| Christina Aguilera/Eminem Parodist Stands-Up - Aug 01, 2000 | In his song "The Real Slim Shady," rapper Eminem takes a few cheap shots at pop sensation Christina Aguilera. Weeks after that hit single's release, a new track called "The Real Slim Shady (My Reply)" began making the radio rounds, leading many to believe that it was Aguilera's genuine response to Eminem. Now comes word out of Las Vegas that an unknown musician named Emily Ellis is actually responsible for the song that duped stations on both sides of the Atlantic.
England's Radio One, along with dozens of outlets worldwide, billed the song as an Aguilera original, with se... |

| Aguilera Unveils New Looks On Headlining Tour - Aug 01, 2000 |  When a teen queen like Christina Aguilera unveils a tour, it's as much about what she wears as how she sounds, as the young star well knows.
So when Aguilera kicked off her first-ever headlining tour Monday night in Kansas City, Missouri, the young singer came packing a trunk full of new looks for the trek.
"You'll be seeing a lot of different looks on the tour," Aguilera told MTV News via satellite on Monday just hours before she hit the stage at the Sandstone Amphitheater. The day of the tour launch, those "different looks" included a three-toned pigtailed 'do somewhere... |

PLOY Surprise! ''The Real Slim Shady (My Reply)'' isn't real. The tune billed by radio stations around the world as Christina Aguilera's response to Eminem's bile soaked remarks on ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' is actually the work of an unknown Las Vegas artist named Emily Ellis, Launch reports. For several weeks, the ''Shady'' parody has held a position at the top of big stations' play lists in the U.S. and England -- with many reporting that it was their No. 1 requested song. In ''Reply,'' Ellis -- bearing remarkable verisimilitude to a certain peeved... |

| What a girl wants: Christina Aguilera sees her 'lifelong dream' come true - Aug 10, 2000 |  Pop singer Christina Aguilera released a self-titled album last year that made her and her record company rich.
More than 8 million people own a copy of the disc, which has spawned two No. 1 singles: Genie in a Bottle and What a Girl Wants.
For a performer as commercially successful as the 1999 winner of the Grammy Award for best new artist, what could be sweeter than an afternoon full of 10-minute chats with reporters?

| Heat, Crowds Force 70 From Concert - Aug 14, 2000 | KEARNEY, Neb. (AP)_Emergency medical personnel on duty at a Christina Aguilera concert here August 3 say about six dozen people had to leave or be taken from the metal building in which the concert was held.
Despite repeated requests from master of ceremonies Mark Reid and from the pop sensation herself, the sellout crowd of about 5,600 continued to push toward the stage, crushing those in the front against metal gates. That crush, plus the oppressive heat in the metal building, made the concert too uncomfortable for some.

| Christina Aguilera Delves Into Latin Roots On Spanish LP - Aug 16, 2000 |  Sonicnet Music News
On her upcoming Spanish-language album, "Mi Reflejo," Christina Aguilera delves into her Latin roots, covering a traditional tune alongside Spanish versions of her multiplatinum hits.
"This is very much a Latin-sounding record, but vocally, she does bring her more R&B sound to it," Aguilera's manager, Steven Kurtz, said. "I don't think there's anyone singing in Spanish the way Christina does it."
The album, due September 12, will feature Spanish-sung versions of five songs from her 1999 self-titled debut album, with five originals and on... |

| Christina Aguilera Prepares Spanish Debut - Aug 17, 2000 | There was a time when Christina Aguilera's main asset was her voice, a strong, supple instrument mature and dynamic beyond her teen years.
These days, Aguilera -- who in February won the Grammy for best new artist -- has found an equally valuable asset in her surname, the stamp of authenticity her label is banking on to make her Spanish-language debut a success.
At a time of intense crossover from the Latin market to the English-speaking world, "Mi Reflejo," marks her as one of few mainstream pop superstars to release an entire album in Spanish. Moreover, while crossovers in either... |

| Christina Aguilera: What a girl wants - Aug 17, 2000 | So, Christina Aguilera, you're just 19 and you've already won the Grammy Award for best new artist. What are you going to do now?
Don't sell her short. Ms. Aguilera, described often by critics as having the best voice among the current crop of teen-age heartthrobs, began preparing for that best-new-artist Grammy more than a decade ago.
Now she is looking ahead to a career as a songwriter; her next album, a collection of songs in Spanish due out in the fall, will reflect her Latin heritage (her father is from Ecuador).

| Aguilera shows fans what a girl wants - Aug 19, 2000 | She's no genie in a bottle but Christina Aguilera definitely knows how to rub her Kentucky fans the right way.
Hundreds of screaming pubescent teens -- many dressed in the singer's trademark tight synthetic leather pants and midriff-baring halter tops -- filled Freedom Hall last night for an unforgettable yet entertaining concert.
The diva-in-training opened her first headline concert tour, sponsored by powerhouses Sears and Levis, with her first No. 1 hit single, "Genie In a Bottle."

| Aguilera at home in spotlight - Aug 22, 2000 | Can you believe it was almost exactly a year ago that a then little known Christina Aguilera performed at Riverbend as part of Lilith Fair. She strolled up to a third stage in front of a couple hundred people, switched on a boom box for backing music and sang ''Genie in a Bottle,'' her song that had just become the number one tune in the country. Her set that day was a short one, complaining she had tonsillitis.
So, like, how cool. The 19-year-old returned last night headlining at Riverbend and her opening production number was ''Genie,'' where Christina like came out of this foggy mist danci... |

| Aguilera Records In Spanish For The Fans - Aug 25, 2000 | As hard as it may seem to believe, Christina Aguilera's self-titled debut album was released one year ago yesterday (August 24, 1999). In that time, the pop star has become a household name, won a Grammy for best new artist, became a concert headliner, and, of course, there was that ugly feud between her and rapper Eminem. Now, the daughter of a Latin-American father is posed to take over the world with her first Spanish-language album, Mi Reflejo, due out September 12.

| Aguilera skirts the Mistakes of Pop Artists - Aug 25, 2000 |  The screams, the green glow sticks, the teen girls who haven't quite figured out how to gracefully operate a pair of high heels -- it sure felt like another bubblegum pop show Thursday night.
But with Christina Aguilera onstage at Pine Knob, it certainly didn't sound like one. By the time the 19-year-old rookie star had wrapped up her 70-minute set, she had pushed herself well out of today's crowded pop pack, proving she's less a successor to flimsy acts like Britney Spears than to enduring voices like Mariah Carey.
A capacity crowd of 15,200 was on hand as Aguilera opened her set with the u... |

Perhaps for the first time ever, Christina Aguilera had to apologize for her voice.
"I'm sorry if I don't hit all the notes," she warned her audience hoarsely. Her sore throat was caused by talking non-stop with friends and family. After all, a lot has happened since she's been away from home.
Two hit singles and a Grammy later, Aguilera was back in town on Aug. 26 to perform along with Destiny's Child at the Post-Gazette Pavilion. Although her opening song, "Genie in a Bottle," contained more talking than singing, her... |
