Christina Aguilera is a popular actress and performer, dancer, aspiring producer, was born on December 18, 1980 in New York (USA).
Childhood
The girl's parents, so different in temperament and character, nevertheless passionately loved each other, and two beautiful daughters, Christina and Rachel, became the fruit of their love. Her father emigrated to the United States from Ecuador, where he served in the armed forces. Her mother was a professional musician - she played the violin and sang.
Christina inherited her musical talent and charming appearance from her. And from her father - a quick temper and an incredibly stubborn character, thanks to which she was able to build a brilliant career on her own.
However, the family idyll did not last long. Shortly after the birth of their youngest daughter, Christina's parents broke up. The jealous temper of the father was the cause of constant scandals in the family. Because of him, his mother even left her musical career and went to work as an ordinary school teacher. But when he began to regularly dissolve his hands, she took the children and went to her mother in Pennsylvania.
However, Christina's mother tried very hard so that family troubles did not affect the fate of her daughters. From an early age, she taught Christina music and singing. Moreover, the girl showed a beautiful voice and almost absolute pitch. And when a few years later she married a second time, the situation in the family became quite calm.
Singer career
Christina began her career as a singer at the age of 8. Having made her debut at the children's vocal competition "Star Search" (like which the super-popular program "Morning Star" later appeared in Russia), the girl confidently took second place. Although she herself counted on winning and was very upset by this result.
But the competition did its job, and the young singer was noticed. When she was only 11, she was already singing the US anthem at prestigious sports competitions in Pittsburgh. And a year later, she began performing in one of the best children's music shows, The New Mickey Mouse Club, from which Justin Timberlake and began their careers at the same time.
It took so much time for singing and dancing classes that Christina practically abandoned school. However, at the insistence of her mother, she began to study at home and nevertheless passed the exams as an external student in order to receive a full certificate. However, the girl was not going to study further. At the age of 16, she already went on her first tour.
While in Japan, she meets a very famous local performer at that time, Keizo Nakanishi. Fascinated by the appearance and voice of the young singer, he invites her to record a duet song. The composition very quickly took the top steps of the Japanese charts and made Christina very popular in this country.
After recording a song for the cartoon "Mulan" at the Disney film studio, which became a hit in the United States, one of the best recording studios RCA Records concludes a contract with Christina, with the assistance of which she manages to prepare and present her debut album to the public in just a year.
The title track of the disc “Genie in a bottle” spent more than a month on the top lines of the most prestigious American charts and received several music awards. But the listeners also liked the rest of the compositions so much that the total circulation exceeded 8 million copies in a year. The girl instantly became a real star.
At the peak of popularity
In 2000 and 2001, literally one after another, two new full-length discs of the singer were released, each of which was instantly sold out. Her popularity is growing rapidly, as are the fees. She starts working at a crazy pace. In addition to constant recordings at the studio, she manages to wander around on tour, including in Europe.
But quick success did not blind Christina. She is well aware that a well-chosen image of a romantic and tender blonde will not be able to be exploited for a long time. And as soon as the public gets fed up with it, another singer will take the top lines of the charts. Therefore, she decides to radically change her image and become a fatal temptress.
In 2002, she literally shocked the audience with a simultaneous change in appearance and musical style. After two pop albums, she suddenly releases a collection of jazz compositions. And again, her tracks occupy a leading position on the musical Olympus. In addition, the circle of admirers of her work has significantly expanded. Since she has shown that she is able to deeply feel and seriously perform complex music.
Realizing that this technique worked perfectly, Christina decides to repeat it. But this time, not too well. It seemed to many that the girl overdid it a little when, unexpectedly for everyone, she became a brunette, who recorded several very provocative compositions. But when she left on a joint tour with another megastar Justin Timberlake, they were received everywhere with a standing ovation.
A year later, Christina again returns to the image of a blonde and no longer experiments so boldly. Being the favorite of millions, she often appears on screens in various music shows and even tries herself in the leading career. However, the main focus still remains on the recording of new songs.
In total, over the years of her creative activity, Christina managed to release seven solo albums, in which more than a hundred compositions are recited. Her acting career was not very successful. But as a producer of the vocal show "Voice", the audience liked her so much that when she missed one of the seasons, they began to literally demand the singer's return to the judging table.
Personal life
Despite the fact that the singer has always had many fans, she always dreamed of having a strong family, so she was not seen in numerous relationships. At 24, she signed with her own producer, Jordan Bratman.

Journalists were not allowed to attend a luxurious wedding, and the guests were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement about the details of the celebration. However, it was a well-thought-out publicity stunt. Much is still "leaked" to the press.
Three years later, the couple had a son. And all the time of pregnancy, Christina not only worked hard, but also actively starred in "pregnant" photo shoots for prestigious glossy magazines. However, the seemingly ideal union unexpectedly broke up for everyone in 2010.
Officially, the reasons were hushed up. But according to the unofficial version, Christina's affair with Matthew Rutler became the reason for the breakup.

Christina Aguilera is a talented American singer who became famous at a fairly early age not only for her strong voice, which allowed her to embody many musical styles in her work from disco to blues, but also for the most productive ability to metamorphose in Hollywood. During her musical career, the singer dramatically and drastically changed her image, shocking fans at least five times, for which she repeatedly received the title of "the most changeable singer in history."
Christina was born into a military family, a native of Ecuador, and a Spanish teacher - Irish by nationality. However, Christina inherited her musical abilities from her mother, who, before her teaching career, was a professional violinist and piano player, performing as part of a symphony orchestra. The musical talent of the future star was discovered quite early, thanks to which, at the age of 8, she took second place in a major competition for young talents, and at the age of 12 she became a member of the famous Mickey Mouse Club. Actually, the Club became the beginning of Christina's professional career. And it was in it that she met then-young future stars Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, with whom she subsequently crossed paths creatively and, of course, was compared by the viewer throughout her career. Nevertheless, from the very beginning it was clear that out of the entire children's membership of the Club, it was Christina who was the most gifted singer, having a much stronger voice compared to other children.
Aguilera's rise to world fame begins at eighteen. This year, Disney invites her to record a song for the animated film "Mulon". The song becomes very popular, and Christina herself, in the next 1999, releases a solo album, named after her. And already he brings her huge success. Critics, on the other hand, say that a star has appeared in the American sky, the possibilities of whose voice in the future give her a chance to outshine Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
As a result, Christina did not overshadow the legendary singers, but she undoubtedly occupied her niche in the modern world of music. All seven albums released since then have been very successful, consistently praised by critics, won awards and sold out by the public. Christina herself has repeatedly been recognized as the most unexpected singer in terms of changing her image. So, starting with the image of a tender and romantic teenage girl experiencing a period of falling in love (such was Christina at the time of the release of her first album), already in 2001, at the time of the release of the second collection containing the “killer” hit “Lady Marmalade” (together with Pink, Maya and Lil' Kim), the singer went from being a good girl to a bad girl. Bright make-up, crazy hairstyles and revealing outfits complemented the musical transformation of yesterday's innocent sheep into an aggressive, shameless and defiantly made-up sexy girl.
In 2002, at the time of the release of the album "Stripped" with the main hit of the disc - "Dirrty" (intentional spelling of the English word dirty - obscene - with a mistake), Christina showed that, like a fish in water, she also feels herself in the rhythm end -blues. The external image has changed accordingly. There were pigtails in her hair, and a cap on her head. The frankness of the image increased even more. Christina herself appeared topless on the cover, and the video for the title track was filmed so explicit that it was banned from showing in some countries.
2003 was marked by jet-black hair, Mexican tan and rock elements in the music. As Christina herself later explained, “at that moment, the Latin American essence took over in her soul.” The image was complemented by piercings in 11 places, the rock ballad "Beautiful", for which Christina received a special award from gays and lesbians, and a huge tour with childhood colleague Justin Timberlake in the United States.
Who can be the most unexpected after the image of an aggressive Latin American? Of course, Marilyn Monroe. In 2005, Christina masters this image as well, having pulled out all the piercings and this time adding sophistication and sophistication to her music and appearance.
Since then, Krestina's image has not changed. But where next? It looks like she's tried everything she can with her makeover, ranging from innocent to naughty, casual to classic, and combative to elegant. The same applies to music. At the moment, it is difficult to name a musical style in which Christina has not shown herself to the fullest: there is soul, and rhythm and blues, and jazz, and blues of the old school, and rock, and disco-pop, and hip-hop. And sometimes mixed with each other. In 2001, Christina also added a bold exclamation mark to her musical career by singing the American anthem at the stadium before the American Football Super Bowl game. As for appearance, shocking changes again began to occur in her, however, this time it was hardly the choice of the singer herself. Since 2011, Aguilera began to rapidly gain weight, by 2012 she had become a fat woman. However, apparently, the willpower of this woman is limitless: having declared war on weight, in 2013 she again appeared before the audience slender and beautiful. And, it seems, she still finished with the experiments. Although this is understandable, because in 2008 Christina became a mother. She gave birth to her son Max Liron Bratman in marriage with her manager Jordan Bretman, whom she was married from 2005 to 2011. Now the singer is dating Matthew D. Rutler, her assistant in the film Burlesque, whose engagement became known on Valentine's Day 2014.
In addition to her musical career, Christina managed to show herself in the cinema, in 2009, starring in the film "Burlesque" paired with the venerable Cher. This work of the singer was positively evaluated by critics.
Well, in addition to the unusual reincarnations of Aguilera, it is important to say about her social activities, since over the years of her musical career she has shown herself to be a very caring person, taking part in charity and as a result becoming a UN ambassador. So, as part of the fight against child hunger, Aguilera repeatedly visited third world countries and was amazed. She recounted these trips in detail in interviews, tirelessly participating in charitable projects, the total monetary result of which amounted to $ 117 million. Such a close-to-heart attitude of the star towards people in need in 2012 was noted at the highest level: Hillary Clinton herself presented the award for charity to the singer.

Quotes :
I was very thin. And it was thicker than it is now. And there was always someone who didn't like it. So I just ignore all this hype around my figure. I love my body and my boyfriend loves it too. Those close to me, they are alive and well - and that's all that matters to me
My sexuality is a part of me, it makes me a woman and allows me to be myself. I don't really care if it offends anyone or not. I believe that any person has the right to dispose of himself and feel comfortable in his own body.
Since childhood, she dreamed of becoming a singer. I wanted to be on stage. Lead a wonderful, albeit slightly crazy life! A lot of work, strict discipline and great joy - such a life and communication with amazing creative people make me happy
Christina Maria Aguilera was born December 18, 1980 in Staten Island, New York, to Fausto Xavier Aguilera and Shelley Lorraine Fidler. The beginning of the girl's life was not easy. Her father, an immigrant from Ecuador who served as a sergeant in the United States Army, was a tyrant in the family. Only when the girl was already 6 years old, her mother finally managed to end the marriage and move with her two daughters (Christina and her younger sister, Rachel) to Rochester, Pennsylvania, where the family begins a new life.
From an early age, Christina awakens an ardent love for music, a talent for which she undoubtedly inherited from her musical mother, a professional violinist and pianist. By the time the girl enters elementary school, her strong voice manages to sound at local talent shows, causing black envy of classmates and even parents. And this annoys Christina so much that her mother, in the end, decides on the home education of her daughter.
But the girl continues to perform, and in 1990 she won a prize on the television program of national importance “Looking for Stars”. The nine-year-old wonder wows the audience with a mesmerizing rendition of Etta James' "Sunday Love," earning him second prize in the competition.
Commercial success
In 1993, Aguilera again drew attention to herself, taking part in the television program "The New Mickey Mouse Club". Her show partners are future stars Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and Carey Russell. Participation in the filming of Aguilera lasted only two years, after which the ambitious singer travels with her mother to Japan, where she records the single “All I Wanna Do” with Japanese pop icon Keizo Nakanishi. This was followed by new achievements. In 1998, Aguilera recorded the soundtrack for the Walt Disney film Mulan. The following year, the star will make her debut at the concert festival of female vocals "Lilith Fair", after which she signs a contract with the recording studio "RCA Records". In 1999, Christina released her debut album called "Christina Aguilera", sold 8 million copies, which brought fame to two undisputed hits on the Billboard list: "Genie in a Bottle" and the undisputed leader "What a Girl Wants". The album brought Aguilera a Grammy as the best performer.
Along with her former New Mickey Mouse Club partners Spears and Timberlake, now also at the top of the charts, Aguilera becomes one of the key figures among the teenage pop stars of her time. But the image of a pretty girl, imposed by such a role, was too small for Christina. After recording the song "Lady Marmalade" with Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim, Aguilera released her second album, Stripped, in October 2002.
As you can see from the title, the superstar has entered a completely different stage of his work. The performed album included singles that soared to the first lines of the charts: "Dirrty", "Beautiful" and "Make Over".
Aguilera's new music, as well as new piercings and tattoos, stunned some critics, but also attracted new fans. The circulation of the album "Stripped" slightly exceeded 4 million copies, but Christina, to her credit, was not at all ashamed of either her music or her appearance. “I knew that this is music for adults, and that not everyone is ready for it,” Aguilera commented on her album in an interview with The New York Times magazine.
In 2006, Aguilera changes her style again with the release of a new two-disc studio album, Back to Basics, which is heavily influenced by 1920s and 1940s music. As with the previous album, Christina is changing her image again. Now her style matches the classic image of Jean Harlow.
New projects
In 2010, Christina Aguilera returns to the recording studio with the album "Bi-on-iC". The sound becomes more electronic, which was the result of collaboration with "Le Tigre" and "M.I.A". But, despite the fact that “Bi-on-iC” got to the very top of the charts, none of his singles became a hit.
In the same year, Aguilera made her film debut, in the musical "Burlesque", being on the same stage with Cher. Christina recorded several soundtracks for the film, including "Show Me How You Burlesque", which did not receive wide recognition. Although the release of the film was expected by many, it did not gather full houses, and critics smashed it to smithereens.
During this period, Aguilera is in an extremely depressed state, both in personal and professional life. At the Super Bowl in February 2011, she forgets the lyrics to the National Anthem. Shortly thereafter, the pop star is arrested for public indecency while drunk. Both of these cases gave rise to a wave of rumors about her possible alcoholism.
But by the spring of 2011, Aguilera is back on her feet, being busy in the new long-term television competition The Voice, which launched April 26 on NBC. In this project, Christina acts as a judge and coach of young performers competing with teams led by musical talents such as Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. And while there have been rumors of behind-the-scenes drama between Kristina and her crew, the pop star is proving to be a staunch supporter for her charges. At the end of the Voice-3 show in 2012, Aguilera announced that she was leaving the project for a while. In the fourth season, Shakira takes her place.
Aguilera at this time releases a new album "Lotus", very indifferently received by the public. Released in 2013, the single with rapper Pitbull is much more successful. The duo record the song "Feel This Moment", which they present on the TV show's fourth season finale. Shortly thereafter, Aguilera announces her return for season 5 of the project.
Personal life
During the filming of Burlesque (2010), Aguilera has an affair with assistant director Matthew Rutler. By that time, the singer already has a son, Max, from her first marriage to record director Jordan Bratman: the couple got married in 2005, separated in 2010 and officially filed for divorce in 2011. On August 16, 2014, Aguilera and Rutler had daughter of Summer Rain.
Outside of her stage work, Aguilera has shown herself to be a compassionate person, taking part in AIDS advocacy campaigns and being a member of the Women's Center and Shelter in Greater Pittsburgh. In early 2010, she takes on the role of a World Food Program Hunger Mission Ambassador, which takes her to Haiti, where Christina is helping earthquake victims.
