Christina Aguilera celebrated the 25th anniversary of her debut album with a special performance at the Spotify studio in Los Angeles, USA, where she sang her biggest hits, including “Genie In a Bottle”.
During the session, the young singer Sabrina Carpenter joined her, confessing to being a huge fan of Aguilera since she was a child, revealing that her voice had been an inspiration for her own musical career.
“I’m freaking out! […] I think the first time I heard your voice was – my mom, thanks to my mom, showed me a video of you singing at eight years old, ‘A Sunday Kind of Love’. And that was the most inspiring thing for me as a young girl who wanted to sing but didn’t know she could do it at that age, and definitely couldn’t do that… But you were just a child. It was the main reason I started singing and wanted to become a singer. So, I am very grateful.”
Additionally, the two artists performed a duet of “What a Girl Wants,” which generated significant buzz on social media. Many internet users praised Aguilera, saying that her performance overshadowed Carpenter’s. “Everyone is a good singer until they have to go toe to toe with the real pros,” one user wrote.
