Christina Aguilera: Axl Rose Says I’m One Of the Greatest

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has proclaimed Christina Aguilera to be “one of the greatest vocalists of our time,” according to Blender magazine. Speaking to the publication for its November 2006 issue, Aguilera shared the following story from the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, which took place August 31 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City: “Axl Rose was backstage in the greenroom at the VMAs, right near my glam squad, and I heard that he made everyone in the room quiet down so he could hear my performance. When I met him backstage, he shook my hand and said, ‘You are one of the greatest vocalists of our time’. Isn’t that sweet? Because in my day, Guns N’ Roses were, like ‘it.'”
