Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera (Christina Maria Aguilera) born December 18, 1980 She was born in Staten Island, New York, but grew up primarily in Wexford, Pennsylvania. As a teenager, she sang the National Anthem before Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates games, 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".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.
Catering to the fresh pop sound that was popular of the era, her career is still going strong in the year 2003, 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.
Her second official English-language album was Stripped. This features many interludes, one before the track "Infatuation", which features her speaking Spanish, and a duet with Alicia Keys; however, Aguilera cannot speak Spanish fluently yet - even though she is learning Spanish - as she forgot the language while growing up. Her mother is fluent in Spanish because of her former husband, Aguilera's father, who is Ecuadorian-American, while her mother is from Newfoundland and is of Irish descent; they met while he was serving on an American airbase in Newfoundland.
