Live performances

criticism
Woohoo was recorded mixed by music critics, Minaj's guest contribution and Aguilera's singing were praised. Many critics have noticed similarities to Keli's hit Milkshake . The sexual content of the song was criticized. Sara D. Anderson of AOL Music said the "provocative dancehall piece creates a successful combination of Aguilera's powerful voice with Minaj's MC tactics". Benjamin Boles from Now Magazine called the track the best track on the album Bionic and commented that Minaj's guest post saved the song. Alexis Petridis from The Guardian said "If you're going to do a five-minute song about cunnilingus, it's a good idea to enlist foul-mouthed rapper Nicki Minaj, whose bug-eyed contribution lends the proceedings an air of gripping abandon". Chris Ryan of MTV Buzzworthy described the title as "a funky sexual pop club number" and continued "In Nicki Minaj Aguilera found the perfect partner for her erotic pop adventures". He continued to refer to the title as the "dirty cousin of Rihanna's Rude Boy and Hollaback Girl ".
Becky Bain of Idolator said, "If there's one person who can take Aguilera's indecency it's Nicki Minaj, so these two are the perfect couple for this type of song."
Charts
Although the piece wasn't an official single, just promo and download single, it entered the charts. In the first week after its release, Woohoo debuted at number 46 on the Canadian Hot 100 and 79 on the American Billboard Hot 100 . Both placements were the worst of her career for Aguilera in the United States and Canada . In the second week, the single fell off the charts. Due to stronger download sales after Aguilera's live appearance at the MTV Movie Awards 2010 and the release of Bionoic , the song rose again to the Billboard Hot 100 at number 99.
