| Unbottled and Unleashed - Dec 1999 |  A young face with a big time voice, Christina Aguilera hit it big with "Genie in a Bottle," but this pop singer is reaching beyond her chart-topping success. Christina Aguilera may have gotten her start as a member of the new Mickey Mouse Club, but it wasn't fairy dust that got this singer of Ecuadorian descent her number one hit on the Billboard pop charts this summer with "Genie in a Bottle." Her self-titled album also reached the top spot, but it's her next RCA single, "What a Girl Wants," that will prove her staying power.
That's right, Aguilera is taking her... |

| Putting Girl Power Into Pop - Dec 1999 | | It seems like Christina Aguilera popped onto the music scene in a puff of smoke: Practically overnight, "Genie in a Bottle" soared to number one on the charts. Suddenly, everyone was buzzing about the blond babe with the punch-packing pipes and slinky dance moves. Music lovers heralded her as soulful, versatile, mature. "She's not just another pretty face--she's got the talent to back it up," gushes one online fan. Another raves, "Christina will be around for a while, not just because of her voice, but because she's a savvy performer who knows what she has to do."... |

| Heavy Weight - Dec 1999 |  Armed with some pretty amazing pipes, Christina Aguilera has muscled her way from Mouseketeerville heavy weight to the top slot on the pop charts. But this genie hasn't always lived a charmed life.
Christina Aguilera has had one day off in the last six weeks. That's it. But that's how it goes when your debut single and album hit No.1:Everyone wants to meet you. And who could say no to Jay Leno, Rosie O'Donnell, David Letterman, Beverly Hills, 90210, Good Morning America and Total Request Live?
Christina certainly couldn't. The Staten Island native has only dreamed of stardom since, oh, birth... |

| Move Over Britney - The Genie Is Out of Her Bottle - Dec 1999 |  Christina Aguilera’s self-titled album is a wish come true.
What do Britney Spears, J.C. and Justin of ‘N sync and Keri Russell have in common with Christina Aguilera? Other than the obvious good looks, fame and talent thing, they were all – believe it or not – Mouseketeers. That’s right: The sultry blonde songstress sported mouse ears at age 12 when she landed a spot on the Orlando-based show, “New Mickey Mouse Club.”
But all that’s behind Aguilera now. She’s managed to emerge from that part of her life not as a gum-snapping one-hit wonder, but as a singer whose voice is now being hailed b... |

| Many Ears Ago - Dec 1999 | | In case you didn’t know it, Keri Russell wasn’t always that cute, quirky and elegant college sophomore, Felicity, caught up in a sticky (but oh-so-fun) love triangle and desperately trying to figure out what life’s all about. In fact, Keri used to wear big, floppy Mickey Mouse ears and – yes – happily croon the “Mickey” song. (We don’t need to spell it out do we?!) Britney, too, was performing on TV well before donning diva outfits and hitting us one more time (and one more time and one more…) And if you thought Christina “Genie In A Bottle” Aguilera was always a pop sensation, think again.
