

Commuters passing through New York City’s Rockefeller Center subway station on Thursday were treated to a special concert fromChristina AguileraandJimmy Fallon.

The Grammy-winning singer, 37, and comedian, 43, put on disguises and went undercover for the performance — which was filmed and aired onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Aguilera wore a brown wig, oversized hat, and dark shades for the look, covering herself in a big dress with a denim top and green skirt. Fallon, meanwhile, rocked a long wig, hat, and sunglasses of his own, but upped the ante with a fake goatee.

Of course, no amount of costuming could hide Aguilera’s voice. The songstress was immediately recognizable when she opened her mouth, belting a cover of Aretha Franklin’s 1968 soul classic “Think” (with Fallon on the banjo).

Crowds soon formed around the pair. By the song’s end, they were met with a sea of applause — perfect timing as Fallon was happy to finally reveal their true identities.

“We’d like to do one more song for you if you don’t mind right here,” Fallon said. “First we’d like to introduce ourselves, my name is Jimmy Fallon and this is Christina Aguilera. Welcome to New York City and welcome to the subway!”

“It’s so hot in here, oh my God,” Aguilera lamented.

The duo then sang a cover of Aguilera’s 2002 bop “Fighter.” Aguilera later appeared in studio onThe Tonight Showand performed her latest single, “Fall in Line.”

This isn’t the first time Fallon has subway busked with top music talent. Aguilera’sVoiceco-coach Adam Levine had previously participated in a similar segment with Fallon back in November, while anotherVoicealum —Miley Cyrus— kicked off the bit in January 2017.
