Product Description

Christina Aguilera began performing in talent shows when she was six years old. She appeared on "Star Search" at the age of eight. At ten she sang the National Anthem for the Pittsburgh Steelers and at twelve, she joined the cast of "The New Mickey Mouse Club." If she seems in a hurry, she is. "I’ve wanted to be a star since I was six or seven," she said.

The release of her debut album soared to the top of the music charts scoring two number one hit singles with sales surpassing the ten million mark. All this, along with winning the 2000 Grammy for Best New Artist was not bad for a kid who had not yet turned twenty. Her success continued with "Mi Reflejo," the smash Spanish language version of her debut, followed by her hit holiday release, "My Kind of Christmas." With her second album "Stripped" certified 3x platinum and her film debut in the animated movie Shark Tale, Christina’s talent provides her with endless possibilities for the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Imformative..., June 13, 2003

By	StarGymnast (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christina Aguilera (Real Life Reader Biography Ser) (Library Binding)

This is another title in the "Real Life Reader Biography" series. These books are quick, short biographies of famous singers, actors, entertainers, and atheletes. I enjoy reading them when I want to learn more about someone, (there are over 100 titles in the series) but these books do not give you much information if you are planning on doing a report or a project about the person. This entry in the series about Christina Aguilera discusses her life up until the release of "Christina Aguilera". It includes many black-and-white photos of Christina and plenty of sidebars. However, this book wasn't very imformative, and it was only 32 pages. Plus, the printing was VERY large. This book doesn't really tell about Christina's life outside of her singing career, and that was one thing that I really wanted to find out in this book. I would recommend this book to younger Christina Aguilera fans or to anyone who hasn't ever read any material about her life before. For those fans who want a longer and more detailed biography of Christina Aguilera, I would recommend you reading the book "Christina Aguilera: A Star is Made", by Pier Dominguez.
