Christina Aguilera started her career in The Mickey Mouse club as a teen and 1999 debuted her first single “Genie in a Bottle” and “What a Girl Wants” and made it to the Billboard Hot 100 number one singles. A review in the Los Angeles Times compared Aguilera’s vocal stylings to Glady’s Knight and Aretha Franklin. Her major influence and idol is blues singer Etta James, her other musical influences include Aretha Franklin (Are we seeing a pattern here, no wonder they all have soul) and Nina Simone. Her sound ranges from pop to R&B. Despite the scrutiny she has faced in the media, she is vocally talented and can get up and outdo any choir member at your local church choir.
Since 2005, Singersroom has been the voice of R&B around the world. Connect with us via social media below.
