"Christina Aguilera has said that when she heard Katie Stevens singing &amp;#039;Beautiful&amp;#039; on last night&amp;#039;s American Idol finale she briefly wondered if it was a recording of herself.  The 17-year-old took to the stage alongside the other female finalists to perform a medley of that track and Aguilera&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Fighter&amp;#039; before the singer joined them on stage with a rendition of her new single &amp;#039;You Lost Me&amp;#039;. Speaking on Ryan Seacrest&amp;#039;s KIIS-FM show, she said: &amp;quot;When that one contestant came on and did, &amp;#039;I am beautiful&amp;#039;, I was like, &amp;#039;Is that me, real quick, on the record?!&amp;#039;  &amp;quot;She did so good! I told her - because she was talking about how she grew up listening to me - that I could tell because you did a fantastic job. I was really blown away.&amp;quot;  The star continued to say that it was &amp;quot;magical&amp;quot; for her to see the contestants interpreting her work, saying: &amp;quot;Especially that song (&amp;#039;Beautiful&amp;#039;) in particular, it&amp;#039;s all about individuality and bringing your own voice to the table and feeling proud of yourself. I had no words of advice for them, I just thought they were so great on their own. &amp;quot;During the rehearsal they were a foot away from me and I was watching them. I was so proud of them, they were so beautiful.&amp;quot;  Last night&amp;#039;s show saw Lee DeWyze crowned the ninth winner of American Idol while Crystal Bowersox scooped second place.
