The Espresso singer, while attending the ceremony, recalled what an impact Aguilera had on her when she was a child. Referring to her appearance on Star Search in 1990, when Sabrina was 10 years old, the latter told the So Emotional singer, “I think that was the first time I heard your voice [when] My mom showed me a video of you when you were eight years old, singing ‘A Sunday Kind of Love’.”
During this time, Aguilera performed fan favorite songs by Etta James. Sabrina said, “It was the most inspiring thing I’ve ever seen, something I wanted to see as a young girl but didn’t think I could do at that age,” as reported by People.
Aguilera looked proudly at the Please singer as she performed the former’s song What a Girl Wants, before she picked up her mic to sing the second verse. According to Moves Like Jagger’s recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 25th celebration of his debut album is a way of “bringing the past and the present together.”
