Christina Aguilera 1














Some Backround Info:

Christina Maria Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is a four-time Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award-winning American pop singer-songwriter. She was signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection" for the film Mulan. She came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera (1999), which was a critical and commercial success. A Latin Pop album Mi Reflejo, and a Christmas album, My Kind of Christmas, followed during this period and also sold strongly.

Aguilera took creative control over her second studio album Stripped (2002), which received mixed reviews and substantial sales. During the album's promotion, her overtly sexual image became the subject of intense criticism and ridicule. Her third studio album Back to Basics (2006) included elements of soul, jazz and blues music. It was released to good sales and positive critical reception. Aguilera's works have earned her five Grammy Awards amongst sixteen nominations, and over 30 million album sales worldwide. As of March 2007, Aguilera has sold a total of 56 million records worldwide (albums and singles).


Not gonna lie. while I think she has a decent voice and is probably the most talented of her little group of pop-tartlets (Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore et al.), I definately appreciate her looks more than her sounds. This is odd because slight blonde girls are generally not my thing. Anyway enjoy (and I will admit her most recent album is pretty decent, LOL).
