Christina Maria Aguilera (born December 18 1980,
in Staten Island, New York), colloquially known as
Xtina, is an United States|American popular music
singer and songwriter. She is most often
recognized by her notable vocal abilities and
unorthodox fashion sense. Her vocal skills have
been compared to those of singers such as Mariah
Carey and Whitney Houston, and she is one of the
most prominent recording artists of her
generation. She has achieved four number-one
singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as
two top five albums and four Grammy Awards in the
United States.

==Biography==

===Early years===
Aguilera grew up mainly in the Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh suburb of Wexford,
Pennsylvania, after living in various places
around the world. Her father, Fausto Aguilera, is
a United States Army|U.S. Army sergeant of
Ecuadorian descent, and her mother, Shelly Loraine
Fidler (now known as Shelly Kearns), is a Spanish
translator from Newfoundland and
Labrador|Newfoundland, Canada, and of remote Irish
ethnicity|Irish descent. Aguilera's parents met
while Fausto was serving at Earnest Harmon Air
Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland and
Labrador.

Since Aguilera was able to talk, she set a goal to
become a professional singer. As a child she
performed at block parties and in talent
competitions — defeating opponents with
little effort. Aguilera soon gained media
attention, and was known to some as "the little
girl with the big voice".

On March 15 1990, she appeared on Star Search
singing Ella Fitzgerald's Sunday Kind Of Love, but
failed to win. Soon after losing on Star Search,
she returned home and appeared on Pittsburgh's
KDKA-TV's "Wake Up with Larry Richert" to perform
the same song again.  Later on, she would sing
"Vision Of Love", Mariah Carey's first single, and
astonished everybody in attendance by hitting
every riff and note, including Carey's trademark
whistle register note.  People remarked that the
then-ten year old "sounded twenty".

Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang
"The Star-Spangled Banner" before Pittsburgh
Steelers American Football|football and Pittsburgh
Pirates baseball games. Her first major role in
entertainment came in 1993 when she joined the
Disney Channel's variety show The New Mickey Mouse
Club. Her co-stars included Britney Spears, as
well as Justin Timberlake, Joshua Scott Chasez|JC
Chasez (who went on to join *NSYNC) and Keri
Russell (who would go on to become the star  of
Felicity). 

Aguilera's first hit single was "All I Wanna Do",
which was a collaborative effort recorded in Japan
with Japanese pop sensation Keizo Nakanishi. In
1997, Aguilera competed in an international
singing contest at the Golden Stag Festival in
Transylvania, Romania, where she shared the stage
with Sheryl Crow and Diana Ross. In 1998, after
proving herself as a singer with a high, powerful
chest voice, singing the High "E" note an octave
above middle "C" on a cover of Whitney Houston's
"I Wanna Run to You" which she recorded with an
old tape recorder in her bathroom, she was
selected to perform the song "Reflection" for the
The Walt Disney Company|Disney animated production
of Mulan (1998 in film|1998). The music video
promoting the film featured a young Aguilera with
bobbed hair. It was her first music video.
"Reflection" peaked at number fifteen on the Adult
Contemporary Singles Chart. The song was nominated
for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song
for a Motion Picture in 1998.

===Christina Aguilera: debut===

seemain|Christina Aguilera (album)

Under the exclusive representation of Steve Kurtz
(music manager)|Steve Kurtz, her self-titled
album, Christina Aguilera (album)|Christina
Aguilera, was released on August 24 1999. It
reached the top of the Billboard 200 and Canadian
album charts, selling over eight million copies in
the United States alone. It was released the same
week as Puff Daddy's long-awaited second album
Forever, and showed Aguilera's instant rise to
fame by beating him to the number one spot. "Genie
in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come on
Over (All I Want is You)" all reached the top of
the Billboard Hot 100 during 1999 and 2000, and "I
Turn to You" peaked at number three. However,
Aguilera did not only enjoy commercial success; it
became obvious that the industry thought she had
talent when she won for Best New Artist at the
2000 Grammy Awards. She was also nominated for
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Genie in a
Bottle". "Obvious", the final track of the album
was one of the original demo tracks that was sent
to Ron Fair before Christina was signed with
Aguilera's record label, RCA Records|RCA.

In 2000, Aguilera first emphasized her Latino
heritage, following the Latino trend of the time,
by releasing her first Spanish-language album, Mi
Reflejo. This album contained Spanish-language
versions of songs from her English debut as well
as new Spanish tracks. It reached twenty-seven on
the Billboard 200 and number one on the Latin
album charts. In 2001, the album won Christina a
Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal
Album. The single "Falsas Esperanzas" from the
album reached the top forty in Argentina in 2001.
Ricky Martin asked her to duet with him on the
track "Nobody Wants to be Lonely" from his album
Sound Loaded; the song was released as the second
single from the album in 2001, reaching the top
five in the United Kingdom and Germany, top twenty
in the U.S., and top forty in Canada, Switzerland,
and Australia.

===Just Be Free: unauthorized material===
seemain|Just Be Free


In 2000, a single emerged into record stores
called "Just Be Free", one of the demos Aguilera
recorded when she was about 15 years old. When RCA
| RCA Records discovered the single, they
officially advised fans not to purchase it and had
Germany|German authorities pull the single off
shelves as well. Months later, Warlock Records was
set to release Just Be Free; an album which
contains the demo tracks.

Aguilera filed a breach of contract and
unfair-competition suit against Warlock and the
album's producers to block the release. Instead,
the two parties came to a settlement to release
the album. Aguilera lent out her name, likeness
and image for an unspecified amount of damages.
Many of the details of the lawsuit remain
confidential. When the album was released on
August 21 2001, it had a photograph of Christina
when she was fifteen years old.

===Change in management===

Although Aguilera's album was very well received,
she was dissatisfied with the music and image her
management had created for her. At the time,
Aguilera was marketed as a bubblegum pop artist,
because of the genre's upward financial trend.
However, she publicly mentioned plans of her next
album to have much more depth, both musically and
lyrically. Steve Kurtz's influence in matters of
the singer's creative direction, the role of being
her exclusive personal manager and overscheduling
has in part caused her to seek legal means of
terminating their management contract. 

On October 13 2000 Aguilera filed a Breach of
Fiduciary Duty lawsuit against Kurtz for improper,
undue and inappropriate influence over her
professional activities, as well as fraud.
According to legal documents, Kurtz did not
protect her rights and interests. Instead, he took
action that was for his own interest, at the cost
of hers. The lawsuit came about when Aguilera
discovered Kurtz used more of her
commission|commissionable income than what he was
allotted, and had paid other managers to assist
him. She also petitioned the California State
Labor Commission to nullify the contract.

When she terminated Kurtz's services, Irving Azoff
was hired as her new manager. The change in
management marked a new change in how Aguilera was
marketed, as well as what music she would do in
the future.

Kurtz countersued on October 27 for breach of
contract, claiming that the singer violated the
same agreement she had  sued to void. In the
lawsuit, he included others close to Aguilera,
alleging their intent to sabotage his business
relationship with Aguilera. He also singled out
Azoff for being in violation of the terms of
Kurtz's contract.

===Stripped: career development===




On October 29, 2002, after much delay, Aguilera's
second full-length English album, Stripped (2002
album)|Stripped, was released in the U.S. The
album was not received as well as her debut by
most critics. The majority of Stripped was
co-written by Aguilera, was about eighty minutes
long, and influenced by many different subjects
and music styles. "Impossible", a collaboration
with Alicia Keys, is a jazz-inspired song about
someone who is trying to get through to one who is
quiet and withdrawn. "Soar" is a gospel
music|gospel-inspired song about becoming
self-reliant. Aguilera's most emotionally
challenging song on the album could possibly be
"I'm OK". This track chronicles in detail how
Aguilera was domestic abuse|abused as a young
child by her father, and she thanks her mother for
her love through that time in her life.

However, Aguilera's vocals were much overlooked as
she began to cultivate a more sexually provocative
image. After the release of the album, she took
part in photo shoots for magazines such as Maxim
(magazine)|Maxim, Rolling Stone and Cosmopolitan
(magazine)|Cosmo Girl. Many of these photographs
featured her nude or semi-nude. She denied that
this change was a matter of publicity, claiming
that the image better reflected her true
personality than did the image she cultivated back
in 1999.

Initially, the raunchy image had a negative effect
on Aguilera in the U.S. While the video for
"Dirrty" became a huge hit on MTV, it stalled at a
disappointing forty-eight on the Hot 100 and
quickly fell off the singles chart. However, the
song was a huge hit worldwide, reaching number one
in several countries and on the World Chart. The
album entered the U.K. and U.S. album charts at
number two, and at number three in Canada, where
they all ultimately peaked. Despite going
double-platinum in the U.S. after only eight weeks
on the chart, the album began to drop quickly with
nothing but Aguilera's star power to back it up.
The second single, "Beautiful", was quickly
released in the U.S. in late 2002. It instantly
became a huge radio hit and allowed three more
hits to be released from the album in the
following two years: "Fighter", "Can't Hold Us
Down", and "The Voice Within". The success of
subsequent singles off the album gave Stripped
massive staying power, as it stayed on the album
charts well into 2004. This staying power was
demonstrated most effectively in the UK, where the
album remained consistently in the top twenty
album charts between late 2002 and late 2004.
Stripped went on to ship four million copies in
the U.S. and ended up at number ten on Billboard
magazine|Billboard's Year-End Album Chart. The
album also went quadruple platinum in Australia
despite only reaching a peak of number seven,
again a reflection of its consistency between late
2002 and 2004. Kelly Clarkson's first single 'Miss
Independent' was cowritten by Aguilera, and was
originally supposed to be a song on Stripped.

===The Stripped tours===

In early 2003, Aguilera aroused much commentary
when she gained a noticeable amount of weight.
Unflattering photographs of her flabby midsection
spilling out of her conventionally skimpy costumes
were circulated. She was quoted as saying, "I
couldn't care less about stupid diets. Eating is
sensual and fun. I'm not going to let it be
spoiled by calorie-counting." Later, she gave the
reason for her weight gain as preparation for her
upcoming Summer tour.

On June 4, Aguilera joined Justin Timberlake on
the final leg of his international "Justified"
tour, held in the U.S. This portion of the tour
became a co-headliner called the "Justified &
Stripped" tour. On August 9, an overhead lighting
grid collapsed from the ceiling of the Boardwalk
Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, causing major
damage to the sound and video equipment below.
Since the collapse occurred hours before the
performance, only a few stagehands were injured.
As a result, a few shows were canceled or
postponed. In the fourth quarter of that year,
Aguilera continued to tour internationally without
Timberlake, and changed the name of the tour to
simply the "Stripped" tour. Meanwhile, she dyed
her hair black. The tour was one of the
top-grossing tours of that year, as it sold out
most of its venues. It also was named by Rolling
Stone readers as the best tour of the year. 

In light of the tour's success, another U.S. tour
was scheduled to begin in mid-2004 with a new
theme and featuring Chingy as an opening act. The
tour was scrapped due to Aguilera's vocal chord
injuries suffered shortly before its opening date.
It was later reported by The Sun tabloid that low
ticket sales and lack of new material were
actually the major factors in the tour's
cancellation. Aguilera has since denied the
report.

===Post-Stripped events===

In a tribute to Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna's
performance at the inaugural MTV Video Music
Awards' ceremony, Aguilera performed a
much-publicized lesbian kiss with the
singer-actress at the 2003 edition of the ceremony
on August 28. The incident occurred during the
opening performance of Madonna's songs "Like a
Virgin" and "Hollywood"; however, it was
overshadowed by the kiss between Madonna and
Britney Spears during the same performance.

Aguilera met new controversy in late 2003 by
viciously criticizing other bubblegum pop|teen-pop
performers. In the December 2003 issue of Blender
(magazine)|Blender magazine, she is quoted as
saying: "Look at people like Beyoncé
Knowles|Beyoncé or Britney. They're desperate to
come across as sweet, good little girls, but then
you see them in photo shoots that are extremely
sexual — tight little booty shorts, and not
much else. So why do they try to be virginal in
interviews?" Concerning Spears, Aguilera claimed,
"These people aren't artists; they're just
performers — fake and superficial... I was
up for kissing Britney, but Britney wasn't. She
was... she seemed very distant, even during
rehearsals. Every time I tried to start a
conversation with her — well, let's just say
she seemed nervous the whole time. I wanted to
reach out to her, because I feel she needs
somebody in her life right now to help guide her."

A January 2004, ZOO Magazine (a Denmark|Danish
men's magazine) article reported that Aguilera is
possibly bisexuality|bisexual. The article quotes
her stating in an interview: "I find it hornier
looking at women then men. Sorry, I love
experimenting with my sexuality. If that means
girls, then so be it." The article also reports
that Christina enjoys casual sex. "I have casual
sex, I love casual sex. But that doesn't mean I'm
incapable of keeping my legs together", Aguilera
is quoted as saying. Because of the tabloid nature
of articles in ZOO. the factual accuracy of the
article is dubious.

Aguilera hosted Saturday Night Live on February
21, 2004, and participated in various parody skits
such as "Do You Know Who My Father Is?" which
lampoons Win Ben Stein's Money, and a skit
parodying the movie You Got Served. Her dead-on
impersonation of Kim Cattrall's Sex and the City
character, Samantha, was also praised.

Aguilera later decided to embrace a more mature
image; this move was met with more praise than
criticism, with articles using punch lines such as
"From Crass to Class". She eventually dyed her
hair cherry-blonde and recorded a jingle, "Hello",
for a Mercedes-Benz ad, becoming the new face of
Mercedes-Benz. Shortly after, she dyed her hair
blonde and cut it short, and took on a Marilyn
Monroe look; she is believed by many of her fans
to be one of the main proponents (along with Gwen
Stefani and Ashley Judd) in bringing back the old
Hollywood glamour look. 



In late Summer 2004, Aguilera released, almost
consecutively, two singles. The first, "Car Wash",
was taken from the soundtrack of the hit movie
Shark Tale. It is a collaboration with popular
rapper Missy Elliott, and is a cover version of
Rose Royce's disco hit. The second song is also a
collaboration, but this time as a second single
from one of Nelly's double-release albums, Sweat
(album)|Sweat, titled "Tilt Ya' Head Back".
Aguilera appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards to
perform it with him; it was a visually striking
and effective performance in which Aguilera, a la
Judy Garland, started her belting perched atop a
grand piano. Aguilera copied another legendary
look for the video: Marilyn Monroe's. Both singles
flopped commercially in the U.S., but did
considerably better in other parts of the world;
"Tilt" reached number one in a few countries,
including the Philippines. "Tilt Ya' Head Back",
formerly rumored to be "Tilt Cha' Head Back", was
well received in the U.S. at first, but sales
quickly deteriorated mainly due to its lack of
radio appeal and promotion. In spite of its
promotion, "Tilt" recently went platinum in
Australia for selling over 40,000 copies, while
"Car Wash" was certified gold for sales of over
25,000 copies. "Tilt" was later certified gold in
the U.S. by the RIAA in 2005.

After much delay, Aguilera's first DVD
live-recording from a concert tour, Stripped Live
in the UK, was released in November 2004,
excluding her performance of "Make Over", due to
its similarity with the song "Overload" by the
Sugababes. In late December, she officially
released a fragrance, Xpose, which has only been
available in a few European countries.

===Recent events===

After failed relationships with Latin dancer Jorge
Santos (chronicled in her song "Infatuation" from
her sophomore album Stripped) and an unnamed
producer speculated to be Dallas Austin, she
started dating music executive Jordan Bratman.
After dating him for almost three years, their
engagement was announced in February 2005. In an
interview with MTV at an Oscar party, she
announced she would like to have her wedding in
the Winter of 2005.

The VH1 television program|program The Fabulous
Life Of... Christina Aguilera estimated that the
singer has a net worth of between thirty and forty
million United States dollars.

Aguilera recently flew to France and attended a
number of fashion shows. She later appeared on E!
Entertainment and said that she was looking at
wedding dresses, presumably for her wedding. She
was also spotted visiting a doctor's clinic and
leaving with a sling. Rumors speculate that her
injury was due to an attack by an agitated fan in
a night club. This was later denied by her
publicist who said that she had cut two tendons in
her hand in an accident. E! Online reported that
she is now temporarily unable to play the piano,
despite the fact that she is not known for her
piano-playing abilities.

===The future===
future
Aguilera has announced that her third full-length
English album is nearly complete. Similar to
Stripped, the album's feel will be completely
different from previous efforts, focusing more on
her vocal abilities and musical tastes. While
interviewed during a post-Academy Award|Oscar
party, Aguilera described the album as "a retro
blues/jazz/Soul music|soul record, but a really
meaty, gritty, real raw record of soul." She is
also working on her second Spanish album.

She has also shown an interest in becoming an
actress. Although Aguilera has been offered many
projects over the years, she continues to insist
that she is looking for a particular role. She is
said to prefer one similar to those played by
Angelina Jolie. She still avoids roles that
portray herself, or any character resembling her.

Aguilera will appear on rapper Redman's upcoming
album Red Gone Wild as well as renowned jazz
legend Herbie Hancock's Possibilities release,
both due late 2005.

==Voice==
In 2003, Aguilera was voted as having the
third-greatest female voice in music in Blender
Magazine and MTV's countdown of "MTV's 22 Greatest
Voices in Music|The Twenty-Two Greatest Voices in
Music" placed her at number five (beaten by, among
others, Mariah Carey, who came first, and Whitney
Houston, who came second).

==Charity work==
Throughout her career, Aguilera has been involved
with certain charity|charities. Aguilera was the
first celebrity to sign a letter from PETA to the
South Korean government asking that the country
stop its alleged "abuse of dogs and cats killed
for food". Aguilera made major contributions to
the Women's Center & Shelter Of Greater
Pittsburgh. She also contributes in the fight
against AIDS, by participating in AIDS Project Los
Angeles' Artists Against AIDS "What's Going On
(song)|What's Going On?" cover project.
