| Wishin' On A Star - Oct 1999 | At just 18, Christina Aguilera is already a number-one singing sensation! So how did she make her wish come true?
Q: Your new single, Genie In A Bottle, was a number one in the US. What's it about?
A: Well, in the past, a genie has always been portrayed as a slave for a man. But in my song, we've changed it around. It's like 'I'm not coming out of my bottle until you do what I want!' I make the wishes come true, too.

A: Oh, yeah! At ten-years-old, I wished so hard to be famous. I made lots of wishes about boys, too. I'd say, 'This year, let tha... |

| United States of Aguilera - Oct 1999 |  Roll over Britney. Classmate Christina Aguilera’s already conquered America. Now she’s about to conquer us.
You’ve probably seen the video by now. Night-time on a beach somewhere dead exotic. An incredibly blonde woman/girl is wishing around in a sparkly Chloe T-shirt and hotpants pleading with you to “rub me the right way”. Or maybe you’ve heard it on the radio. Layers of splintered funky beats that tease your tweeters, then suddenly grind to a halt with the plea: “I’m a genie in a bottle baby, c’mon get me out.” She’s got the voice, the beats foxy-factor… and a long difficult-to-remember n... |

| Christina Aguilera : Platinum Blonde - Oct 01, 1999 | Most of us were tempted to dismiss Christina Aguilera as just another young, pre-packaged, just-add-water superstar. Sure, she's got "the look." Yeah, she first made her name in that star-making factory, the new "Mickey Mouse Club." But then we really listened to her voice, and we realized that Aguilera has the makings of a true diva, someone who can back up the hype with some world-class pipes. The girl can just flat-out sing.
Her self-titled debut went straight to number one, topping Puff Daddy's "Forever;" it went gold within a week of release (and as of press... |

| Teen Genie - Oct 02, 1999 | Christina Aguilera talks about the trials and triumphs of being a teenage idol.
In the flesh, Christina Aguilera looks and sounds like an immature American teenager -- not the older sex symbol she appears to be in music videos and photographs: 'Every time I see myself in magazines, it never looks like me,' she admits. For the 18-year-old, who has sold more than three million singles and albums in the US in the first weeks of her career, has been styled, groomed and blowdried to within an inch of her pop life. 'I like my hair better curly, but the record company wants it straight for now,' she... |

When Christina Aguilera returned to America, she missed her new mates at Smash Hits so much that she couldn’t wait to call us straight up from New York. That’s when we gave her the good news “Am I really on the cover? Oh my gosh, that is sooo cool. I feel so special, thank you!”
