| Christina makes 'Top 100 Irish In America' - May 01, 2001 |  There are girls who scream at the sight of a mouse, and then there are girls who count the little rodents among their best friends.
Christina Aguilera might not be mad about mice in general, but she must be feeling more than a little kindly disposed towards one particular mouse - the guy they call Mickey.
After all, it was on the New Mickey Mouse Club television show that Christina, then only 12, got her first big break.
Now the former Mouseketeer is up there with the best of them, singing her heart out alongside such teen faves as Britney Spears and 'N Sync.

He faints when he arrives by limo and she's there to greet him, when she winks at him during rehearsal, and when she checks up on him at the snack table. At the end of the spot, however, he brags, "I think she might be in love with me."
