As mentioned previously in my last blog post, I have grown a likeliness for Christina Aguilera for many years now. While she (much like Leonardo) hasn't been on any major headlines lately, my eager twitch to write about her can't stand much more. Throughout the years Christina has become more than just one of my favorite artists to watch, she's become my inspiration. From watching her flawless performances on stage, to learning the background of her painful past she's been more than someone I look up to, but someone I can relate to as well.
Christina María Aguilera was born December 18, 1980 in Staten Island, New York. For most of her childhood she was raised in Rochester and Wexford Pennsylvania. Starting her career off the right way, she appeared in television series Star Searched and The Mickey Mouse Club. Christina rose to prominence as a bubblegum pop singer in the 1990s, and her self debut album (1999) debuted at number one on the U.S billboard 200 and was also featured on the Billboards number one single "Genie in a Bottle", making her a tripple threat actress, songwriter, and singer. From there she experienced moderate success worldwide, and earned heer fourth number one single in the United States with a cover version of "Lady Marmalade" in 2001." Displeased with her lack of input in her image and music, Aguilera assumed creative control for her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002), which draws influences from many genres including soul, hip hop, Latin, and rock" Wikipedia says.. The album spawned multiple top-ten singles, includng "Dirrty" and "Beautiful", and was one of the best-selling albums of that year.
Christina entered a more mature part of her life when she got engaged to music marketing executive Jordan Bratman in February 2005, after dating for three years. The couple got married on November 19, 2005 at an estate in Napa County, California. However, after the release of her album Back to Basics, and her tremendous work in the movie Burlesque her marriage soon took a turn for the worse. Having finally separated in September 2010, she filed for divorce from Bratman in October 2010, requesting joint legal and physical custody of their son Max. "After reaching a private settlement and custody deal, their divorce was finalized on April 15, 2011" Wikipedia says.In late 2010, Aguilera started dating with Matthew Rutler, whom she met on the set of Burlesque. They are now happily married, and since Christina has come through with even more amazing new songs and singles making her a legendary music icon, including her new recently produced album Bionic.
