| Christina - not just a naval - Sep 2000 | | Christina Aguilera says soon the day will come when people start taking her seriously and not just think of her as blonde hair and a naval. She's busy trying to explore her Latin roots right now on her new album and has even done a soft drinks commercial in which she sings in Spanish. But she wants us all to know she's definitely not just another Britney Spears: "It's just a matter of time before different sides of myself start to show that are obvious, different things that will set me apart, you know." Christina says: "I think it was the time and the place. And people being la... |

| Christina's crazy royal rumour - Sep 2000 | Christina Aguilera has had to cancel a gig in New York because she's lost her voice. But she's hoping to be back to her full singing best for this week's MTV Music Awards, also in the Big Apple. In the meantime, before she was forced to keep quiet, she's been having a laugh at rumours that she's getting quite friendly with a certain member of the Royal Family.
Christina says the craziest thing that’s been written about her over the past year is her so-called relationship with Prince William, who she’s never even met. But the teen queen reckons she doesn’t really care what gets published about... |

| Aguilera releases Spanish album - Sep 2000 | | Christina Aguilera's moves on stage don't require translation. But the pop singer wants to make sure her Spanish-language fans understand the lyrics. Aguilera this week released a Spanish-language album, 'Mi Reflejo,' that includes five translated versions of songs from her debut album and six new songs, including a duet with Latin pop star Luis Fonsi. 'This will make my grandparents proud,' she said. Aguilera's father is from Ecuador, and her U.S.-born mother worked as a Spanish translator. Aguilera, born and raised in the United States, says she spoke Spanish at home for the first five years... |

| A True Talent, in English and Spanish - Sep 2000 | One can never accuse singer Christina Aguilera of playing it safe. After all, she's decided to follow up her eponymous 1999 multiplatinum debut disc with "Mi Reflejo," an all- Spanish-language album on RCA Records. The result is pure pop pleasure.
Five of the album's songs are Spanish re-recordings of previous Aguilera hits.
So "Genie in a Bottle" becomes "Genio Atrapado," "I Turn to You" is now "Por Siempre Tu," "Come On Over" is "Ven Conmigo" and "What a Girl Wants" mutates into "Una Mujer." But Aguil... |

| Christina Aguilera 'Mi Reflejo' - Sep 2000 | Like many Latin artists who have crossed into the English market, Christina Aguilera's foray into Spanish has yielded a mostly mainstream pop album with Latin inflections. This is to be expected on a disc that includes six adaptations of previous Aguilera hits in English, including 'Genio Atrapado' ('Genie in a Bottle').
What makes Aguilera's effort commendable is not the occasional salsa beat or the use of acoustic guitars now heard in every album by a Latin artist. Instead, Aguilera breaks rank by virtue of her magnificent voice and by refusing to leave behind her R&B inflections, which... |

| 'Mi Reflejo' - Sep 2000 | Much to the delight of Grandma Aguilera, pretty young Christina acknowledges her Ecuadorian heritage with a spicy dance-floor friendly disc totally in Spanish. Considering Miss Aguilera doesn't speak the language, the recording is an impressive accomplishment. Ballads and even her peppy fan-faves like "Genie In a Bottle," "What A Girl Wants" and "Come On Over" ("Genio Atrapado," "Una Mujer" and "Ven Conmigo" respectively) translate flawlessly.
This album will certainly be a major contender at next year's Latin Grammys since no other ... |

| Christina's Latin CD 'Mi Reflejo' - Sep 2000 | In 1999, Spanish-speaking Latin pop stars like Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, and Enrique Iglesias showed they could live la vida just as loca in English. Now, teen R&B diva Christina Aguilera flips the script back with her Spanish-language album, 'Mi Reflejo.' This isn't just another Boyz II Men en espanol. Aguilera exquisitely turns out her inner Ecuadorian and transcends her suburban Pittsburgh origins with remarkably authentic Latin feeling.
'Mi Reflejo' features the obligatory remakes of Aguilera hits like 'Come On Over,' 'I Turn To You,' and 'Genie In A Bottle,' but the songs seem to m... |

Houston trio Destiny's Child did a quick set early in the afternoon. By the time Ms. Aguilera hit the stage at 5:30 pm, the place was packed, with a crowd so large as to be uncountable thousands of people at the very least, swarming around the stage.

'Cause those are about the two nicest things we can say about the shameful silliness of Christina Aguilera's new Spanish-language album. And it's not just because the part-Ecuadoran singer reportedly had to take Spanish lessons and then sing these tracks phonetically. Or that she re-recorded Genie in a Bottle and other hits from her debut album instead of taking a chance on all-new material.
No, it's because for someone who is supposedly eager to reconnect wit... |

| Latin Lovely Loser Christina - Sep 14, 2000 | Some of world's most popular Latin artists were snubbed at the first ever Latin Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera all walked away empty handed. Carlos Santana was the night's big winner with three awards.
Christina Aguilera performed, and managed to get her tongue around the Spanish, but she missed out on the Best Female Pop Performance award.
Even so, Chrissy said she was delighted to be part of the Latin music scene: "I'm the same artist but this is a very different side of me. But a very important one. I'm trying to explore best I can.... |

| Aguilera Cancels Second US Concert In A Week - Sep 14, 2000 | Christina Aguilera has had to cancel her second US concert in a week on doctor's orders.
Aguilera, 19, was to perform in Virginia on Tuesday September 11, but pulled out after being told to rest her voice. Days earlier she left 10,000 fans in Boston disappointed when she cancelled a show due to a bout of laryngitis.
A spokesman for the singer says, "Christina regretted cancelling the concert, but her doctors have asked her to take three days off and rest to avoid a lengthy or serious vocal problem."
Strangely enough though, Aguilera - whose Spanish-language debut album, 'Mi Reflej... |

| Christina Aguilera's Inner Visions - Sep 14, 2000 |  The teen pop vocalist rediscovers her Latin side on her new CD, 'Mi Reflejo'
Christina Aguilera seems too small to contain her voice. The 19-year-old singer's bare waist — so thin you'd think it could fit between two parentheses — looks too tiny to support the strong, soulful melismata that flow from her lips. In fact, Aguilera's talent seems to require more space than the teen-pop world can provide. While Mandy Moore and the like go comfortably about the business of churning out plastic pop — and Britney Spears manufactures successful distractions like her striptease at the recent MTV Vid... |

Security consultant Byron Williams claims that the Slim Shady singer, who recently filed for divorce from his wife Kim, had the hots for both Aguilera and Britney Spears and tried to woo Aguilera at a music awards ceremony.
"Eminem had a crush on Britney and Christina," Williams tells Star. "He tried to approach Christina to see if she was interested, but she didn't give him th... |

The teenage diva's latest album features six brand-new songs and five translations of her hits, including "Genio Atrapado", a Spanish version of her break-through smash "Genie in a Bottle".
Christina told Allstar that she recorded the album partly because her mother and father love Latin music.

Not only does her over-the-top belly-dancer outfit at the Latin Grammy Awards hit all the wrong notes, it's almost identical to the one she wore the week before at the MTV Video Music Awards. It doesn't help matters when stylist Trish Summerville piles on the chains, sequins and old-lady jewels. And don't even get us started on that two-tone hair.... |

It may not be what she had in mind, but pop superstar Christina Aguilera conquers this week's Billboard Latin 50 albums chart with her first Spanish-language album.
Mi Reflejo, which also debuts at #27 on the Billboard 200 pop albums chart, five slots below her septuple-platinum Christina Aguilera, knocks Son by Four's eponymous sophomore album back down to #2.

| This teen pop diva keeps it real - Sep 23, 2000 |  OK, ninth-graders. Today's theme, compare and contrast the September T.D. Waterhouse concerts by dueling teen divas Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in 500 words or less.
Of course, it's like comparing Gouda with Cheez Whiz. Britney was all over-choreographed, pre-packaged, and tape-recorded. Christina, on the other hand, is the real deal.
Real stage banter. Real stage presence. Heck, real singing. What a relief to hear a bubble-gummer with real pipes tear into her tunes, letting six back-up dancers do the heavy lifting and leaving the tape recording to NBC's Olympics coverage.

| Christina Aguilera Climbs Every Mountain For 'My Kind Of Christmas' - Sep 29, 2000 | | Christina Aguilera's holiday album My Kind Of Christmas will be released on October 24. The album includes her cover of "Climb Every Mountain," the song that singing nanny Maria (Julie Andrews) made famous in the 1965 film The Sound Of Music. While to some it may seem like an odd song to put on a holiday album, Aguilera recently explained to LAUNCH why The Sound Of Music has special sentimental value to her."My favorite movie happens to be a musical," she said. "I started out singing with The Sound Of Music, so maybe one day I'll play Julie Andrews or something on Broa... |
