Did Christine Aguilera live in Newfoundland, Canada and Japan as a kid? I think the answer is yes, but the writing needs to be made more clear.
Military children who moved a lot as kids are very interesting people, although also there also can be very difficult and challenging things about a military childhood.
Not all soldiers are like this, but some soldiers are extremely controlling and abusive parents (they try to treat their loved ones like little soldiers).
I noticed Aguilera is also listed on the 'Military Brat' wikipedia article. She is in a subsection of "famous military brats".
Note: The term "military brat" is not considered insulting at all in the military world but is considered a term of affection.
I am a former military brat myself. What an interesting but bittersweet life!
I wonder if Aguilera will someday write a song for military kids, I'll bet that could be a very moving song.

I consider it urgent for Wikipedia to begin controlling fanatics who try to gloss all of the articles of their favourite divas. Compared to her previous studio records, Back to Basics has hardly had "strong sales", being rather an OK-selling album which went merely platinum in the US, just like (for instance) Madonna's latest record which isn't considered a "strong seller". But anyway, the guys who want to make her sales figures look higher than they actually are would keep putting the word back there eternally... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.110.70.55 ( talk) 13:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

The name Max Liron appears to have a special meaning for Aguilera and Bratman, who is Jewish. In Hebrew, Liron means "my song" while Max means "the greatest".

"The overtly sexual image Aguilera displayed during the promotion of the album became the subject of intense criticism and ridicule."
We seem to be having an issue in regards to this unsourced or poorly sourced claim (there is currently no inline citation directly following it).
Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons says the following: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons — whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable — should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space."
Jimmy Wales in Wikipedia:Verifiability says the following: "I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons."
From what I understand, the guidelines above apply to all articles and all material on living persons in the encyclopedia. If there is a source for the claim being debated, then it needs to be provided immediately after the sentence, as is the usual procedure with inline citations. The burden of evidence rests with the user continually restoring the claim. Thank you. -- James26 ( talk) 18:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

“ | On January 12, 2008, Aguilera gave birth to her son, Max Liron Bratman, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. His name translates to "Our Greatest Song" in Hebrew. | ” |
No, it does not. I'm Jewish and Israeli (live in Israel) and I can definitely say "Liron" does not mean "our song". At least not in current or correct Hebrew. It is possible it is so in ancient Hebrew, but I highly doubt it. (Searches will yield nothing, too.) What's sure is that "Max" is not "Greatest" in Hebrew, it's short for "maximum", both of which are derived from English and only exist in slang and current Hebrew.

An editor has repeatedly replaced the close-up in the infobox with a full body profile. Most bio articles have a facial shot in the infobox if it is a free image and of good quality. This needs consensus to change. The other shot can go elsewhere in the article. Ward3001 ( talk) 20:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
The other image is a free image. If most bio articles have a facial shot of GOOD quality, it's clearly not the case with the image that you are so eager to revert back. On the other hand, christina aguilera is a singer/performer so a picture of her doing what she is famous for does not sound as 'disruptive'.

I have fully protected the article for two days so that the current dispute can be resolved. I do not feel that the edit warring was at all appropriate. Note that this protection does not endorse the current version of the article- this was merely the version that was current when I arrived- see the protection policy. As for my own opinion- I have no preference for either image, for me, the important matter is whether the chosen image is free. I have very little doubt that File:Christina Aguilera (2006).jpg can be considered free (although currently listed as all rights reserved at Flickr, it was at one time listed as Creative Commons, and the CC license cannot be revoked) but I do have concerns about the new image.

I am not a fan of this girl or her truly crap music.
The only reason I know (suspect) she has a song called "Dirrty Girl" (sp?), or something along those lines, is because journalists like to call her either "the Dirrty Girl" or "the former Dirrty Girl".
So, if you can't find a citation for that, then you are not doing your homework properly. That, or you don't know how to read a simple newspaper article.

christina voice type spinto coloratura soprano (official christina center).
Ok first off there is no such thing as a Spinto Coloratura Soprano. There are only three types of Coloratura Sopranos:
1. Piccolo Coloratura Soprano ( the lightest and most agile)This is what Christina Aguilera is her bottom register is very light and disconnected from the rest of her voice. She is able to sing a C#7 in full voice.
2. Lyric Coloratura Soprano (light and agile) think Kristin Chenoweth and Debelah Morgan
3. Dramatic Coloratura Soprano (the most rare of all three-has the range and agility of the piccolo but the bottom register is stronger than the other two some can reach a Bb2 or lower. Mariah Carey fits this description like a glove.

Please correct Christina Aguilera's voice type. I'm a classically trained singer and I know for a fact what a SOPRANO COLORATURA means (the highest female voice). Not because she can hit the whistle register (on record but haven't heard yet live) and make runs with the high notes makes her a soprano coloratura. (Paula Cole can do that to because she's classically trained but she's correctly tagged as Mezzo-Soprano) The proper way to identify someone's voice is to know their TRESSITURA or normal voice range (without using headtones - falsetto and whistle notes). Her range lies within Mezzo Soprano to dramatic soprano to say the least.
BTW, I can sing her songs in modal/normal range (excpet whistle, not yet perfected) and I'm only a counter-tenor. No harm meant because I'm also a big fan of her (I have all her albums). KCQuest ( talk)KCQuest —Preceding undated comment added 09:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC).

First of all Christina Aguilera is a Soprano. Look at her build look at her head look at her neck she is absolutely tiny in every facet of the imagination. She darkens the color of her voice falsely to produce a heavy sound. She has incredible agility and flexibility in the flageoloet or the whistle register (F6-F7)for Coloraturas. Believe me she is a Coloratura and now beacause she sings in the incorrect voice type her voice suffers greatly. In her new show The Voice Aguilera recently performed the song Lady Marmalade with the rest of the female contestants, if you noticed she was not able to hit those notes she usually likes to hit. Her voice sounds very heavy and tired and now she struggles to hit any note. Look at her voice and how it has gotten deeper over the years. When she started singing she had a beautiful light Soprano voice capable of performing Coloratura trills,very high and fast melismas and staccatis. But now her voice has aged because she tries to make it bigger than it really is and it sounds awful. You are all wrong. There is no way she is a MezzoSoprano. Very few people are MezzoSopranos the large majority of women are Lyric Sopranos.
I am not a fan of her (there are so many things I could say right now but I will not). There is fine line between gaga editors and her editors. I have just crossed the line. On Gaga's page it states a feud between them-long story. Anyhow it should go on this article. Sources are on Gaga's page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga Hey Boys and Girls (Welcome to the Show…) ° 07:58, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
I disagree because it's a very small feud for Aguilera in a very big career. Also their was never a feud.

Aguilera is a Piccolo Coloratura Soprano a Spinto is someone like Kelly Clarkson or Joanna Levesque. Aguilera reaches a C#7 in the Christmas Song in full voice almost effortlessly. If she was a Spinto it would have sounded pushed or false. She has very bad technique and belts way too much. Her voice is permanently damaged now because she sings in the wrong vocal range. Listen to her voice warmup with her vocal coach. Aguilera's voice is very light and is only pushed when she puts too much weight on it to sound more dramatic.
Since this page is semi-locked I wanted to propose a change. In the Public image and personal life section under 1999-2003 there is a section that says " They dated for nearly two years until the relationship ended ironically on September 11, 2001." That should be changed to "They dated for nearly two years until the relationship ended on September 11, 2001." since there is nothing ironic about that date. Perhaps if it had ended on February 14th that would qualify as ironic, however, as it stands it does not.

Rsolermo keeps changing the image to this article. The trouble is, the recent images they've chosen to replace the current image have all been images that showed her face from a distance and/or she was surrounded by several other people. Before then, the images they used were copyvios (now all deleted). The image they want replacing is File:Christina Aguilera Sanremo.jpg. Now I don't support keeping this image in the infobox because I like it, but rather because it shows her performing and it's close to her face (rather than far away). As stated here and here, the reasons Rsolermo wants that image replacing is because they think it's "boring" (which isn't a very good reason for replacing it) and that she "doesn't look good". The current image is too far away from her, and her eyes are closed. Thoughts on this? Thanks in advance. Acalamari 18:16, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I think some changes should be made to the first three paragraphs of the article. It has been nearly 8 years since the release of Stripped and now it really is not seen as controversal as it was upon release. It was on a superficial level and I believe the information about stripped in the second paragraph should be removed. I think it would be best just to mention how "beautiful" was instrumental in helping the albums success and targeting a wider audience for the album. The controversy over the sexualized image is tabloid like and in a way is bias and I feel it should not be included in that paragraph. Removing that would make the paragraph more impartial. -- Alextwa ( talk) 20:51, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I read the reference article regarding the recently added claim that she is bi-sexual. I have read the article and no where does she sate she is bi-sexual. Until we hear the words "I'm bi-sexual" come out of her mouth I don't think this should be added. From what I can tell it seems like her words are being twisted. 125.238.96.175 ( talk) 10:54, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The info-box says that she is also known as Xtina, Baby Jane, and Madame X. I agree that she is widely known as Xtina but I do not think she is or has ever been known as the latter two. I have been unsuccessfully trying to find a source to credit her widely known alternate names (except Xtina) but I cannot find anything aside from the fact that she decided that she would be called by those names according to the liner notes included with both albums. I do not believe most people in the music industry would easily know who was being discussed if you mentioned 'Baby Jane' or 'Madame X.' If a credible source cannot be found within one week than this information should be removed. Myownworst ( talk) 01:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Saying that Bionic was released to poor sales feels more like a swipe at Christina than anything else. Relatively speaking for her, the number of albums sold have been poor, but for other artists it would be a welcomed amount. Album sales are pretty subjective so I'm changing it back to mixed reviews and sales. Myownworst ( talk) 14:41, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't think sales can be "mixed". Its physically impossible. Sales were low. I replaced "poor" with "low". There is no question that her sales were low for this album. -- Alextwa ( talk) 15:01, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

There is absolutely no information about the controversy between her and Gaga. I think it deserves mentioning? Stephenjamesx ( talk) 21:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
This had no major affect on Aguilera's career. I think its mentioned on Gaga's page because when people compared the two Gaga made a statement about how it put her on the map. Christina didn't really say anything. 219.89.129.156 ( talk) 09:13, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
At first I really did not think this was worth mentioning but now, I think it would be worth considering it. Many reviews did compare Bionic to Lady Gaga and it was criticized on those grounds on some levels. However many other artists have been accused of ripping off gaga. It does seem to be more intense with Aguilera. Yes, I would agree with Caprice1000 that a lot of this is between fans. I would argue however that what goes on between fans can be picked up by the press. I am kind of torn over whether its worth adding a controversy section to the Christina Aguilera page. -- Alextwa ( talk) 16:46, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I really think the musical career section should have the "Christina Aguilera" subsection merged with the one for her spanish and Christmas album. It was all around the same "era" in her career. It was really one whole chapter. Stripped was a different chapter in her career that followed the 1999-2001 part of her career There is also very little mention of the Christmas album in the 2000-01 section. I feel it is slightly less significant in her career. He spanish album had a certain level of significance given its Latin Grammy win and chart success. -- Alextwa ( talk) 14:45, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
The article currently says "Rumors of their relationship were fueled after the release of Eminem's song, "The Real Slim Shady" in which he also insinuated a romance between Daly and rocker Fred Durst." but the lyrics insinuate relationships between Daly & Aguilera on the one hand, and Durst & Aguilera on the other, not Daly & Durst. 98.224.219.2 ( talk) 05:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I've been looking at several artists wikipedia pages lately and I've noticed Aguilera's is slightly different at the start. It states that she is a "pop singer" whereas Aguilera has actually done several genre's of music of the years. Also other artists like Maia, Jacquline, and Geneva's pages start of with that they are "recording artists". I mean I'm trying to figure out why hers is different. Is it because Aguilera is better vocally therefore she is a singer? Or is it saying she isnt artistic even though Britney Spears never writes her music? 219.89.129.156 ( talk) 09:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

The Sources 23 and 24 are innaccurate and should be removed.
23 leads to a Clay Aiken website which states that Aguilera was a top selling artist in a single paticular year, not of all the 2000's.
24 leads to a Billboard article where a reader requested information regarding Aguilera's sales statistics and nowhere states that she is the second highest selling single artist of all time.

i think it needs an update because, recently she released her 5th fragrance called royal desire. on the article, there is only an information about her 4th fragrance (by night) and nothing about her latest fragrance royal desire. it was released on fall 2010. source: http://www.christina-aguilera-perfumes.com/royaldesire/ (it's official.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.166.162.157 ( talk) 11:54, 1 December 2010 (UTC) gramme's efforts to bring food to survivors of the earthquake.

Is Stripped Aguilera's second or fourth studio album. Aguilera herself stated that it was her second studio album. But, here in Wikipedia, when we consider Mi Reflejo and My Kind of Christmas it is the fourth. Should we stick to what Aguilera said or name it fourth?

I believe Back to Basics is her third studio album. Here is one source: http://www.hollywoodchamber.net/index.php?module=blogs&blog_id=25 if you want more let me know I'm sure I can find another dozen or so to show that stripped was her second, back to basics was third, and Bionic is fourth. 219.89.137.146 ( talk) 09:09, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

-- Mathiassandell ( talk) 12:50, 11 December 2010 (UTC) Mi Refleho and My Kind of Christmas are not worldwide released and doesnt have released singles and should not be included as her second and third album, firts of all one is a spanish album and another a christmas album, you think it is the same as stripped and back to basics album. Nobody is talking that stripped is her fourth album its her second album, and stop changing it to her fourth!!
So I guess Lady GaGa's The Fame Monster would be considered a studio album because it's a new studio album containing 8 new material. My Kind of Christmas contains 11 tracks, but "Xtina's Xmas" is an interlude and the final track is a re-mix. Thus bringing the track list down to 9. **Light.darkness09 1:04, 15 December 2010 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Light.darkness09 ( talk • contribs)
Notice that it mentions it must be of "considerable length." Anyway, we are still discussing whether TFM should be an EP or not, but that's not the point. They are considered albums by Christina, her label, and everyone else. A "holiday" or "Spanish" album is a studio album. That's like saying Shakira only has 3 studio albums because the rest are "Spanish albums." Not true. -- Cprice1000 talk2me 21:56, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
During the summer of 2010 reports surfaced of tension between Christina Aguilera and RCA over the performance of her fourth studio album Bionic. It was reported that RCA was in "rescue mode" over the album's poor performance. Her most recent album has failed to be a commercial success and the album's lead single "Not Myself Tonight" also performed poorly. Her summer tour was also cancelled. The album was panned by the press and was labeled as a rip-off of Lady Gaga. It was reported that RCA was unhappy with Aguilera because she failed to listen to the label's input and dialogue. RCA quickly denied these reports and said that there was no tension between them. It was later reported that RCA was going to drop Aguilera over the album's performance and that she would sign a deal with Live Nation. Her manager Irving Azoff denied these reports on his twitter stating that she has a long term contract with RCA. Bionic has sold 258,000 units in the US as of early December 2010; 26 weeks since its release.
Aguilera is listed as a singer-songwriter and she did co-produced tracks from Back to Basics so should't she be called a record producer too? It means she has experience about recording music. I really would like to know other editor's opinion. Lucas RdS ( talk) 02:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
She should be listed as a "recording artist." She has only co-written her songs and not entirely written them. Lady Gaga, Britney, and Shakira are all the same as Christina (they co-write most of their songs) and they are listed as recording artists. -- Cprice1000 talk2me 03:07, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Current projects...? what does that mean?, she maybe go on tour to promote Bionic or release a fourth single from the album, or do something else whit burlesque, i think its to early to have that section. Its just one line.
I know it's already been settled that "Mi Reflejo" and "My Kind of Christmas" are considered studio albums, but I still feel that this is quite misleading since both were released while Christina's image and music were still being controlled by her recording company, and thus she doesn't approve of them too much. After reading Enrique Iglesias's I feel something useful would be to distinguish her debut album, "Stripped", "Back to Basics", and "Bionic" under a header labeled "English Studio Albums", "Mi Reflejo" under Spanish Studio Albums, and "My Kind of Christmas" under Holiday (or Christmas) Studio Albums. Enrique Iglesias has this distinction and she should as well. 130.126.107.106 ( talk) 04:26, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Messed up In singing the National Anthem
In reality, Xtina goes of G#2-F7 to studio and C3-G7 live.
That thus depends on songs heard, taken into account because she can lower more low that what what you says and in live At Last she goes until C3. And at the beginning of her career, on her first albums in particular, she makes low notes indeed below G3, she came down until C3!!!

And Xtina can even sing everything of the stanzae to see a whole song in low register: Falling In Love Again (D3), live I Love You Porgy, the first stanzae of Walk Away (C3-E3), the first stanzae of Oh Mother (Eb3-F3) and the first stanzae of Bionic as well as the second stanzae of Prima Donna (F3).
I am going to stop and not to bring quite his low notes lives I have not that ca has to make. Know that Xtina uses its voice and of his numerous octaves, always intelligently and often as of an instrument.
The scientist it is surement to deceive in the notation or it is to stop simply tuned to the songs the most known (Hurt G3, Ain't No Other Man A3) and was not to look farther.
For betls she goes until G*5 live Lady Marmalade (Grammy Awards on 2002) and to studio song Christmas Time !!!

A discussion was brought up on Bionic's talk page after I changed recording artist to singer-songwriter. It's best to bring it here, because it affects all her articles here on Wikipedia.
So here's the thing, there's no doubt in my mind Christina is a recording artist. She records music in a studio, and she is an artist. Simple really. Recording artist is a quite general term. Christina writes a majority of her songs, whether or not she writes with others or not, she still co-writes the songs. She also has co-produced several of her songs. For these reasons, which I could go into more detail if needed, I believe that she should be labeled as a singer-songwriter. The dictionary says a singer-songwriter is: "a performer who writes his or her own songs". It does not say that the performer has to write the songs all by themselves.
To compare, Britney Spears, for example, only co-writes a few of her songs on each album, so that is why she is, and should be listed as a recording artist. Christina co-writes mostly every song, except a few, on each her albums.
Please leave your input here, and please state boldly which you think she should be listed as, and please further explain your reasoning. ℥ nding· start 02:27, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
I want to point out that Spears has had co-writing credits on half of the tracks on the majority of her albums and she is still listed as a "recording artist." Aguilera, however, only had 1 co-writing on her debut album, none on Mi Reflejo, and three on My Kind of Christmas. While she did take a huge step forward in her writing part in later albums, you still had many tracks that she was left out of and then were all done with several others. This does not justify her to be a "singer-songwriter." -- ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 15:23, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Shes both! Why not songwriting recording artists? :P 94james94 ( talk) 23:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
I vote for "singer-songwriter". A singer-songwriter doesn't have to write all or most of their songs all by themselves. I know that in some cases singers that co-write their songs write all their lyrics... Some of them also compose melodies and other parts of their songs (chords, hooks, basslines, etc.). And no, they don't have to play any instrument... Many singers that only co-write their songs are still labelled "singer-songwriters" in the lead of their Wikipedia articles, so why are Madonna's and Christina Aguilera's articles any different?
Co-writing her songs means Christina Aguilera shares ownerships of her songs with one or more writers; those are her own songs as well. Israell ( talk) 16:31, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
