Christina Aguilera

Christina María Aguilera ( AG-il-AIR-ə, Spanish: [kɾisˈtina maˈɾi.a aɣiˈleɾa]; born December 18, 1980) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality. An influential figure in music, Aguilera is noted for her four-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, use of the whistle register, and continual reinventions of her image and artistry. Referred to as the "Voice of a Generation", she was ranked among the greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone. Her works have incorporated socially conscious and sexual themes, generating both controversy and critical acclaim.
After appearing on The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1993–1994), Aguilera recorded "Reflection", the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998), and signed a record deal with RCA Records. She rose to fame as a teen idol with her self-titled debut album (1999), which topped the US Billboard 200 and garnered three US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants" and "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)". Aguilera took on a more provocative image on her 21st-century bestseller, Stripped (2002). After another retro-inspired reinvention, she scored her second US number-one album, Back to Basics (2006). Throughout the 2000s, she amassed worldwide hits, such as "Lady Marmalade", "Dirrty", "Beautiful" and "Ain't No Other Man".
Aguilera went on to release four more studio albums. During the early 2010s, she also featured on the worldwide top ten singles "Moves like Jagger", "Feel This Moment" and "Say Something"; the first of these topped the Hot 100, making her the fourth woman in history to top the chart over three consecutive decades. Aside from music, Aguilera starred in films such as Burlesque (2010), The Emoji Movie (2017) and Zoe (2018); the soundtrack of Burlesque earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination. Her other ventures included becoming an ambassador for the World Food Programme (WFP), co-founding the company Playground and serving as a coach on the reality competition show The Voice (2011–2016).
Aguilera is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with over 100 million records sold worldwide and two diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America. She has been regarded as one of the most influential Latin artists in the United States, having helped shape the "Latin explosion" in the early 2000s with her first Spanish language album Mi Reflejo (2000), the best-selling Latin pop album of that year. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2013. Her accolades include five Grammy Awards, two Latin Grammy Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, a Billboard Music Award, three Billboard Latin Music Awards, two Lo Nuestro Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was also named a Disney Legend, in recognition of her contributions to the Walt Disney Company.
