Christina Aguilera - Influences

Christina Aguilera
One of her major influences and idol is blues singer Etta James, whose classic song "At Last" has been covered by her throughout her career. She says, "Etta is my all-time favorite singer. I've said it for the last seven years — since I had my first debut record out — in every interview. I mean, all of Etta's old songs, countless songs I could name, I grew up listening to."

The majority of Christina Aguilera's album, Back to Basics, pays tribute to James and other pop standard singers who many originated from the 1950s. In Christina Aguilera's early years Christina Aguilera listened to vintage jazz, blues, and soul music. The album included an unreleased song, "Slow Down Baby", which sampled a Gladys Knight & the Pips song. A review in The Guardian declared, "Practically everything recorded before she was born blurs into one amorphous genre, which Christina Aguilera categorises, somewhat inadequately, as "fun music".

She has also named Madonna and Janet Jackson as two of her biggest influences "for being re-inventive and being brave as strong females, to explore whatever, even if they do get bad press. It's just like they were fearless." Christina Aguilera 's other musical influences include Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and Nina Simone.

She cites the musical The Sound of Music and its lead actress, Julie Andrews as an early inspiration for singing and performing. Christina Aguilera mentioned the "Golden age of Hollywood" as another inspiration in which Christina Aguilera says, "I'm referencing Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Carole Lombard, Greta Garbo, Veronica Lake".

In Christina Aguilera music video for "Ain't No Other Man" she plays her alter ego, "Baby Jane" in reference to the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? The film's stars included actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The third single off Back to Basics, "Candyman" was inspired by the 1941 song, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by The Andrews Sisters which was played during World War II.

Christina Aguilera - Themes and musical style

Christina Aguilera The constant theme in her music and lyrics is love, although Christina Aguilera has written on other subjects including spirituality, female empowerment, and grief.

She has also written about Christina Aguilera 's childhood in 2 of her records which dealt with domestic abuse. In an interview her admitted Christina Aguilera feels responsible to reveal her most vulnerable feelings and to share the darker sides of her life adding "People that can relate might not feel as alone in the circumstance."

Christina Aguilera has been noted to constantly changing her sound in her music and lyrical content. Originally marketed as a bubblegum pop singer during the late 90's pop scene, Christina Aguilera quickly departed into a broad range of musical genres for her follow-up album Stripped. A review states, "Clearly afflicted with Premature Serious Artist Syndrome, she wants to demonstrate the range of her interests - vampy soul, quasi-metal, piano-bar intimacy, quiet-storm R&B, bounce-bounce hip-hop, and semi-exotic rock, all of it dutifully accomplished."

Although by many Christina Aguilera is still considered a pop and contemporary R&B singer despite her range of genres. A review in Allmusic states, "no other teen-pop singer of her era has a better track record than Christina." The majority of the songs are characterized by Aguilera's loud vocals, though she has used breathy and soft vocals.

She has often cited that she prefers working with producers that other artists haven't approached, saying "I don't necessarily go to the main people that are the No. 1 chart-toppers in music." Her 2006 release, Back to Basics included producer DJ Premier known for his work with Gang Starr. The New York Times exclaims, "Her decision to work with the low-key DJ Premier was also a decision to snub some of the big-name producers on whom pop stars often rely."

Christina Aguilera - Vocal ability

She is a soprano. Christina Aguilera has rivaled many of her other contemporaries and has been referred to as the "voice of her generation" and a blue eyed soul singer. In the MTV special All Eyes on Christina, John Norris said that Aguilera "has a four-octave vocal range". She also topped COVE's list of the 100 Best Pop Vocalists with a score of 50/50 and came 5th in MTV's 22 Greatest Voices in Music. She has also been known to sing in the whistle register. A review in an Entertainment Weekly article mentions Christina Aguilera 's "tackling that dog-whistle high note" at the 3:20 mark in the song "Soar" from Christina Aguilera 's album Stripped. Her rendition of "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" at the 49th Grammy Awards ranked thirrd in the Grammy's Greatest Moments List behind Celine Dion's performance of "My Heart Will Go On" and Green Day's performance of "American Idiot". In an interview, Celine Dion described Christina Aguilera as "probably the best vocalist in the world." During the work on Back to Basics, DJ Premier explained, "She really represents true music and true singing. She can belt out notes. She has true lungs." Rolling Stone ranked Christina Aguilera at 58 on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, the youngest singer on the list.

Since her debut in 1999 She has been compared to the likes of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. A review in the LA Times compared her vocal stylings to Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, and Aretha Franklin adding, "Aguilera's Streisand-esque tendencies are a good thing; they’re helping her figure out how to become the "great singer" Christina Aguilera's been dubbed since she released her first single, the wise-beyond-its-years "Genie in a Bottle", at 18." Although praised for her vocals, Aguilera has been labeled for oversinging in her songs and concerts. Longtime producer and writer, Linda Perry, commented on working on the record, "Beautiful", saying, "I tried to keep it straight. I told her to get rid of the finger waves. Every time she'd start going into "hoo-ha", I'd stop the tape. I'm like, 'You're doing it again.'" Perry ended up using the first take saying, "She had a hard time accepting that as the final track. It's not a perfect vocal -- it's very raw. She knows her voice really well, and she knows what's going on. She can hear things that nobody else would catch."

Christina Aguilera vs Beyonce Live (Note by Note Comparison)
Two women with incredible vocal power. Christina Aguilera has been referred to as the "voice of her generation", and can utilize an expansive four octave vocal range with effortless agility. Beyonce, a mezzo-soprano, remains one of the most recognizable artists in in modern-day R&B, and rose to fame as the siren-voiced centerpiece of Destiny's Child. Since that time, Beyonce has acquired 5 US Hot 100 number ones.

One track, "F.U.S.S.", was written as a response to the animosity between Christina Aguilera & her former producer Scott Storch.

It was disappointing that someone would get affected like that." Christina Aguilera received writing credit for the album and was the executive producer. The follow-up singles did very well in different regions, "Hurt" in Europe and "Candyman" in the Pacific.

Christina Aguilera-Stripped era

"Christina Aguilera-Stripped era"

In September 2001, Christina Aguilera began recording the album of new material that has the title of stripped. On October 29, 2002, after much delay, her 2nd full-length English album, Stripped, was released, selling more than 330,000 copies in the 1st week and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200. Unlike previous work, Stripped album showcased her raunchier side. The majority of Stripped was co-written by her (who had recently signed a global music publishing contract with BMG Music Publishing), and was influenced by many different subjects and music styles, including contemporary R&B, gospel, soul, balladry, pop rock, and hip hop. The majority of Stripped album was produced by Scott Storch and singer-songwriter Linda Perry who produced her more personal records. Rockwilder and singer Alicia Keys also contributed a track each. Upon initial release, Stripped album was very well-received by critics, although Christina Aguilera's vocals were overlooked as Christina Aguilera began to cultivate a more s*xually provocative image. After the release of the album, Christina Aguilera took part in photoshoots for magazines, many of these photographs featured her nade or semi-nade. Christina Aguilera cover for Rolling Stone, featured the singer only wearing boots and a well-placed electric guitar. It was during this time she referred to herself as "Xtina", even getting a tattoo of Christina Aguilera's nickname on the back of her neck and several piercings.

Initially, the raunchy image had a negative effect on Christina Aguilera in the U.S., especially after the release of her controversial "Dirrty" music video. Christina Aguilera denied that this change was a matter of publicity, claiming that the image better reflected her true personality than did the image she cultivated back in 1999. While the video for "Dirrty" became very popular on MTV, it disappointed on the U.S. singles chart. However, the single was a hit worldwide, reaching #1 in the UK and Ireland. The 2nd single, "Beautiful" received critical praise. The classically influenced ballad reached #1 in several countries and peaked at number two in the US. "Beautiful" earned Aguilera the Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. 3 more singles ("Fighter", "Can't Hold Us Down" featuring Lil' Kim, "The Voice Within") were released in the following two years and were hits that helped the album stay on the charts for the next two years. Stripped stayed on the U.S. and UK album charts well into 2004, and went on to be certified four-times platinum in the U.S. with over twelve million copies sold worldwide. It appeared at number ten on Billboard's year-end album chart. Kelly Clarkson's 2nd single "Miss Independent" was co-written by her, having been half-finished for Stripped.

She joined Justin Timberlake that June on the final leg of his international Justified tour, held in the U.S. This portion of the tour became a co-headliner called the "Justified & Stripped Tour". In August, an overhead lighting grid collapsed from the ceiling of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, causing major damage to the sound and video equipment below. Because the collapse occurred hours before the show, only a few stagehands were injured, but a few shows were cancelled or postponed. In the fourth quarter of that year, Christina Aguilera continued to tour internationally without Timberlake, and changed the name of the tour to the "Stripped World Tour". Christina Aguilera also dyed her hair black. It was one of the top-grossing tours of that year, and sold out most of its venues. Rolling Stone readers named it the best tour of the year. She was a special guest performer with the Pussycat Dolls' dance troupe and appeared on a Maxim spread alongside them. Christina Aguilera's 2nd Maxim cover that year set record sales for the issue, by the end of the year she topped the annual Hot 100 list later saying, "We had fun working with certain clothes, or the lack thereof." After much delay, her 1st DVD live-recording from a concert tour, Stripped Live in the UK, was released in November 2004.

In light of the tour's success, another U.S. tour was scheduled to begin in mid-2004 with a new theme. The tour however was scrapped because of the vocal cord injuries Christina Aguilera suffered shortly before the tour's opening date. In a tribute to Madonna's performance at the inaugural MTV Video Music Awards, she performed a kiss with the singer-actress at the 2003 edition of the ceremony in August. The incident occurred during the opening performance of Madonna's songs "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" with fellow popstar Britney Spears.

Christina Aguilera-Pop music beginnings and Christina Aguilera

"Christina Aguilera-Pop music beginnings and Christina Aguilera"

In 1998, Christina Aguilera sang the High "E" in full voice (and again on the song "Candyman" from her Back To Basics album for a full 8 seconds) (E5) on a cover of Whitney Houston's "Run to You" which Christina Aguilera recorded with a tape recorder in her bathroom. Christina Aguilera was then selected to record the song "Reflection" for the Disney production of Mulan (1998). Recording "Reflection" led to Christina Aguilera earning a contract with RCA Records the same week. "Reflection" peaked within the top twenty on the Adult Contemporary Singles Chart, and it was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for "Best Original Song" in 1998. Under the exclusive representation of Steve Kurtz, Aguilera's self-titled debut album Christina Aguilera was released on August 24, 1999. It reached the top of the Billboard 200 and Canadian album charts, selling eight million copies in the U.S. and over 16 million copies worldwide. The album is also included in the Top 100 Albums of All Time list of The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) based on US sales.

Christina Aguilera's singles "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants" and "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" topped the Billboard Hot 100 during 1999 and 2000, and "I Turn to You" reached number three. According to the album's songwriters, Christina Aguilera wanted to display the range and audacity in her voice during the promotion of the album, and performed acoustic sets and appeared on television shows accompanied only by a piano. Christina Aguilera ended the year on MTV's New Year's Special, as she performed and was MTV's 1st artist of the millennium. At the 42nd Grammy Awards Christina Aguilera received a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance nomination for "Genie in a Bottle" and despite earlier predictions, Christina Aguilera won the award Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Christina Aguilera's manager Kurtz told MTV that Christina was talking about recording a Spanish-language album even before she recorded her debut album. In 2000 Aguilera started recording with producer Rudy Pérez in Miami. Later in 2000, Christina Aguilera, first emphasized her Latin heritage by releasing her 1st Spanish album, Mi Reflejo on September 12, 2000. This album contained Spanish versions of songs from her English debut as well as new Spanish tracks. Though some criticized Christina Aguilera for trying to cash in on the Latin music boom at the time. According to Pérez, she was only semi-fluent, while recording. Christina Aguilera understood the language, because Christina Aguilera has grown up with her father, who is a native of Ecuador. He added "Her Latin roots are undeniable". The album still managed to peak at #27 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Latin album charts. In 2001, it won Christina Aguilera a Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album. The album went Gold in the US. Christina Aguilera also won the World Music Award as the best selling Latin artist that year.

"Christina Aguilera" also released a Christmas album on October 24, 2000 called My Kind of Christmas. It peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified Platinum in the US. Ricky Martin asked Aguilera to duet with him on the track "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" from his album Sound Loaded; released in 2001 as the album's second single. The single reached number one on the World Chart.

In 2001, "Christina Aguilera", Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink were chosen to remake Labelle's 1975 single "Lady Marmalade" for the film Moulin Rouge! and its soundtrack. The single Missy Elliott produced hit number one on the Hot 100 for five weeks and was the most successful airplay-only single in history. It also reached #1 in eleven other countries amd earned all four performers a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Christina Aguilera's appearance in the music video was compared to that of Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. The video won two MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year in 2001, where Aguilera accepted the award saying, "I guess the big hair paid off."

That year a single emerged into record stores called "Just Be Free", one of the demos Christina Aguilera recorded when she was around 15 years old. When RCA Records discovered the single, they advised fans not to purchase it. Months later, Warlock Records was set to release Just Be Free, an album which contains the demo tracks. Christina Aguilera filed a breach of contract and unfair competition suit against Warlock and the album's producers to block the release. Instead, the two parties came to a settlement to release the album. Christina Aguilera lent out her name, likeness and image for an unspecified amount of damages. Many of the details of the lawsuit remain confidential. When the album was released in August 2001, it had a photograph of Aguilera when she was fifteen years old.

Although Christina Aguilera's debut album was very well received, she was dissatisfied with the music and image her management had created for her. Aguilera was marketed as a bubblegum pop singer because of the genre's upward financial trend. Christina Aguilera mentioned plans of her next album to have much more depth, both musically and lyrically. Aguilera's views of Steve Kurtz's influence in matters of the singer's creative direction, the role of being her exclusive personal manager and overscheduling had in part caused her to seek legal means of terminating their management contract. Christina Aguilera revealed while recording her then upcoming album, "I was being overworked. You find out that someone you thought was a friend is stealing money behind your back, and it's heartbreaking. I put faith in the people around me, and unfortunately, it bit me in the butt." Kurtz was terminated and Irving Azoff was hired as her new manager.
