LEONA LEWIS suffered a bout of nerves at a MTV Video Music Award afterparty on Sunday (07Sep08) - because she could see her idol CHRISTINA AGUILERA in the front row.
The Bleeding Love hitmaker was able to keep her nerves under control as she stepped onstage at the televised VMA ceremony to duet with Lil Wayne in front of millions of viewers.
But the star-struck 23-year-old panicked at a post-VMA bash later in the evening when she was told Aguilera would be watching her up-close.
She says, "I was more nervous at the aftershow party. I was performing and the place was full of celebrities.
"Just before I was due to go on the organiser came over and said, 'Christina Aguilera has asked to sit in the front row as she wants to see you and there is Paris, Mischa Barton...' I must have looked like I was panicking as my assistant pulled me away!"

Awww, Leona should be nervous. Christina was probably staring daggers into her. lol, JK. Leona is so sweet and she should really see it as a compliment that the best vocalist of our generation requested to sit front row. <3

Duet please. Two of the best voices of this era.

Talent recognising talent <3

Christina & Leona :heart:

This story is as fake as it gets.

LMAO, that's possible.

IKR?

Leona's so sweet!

i really really hope leona keeps this attitude. so succesful and talented but at the same time so simple and nice.

Cool I'm glad her and Christina are friendz!

Mind if ask you what's your concept of friendship? LOL

You think so? I think I would find it strange someone would go through all the trouble to make up a story about Leona having stage fright at a party she performed at, which Christina did actually attend

Liking somone obviously, I'm best friends with Leona, Christina, Alicia, Mariah.. didn't you know?

The story looks pretty real to me.
