Christina Aguilera doesn't just have The Voice—she has the voices!

After attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in L.A. Sunday, the veteran coach stopped by Studio 6-B in New York City to tape NBC's The Tonight Show Monday. While there, Aguilera agreed to play "Wheel of Musical Impressions" with host Jimmy Fallon. They took turns pushing a button, activating a generator that randomly selected a musician and a song title. "Don't be nervous," Fallon, 40, told the pop diva, 34.

The Roots backed Aguilera and Fallon during each round.

Aguilera kicked things off by doing an impression of Cher singing the Folgers Coffee jingle. "I gotta get my Cher on," she said. Spending time with the music legend on the set of Burlesque must have paid off, because the six-time Grammy Award winner nailed the number. "That was so stupid," she said, laughing.

For Fallon's first turn, he sang "Grand Old Flag" as David Bowie.

Aguilera howled with laughter when the generator revealed that she had to sing "Miss Little Piggy" as Britney Spears, her former Mickey Mouse Club co-star. "You know Britney Spears, right?" Fallon asked.

"A little bit," she said, still giggling. "A little bit."

In the vein of "...Baby One More Time," Aguilera channeled her pop peer perfectly.

(In 2003, Spears confessed to Diane Sawyer that she envied Aguilera's talents. "Do I like my voice? Um, I think my voice is—oh, I'll be completely honest: I think my voice is OK," she admitted during a Primetime special. "I would love to have a voice like Christina. I would love to have a voice like Whitney Houston.")

Fallon gave the "Genie in a Bottle" singer a standing ovation. "Oh, my God! That is something I've always wanted! That is amazing. I loved that so much!" the former Saturday Night Live star gushed. "That was fantastic. Hard to top that, but I'll try." Fallon then performed "Itsy Bitsy Spider" as Michael McDonald.

For the final round, Aguilera sang the Golden Girls theme song as Shakira. "I go to sleep to that song every night. Oh, my god. I love that song," she said before singing in the vein of "Whenever, Wherever."

Fallon joined Aguilera midway through, reprising his McDonald impression.

During the episode, Aguilera also opened up about her 6-month-old daughter Summer Rutler and her 7-year-old son Max Bratman. "She's a gem," the singer said of her mini-me, though she's already noticed there are differences in raising a boy and a girl. "There is a big sensitivity level. It takes a little while longer...to calm her down. She's a girl. She's more emotional. It takes her forever to quiet back down."

Still, Aguilera cooed, "She's the best."

As for her son, Aguilera said, "He gives me a heart attack. He comes home and he's like, 'Mom, I want to take parkour lessons.' I'm like, 'What is parkour?'...I had to figure it out, but it's kind of like—do you guys know American Ninja Warrior? I'm kind of obsessed with it...I love it, but I don't love it for him. I'm going to put him in gymnastics or something so he can focus and be good at maintaining his monkey abilities. He's crazy. He's like a little monkey." Aguilera also added, "He's so into being a daredevil. He literally is."

Aguilera also dished on her return to The Voice, saying, "Every time I come back it gets easier and easier because they've got the routine down...It's a good time. I just sit there and laugh all day and listen to their potty humor and dirty jokes. Thank God I can roll with it. It's like having two grown babies as well."
