She grew up admiring artists such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Barbra Streisand, Otis Redding, Madonna, Minnie Riperton, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Sade, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin.
I have never known of Christina to mention Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Sade, or Janis Joplin as her influences... Nor as she ever mentioned Minnie Riperton or Otis Redding, although they are mentioned in the song Back in the Day on Back to Basics. If we are to include everyone that is mentioned in the lyrics of that song we would have to also include Donnie Hathaway, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong, Coltrane, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, and Miles Davis. Also, does this info have to be cited?-- Geokaii 09:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
One track, "F.U.S.S.", was written as a response to the animosity between Aguilera and Scott Storch during the recording of Stripped.
I remember reading that the animosity between the two began only after the release of Stripped, during the beginning stage of recording Back To Basics. Apparently her record company would not pay to charter a plane for Storch to fly from his studio in Miami to Las Angeles and he didn't think Christina had supported him.-- Geokaii 10:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Aguilera's parents were Mormon, not Catholic. They met at BYU and married in a Mormon temple.
Christina herself has said that her parents are Catholic (her mother's side is Irish-German Catholic while her father's side is from Ecuador and so are Spanish Catholic). 130.39.109.45 01:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

many of her fans believe she is one of the main proponents (along with Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani and Ashley Judd) in bringing back the 1920s-1940s Hollywood glamour look.
Then "many of her fans" (sic) are either very young or similarly misinformed. I agree she is the most visible female celebrity invoking the style at this point, but is there ever a point when some female celebrity doesn't invoke this durable style?-- Son of Somebody 08:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

STOP!!! The person who keeps erasing "Grammy Winning" from the introduction is clearly being prejudice. Christina has won 3 Grammy awards along with a Latin Grammy award. It is safe to say she is a "GRAMMY AWARD" winning singer. The same way it does for other singers who have won Grammys.-- 67.187.218.213 02:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

NEW YORK â Christina Aguilera has no problem showing skin â especially on weekends with her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250579,00.html Crocoite 21:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I didn't read every word of the article, so maybe it mentions it, but are there any details about Christina's next album? She doesn't seem to be as heavy on the old-skool look any more, and she's released three songs so I'd be thinking it's time to move on. Back To Basics doesn't have anywhere near as many potential singles as Stripped, and there are two discs instead of oe! 212.139.222.62 21:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The intro repeats her Grammy wins in 5 sentences. There's no doubt this deserves to be in the intro but must it be mentioned 5 times? If you look at a featured article like Weird Al Yankovic, it summarises his awards in a sentence: "His works have earned him three Grammy Awards amongst nine nominations, three gold records, and five platinum records." So rather than repeat her wins 5 times, it would be better to say that "Her works have earned her 5 Grammy Awards amongst 16 nominations" and then list the specific awards later in the article. When she was promoted to a good article here, it summarised her awards rather than repeated it. Spellcast 10:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
This was delisted as a good article due to the reasons posted by ShadowHalo here. One point says that the Grammy table has a rather POV layout so I've started by removing the colour which highlights the rows where an award was won. Spellcast 13:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I just removed the above sentence from the article after attempting to fix it, or to find a link explaining exactly what claim is being made. If anybody else can figure it out, please do so. It sounds as if Back to Basics passed up The Concert as the biggest selling double-CD, but I can't seem to find a confirmation of that fact, and it's not even clear what metric is being used - most worldwide sales, or what? - GTBacchus( talk) 20:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I've been reverted twice on this, so we need to discuss this so it doesn't escalate. Many of the images here are not being used properly at all. The article doesn't (and shouldn't) discuss the "Genie in a Bottle" video, so there's no reason to include the copyrighted image Image:Geniecap.jpg. If it's being used to illustrate her "bubblegum" image, then Image:ChristinainChicadoAbril2000.jpg should be used instead. Image:CandymanMusicVideoScreen.PNG also doesn't illustrate anything in the text. If the influence of jazz from previous decades is to be shown then there are plenty of free images here. ShadowHalo 07:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
On a separate note, I've listed this article at Wikipedia:Good article review, mainly for the referencing issues. Anyone with input about the article's status should discuss its GA status there. ShadowHalo 08:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
My only issue is with the photographs, Genie in a Bottle does not have to be mentioned in an article. It is [her] first single, and well-known at that. It causes people to want to read about the single and the rest of the album/article. Same with the Candyman cap, these pictures don't enlarge anything and makes the page look CLEAN, and the with low resolution, unflattering pictures on the first section in her biography. I still think they should be changed, hopefully others agree. 72.199.158.206 10:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
There's thousands of biographies that include at least one or two photos that don't have entire story. I just don't see the concept of having to include a photo that has to be described in full detail. Just like how here signining some autograph isn't as interesting as her debut video. That's the point of these photographs to show her, and how she evolves. The only issue here is that the pictures that are replacing these ones are poor, cheap, and brings down the page a few notches. But I'm not going to get into changing picture back and forth, I could do the same and continue to discuss about it, but seeing as how you did it first, there's no point in changing it back seeing how you're going to repeat yourself. So I'll let the page, even at the expense of how it will continue to look. 72.199.158.206 18:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
There is no reason why there should be a revert war over this. It is ridiculous to include the backstage picture of her tour when the original capture clearly portrays the music video and it is mentioned in the article. As for the debut album, I only added that because the beginning of the article mentions her singles, album certification, and success. I don't see why we have to replace it with another picture. The pictures are fine as is and have been that way for several months now it makes no sense changing them. UnknownDude 18:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I think there should be a picture in the beginning of her Stripped era, since the other was deleted. That's my suggestion. GodsendLovesend 02:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
The first photo in the article is not from the Back to Basics tour as labeled. I do, however, have several photographs (good quality, taken by a pro photographer friend of mine) which aren't copyrighted that can be used. I don't quite know if that's the kind of thing you would want or how to do it, though.
If she's a bisexual ("Repeatedly loud and varied assertions that she is bisexual" in the edit history), then shouldn't there be at least a teenie weenie cited instance of it in the article? Please? -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 04:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
how is it that we classify her as having a 4 octave voice when she only hit a G6 live. Thats all she ever hit LIVe so shoudn't claim her highest note as G6 even though she recorded a C7 in studio. I mean come on i think her highest note is G6 i'll give her C7 if you can find me her singing higher than a g6
sorry but once she even did an A6 without problems, so she can go higher....look at this video: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=mKYhQFCsUxU

I've restored the Declare Yourself picture again. The first edit summary stated "rm. cover or Illustration. they are not used to 'illustrate the audio in question or to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork' and therefore do not meet WP's criteria for fair use". There certainly is critical analysis of the work; it specifically describes the image and includes its meaning in the line "In the run-up to the 2004 United States presidential election, Aguilera was featured on billboards for the 'Only You Can Silence Yourself' online voter registration drive run by the nonpartisan, non-profit campaign ' Declare Yourself'. In these political advertisements, shot by David LaChapelle, Aguilera was shown with her mouth sewn shut, to symbolize the effects of not voting." The second edit summary only states "rm political advertisement and critical artwork". Political advertisements are certainly allowed on Wikipedia if they are being used to illustrate discussion of the advertisement, and I don't see how the artwork is "critical". ShadowHalo 07:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I know this debate was held before and it was decided that five Grammy awards isn't noteworthy enough to include in the opening sentence - but can that decision be reconsidered? The Britney page includes it and Britney only won one - I deleted it and was told that one is noteworthy enough. The Kylie page includes it too and Kylie certainly hasn't won as many as Christina. Can a mod/admin/editor please do something about this, i.e. either restore it to Christina or remove it from the others? I find it highly unfair that Christina's FIVE Grammy wins aren't noteworthy yet no other article seems to make the same negative distinction. And it's no use saying 'well remove Britney's then' - because I did, and it was promptly reverted. Check the talk page there.
Additionally, Christina won the 'Best New Artist' Grammy, which is one of the big four. That's comparable to winning a 'best actress' Oscar yet saying it's not noteworthy enough and comparing it to an obscure technical category. SerenityX 18:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I've added the '15 Songs For You' CD to this section as it is an internet phenomenon in Bittorrent circles and just as unofficial as Just Be Free. An anonymous user reverted me but if anyone has a problem with it please use this discussion to express it.

Can we try and stick to the Wiki priciple of assuming good faith and please have a discussion in the right places about it's validity instead of removing my links and marking it a potential hoax. I am not some crazy Christina fan, my wife is but I prefer Genesis and Pink Floyd but I have spent time on this researching and adding the article because it is a genuine phenomenon.

It does exist, i've downloaded it along with hundreds of thousands of other fans. Just Google it as I keep saying, follow a link and listen to some samples. This is a NEW internet phenomenon, see the Britney Spears: The Unreleased page on Wiki, it's been up for a long time without any controversy. I'm not saying to you that 'Back to Basics' doesn't exist because it's never been released on LP or Cassette, it exists in another format. This album does not exist on a CD pressing created by a record company but it does exist as an ALBUM, see the Wiki definition of an album on iPods all over the world. Adw uk 18:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Was she really a Mormon or is that a Brigham Young University legend? [1]-- T. Anthony 13:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
I deleted the following from the opening paragraphs: "During the album's promotion, her overtly sexual image became the subject of intense criticism and ridicule." There is no reference, I'm not aware of this, and I don't think it is an important detail in the introduction, nor is it neutral. Shultze 18:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the fourth single will be? I hear she is releaseing a fourth single.
Best New Artist is a GENERAL FIELD award and is the 4th top honor of the night which she won in 2000. That makes sence for Grammy Award winning to be in the first sentence. She also has one Latin Grammy. My father is an Academy member and Best New Artist is a huge honor and he knows his stuff. Winnig that award makes you a big winner.
It appears the rumors of Christina being pregnant are true but are yet to be confirmed. It might not be confirmed yet but when it is a section should be added to the personal life section. As someone who follows the music business I expect an official announcement within two to three weeks as she is about to enter her second trimester. Considering that Christina is the top artist at RCA Records they could release a statement through her website. That is what Jive Records did when Britney Spears was pregnant for the first time. We just need to see what happens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.202.72 ( talk)

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of August 6, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
This article is a huge undertaking, so don't feel discouraged by the failure. She is hugely popular and with a very intense career. Aditionally, articles about pop musicians are notorioulsy hard to maintain, as drive-by libel, unreference materialed, gossip, TMI and straight-out vandalism are daily occurences. The work done so far is commendable, but more work remains.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — Esprit15d 19:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
The article notes she attended a high school, but nothing else. Did she graduate ? Attend college ?
She did attend high school, in a sense. It wasn't a physical high school, she was home schooled but it was high school level education and yes, she did graduate. She's never been to college, but she's mentioned she'd like to study psychology. The snare 20:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of Christina Aguilera's endorsement deals? Are they being seen as irrelevant? ThisIsMyName 13:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Aside from the suggestions at /Archive05 about improving the article to be at WP:GA status, I've removed a couple things such as the LAX club, which reads like a press release. I also removed the following, as it seems it should be in a different article or section (It was in "personal life" before)
Aguilera asked for the following message to be passed onto fans:
"I want to personally apologize to all of my fans for having to cancel my last two shows here in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won't be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time." [1]
In August 2007, the adverts for her perfume range were revealed where she was seen to bare all. [2] She had joined forces with Procter & Gamble to launch her own self-titled fragrance. The advert would show Aguilera's bare back painted with an elaborate floral tattoo, alongside a caption saying "Sometimes it's all you need to wear".

Right. There are disputes over this at two different lists: List of bisexual people, and List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/A. CAN A FRIGIN' SPECIFIC SOURCED STATEMENT ABOUT THIS BE WORKED IN THE ARTICLE OR DECIDED ON THE TALK SO THE DISPUTE ISN'T FORKED ELSEWHERE?
Thank you. Circeus 18:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Someone should really check all the references. Many do not support the contention that the people were gay or bisexual. Christina Aguilera, as I've argued above, shouldn't be on this list -- no source lists her as having had sex with a woman or as identifying as gay or bisexual. Jane Adams also shouldn't be on the list -- the source mentions a long-term, close friendship with a woman, but there is no indication that they were sexually active, and they certainly did not identify as gay or bisexual. I suspect many of the people on this list don't belong here. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 17:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
By the way, article should not contradict each others. I say you go settle this at Christina Aguilera first. You'll settle the issue at List of bisexual people at the same time. Circeus 19:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
David, your arguments are a combination of original research and circular reasoning. Your contention that "completely heterosexual" women don't discuss certain subjects is patently original research. Is there even such a thing as "completely heterosexual" anyway? Why not list everyone who has a wiki bio? The rules of WP:BLP are quite clear, you cannot make a claim about someone's sexuality based upon OR and your own opinion on the subject. Our personal opinions are irrelevant. Reliable sources are what matter. - Crockspot 20:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Jebus, how many more sources do you need, Quadell? Do you think she's lying when she says those things or something, just what exactly would constitute someone being bisexual if not those quotes? What would convince you? Do we have to get a video of her having sex with a man and woman before you'll accept the fact that's she bi? It seems like that's all you'll accept. Why doesn't "I love experimenting with my sexuality. If that means girls then so be it." Qualify for you? It's perfectly clear she is! The snare 21:40, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Basically (without trying to throw out an ego), I have much experience on the matter of how people truly feel they sexually are, and I completely understand where User:Quadell is coming from on this issue. Flyer22 06:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Since it's a list of "LGB" which doesnt just mean Lesbigaybi, it means "not straight" largely, how is inclusion an issue of interpretation?~ Zythe Talk to me! 18:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree that if she has not called herself "bisexual" then it is inappropriate (and a violation of WP:BLP) to assert that she is bisexual. However, if there are reputable sources, including her own comments, that indicate she has had sexual relationships with women, it would not violate WP:BLP to write that she has had "same sex experiences" or something to that effect. Sexual identity is very different than sexual behavior. Like the Giuliani analogy above, if Aguilera does not consider herself bisexual, it is a violation to print that. ( Rayraymitts 19:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC))
I agree that it is entirely inappropriate to include her in this categorization if she has not called herself that.-- Gloriamarie 22:32, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
As this is the third GA review, I will give you some advice; tidy up the references section. It's long enough, but reviewers like to see the same format for all the references. This is a pain, I know, but it will help your cause.
It also looks like there is a lot of discussion going on, which might make this article appear unstable. I wish you the best. -- andreasegde 16:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Xtina shows up on the List of bisexual people page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bisexual_people , but she doesnt have an LGBT persons tag at the bottom of the main page.

The article is pretty much there in terms of GA status, with a couple of minor issues, mostly reference citations. The prose is reasonably good, though I cleaned up some of the grammar in a series of minor edits; nothing real major. The photos are excellent and well tagged, and the placement of music clips contributes to the content of the article in a good, positive way.
Some specific issues include:
Those are the major issues. I would still recommend going through the prose again, giving it a good copyedit, as well as finding sources for any other major items I might have missed. It's pretty close to GA right now, so I will put this on hold for one week and review it again on October 9, 2007 (unless you contact me sooner). Cheers! Dr. Cash 23:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

She grew up admiring artists such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Barbra Streisand, Otis Redding, Madonna, Minnie Riperton, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Sade, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin.
I have never known of Christina to mention Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Sade, or Janis Joplin as her influences... Nor as she ever mentioned Minnie Riperton or Otis Redding, although they are mentioned in the song Back in the Day on Back to Basics. If we are to include everyone that is mentioned in the lyrics of that song we would have to also include Donnie Hathaway, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong, Coltrane, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, and Miles Davis. Also, does this info have to be cited?-- Geokaii 09:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
One track, "F.U.S.S.", was written as a response to the animosity between Aguilera and Scott Storch during the recording of Stripped.
I remember reading that the animosity between the two began only after the release of Stripped, during the beginning stage of recording Back To Basics. Apparently her record company would not pay to charter a plane for Storch to fly from his studio in Miami to Las Angeles and he didn't think Christina had supported him.-- Geokaii 10:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Aguilera's parents were Mormon, not Catholic. They met at BYU and married in a Mormon temple.
Christina herself has said that her parents are Catholic (her mother's side is Irish-German Catholic while her father's side is from Ecuador and so are Spanish Catholic). 130.39.109.45 01:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

many of her fans believe she is one of the main proponents (along with Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani and Ashley Judd) in bringing back the 1920s-1940s Hollywood glamour look.
Then "many of her fans" (sic) are either very young or similarly misinformed. I agree she is the most visible female celebrity invoking the style at this point, but is there ever a point when some female celebrity doesn't invoke this durable style?-- Son of Somebody 08:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

STOP!!! The person who keeps erasing "Grammy Winning" from the introduction is clearly being prejudice. Christina has won 3 Grammy awards along with a Latin Grammy award. It is safe to say she is a "GRAMMY AWARD" winning singer. The same way it does for other singers who have won Grammys.-- 67.187.218.213 02:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

NEW YORK â Christina Aguilera has no problem showing skin â especially on weekends with her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250579,00.html Crocoite 21:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I didn't read every word of the article, so maybe it mentions it, but are there any details about Christina's next album? She doesn't seem to be as heavy on the old-skool look any more, and she's released three songs so I'd be thinking it's time to move on. Back To Basics doesn't have anywhere near as many potential singles as Stripped, and there are two discs instead of oe! 212.139.222.62 21:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The intro repeats her Grammy wins in 5 sentences. There's no doubt this deserves to be in the intro but must it be mentioned 5 times? If you look at a featured article like Weird Al Yankovic, it summarises his awards in a sentence: "His works have earned him three Grammy Awards amongst nine nominations, three gold records, and five platinum records." So rather than repeat her wins 5 times, it would be better to say that "Her works have earned her 5 Grammy Awards amongst 16 nominations" and then list the specific awards later in the article. When she was promoted to a good article here, it summarised her awards rather than repeated it. Spellcast 10:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
This was delisted as a good article due to the reasons posted by ShadowHalo here. One point says that the Grammy table has a rather POV layout so I've started by removing the colour which highlights the rows where an award was won. Spellcast 13:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I just removed the above sentence from the article after attempting to fix it, or to find a link explaining exactly what claim is being made. If anybody else can figure it out, please do so. It sounds as if Back to Basics passed up The Concert as the biggest selling double-CD, but I can't seem to find a confirmation of that fact, and it's not even clear what metric is being used - most worldwide sales, or what? - GTBacchus( talk) 20:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I've been reverted twice on this, so we need to discuss this so it doesn't escalate. Many of the images here are not being used properly at all. The article doesn't (and shouldn't) discuss the "Genie in a Bottle" video, so there's no reason to include the copyrighted image Image:Geniecap.jpg. If it's being used to illustrate her "bubblegum" image, then Image:ChristinainChicadoAbril2000.jpg should be used instead. Image:CandymanMusicVideoScreen.PNG also doesn't illustrate anything in the text. If the influence of jazz from previous decades is to be shown then there are plenty of free images here. ShadowHalo 07:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
On a separate note, I've listed this article at Wikipedia:Good article review, mainly for the referencing issues. Anyone with input about the article's status should discuss its GA status there. ShadowHalo 08:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
My only issue is with the photographs, Genie in a Bottle does not have to be mentioned in an article. It is [her] first single, and well-known at that. It causes people to want to read about the single and the rest of the album/article. Same with the Candyman cap, these pictures don't enlarge anything and makes the page look CLEAN, and the with low resolution, unflattering pictures on the first section in her biography. I still think they should be changed, hopefully others agree. 72.199.158.206 10:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
There's thousands of biographies that include at least one or two photos that don't have entire story. I just don't see the concept of having to include a photo that has to be described in full detail. Just like how here signining some autograph isn't as interesting as her debut video. That's the point of these photographs to show her, and how she evolves. The only issue here is that the pictures that are replacing these ones are poor, cheap, and brings down the page a few notches. But I'm not going to get into changing picture back and forth, I could do the same and continue to discuss about it, but seeing as how you did it first, there's no point in changing it back seeing how you're going to repeat yourself. So I'll let the page, even at the expense of how it will continue to look. 72.199.158.206 18:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
There is no reason why there should be a revert war over this. It is ridiculous to include the backstage picture of her tour when the original capture clearly portrays the music video and it is mentioned in the article. As for the debut album, I only added that because the beginning of the article mentions her singles, album certification, and success. I don't see why we have to replace it with another picture. The pictures are fine as is and have been that way for several months now it makes no sense changing them. UnknownDude 18:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I think there should be a picture in the beginning of her Stripped era, since the other was deleted. That's my suggestion. GodsendLovesend 02:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
The first photo in the article is not from the Back to Basics tour as labeled. I do, however, have several photographs (good quality, taken by a pro photographer friend of mine) which aren't copyrighted that can be used. I don't quite know if that's the kind of thing you would want or how to do it, though.
If she's a bisexual ("Repeatedly loud and varied assertions that she is bisexual" in the edit history), then shouldn't there be at least a teenie weenie cited instance of it in the article? Please? -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 04:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
how is it that we classify her as having a 4 octave voice when she only hit a G6 live. Thats all she ever hit LIVe so shoudn't claim her highest note as G6 even though she recorded a C7 in studio. I mean come on i think her highest note is G6 i'll give her C7 if you can find me her singing higher than a g6
sorry but once she even did an A6 without problems, so she can go higher....look at this video: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=mKYhQFCsUxU

I've restored the Declare Yourself picture again. The first edit summary stated "rm. cover or Illustration. they are not used to 'illustrate the audio in question or to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork' and therefore do not meet WP's criteria for fair use". There certainly is critical analysis of the work; it specifically describes the image and includes its meaning in the line "In the run-up to the 2004 United States presidential election, Aguilera was featured on billboards for the 'Only You Can Silence Yourself' online voter registration drive run by the nonpartisan, non-profit campaign ' Declare Yourself'. In these political advertisements, shot by David LaChapelle, Aguilera was shown with her mouth sewn shut, to symbolize the effects of not voting." The second edit summary only states "rm political advertisement and critical artwork". Political advertisements are certainly allowed on Wikipedia if they are being used to illustrate discussion of the advertisement, and I don't see how the artwork is "critical". ShadowHalo 07:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I know this debate was held before and it was decided that five Grammy awards isn't noteworthy enough to include in the opening sentence - but can that decision be reconsidered? The Britney page includes it and Britney only won one - I deleted it and was told that one is noteworthy enough. The Kylie page includes it too and Kylie certainly hasn't won as many as Christina. Can a mod/admin/editor please do something about this, i.e. either restore it to Christina or remove it from the others? I find it highly unfair that Christina's FIVE Grammy wins aren't noteworthy yet no other article seems to make the same negative distinction. And it's no use saying 'well remove Britney's then' - because I did, and it was promptly reverted. Check the talk page there.
Additionally, Christina won the 'Best New Artist' Grammy, which is one of the big four. That's comparable to winning a 'best actress' Oscar yet saying it's not noteworthy enough and comparing it to an obscure technical category. SerenityX 18:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough, my point mainly was that they should be equal across all singers, I'm not here to argue policy. SerenityX 01:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I've added the '15 Songs For You' CD to this section as it is an internet phenomenon in Bittorrent circles and just as unofficial as Just Be Free. An anonymous user reverted me but if anyone has a problem with it please use this discussion to express it.

Can we try and stick to the Wiki priciple of assuming good faith and please have a discussion in the right places about it's validity instead of removing my links and marking it a potential hoax. I am not some crazy Christina fan, my wife is but I prefer Genesis and Pink Floyd but I have spent time on this researching and adding the article because it is a genuine phenomenon.

It does exist, i've downloaded it along with hundreds of thousands of other fans. Just Google it as I keep saying, follow a link and listen to some samples. This is a NEW internet phenomenon, see the Britney Spears: The Unreleased page on Wiki, it's been up for a long time without any controversy. I'm not saying to you that 'Back to Basics' doesn't exist because it's never been released on LP or Cassette, it exists in another format. This album does not exist on a CD pressing created by a record company but it does exist as an ALBUM, see the Wiki definition of an album on iPods all over the world. Adw uk 18:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Was she really a Mormon or is that a Brigham Young University legend? [1]-- T. Anthony 13:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
I deleted the following from the opening paragraphs: "During the album's promotion, her overtly sexual image became the subject of intense criticism and ridicule." There is no reference, I'm not aware of this, and I don't think it is an important detail in the introduction, nor is it neutral. Shultze 18:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the fourth single will be? I hear she is releaseing a fourth single.
Best New Artist is a GENERAL FIELD award and is the 4th top honor of the night which she won in 2000. That makes sence for Grammy Award winning to be in the first sentence. She also has one Latin Grammy. My father is an Academy member and Best New Artist is a huge honor and he knows his stuff. Winnig that award makes you a big winner.
It appears the rumors of Christina being pregnant are true but are yet to be confirmed. It might not be confirmed yet but when it is a section should be added to the personal life section. As someone who follows the music business I expect an official announcement within two to three weeks as she is about to enter her second trimester. Considering that Christina is the top artist at RCA Records they could release a statement through her website. That is what Jive Records did when Britney Spears was pregnant for the first time. We just need to see what happens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.237.202.72 ( talk)

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of August 6, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
This article is a huge undertaking, so don't feel discouraged by the failure. She is hugely popular and with a very intense career. Aditionally, articles about pop musicians are notorioulsy hard to maintain, as drive-by libel, unreference materialed, gossip, TMI and straight-out vandalism are daily occurences. The work done so far is commendable, but more work remains.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — Esprit15d 19:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
The article notes she attended a high school, but nothing else. Did she graduate ? Attend college ?
She did attend high school, in a sense. It wasn't a physical high school, she was home schooled but it was high school level education and yes, she did graduate. She's never been to college, but she's mentioned she'd like to study psychology. The snare 20:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of Christina Aguilera's endorsement deals? Are they being seen as irrelevant? ThisIsMyName 13:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Aside from the suggestions at /Archive05 about improving the article to be at WP:GA status, I've removed a couple things such as the LAX club, which reads like a press release. I also removed the following, as it seems it should be in a different article or section (It was in "personal life" before)
Aguilera asked for the following message to be passed onto fans:
"I want to personally apologize to all of my fans for having to cancel my last two shows here in Melbourne. Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won't be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time." [1]
In August 2007, the adverts for her perfume range were revealed where she was seen to bare all. [2] She had joined forces with Procter & Gamble to launch her own self-titled fragrance. The advert would show Aguilera's bare back painted with an elaborate floral tattoo, alongside a caption saying "Sometimes it's all you need to wear".

Right. There are disputes over this at two different lists: List of bisexual people, and List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/A. CAN A FRIGIN' SPECIFIC SOURCED STATEMENT ABOUT THIS BE WORKED IN THE ARTICLE OR DECIDED ON THE TALK SO THE DISPUTE ISN'T FORKED ELSEWHERE?
Thank you. Circeus 18:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Someone should really check all the references. Many do not support the contention that the people were gay or bisexual. Christina Aguilera, as I've argued above, shouldn't be on this list -- no source lists her as having had sex with a woman or as identifying as gay or bisexual. Jane Adams also shouldn't be on the list -- the source mentions a long-term, close friendship with a woman, but there is no indication that they were sexually active, and they certainly did not identify as gay or bisexual. I suspect many of the people on this list don't belong here. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 17:45, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
By the way, article should not contradict each others. I say you go settle this at Christina Aguilera first. You'll settle the issue at List of bisexual people at the same time. Circeus 19:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
David, your arguments are a combination of original research and circular reasoning. Your contention that "completely heterosexual" women don't discuss certain subjects is patently original research. Is there even such a thing as "completely heterosexual" anyway? Why not list everyone who has a wiki bio? The rules of WP:BLP are quite clear, you cannot make a claim about someone's sexuality based upon OR and your own opinion on the subject. Our personal opinions are irrelevant. Reliable sources are what matter. - Crockspot 20:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Jebus, how many more sources do you need, Quadell? Do you think she's lying when she says those things or something, just what exactly would constitute someone being bisexual if not those quotes? What would convince you? Do we have to get a video of her having sex with a man and woman before you'll accept the fact that's she bi? It seems like that's all you'll accept. Why doesn't "I love experimenting with my sexuality. If that means girls then so be it." Qualify for you? It's perfectly clear she is! The snare 21:40, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Basically (without trying to throw out an ego), I have much experience on the matter of how people truly feel they sexually are, and I completely understand where User:Quadell is coming from on this issue. Flyer22 06:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Since it's a list of "LGB" which doesnt just mean Lesbigaybi, it means "not straight" largely, how is inclusion an issue of interpretation?~ Zythe Talk to me! 18:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree that if she has not called herself "bisexual" then it is inappropriate (and a violation of WP:BLP) to assert that she is bisexual. However, if there are reputable sources, including her own comments, that indicate she has had sexual relationships with women, it would not violate WP:BLP to write that she has had "same sex experiences" or something to that effect. Sexual identity is very different than sexual behavior. Like the Giuliani analogy above, if Aguilera does not consider herself bisexual, it is a violation to print that. ( Rayraymitts 19:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC))
I agree that it is entirely inappropriate to include her in this categorization if she has not called herself that.-- Gloriamarie 22:32, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
As this is the third GA review, I will give you some advice; tidy up the references section. It's long enough, but reviewers like to see the same format for all the references. This is a pain, I know, but it will help your cause.
It also looks like there is a lot of discussion going on, which might make this article appear unstable. I wish you the best. -- andreasegde 16:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Xtina shows up on the List of bisexual people page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bisexual_people , but she doesnt have an LGBT persons tag at the bottom of the main page.

The article is pretty much there in terms of GA status, with a couple of minor issues, mostly reference citations. The prose is reasonably good, though I cleaned up some of the grammar in a series of minor edits; nothing real major. The photos are excellent and well tagged, and the placement of music clips contributes to the content of the article in a good, positive way.
Some specific issues include:
Those are the major issues. I would still recommend going through the prose again, giving it a good copyedit, as well as finding sources for any other major items I might have missed. It's pretty close to GA right now, so I will put this on hold for one week and review it again on October 9, 2007 (unless you contact me sooner). Cheers! Dr. Cash 23:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I just don't get it!!
