Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga had quite an introduction Tuesday night during the star-studded finale of "The Voice."
Although the two musical pop princesses had never met before, they sang alongside one another in matching outfits to perform Gaga's hit "Do What U Want."
"This is the first time we've ever met and I have to say, when I heard she wanted to collaborate I said, 'Of course! Lady Gaga!' I've been waiting to meet her," Aguilera said.

Their duet and the comments that followed seemed to dismiss past feuding rumors between the divas.
"I was really excited because 'The Voice' called and wanted me to perform on the finale and I obviously can't refuse," Gaga said. "It's such an amazing show and I said, 'I'll do it, but I want to know if Christina will do it with me.'"
Their performance was jam-packed with powerhouse vocal skills, dancing, and even a moment when they held hands and Gaga rested her head on Aguilera's chest.

"I've been waiting to meet her," the 33-year-old "Feel This Moment" singer added about Gaga. "She's such an innovative artist and a risk taker, and as a fellow female, I have so much respect for that."
Aguilera continued gushing over her new confidant and said, "She's the most down to earth real person that I've ever met in this business. Female to female in this industry, it's really hard to find that kind of person. I love you girl, and you deserve everything that you've earned."
On the other hand, Aguilera did not earn the coveted title of "The Voice's" winning coach, but despite coming in second to Team Adam's Tessanne Chin, she still had plenty to celebrate in her talented protégé Jacquie Lee, who Gaga also applauded.

"Been catching up on THE VOICE, I love @jacquieleemusic. Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice!" the 27-year-old "Applause" singer tweeted Dec. 13. "Vote for her monsters."
"Wow!! Thank you for the incredible support," Aguilera replied.
It looks like the beginning of their love fest started in September before they hit the stage together, which put to rest the speculations that they were at odds.

"I'm a very big fan of Christina Aguilera," Gaga said on "Watch What Happens Live" on Sept. 12. "From the very beginning of when my career started, there was all this controversy about the two of us. I always felt that it was very unfair."
Aguilera reportedly spouted out snide remarks about Gaga during the early stages of her career in 2008, which were blown out of proportion by fans through social media.
But if Tuesday night's performance was any indication of where the ladies are today, there doesn't seem to be much negativity between the two of them anymore -- if there ever was.
"When I was 15 I was singing 'I Turn to You' at the top of my lungs trying to hit all her notes," Gaga added on the Bravo late-night talk show. "So she was an inspiration to me to have a wider vocal range."
