Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger (PatC's Movin' Mix)



"Moves Like Jagger" is a song by American pop rock band Maroon 5 featuring American pop singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera. It was released as the fourth single for the group's third studio album, Hands All Over (2011). The song was written by Adam Levine, Benjamin Levin, Ammar Malik and Shellback, and was produced by Shellback and Benny Blanco. Musically, "Moves Like Jagger" is a disco-pop and electropop song and is backed by grinding synths and electronic drums. Its lyrics refer to a male's ability to impress a female with his dance moves, which he compares to those of Mick Jagger, frontman for the English band The Rolling Stones.

"Moves Like Jagger" was well-received by music critics, who praised the song's chorus. Points of acclaim also went to the vocals of Levine and Aguilera, with critics pointing out solid chemistry between the two. Likewise, the song was a commercial success, going on to top the charts in 17 countries. In the United States, "Moves Like Jagger" making Maroon 5's first top ten single since "Makes Me Wonder" (2007), as well as Christina Aguilera's first top-ten single since "Keeps Gettin' Better" (2008). It was a commercial success, selling over 5 million copies worldwide since December 2011, therefore establishing itself among the best-selling singles of all time. Aguilera also became the second female to score no. 1 singles in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. Worldwide, it was the ninth best selling digital single of 2011 with sales of 7 million copies.

An accompanying music video for the song was directed by Jonas Ã…kerlund. Released worldwide on August 8, 2011, it features old video footage of Jagger and his iconic dance moves. "Moves Like Jagger" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards. The song was first performed in June 2011 on an episode of The Voice (where Levine and Aguilera both serve as judges/coaches).

In my opinion, Christina Aguilera makes this song and I always thought she deserved more attention in the song then the small part she has. So, here now is my more Christina Aguilera extended version!
