Christina Maria
Aguilera born December 18, 1980) is an American pop and
R&B singer and 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
yet produced 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 numerous awards, most notably, five Grammy
Awards amongst sixteen nominations, and over 30 million
album sales worldwide.
Early life and career: Aguilera was born in
Staten Island, New York, to Fausto Wagner Xavier
Aguilera, a U.S. Army sergeant, and Shelly Loraine
Fidler, a Spanish teacher. Aguilera's father was born in
Guayaquil, Ecuador, while her mother is of Irish and
German descent (her maternal grandparents were born in
Co. Clare, Ireland and immigrated after WW II). Her
father, Fausto, was stationed at Earnest Harmon Air
Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland, Canada.
Aguilera lived with her father and mother until she was
7 years old. When Aguilera's parents divorced, her
mother took her, and her younger sister Rachel, to her
grandmother's home in Rochester, Pennsylvania, a
blue-collar suburb of Pittsburgh. According to both
Aguilera and Fidler, her father was very controlling, as
well as physically and emotionally abusive; she later
wrote about her difficult childhood in the songs,
"I'm OK" in Stripped, and "Oh
Mother" in Back to Basics.Since then, Fidler has
married a paramedic named Jim Kearns, and has changed
her name to Shelly Kearns. Aguilera attended North
Allegheny School District, near the Pittsburgh suburb of
Wexford, Pennsylvania.
As a child, Aguilera aspired to be a singer. Her musical
influences included Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Whitney
Houston, Nina Simone, and Madonna. As a child, she was
known locally as "the little girl with the big
voice".
According to VH1's Driven, this label eventually
backfired on her. When competitors learned they would be
up against her in any given week, they immediately
backed out, prompting insiders to claim it was
"like sending a lamb to the slaughter." Her
peers soon became jealous of her and would frequently
subject her to ridicule, ostracism, and, in one gym
class, attempted assault. Acts of vandalism around her
house included the slashing of the tires on the family
car. Eventually, the family relocated and, by her own
order, swore to secrecy about her talent lest another
backlash occur.
On March 15, 1990, she appeared on Star Search singing
Etta James' "A Sunday Kind of Love", but lost
the competition. 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. People remarked that the then 10-year-old
"sounded 20".
Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang
"The Star-Spangled Banner" before Pittsburgh
Penguins Hockey games, Pittsburgh Steelers 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, Justin Timberlake, JC
Chasez, Rhona Bennett (who later became a member of En
Vogue), Ryan Gosling, and Keri Russell. According to the
documentary Driven, Aguilera's Mickey Mouse Club
co-stars called her "the Diva". One of her
most notable performances was of Whitney Houston's
"I Have Nothing". When the show ended in 1994,
Aguilera began recording demos in an attempt to get
signed to a record label.
At fourteen, Aguilera recorded her first song, "All
I Wanna Do", a hit duet with Japanese singer Keizo
Nakanishi. In 1997, she represented the United States at
the "Golden Stag" International Festival with
a two-song set which included a Sheryl Crow and Diana
Ross song.
1998–2001: Pop music beginnings: In 1998 she
sang the High "E" in full voice (E5) on a
cover of Whitney Houston's "Run to You" which
she recorded with an old tape recorder in her bathroom.
She was then selected to record the song
"Reflection" for the Disney production of
Mulan (1998). Recording "Reflection" led to
Aguilera earning a contract with RCA Records during the
same week. "Reflection" peaked within the top
twenty on the Adult Contemporary Singles Chart, and it
was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for "Best
Original Song" in 1998.
Under the exclusive representation of Steve Kurtz,
Aguilera's self-titled debut album Christina Aguilera
was released in the United States on August 24, 1999. It
reached the top of the Billboard 200 and Canadian album
charts, selling 8 million copies in the U.S. and over
twelve million copies worldwide.
Her singles "Genie in a Bottle", "What a
Girl Wants" and "Come on Over Baby (All I Want
Is You)" topped the Billboard Hot 100 during 1999
and 2000, and "I Turn to You" reached #3.
Aguilera won the "Best New Artist" award at
the 2000 Grammy Awards, and she was nominated for
"Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for
"Genie in a Bottle". According to the album's
songwriters who appeared on the documentary Driven,
Aguilera wanted to display the range and audacity in her
voice during the promotion of the album, and performed
acoustic sets and appeared on television shows
accompanied only by a piano. She ended the year on MTV's
2 Large New Year's Special, as she performed and was
MTV's first artist of the millennium.
Later in 2000 Aguilera first emphasized her Latin
heritage, following the Latin pop trend of the time, by
releasing her first Spanish album, Mi Reflejo on
September 12, 2000. This album contained Spanish
versions of songs from her English debut as well as new
Spanish tracks. It peaked at #27 on the Billboard 200
and number one on the Latin album charts, and in 2001 it
won Aguilera a Latin Grammy Award for "Best Female
Pop Vocal Album". The Album has sold 2.5 million
copies worldwide and has been certified Gold(500,000) in
the USA and 3x Platinum (600,000* Latin album). under
the RIAA's Los Premios de Oro y Platino program. She
also won the World Music Award as the best selling Latin
artist that year. Aguilera also released a Christmas
album on October 24, 2000 called My Kind of Christmas.
It peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200, has sold 1.5
million copies worldwide, and has been certified
Platinum (1 million) in the USA. Ricky Martin asked her
to duet with him on the track "Nobody Wants to Be
Lonely" from his album Sound Loaded; released in
2001 as the album's second single, it reached the top
five in the United Kingdom and Germany, top twenty in
the U.S., and top forty in Canada, Switzerland, and
Australia.
In 2001, Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya, and P!nk were chosen
to remake Patti LaBelle's 1975 single "Lady
Marmalade" for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack.
"Lady Marmalade" hit number one on the Hot 100
for five weeks and reached number one in eleven other
countries, and it earned all four performers a Grammy
Award for "Best Pop Collaboration with
Vocals". Aguilera's appearance in the music video
was compared to that of Twisted Sister frontman Dee
Snider. The video proved to be hit as it won MTV's Video
of the Year in 2001.
That year a single emerged into record stores called
"Just Be Free", one of the demos Aguilera
recorded when she was around fifteen years old. When RCA
Records discovered the single, they advised fans not to
purchase it and had German authorities pull the single
off shelves.
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 in August 2001, it had a
photograph of Aguilera when she was fifteen years old.
Although Aguilera's debut album was very well-received,
she was dissatisfied with the music and image her
management had created for her. Due to the bubblegum pop
trend at the time and the genre's upward financial trend
she was limited. She 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 had in part caused
her to seek legal means of terminating their management
contract.
In October 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
commissionable income than he was allotted, and had paid
other managers to assist him. She also petitioned the
California State Labor Commission to nullify the
contract. After terminating 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 later that month 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. During this time and working
on her sophmore album she revealed that she was betrayed
by several friends, where she hit rock bottom. She used
this as therapy for her upcoming album saying,
"this record saved me from insanity."
2002–2003: Stripped era: On October 29, 2002,
after much delay, Aguilera's second full-length English
album, Stripped, was released selling more than 330,000
copies in the first week and peaking at #2 on the
Billboard 200. The majority of Stripped was co-written
by Aguilera (who had recently signed a global music
publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing), and was
influenced by many different subjects and music styles,
including rhythm and blues, gospel, soul, balladry, pop
rock, hip-hop and jazz. The album was very well-received
by critics although Aguilera's vocals were overlooked as
she began to cultivate a more sexually provocative
image. After the release of the album, she took part in
photoshoots for magazines such as Maxim, Rolling Stone,
and CosmoGirl!. 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. It was during this time
Aguilera referred to herself as "Xtina," even
getting a tattoo of her nickname on the back of her neck
and several piercings.
Initially, the raunchy image had a negative effect on
Aguilera in the U.S., especially after the release of
her controversial "Dirrty" music video. While
the video for "Dirrty" became a huge hit on
MTV, it disappointed on the U.S. singles chart. However,
the single was a huge hit worldwide, reaching number one
in several countries. The album reached the top five on
the UK, U.S. and Canadian album charts, though it was
initially considered a "sophomore slump." The
second single, "Beautiful", became a huge
radio hit and earned her another Grammy for Best Female
Pop Vocal Performance. Three more singles from the album
("Fighter", "Can't Hold Us Down"
featuring Lil' Kim, "The Voice Within") were
released in the following two years and were huge hits
helping the album stay on the charts for the next two
years - "Infatuation" was only released as
single in Spain instead of "The Voice Within".
Stripped stayed on the U.S. and UK album charts until
well into 2004, and went on to be certified 4x Platinum
in the U.S., ending up at number ten on Billboard's
year-end album chart. Kelly Clarkson's second single
"Miss Independent" was co-written by Aguilera,
having been half-finished for Stripped. Stripped is
certified 4x platinum in the US and has sold over ten
million copies worldwide.
In June, 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. In August, 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.
Because the collapse occurred hours before the
performance, only a few stagehands were injured, but a
few shows were cancelled or postponed. In the fourth
quarter of that year, Aguilera continued to tour
internationally without Timberlake, and changed the name
of the tour to the Stripped tour. She also dyed her hair
black. It was one of the top-grossing tours of that
year, and sold out most of its venues. Rolling Stone
readers named it the best tour of the year. By the end
of the year she became the muse and model for fashion
house Versace. She also topped Maxim's Hot 100 list.
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 because of Aguilera's vocal cord injuries
suffered shortly before its opening date. It was later
reported by the British tabloid newspaper The Sun that
low ticket sales and lack of new material were actually
the major contributing factors in the tour's
cancellation. Aguilera has since denied the report. In a
tribute to Madonna's performance at the inaugural MTV
Video Music Awards' ceremony, Aguilera performed a kiss
with the singer-actress at the 2003 edition of the
ceremony in August. The incident occurred during the
opening performance of Madonna's songs "Like a
Virgin" and "Hollywood" with fellow
popstar Britney Spears.
2004–2005: Post-Stripped activities and transition:
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. The single was originally going to be
released to advertise 'Mercedes-Benz' but it was never
pulled through as she had already started working on new
material. Shortly after, she dyed her hair blonde and
cut it short, and took on a Marilyn Monroe look; many of
her fans believe she is one of the main proponents
(along with Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani, the Puppini
Sisters and Ashley Judd) in bringing back the
1920s-1940s Hollywood glamour look.
In the run-up to the 2004 United States presidential
election, Aguilera was featured on billboards for the
"Only You Can Silence Yourself" online voter
registration drive run by the nonpartisan, non-profit
campaign "Declare Yourself". In these
political advertisements, shot by David LaChapelle,
Aguilera was shown with her mouth sewn shut, to
symbolize the effects of not voting. She appeared on The
Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss the importance of voting.
In late summer 2004 Aguilera released two singles. The
first, "Car Wash", was a remake of the Rose
Royce disco song recorded as a collaboration with rapper
Missy Elliott for the soundtrack to the film Shark Tale.
The second song is also a collaboration, but this time
as a second single from one of Nelly's double-release
albums, Sweat, titled "Tilt Ya Head Back".
Both singles failed commercially in the U.S., but did
considerably better in other parts of the world. After
much delay, Aguilera's first DVD live-recording from a
concert tour, Stripped Live in the UK, was released in
November 2004. In late December she officially released
a fragrance, Xpose, which has only been available in a
few European countries.
Aguilera collaborated with jazz artist Herbie Hancock on
a cover of Leon Russell's "A Song for You"
recorded for Hancock's album Possibilities, released in
August 2005. Aguilera and Hancock were later nominated
for the Grammy Award for "Best Pop Collaboration
with Vocals". Aguilera went back to her Mickey
Mouse Club roots when she helped open the 50th
Anniversary for Disneyland by performing "When You
Wish upon a Star", and she also collaborated with
Andrea Bocelli on the song "Somos Novios" for
his album Amore, released in early 2006. She performed
at "Unite of the Stars" charity banquet in
Johannesburg, South Africa in late 2005 with stars such
as Diana Ross and Westlife in aid of Unite Against
Hunger, and she also performed at the Nelson Mandela
Children's Fund at the Coca-Cola Dome in November.
2006–present: Back to Basics: In March 2006,
Aguilera signed a contract with European cell phone
operator Orange to promote the new Sony Ericsson Walkman
phone. She was featured in a Pepsi commercial alongside
Lebanese singer Elissa, as well as Korean pop singer
Rain in May. The spot aired during the 2006 World Cup.
She posed nude for a Marilyn Monroe-inspired photoshoot
in the May 2006 issue of GQ magazine. She also granted
the magazine an interview in that issue, in which she
expressed disappointment in fellow singer Mariah Carey,
saying, "She was never cool to me... to the point
that one time we were at a party, and I think she got
really drunk, and she had just really derogatory things
to say to me." In response, Carey issued a press
release saying, "It is sad yet predictable that she
would use my name at this time to reinvent past
incidents for her promotional gain." Aguilera then
released her own statement claiming, "My intentions
were not to upset Mariah with any statements that were
published or taken out of context. I have all the
respect in the world for her."
Aguilera also posed for a Maxim cover in March 2007. In
it, she is quoted saying, "We had fun working with
certain clothes, or the lack thereof. I never mind
contorting myself for a good cause." and "Some
people like to blend in, I, on the other hand, like to
make a scene".
Aguilera's third English studio album, Back to Basics,
released August 15, 2006, went to #1 in 13 countries.
The critically-acclaimed lead single "Ain't No
Other Man" was a substantial success, reaching #2
on the United World Chart, #6 in the U.S., and the top 3
in the UK. Aguilera described the double CD as "a
throwback to the 20s, 30s, and 40s-style jazz, blues,
and feel-good soul music, but with a modern twist."
To date, the album is the biggest selling double-album
by a female artist. Producers on the album included DJ
Premier, Kwamé, Linda Perry, and Mark Ronson. One
track, "F.U.S.S.", was written as a response
to the animosity between Aguilera and Scott Storch
during the recording of Stripped. In the interview with
Maxim, she said, "That’s a way of burying my
experience with him. We did great work on Stripped...
When I tried to work with him again, he made
uncalled-for demands. It was disappointing that someone
would get affected like that." She received writing
credit for every track and was the executive producer
for the album, which debuted at number one in the U.S.
and the UK. The follow-up singles "Hurt" and
"Candyman" have charted top 25 in the U.S. and
the U.K, and have done considerably well worldwide. She
co-directed both music videos, the former with Floria
Sigismondi who directed her Fighter video, and the
latter, "Candyman", with director/photographer
Matthew Rolston which was inspired by The Andrews
Sisters.
Aside from promoting her own album, Aguilera
collaborated with Sean "Diddy" Combs on a
track, titled "Tell Me", from his album
"Press Play". The single was released in late
2006. The single debuted at number #20 in the UK based
on downloads alone, then jumped to number #8 the next
week.
She announced her "Back to Basics Tour" with
eighteen European dates which began November 17 and
ended December 17. Following this, contrary to her
previous plans to tour blues and jazz clubs for a more
intimate setting, she will tour North America in a
41-date arena tour, which began February 20, 2007 in
Houston and will end on May 5 in Florida.
She insisted that the jazz club tour would push through
sometime after. "We're definitely going to mix it
up, change it up, do some things that are not on the
record, do some favorite classics of mine." Back to
Basics has managed to sell over 3.7 million copies
worldwide, according to Mediatraffic, and 1.4 million in
the United States.
At the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, Aguilera again won the
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Ain't No
Other Man". She made a noteworthy performance at
the ceremony paying tribute to James Brown with her
rendition of his song "It's a Man's Man's Man's
World". In January 2007, Aguilera was named the
19th richest woman in entertainment by Forbes, with a
net worth of $60 million/£30 million+. Aguilera
announced the signing of an international licensing
agreement with Procter & Gamble to create Christina
Aguilera fragrances. Aguilera said, "I love trying
new things in my music and in fashion. To have a perfume
of my own is the beginning of an exciting
adventure." It has been annouced that Christina
will be doing a duet with Rain during 2007 on his new
album
Acting career:
Unlike her contemporaries, Aguilera has never appeared
in movies but she has done numerous television
appearances and guestings. In 2002 when she performed at
the VH1 Big in 2002 Awards, she mentioned in an
interview that her agenda for 2003 were touring and
acting. Given the opportunity, she would like to do the
roles which Angelina Jolie usually plays "like in
the film Girl, Interrupted. Something with
substance."
As a singer, she became a part of the soundtracks for
several Hollywood films. In 1998 she sang Reflection the
theme song of the animated feature film Mulan. As well
as her 2001 collaboration with Lady Marmalade for the
Academy-award winning film Moulin Rouge!, and Car Wash
for the film Shark Tale with Missy Elliott where she
only voiced a small part in the animated film. Although
she sang the tracks of these movies, she never tried to
acting.
In late 2006, she was rumored to be trying to land a
part in a big-screen film about 1950s B-movie star
Jeanne Carmen.She was hoping to make her acting debut in
the said biographical picture. Rumour has it that
Aguilera has been added to the long list of
‘actresses’ hoping to make the role of Carmen their
own. Aguilera, an acting novice will be competing with
the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Scarlett Johansson
for the role.
Charity work: Throughout her career, Aguilera has
been involved with certain charities. She signed a
letter from PETA to the South Korean government asking
that the country stop its alleged killing of dogs for
food. Her involvement in supporting the Defenders of
Wildlife have also added to her donations with
charities.
Aguilera is still a major contributor in her hometown of
Pittsburgh contributing regularly to the Women's Center
& Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh. According to her
official website, she toured the center and donated
$200,000 to the shelter. She also has auctioned off
front row seats and back stage passes for the Pittsburgh
based charity. She has continued her donations and
visits to the shelter, and plans to open an additional
one. She also supports the Coalition Against Domestic
Violence, and Refuge UK.[65] Since then she has worked
with Lifetime Television's 'End violence against women'
campaign. Her work there included a public service
announcement which aired on the network and during her
2007 tour.
Aguilera contributes in the fight against AIDS, by
participating in AIDS Project Los Angeles' Artists
Against AIDS "What's Going On?" cover project.
In 2004, Aguilera became the new face for cosmetic
company M·A·C and spokesperson for M·A·C AIDS Fund.
Aguilera appeared in advertisements of the M·A·C's
Viva Glam V lipstick and lipgloss. In addition, Aguilera
contributed to YouthAIDS by posing for a joint YouthAIDS
and Aldo Shoes campaign for "Empowerment Tags"
in Canada, the U.S. and the UK. She was featured with
one of three ubiquitous slogans, "Speak No
Evil?" and stated, "HIV is something that
people don’t want to talk about, hear about, or
face." Singer Elton John hand-picked Aguilera,
among others, for his Fashion Rocks concert benefiting
his AIDS foundation. The show, which accompanies music
and fashion to benefit the fight against AIDS/HIV, is
televised annually and aired in September.
In November 2005, all of her wedding gifts were
submitted to various charities around the nation in
support of Hurricane Katrina victims. In March 2007 it
was announced that Aguilera will take part in a charity
album, proceeds will benefit Amnesty International's
efforts to end genocide in Darfur. The album titled
Instant Karma will be released in June, the full
tracklist has yet to be revealed
Personal life: During 2000, Aguilera was rumored
to have dated MTV VJ Carson Daly. The relationship was
the subject of much discussion after the release of
Eminem's song "The Real Slim Shady", in which
Eminem satirically suggests that Aguilera had performed
fellatio on both Daly and Fred Durst, the lead singer of
Limp Bizkit, and had given the rapper himself a venereal
disease. Aguilera called the song's innuendo
"disgusting" and "untrue." Aguilera
and Eminem reportedly resolved the issue three years
later backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards.
She dated Puerto Rican-born dancer Jorge Santos for two
years until the relationship ended in September 2001. In
the 2006 issue of The Advocate magazine she said,
"I was involved with someone who had a gay past. I
don’t know if he’s come to terms with it yet."
In late 2002, Aguilera began dating music marketing
executive Jordan Bratman. Their engagement was announced
in February 2005, and they married on November 19, 2005,
in the Napa Valley. The couple celebrated their one year
anniversary in Dublin, Ireland.
In March 2007, producer Dallas Austin alleged in a video
interview with SOHO Magazine that Aguilera had sex with
him and several of his friends. He also alleged details
about Bratman, who Dallas referred to as his old best
friend. He also alludes to the idea that Bratman was
using her for money during 2002, nicknaming her
"Crazy." Several days following the incident
Dallas issued an apology stating, "My statement
about Christina Aguilera was a reaction to an incident I
care not to discuss in any forum - I do owe an apology
to Christina." Aguilera's rep responded with,
"She's not commenting on such ridiculous
statements, and we are consulting a lawyer to explore
her options."
Vocal ability: Aguilera, a spinto soprano, known
for her strong vocals and powerful voice, has rivaled
many of her other contemporaries and has been referred
to as the "voice of her generation." In the
MTV special All Eyes on Christina, John Norris said that
Aguilera "has a four-octave vocal range."
Aguilera has been noted to possess the ability to hit
notes in the whistle register. However, she does not use
this as much, and prefers to sing more powerful,
mid-range notes. Christina also topped COVE's list of
100 Best Pop Vocalist with a score of 50. A review in an
Entertainment Weekly article mentions her "tackling
that dog-whistle high note" at the 3:20 mark in the
song "Soar", which was the note
"F6". The song is from the album Stripped.
