Christina Aguilera: Star Search
built 185 days ago
Christina Aguilera is yet another former Mouseketeer that has moved on to become a pop star, of course making your life so much more worthwhile as a result. Being in her childhood what is referred to as an "army brat" -- as well as being a "Star Search brat" and (as has been mentioned) a "Disney brat" -- Christina was well prepared for the rough-and-tumble world of being a corporate pop princess. At the tender age of 18, Ms. Aguilera released her first single Genie in a Bottle -- a release choice she was unhappy with as she felt it did not adequately demonstrate her vocal ability. It was ... successful, hopefully making her aware that pop music consumers are hardly interested in such things.

Christina ... proved that she can work with other divas, as she did in the remake of "Lady Marmalade," from the Moulin Rouge! (2001) soundtrack. Teamed withLil' Kim, Pink and Mya, Christina stole the show. The video took home the 2001 MTV Video Music Award for Best Video of the Year. She also appeared on the All-Star Tribute remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" with Bono and Nelly Furtado.

Aguilera consists of an advanced titanium endoskeleton covered by SlutTech Simulflesh, a poly-mimetic alloy rumored to be composed of Slutatarium, Plastiskin, and other WB and Cylon designed materials. This SlutTech Simulflesh is designed to feel just like the prematurely-leathery hide of a B-list porn star or coked-out stripper.
