During childhood, Aguilera explored her grandmother's personal records—which featured mostly soul and blues singers—which increased her interest in music.[19] She also began to practice singing and competing in talent contests.[20] Followed numerous contests, she earned reputation in the neighborhood as the "little girl with a big voice" and received attention from local television and radio programs.[21][22] In 1990, she performed the popular song "A Sunday Kind of Love" on the reality competition show Star Search, but was eliminated during the semi-final round.[23] Aguilera eventually was invited to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, Pittsburgh Steelers football, and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games, as well during the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals.[24][25] During her youth in Pittsburgh metropolitan area, she attended North Allegheny Intermediate High School before leaving there to be homeschooled to avoid bullying she experienced at school.[26][27]

She once again competed for a spot (this time, against 15,000 candidates) and was selected to join the variety program the following year.[29] Her fellow cast members included Ryan Gosling, Keri Russell, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake.[30] During the show recordings—which included Aguilera performing musical numbers and comedy sketches—she moved with her family to Orlando, Florida.[31] In 1994, it was reported the series would not return for a new season.[32]

Influences

Musicians such as Etta James (left) and Whitney Houston (right) was cited among Aguilera's main influences. She later recalled shaping her singing voice after them in her early years.[246]

Aguilera has named Etta James as a "role model", and said "At Last" made a major impression on her.[247] She later stated, "I'll still be as raunchy as I wanna be, and I'll have [Etta]'s memory to back me up. She's what I want to be someday".[248] As a young girl, The Sound of Music (1959) and its lead actress, Julie Andrews, became her early references to sing and perform, in addition to broadening her interest on Broadway.[249] Other Aguilera's major influences include Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald.[250][251] She has also cited rock bands as an influence, specifically the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, and Radiohead.[252][253]

Aguilera was also influenced by Latin music. She later recalled singing her first songs in Spanish during childhood, saying: "I grew up hearing [Spanish] being spoken in my household [and] hearing a lot of Julio Iglesias on the record player".[254] Some of her other inspirations in Latin music include Chavela Vargas, Vicente Fernández, and younger artists such Rosalía.[255][256] As a performer, Aguilera credits Madonna and Janet Jackson as major inspirations for being "positive female artists [who] aren't afraid to take chances, be daring, experimental and sexy".[257] Cher also encouraged her to being a performer and "a woman who has the guts to do [everything]".[258]

Aguilera's childhood visits to records stores moulded her taste and led to an appreciation for blues and soul music, which she called "music that really had heart".[259] Aguilera has also paid hommage to many artists from this genre in her music, including Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone, and Otis Redding. Her album Back to Basics (2006) features inspirations of musicians from the early 20th century. As she later commented: "I was just so drawn to that [kind of music] ... [It] has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion".[14] Her other influences in the genre was added for Liberation (2018), including Michael Jackson in "Maria" and Janis Joplin in "Sick of Sittin'".[260][176]

Outside of the music industry, Aguilera was inspired by actresses from the Old Hollywood.[261] She later stated, "I'm fascinated with the golden age of film. I wanted to capture the authenticity of the glam era", after which she cited examples such as Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Veronica Lake, and the pin-up models.[262] Her "Tilt Ya Head Back" music video also recreated Monroe's signature look, while the video for "Your Body" includes a directly reference to Lucille Ball.[263][264] The video for "Ain't No Other Man" presented Aguilera under the alter ego Baby Jane, which was inspired by Bette Davis's character in psychological horror film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).[109] Her other inspirations mostly came from contemporary art, including works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Banksy.[265][266]

Aguilera is known by her melismatic singing technique, yielding comparisons to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.[2][267]

Critics have described Aguilera as a soprano,[15][268] possessing a four-octave vocal range (from C3 to C♯7).[269][270] She is also able to perform the whistle register.[271] Maura Johnston, a journalist withSlate, called Aguilera's voice "an instrument that despite its ability to leap octaves has a low-end grounding similar to that possessed by opera singers".[272] The Boston Globe columnist Joan Anderman praised her vocal versatility, stating, "[She] is a real singer ... blessed with the sort of breathtaking elasticity, golden tones, and sheer power that separate the divas from the dabblers".[273] In addition to sustain high notes, Aguilera is recognized for making use of the melismatic technique.[2] Jon Pareles from The New York Times emphasized that "she can aim a note as directly as aa missile or turn its trajectory into an aerobatic spiral of leaping, quivering, and scalloping melismas".[176] RCA Records music executive Ron Fair praised her "perfect intonation", and opined she has "pipes to be the next Barbra Streisand or Céline Dion".[250]

Several critics have compared Aguilera's technique to that of other singers. Journalist David Browne suggested that, alongside Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, she "forms the team of the main proponents" of the melismatic technique.[267] Richard Harrington from The Washington Post also compared her to these artists, but suggested she sounds even better: "she has a genuinely powerful voice," he writes, "that's evoked comparisons [to] Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, though it for the most part avoids those singers' ornamental mannerisms".[274] Sasha Frere-Jones, columnist of The New Yorker, also credited the technique by making her become "a serious singer without needing to reincarnate the Sarah Vaughan", while songwriter Steve Kipner praised her vocal dexterity, including her ability to "internalize[d] all the riffs from Chaka Khan".[250][275] Los Angeles Times music critic Ann Powers wrote that Aguilera possesses a "voice purely powerful as that of Etta James [...] and she's moving toward the expressiveness of Gladys Knight, if not Aretha Franklin". Powers also associated her vocal ability with Donna Summer when she performs records influenced by rhythm and blues.[276]

Aguilera, however, has also been criticized for the excessive use of melisma, as well for oversinging during her concerts shows.[277][100] The Huffington Post columnist John Eskow called her as "the main proponent of oversouling". Eskow recognizes Aguilera's voice as a "great instrument", although she "[doesn't] seem to know when to stop" with the use of "gratuitous and confected melisma".[278] Lucy Davies, music critic from BBC Music, raved about her "stunning voice", but offered that "she could be more varied, simply by cutting out some of the 'ye-e-eeeh, woah' in her songs".[279] Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Chris Willman credits Aguilera's tendency to oversinging as an influence of Mariah Carey, noting "her slightly nasal tone that really only becomes obvious when she's overselling a song".[280] Alexa Tietjen from VH1 acknowledged that Aguilera "does tend to take it to the extreme at times [...] but her vocal prowess is what's gotten her so far. Love them or hate them, the riffs are a part of who she is as performer".[281]

Musical style

Generally referred to as a pop artist,[282] Aguilera has gone on to experiment with different musical genres throughout her career.[9] She explains that she always tries to bring something new to her projects, "experiment[ing] with [her] voice" in addition to verbalizing her preference of working with more "obscure" collaborators, and that she is not necessarily inclined to contact "the number-one chart-toppers in music" just because they are in popular demand.[121][283] Reviewing her artistically, Alexis Petridis, columnist from The Guardian, recognized that her "boldness in reinventing herself" was always "one of her most impressive facets,"[284] while Kelefa Sanneh from The New York Times highlighted her "decision to snub some of the big-name producers on whom pop stars often rely".[285]

Aguilera's first two records, Christina Aguilera (1999) and Mi Reflejo (2000), were produced with an influsion of teen pop and dance-pop, with the latter also referencing her incentive through Latin music.[286][287] She showed artistic growth with Stripped (2002) which was described as "substantive and mature [...] with pleasantly surprising depth," where she showed a range of genres, including R&B, hip hop, rock, and soul, and moved away from the teen niche.[288][63] On her fifth studio album, Back to Basics (2006), Aguilera worked with several producers to create a "throwback with elements of old-school genres combined with a modern-day twist [and] hard-hitting beats".[289] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic called the project an "artistic statement [...] a little crass and self-centered, but also catchy, exciting and unique".[102]

In 2010, Aguilera developed the soundtrack for Burlesque, whose content was influenced by Cabaret (1972) and highlighted several songs that were redone as dance numbers in a fashion similar to Moulin Rouge! (2001).[290][291] In the same year, Bionic saw Aguilera working with producers specialized in electronic music to create a future-pop project with elements taken from electro.[292][293] Sam Lanksy from MTV Buzzworthy described it as "forward-thinking and even timeless," and praised its "subversive [and] ambient production".[294] Aguilera explored and heavily incorporated electro-pop on Lotus (2012).[295] Conversely, in 2018 she contributed with Kanye West and Anderson .Paak on Liberation, creating an album inspired by R&B and hip-hop styles which she had included in her previous material.[296] Aguilera had noted that, "There's nothing like an amazing hip-hop beat. At the end of the day, I am a soul singer [...] singing soulfully is where my core, my root and my heart really is".[179]

Lyrical themes

Regarding the lyrical themes in her music, Aguilera stated that she feels a "sense of responsibility" to reference her personal life so that "people that can relate might not feel as alone in the circumstance".[297] While the bulk of her songs are rooted in light-hearted themes like love, motherhood, marriage, and fidelity,[14][298] she does not evade serious and controversial subjects such as domestic violence, abusive relationships, female empowerment, and sexuality in her discography.[299][300][301]

According to Pier Dominguez, Aguilera's personality was likely impacted by the domestic violence she witnessed during her childhood,[302] but unlike some other children who witness violence at home, she did not act out but created an "internal defense mechanism".[303][15] Chloé Govan qualifies this claim, saying that Aguilera's experience with bullying at school made her an introverted and insecure person.[304] Aguilera's mother played a crucial role in building her self-confidence, and taught her a "message about self-respect".[305] Both authors agree that this message had a strong impact on Aguilera's behavior in the transition to adulthood and also found expression in some of her early number-one singles, "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a Girl Wants" (both from 1999),[305][306] the lyrics of which can refer to female empowerment.[286][307]

Sex is a recurring subject throughout Aguilera's lyrics, and this has occasionally stirred up controversy.[308] Aguilera herself tends to emphasize that her goal is not necessarily to provoke, but simply to express herself. In an interview with People, she stated, "If I want to be sexual, it's for my own appreciation and enjoyment. That's why I like to talk about the fact that sometimes I am attracted to women. I appreciate their femininity and beauty".[309] Recognized for the use of feminism in her music,[310] Aguilera denounced the double standard for the first time in "Can't Hold Us Down" (2002),[311] explaining that men are applauded for their sexual behaviors, while women who behave in a similar fashion are disdained.[312] Writing for The Guardian, Hermione Hoby noted that she "incites a sisterly spirit of collaboration [and] not shy of the odd feministic declaration herself".[313]

Aguilera is also recognized as a gay icon;[323][318][324] in 2019, she was awarded by the Human Rights Campaign for using her "platform to share a message of hope and inspiration to those who have been marginalized [...] bringing greater visibility to the LGBTQ community".[325] Her 2002 song "Beautiful" has been called an anthem for the LGBT community, with UK LGBT rights charity Stonewall naming it the most empowering song of the decade for lesbian, gay and bisexual people and for having "inspired millions of young people around the world".[326] In 2023, Aguilera was honored for her LGBTQ allyship and for advocating for the queer community at the Stonewall National Monument.[327][328]

Aguilera's style and fashion has attracted significant media attention throughout her career,[329][330] and she has been named a fashion icon.[331][332] Jon Caramanica, journalist from The New York Times, concluded that "Aguilera will be remembered for her glamour and her scandalous take on femme-pop",[333] while Janelle Okwodu from Vogue noted that she "has never been afraid to take a fashion risk [and] has filled her videos with jaw-dropping styles and risqué runway looks".[334] Following her appearance at New York Fashion Week in 2018, Dazed named her one of the most stylish people of the year.[335] Aguilera's influence on fashion has been noted by several publications.[336][337][338][339] Samantha Sutton of InStyle noted Aguilera's influence on the rising fashion trends of 2021.[340] Writing for Vogue in 2022, Christian Allaire said that Aguilera was "ahead of her time" when it came to her 2002 image.[341]

Since the beginning of her career, Aguilera has attracted criticism for her revealing clothes,[342] and has been called a sex symbol.[275][9] In an interview with MTV News, Debbie Gibson accused her of "influencing girls out there wearing less and less", considering that "she lives and breathes the sexual image".[343] In response to negative comments, Aguilera stated: "Just because I have a certain image, everyone wants me to be this role model. But nobody is perfect, and nobody can live up to that".[344] VH1, included in the list of the sexiest entertainment artists in 2002 and 2013;[345][346] in publications from FHM and Complex, she received similar honors in 2004 and 2012, respectively.[347][348] In 2003, she was chosen as the sexiest woman of the year by Maxim, stamping the cover of the best-selling issue of the magazine's history,[349] and she was named one of the most beautiful people in the world in 2003 and 2007 by People.[350][351]

Aguilera was on the original panel of coaches from the reality competition show The Voice. More generally, she has been recognized for her contributions to American television and music competitions.[352] The New York Times, for example, noted that "She should also be remembered as the person who almost single-handedly reshaped music competition reality programming" while journalist Jon Caramanica pointed out that this was done at a time where numerous pop stars were becoming coaches and judges from American Idol and The X Factor.[353] As a coach on The Voice, Aguilera was listed among the highest-paid American television stars,[354] receiving $225,000 per episode in 2011,[355] $10 million per season in 2012,[356] $12 million in 2013,[357] $12.5 million in 2014,[358] and $17 million in 2016.[359]

Reinventions and personas

Aguilera is noted for having reinvented her public image numerous times during her career.[360][361] Stereogum writer Tom Breihan noted that she "thought of herself primarily as a [...] young Mariah Carey-type",[362] but was instead marketed as a bubblegum pop teen idol due to the genre's popularity in the late 1990s,[363][364][15] following the success of Britney Spears's debut album.[11][365] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly noted that Aguilera was "a good girl pretending to be bad" when compared to Spears' music and image.[366] In contrast, Christopher J. Farley of Time considered her a more impressive artist than Spears.[47] Megan Turner from New York Post compared the "battle" between both artists in the media with the previous one between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones; however, she differentiated between Spears and Aguilera primary on the basis of image, suggesting that "while Britney has a va-va-voom sexuality [...] Aguilera had charm and a youthful appeal".[367]

Aguilera departed from the teen idol image with the release of Stripped in 2002, by dyeing her hair black, getting body piercings, and posing nude for several publications.[64] This was attributed to her provocative and extravagant alter ego named Xtina.[368] Serving as the host of the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards, Aguilera opened the show dressed as a nun, accompanied by a choir singing the lead single from Stripped, "Dirrty", before showing off a more revealing outfit.[94] While analyzing her new visual, Vice and Rolling Stone magazines wrote that her new clothes echoed as if she were participating in the Girls Gone Wild franchise.[369][370] In a review of her persona, author Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic opined that Aguilera reached "maturity with transparent sexuality and pounding sounds of nightclubs".[371] Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Adam White was more positive about her image and recognized that her "embracing of an overtly sexual image in the wake of adolescent stardom was a tried and tested route to adult success".[372]

For the release of Back to Basics in 2006, Aguilera adopted a new persona named Baby Jane, named after Bette Davis's character in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).[373] The image drew inspiration from actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, such as Marilyn Monroe, to go with the album's 1920s–1950s musical direction.[374] Starting in 2008, she adopted a futuristic image, which drew comparisons to the image of then-newcomer, Lady Gaga.[375][376] In 2012, she drew criticism over her weight gain from several publications;[377] the following year, she received favorable media attention after a significant weight loss.[378][379] In March 2018, Aguilera appeared on the cover of the spring 2018 issue of Paper, titled "Transformation".[380][381] Photographed by Zoey Grossman, the images featured Aguilera with minimal makeup and no photographic manipulation, debuting her freckles.[382][383] Her appearance in the pictures received significant media attention and widespread praise.[384][385][386][387] This led to other celebrities who had posed similarly receiving attention.[388][389] Starting in 2021, Aguilera began showing off a red-haired look for the promotion of her ninth studio album, Aguilera (2022).[390]

Legacy

Aguilera's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, received in 2010

Upon launching her music career in the late nineties, Aguilera was cited as one of the artists who shaped the "Latin explosion",[410][411] having contributed to the Latin pop boom in American music in early of the century.[412] Considered one of the greatest artists of the 2000s,[99][413] she has been classified between the main references of the Millennials;[414] writing for Vice magazine, Wanna Thompson analyzed her impact in the turn of the century, stating that alongside Britney Spears, "Aguilera dominated mainstream pop-related discussions. [Her] perfectly packaged music and looks appealed to tweens and teens who wanted to be like the pretty, chart-topping pop stars plastered everywhere".[415] The commercial success of her first projects as a bubblegum pop singer caused an effect that influenced record labels to invest in new artists who attracted the same youthful appeal, catapulting names like Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore.[416][417]

Critics also highlighted the impact of her work in popular culture; while Stripped (2002) was cited as "the blueprint for divas making the transition from teen idol to adult pop star",[418] Aguilera is credited for "paving the way for a generation of pop singers".[409][419] Jeff Benjamin from Billboard stated that the album explored a "process of self-identification and declaration still influencing today's mainstream scene", in addition to "how of today's biggest pop stars have followed a similar path, exploring and incorporating these strategies into their careers".[391] In 2007, her self-titled debut album was added to the definitive list from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, being recognized as one of the "history's most influential and popular albums".[420] Since then, Aguilera and her work have influenced various recording artists including Ariana Grande,[421] Ava Max,[422] Becky G,[423] Britney Spears,[424] Camila Cabello,[425] Charli XCX,[426] Demi Lovato,[427] Doja Cat,[428] Dua Lipa,[429] Grimes,[430] Halsey,[431] Hayley Williams,[432] Iggy Azalea,[433] Karol G,[434] Kelly Clarkson,[403] Lady Gaga,[435] Lauren Jauregui,[436][437] Meghan Trainor,[438] Miley Cyrus,[439] Nicki Nicole,[440] Olivia Rodrigo,[441] Rina Sawayama,[442] Rosalía,[443] Sabrina Carpenter,[444] Sam Smith,[445] Selena Gomez,[446] K. Michelle,[447] and Tinashe,[448] and athletes such as figure skater Johnny Weir,[449] ice dancers Zachary Donohue and Madison Hubbell,[450] and swimmer Dana Vollmer.[451]

Aguilera has also been praised for emphasizing the importance of feminism in pop music;[452][453] several journalists agree that her use of sexual imagery has helped catalyze public discourse on the topic.[369][454] Lamar Dawson, columnist from The Huffington Post, praised her feminist efforts in the music industry and recognized that "while Christina isn't the first pop star to place feminist rhetoric into pop culture, she led the charge at the beginning of the 21st century of influencing the next generation of impressionable teens who were too young for Janet [Jackson] and Madonna's curriculum".[455] Gerrick D. Kennedy from Los Angeles Times shared the same point of view and stated that "for a generation who hit puberty during the great 2000 pop explosion, Aguilera was an essential voice with music that tackled self-empowerment, feminism, sex and domestic violence — subject matter her contemporaries were shying away from".[282] Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, co-founder of The Vagenda, opined that the provocative dance routines in Aguilera's music videos were "empowering",[454] as she has been referred to as the forerunner of the slutdrop dance style.[456][457]

Aguilera's videography impact was also analysed by music critics. While "Dirrty" (2002) has been described as "one of the most controversial videos in pop music history",[458][392] and one of the greatest music videos of all time,[459] Issy Beech from i-D recognized that the audiovisual work "paved a path for videos like "Anaconda" and "Wrecking Ball" [...] paved the way for open sexuality from women in pop".[460] In the video for "Beautiful" (2002), the highlight scene of a gay kiss has been considered one of the most important moments for LGBT culture,[461][462] in addition to start Aguilera's image as a gay icon.[463] Both works was elected as one of the greatest music videos of the 21st century by editors from Billboard,[464] while she was named one of the greatest women of the video era according to VH1.[465] In 2012, her videographic collection and some looks used throughout her career were part of an exhibition by the National Museum of Women in the Arts aimed at illustrating "the essential roles women have played in moving rock and roll and American culture forward".[466][467]

Their engagement was announced in February 2005.[549] On November 18, 2005, they married in a private ceremony on an estate in Napa County, California, during a traditional Jewish ceremony.[550] Aguilera wore a flamenco-style wedding dress by Christian Lacroix and they exchanged wedding bands designed by jeweller Stephen Webster.[551][552] She gave birth to their son, Max, on January 12, 2008.[553] In September 2010, it was reported the couple had separated.[554] She filed for divorce on October 14, 2010, which was finalized in February 2011, and included joint custody of their son.[555]

In November 2010, Aguilera began dating production assistant Matthew Rutler, whom she met while filming musical Burlesque.[556] Aguilera was arrested for public intoxication in March 2011, while Rutler was booked for driving under the influence (DIU).[557] However, the charges were dropped against Rutler the following month.[558] In 2014, they became engaged on Valentine's Day.[559] Later that year, Aguilera gave birth to their daughter, Summer Rain, on August 16.[560]

In 2007, Aguilera purchased a Mediterranean-style mansion in Beverly Hills for $11.5 million, which she sold for 13.5 million in March 2013.[561] Shortly afterwards, she acquired a house in the Mulholland Estates' private enclave, at the Santa Monica Mountains, for $10 million and currently resides with her family.[562] In January 2008, she was ranked 19th on Forbes' list of Top-Earning Women in Music of 2007 with earnings of $20 million.[563] The previous year, she was also included on their list of richest women in entertainment industry, with an estimated net worth of $60 million.[564] In August 2022, Aguilera's net worth was reported to be $160 million.[565]
