Christina Aguilera

About

Christina María Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality. Known for her four-octave vocal range and ability to sustain high notes, she has been referred to as the “Voice of a Generation”. Her works, which incorporate feminism, sexuality, and domestic violence, have generated both critical praise and controversy, for which she is often cited as an influence by other artists. 

After appearing in several television programs as a child, Aguilera rose to prominence in 1999 with the release of her debut album, Christina Aguilera, through RCA Records. The album spawned three Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles — “Genie in a Bottle”, “What a Girl Wants” and “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” — and earned her the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The album’s musical direction is credited with influencing the revival of teen pop in the late 1990s and early 2000s, while its Spanish-language follow up, Mi Reflejo (2000), is noted for contributing to the 2000s Latin pop boom.

Displeased with the nature of her earlier work, Aguilera assumed artistic control of her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002). The music video for the album’s lead single “Dirrty” sparked controversy for exploring her sexuality, leading to the departure of her teen idol image. However, further singles “Beautiful”, “Fighter” and “Can’t Hold Us Down” became top-ten singles in many countries, and she was named the most successful female artist of 2003.
