'I guess the big hair paid off!' joked Christina. 'Oh, my god, you guys. I wanted one so bad. Thanks to Paul Hunter for making an incredible video. Trish Somerville for designing the whole video. You did a great job. Who else, who else? Tina Landon, the choreographer.' Christina Aguilera was interviewed with Lil' Kim, and Pink on the Video Music Awards red carpet where they were asked if they'd work together again. Christina said, 'Of course, this is the closest I get to be in a girl group.' Christina continued, 'I can honestly say that I was going to be utterly disappointed if I didn't win something with the girls. I am so proud of this video. It was so much fun - we had a blast. Honestly this is the most fun video I've ever made.' Pop's diva dream team stuck together all night long. Arriving in one limo, the ladies interviewed together, sat together (right behind VMA vanguard winners U2) and presented together for Best Male Video. The femme fab four even partied together, only splitting up the gang in the wee hours of the morning at a VMA after-party. When MTV's red carpet reporter Chris Connelly asked them how they would split up the moonman if they won, Christina joked, 'They better give us each one of our own!' The 2001 VMAs were held on Thursday, September 6, 2001 in New York City at the Metropolitan Opera House. The show first aired on MTV. - A. Michelle and Al Gomes with
