Christina Aguilera slipped into an incredible third outfit of the night as she took to the stage for a duet with Christian Nodal at the 23rd Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas‘Â Michelob ULTRA Arena on Thursday night.Â
 Seemingly inspired by West Side Story, Aguilera and Nodal performed an inspiring version of the Ranchera-style song Cuando Me Dé la Gana in Spanish, beginning on opposite sides of the stage.
With traditional Spanish-style guitar picking kicking off the intro to the song, the performance began with a party atmosphere on the stage, which was packed with accompanying musicians and dancers.Â
After the camera made its way through the crowd, Aguilera, 41, went into the opening line of the song dressed in a sequined black jumpsuit with matching stiletto boots and her platinum tresses flowing down her shoulders while wearing a black hat.
The focus then shifted to Nodal, 23, who was the other side of the stage decked out in black leather pants, a matching vest over a green shirt and a cowboy hat, for the second line of the song.
The two singers then proceeded to show off their powerful vocals by trading line for line throughout the first verse as the acoustic guitar playing was blended perfectly with the horn section.

At one point during the middle of the performance, Aguilera stepped up the intensity and showed off her trademark vocal delivery of sustaining high notes, with a healthy dose of charisma.
She would drive home some more high-notes towards the end of the song, which seemed to get a reaction from the live audience.
They both commanded the stage by moving around, in between dancers and musicians, all while still belting out their vocals.
The Xtina star ended the performance with another one of her signature riffs, before tipping her hat to Nodal, who closed out the song, which tells the story of a woman taking charge in her relationship.Â
