CHRISTINA AGUILERA BIOGRAPHY |

Christina Maria Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American
pop singer and ex-Mouseketeer who rose to fame in the late 1990s
with her debut hit song Genie in a Bottle.
She was born in Staten Island, New York, USA.
Her first song recorded was in Japan, but she only caught the
attention of Americans when she released the song reflection for
the Disney animated production of Mulan. The video clip featured
a young Christina with a bob hair cut, who did not know what was
ahead of her young career.
Catering to the fresh pop sound that was popular of the era, her
career is still going strong in the year 2002, although her
image has become increasingly sexual.
In the year 2000 she emphasized her Latino heritage, following
the Latino trend of the time, by releasing her first Latin album,
Mi Reflejo. At this time she claimed to have been learning
Spanish.
By the year 2002, however, her previously heralded vocals were
much overlooked as she began to change her fresh, youthful image
into that of a highly sexualized woman with hip-hop and porn-star
influences. The video for her 2002 single Dirrty featured her
writhing with members of both sexes including a female-only
shower scene in which she was wearing only a thong and a bra.
She claimed that releasing her first song had consequently
catagorised her into the clean, squeaky, pop tart range and was
not her. She added that she felt suffocated, and deliberately
escaped from the media to return later on as herself, and
expressing her voice.
The Dirrty video also made the news when the government of
Thailand banned the video from national television, because a
pair of posters that appear in the background of the boxing ring
advertise, in Thai language, the sex tourism and underage girls
of Thailand. The producers and director of the video claimed to
be ignorant of the meaning of the posters. She is currently
banned from entering Thailand as it offended the Thai people.
Her 2nd official English speaking album, Stripped, was ranked
one of the worst albums to have been released by many charts,
but fans beg to differ. Stripped features many interludes, one
before the track, Infatuation, which features her speaking
fluent Spanish.
Aguilera's voice has been complemented with brilliance several
times, and even in comparison to diva, Mariah Carey. |
