Christina Marķa Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American pop singer. She began working in the entertainment industry at a relatively young age and rose to popularity through the critical and commercial success of her debut major-label album Christina Aguilera (1999), which produced four hit singles. Her second studio album Stripped (2002) continued the momentum, selling strongly, but it received less favorable reviews and criticism over Aguilera's overtly sexual image. In 2005 she married record executive Jordan Bratman, and her third studio album Back to Basics was released in August 2006. |
