“We were looking to deliver a ground breaking duet performance for the fans of both artists. Holograms are new technology that take time to perfect, and we believe with artists of this iconic caliber, it must be perfect. Whitney’s legacy and her devoted fans deserve perfection.”

In the leaked footage Houston and Aguilera performed a medley of the late singer’s hits, including ‘I'm Every Woman’ and ‘I Have Nothing’. “After closely viewing the performance, we decided the hologram was not ready to air,” Pat Houston continued.

”We have much respect and appreciation for Christina, and she was absolutely flawless.” After debuting on ‘The Voice’ the hologram was reportedly then set to perform its own headlining show later this year.
