Back when Grammys truly went to truly talented artists.

[letstalknow]

That's that one epic grammy win that can only happen once in an artist career.

How adorable is she here?! She looked genuinely shocked she won.

She deserved more Grammys for her Back to Basics and Stripped era. Shady scamys

She deserves more grammys. I really hope she gets nods for her new spanish music because it's SO GOOD!

At 0:25, she's saying "Mummy". She was thanking her mother for all those years of support after everything they both went through.

[dezzomajezzo]

That was based on her natural born talent, She really is one of the best singers of all time

[iamtute]

One of the best singers of all time, well deserved Xtina, we luv ya!

[Rankutubuki]

I remember that moment!!! Everyone is expecting Britney Spears to win. But when everyone saw Xtina won. She is truly deserving of that award, with her God given talent. And there is no big question in that. She won based on merit and talent!❤

Best New Artist is a very prestigious Awards because you can get only nominated once.

One of those rare times when the most talented artist nominated in the category did win the award

[jebsengamido]

iconic. she deserves more to be honest. what a great artist and undeniably the best voice out there

[giogonzales]

Legend! Inspired a whole new generation of singers/songwriters. A true visionary who took control of her sound and career! She’s the boss & such a creative genius. Seeing her live in 2018 she gets better with time. So thankful for her! Impacted my life since I was 8 years old. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽❤️❤️❤️

[legitmimifan]

I really adore Christina. This was the moment where she wanted to win Best New Artist because her idol Mariah also won the same award. If these women only get along, we could have iconic collaboration from them. But, they're not really meant to be friends.
