Christina Aguilera 101: Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera is a Superstar. No one can deny Christina’s accomplishments, her talent and her influence in pop culture today. Christina is a true Hollywood celebrity and a phenomenally talented musician.

There is no doubt that people want to hear Christina. People want to see Christina. Women want to emulate Christina. And women want to BE Christina!

But how does someone become a Superstar? For some, fame comes in the blink of an eye, sometimes overnight. But for others, it is a hard-fought path they embark upon where talent, perseverance, determination, dedication and even luck delivers the ultimate prize – Hollywood – and if they choose carefully, Superstardom.

Typically, people come from humble beginnings. Christina Aguilera is no exception. Christina grew up in a sometimes abusive household and was harassed by kids in school for their jealousies of Christina’s obvious and growing talent. But Christina pushed through. Christina had dreams and goals and she fought her way through pain and disappointment, overcoming the challenges set before her. And in the end, Christina came out a winner.

As Christina records her new CD and we wait for its release, let’s reflect on Christina’s life and when and how Christina Maria Aguilera rose from Mouseketeer to Pop Star to Hollywood celebrity to bona fide Superstar.

Let’s go Back to (the) Basics, a Christina Aguilera 101:, and let me introduce you to or reacquaint you with Christina Aguilera. Allow me to show you how this once ostracized and Underappreciated young child became the Beautiful and talented woman she is today!

Look for Christina Aguilera 101: and then let me know what you think!
