| Miss Understood - Feb 2004 |  Making fun of Christina Aguilera is practically a hobby for a lot of people. They think she asks for it--what with her nun stripteases and Madonna kisses and bare-butt chaps. But you know what? They're missing the point, because Christina does what she wants, when she wants, how she wants. She doesn't care what anyone thinks, and that's the sort of 'tude for which we have the utmost respect. Furthermore, when Christina shows up at our L.A. photo shoot, there's no sign of the flaming monster diva we've heard so much about. As entourages go, hers is kinda small--just her publicist, assistant, bo... |

| My Path To Fame - Feb 2004 | "I started singing at block parties when I was six or seven and that was the first time I realised I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. The first time I was on TV was for a talent show called 'Star Search' when I was eight.
From there I auditioned for 'The Mickey Mouse Club'. I did that for two seasons until it was cancelled.
After that I went to Romania to compete in a huge festival. I was representing the USA and I had a single out in Japan with a Japanese artist at the same time.
At 17, I was offered the song for the soundtrack for 'Mulan', and in the same week I signed a re... |

Well, thanks to Janet Jackson's right mammary, those censorious days may be back: The precariously low-cut dress Christina Aguilera wore to accept her Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance apparently caused a panic in the Grammy control room, because the cameras struggled to avoid showing the slightest glimpse of her chest.

The Viewers, That's Who - Feb 2004 | The One Unintended Benefit of the Janet Jackson Controversy: Rather than be treated to another overwrought, tawdry burlesque by Christina Aguilera, we were treated to an overwrought, fully clothed performance when she did her song "Beautiful." Of course, when Christina showed up later to collect her award, she looked all trashy again.

| Madonna’s Daughter Likes Christina Better Than Britney - Feb 2004 | Madonna and Britney may be bffs now, but Madonna’s daughter Lourdes has officially jumped on the Christina Aguilera bandwagon.
“Lourdes actually loves Christina,” admits the Material Mom. “She tries to sing like her.”
But how does Madonna feel about Lourdes favoring a pop star who’s recently had some harsh words to say about her pal, Brit?
Ironically, it’s not Christina’s mouth that worries her, but her body. “The moves are far too sexy for my daughter,” Madonna says.

| Christina’s Claws Come Out! - Feb 2004 | Q: It seems like Christina’s got beef with a lot of stars. I heard she’s feuding with Pink, Madonna and Britney?! – Madison, S. Carolina
A: Though Pink and Christina put on a good show when they collaborated on “Lady Marmalade” in 2001, there is no love lost between the dueling divas. In an interview with a British paper, Christina said of her pop rival, “When has Pink not been copying me. In her fashion and so on, it’s always like. ‘Gosh, I just wore that last week.’” Apparently, copycat behavior isn’t the only no-no in the “Dirrty” girl’s songbook.

“I was never good at being the virginal, All-American sweetheart. Before, as a teenager, I was pretty much a manufactured bubblegum pop tart. Or that’s what my then management were whoring me out as. It got my foot in the door, sure, but as I’ve grown into a woman I could see I was changing and that sweet, blonde, good girl just wasn’t me.

Christina vs Kelly
This all started at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November when Christina refused to go on the red carpet while Kelly was doing interviews. While still on the red carpet, Kelly then told reporters that she thought Christina’s music was “crap” and that she was a “cow”.
Then Christina performed a skit during the awards where she was seen throwing darts at a photo of Kelly’s head. So when Kelly got up onstage to present an awards, she said, “If Christi... |

Never mind that the prizes' sponsors, the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, are arguably about eight years late. This well-meaning but often slow and clueless group is always a decade or so behind the times.

| Aquilera admits her dress is 'hookerish' - Feb 07, 2004 | Raunchy pop star Christina Aguilera has defended her often criticised dress sense, but admits it is "a bit hookerish".
According to Ratethemusic.com, the 23-year-old Dirrty singer, who has been a regular feature on 'Worst Dressed' lists for several years, doesn't take her fashion too seriously and considers her outrageous outfits as part of her act.
"It's just a bit of clothing. If I was in a back alley at midnight and wearing a get-up like that, I could see, yes, that's it's a little bit hookerish. But I'm an entertainer, I'm just playing a part," she explained.... |

| Jackson bears a gift for Grammys - Feb 08, 2004 | The awards telecast, long considered a snooze, now has a hook: Who will show what? Keep your eye on Christina Aguilera.
The Grammys' prayers have been answered. After years of being derided as one of the dowdiest, dullest awards shows on television, music's annual all-star assembly has finally acquired an air of controversy.
Janet Jackson's chesty performance during last week's Super Bowl halftime extravaganza has caused the nation to cast a wary eye on the Grammys, waiting for the other cup to drop.

There seems to be a big breakout winner every year at the Grammys. Last year, Norah Jones was a surprise dominator. Before that, it was Alicia Keyes.
This year, the Atlanta-based hip-hop duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi -- aka OutKast -- will be that breakout winner.
Nominated for six awards (including album and record of the year), OutKast's double album "Speakerboxx/The Love Below" is a rare mix of abundantly good music and runaway pop-culture success.

``I have no idea what this means, I don't think it means anything. That's how I feel. My dad would have liked it. But my dad died before I got to know him. Thanks, I guess.''
Thus spoke Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, accepting his group's 1996 Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance, and perhaps the sullen lead singer had a point. There are way too many awards handed out, by any and every entity that can afford some TV time and is connected enough to entice a few ... |

She arrived at the Staples Center in Los Angeles wearing a chartreuse satin dress with a jeweled halter and gathered train, designed by her mother, Tina Knowles. But she opened the show about an hour later in a pink beaded minidress with a hot-pink feather trim.

In 2001, when Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil' Kim and Mya won for their garish, nerve-fraying remake of "Lady Marmalade," I considered not watching the Grammys ever again. But a year later, I gave it another shot and nearly choked on my Kool-Aid when Ashanti picked up a Grammy for best contemporary R&B album.

Actually, the best part of the telecast is the performances, particularly the unusual combinations that can only happen at a really big industry back-slapping like this one.
Beyonce and Prince open the show, followed by a sloppy but good-natured stab at I Saw Her Standing There by Sting, Dave Matthews, Vince Gill and Pharrell Williams. Once again Dave Matthews shows he's way too mellow to actually rock.

| Local Artists Weigh In On Awards Show - Feb 09, 2004 | Taya Lear, a 31-year-old country music singer, was disappointed in Christina Aguilera's performance at Sunday night's 46th Annual Grammy Awards.
"It wasn't her best," Lear of Clyde Township said. "I've seen better."
While Aguilera spent most of her performance kneeling on stage, Beyonce Knowles left tread marks as she accepted five Grammy awards.
"She swept this year up," Lear said.
But it was Martina McBride that took Lear's breath away.
"She has so much soul and feeling into what she's singing," Lear said. "I always understand every word said... |

| A Sanitized Grammys Post-Janet - Feb 09, 2004 | Christina Aguilera came closest to fanning the flames of puritanical ire by accepting her best female pop vocal award wearing less than Jackson had on for all but a fraction of her infamous Super Bowl strip.
"I don't want to have the same thing happen that Janet had happen," Aguilera said.
Aguilera, by tackling the subject overtly, was the exception. |

In light of the inflated uproar that greeted her and Justin Timberlake's halftime show, Jackson chose not to present an award last night. Her absence was noted or alluded to a couple of times and Aguilera made a joke about her own skimpy dress.
"I don't want to have the same thing happen that Janet had done,' Aguilera said while accepting the award for best female pop vocal performance in a dress cut so low CBS briefly imposed a graphic across her chest. "But, uh, if I can keep it together ..." |

She brought the house down with a powerful rendition of "Beautiful." The performance started off very slow and subdued with a large choir to back her up and soon came to a dramatic end.
The singer was also able to come back on stage to receive the award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Award. However, before giving her acceptance speech, she made sure that her very revealing evening gown didn't expose her breasts, as to not end up like Janet Jackson did at the Supe |

| Returning Beyonce's 'Love' - Feb 09, 2004 | LOS ANGELES -- R&B singer Beyonce Knowles and the hip-hop duo OutKast were among the big winners at the Staples Center here on Sunday night during the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, which were easily the funkiest in recent memory.
Beyonce claimed an impressive five Grammys, including best R&B song and best R&B album. The leader of Destiny's Child turned solo artist shared two of the prizes with her boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z, and she performed twice during the show, singing "Dangerously in Love 2" and joining Prince for a fiery opening medley.

| Miffed Stars Leap To Defense Of 'Uninvited' Janet Jackson/Scared Straight Style- - Feb 09, 2004 | | Christina Aguilera kept it clean on the green carpet in a high-neck dress with feathers, then shifted to a conservative suit for her onstage performance of "Beautiful." But when she accepted her award for best female pop vocal performance, she wore a breast-baring light pink gown, which she mused might cause further controversy. Madonna wrapped up everything in a demure pink ruffle number. And Lil' Kim appeared to use lots of double-stick tape just to keep from flashing too much skin out of her deep blue V-neck minidress. |

She changed outfits before accepting her trophy for best female pop vocalist, clutching the straps of her low-cut dress to her chest.
She said she wanted to avoid provoking the kind of ire Jackson absorbed after the Super Bowl halftime stunt in which Justin Timberlake ripped off part of her top.

| High-five Salute For Beyoncé - Feb 09, 2004 | The perennially underdressed Christina Aguilera was one predictable exception, shielding her generous expanse of cleavage with her female-pop-vocal trophy and hoping aloud that "the same thing that happened to Janet" wouldn't happen to her. (It didn't.)
Aguilera sang Beautiful enshrouded in a chorus, orchestra and a lot of smoke. Unusually, she displayed a full set of clothes; not so unusually, she also showed off her full range of vocal tricks. |

| Good Stuff Was Ugly, But The Bad Stuff Was Great - Feb 09, 2004 | Christina Aguilera sang "Beautiful" with full-on dry ice, bad wigs and a choir -- just like a Guns N' Roses concert except without any good songs or guitar solos.
Hilary Duff was naked. No, she wasn't, she was just wearing a pink dress. But when Aguilera came back on to accept her award for something in a dress with 3 feet of cleavage, it became obvious why CBS needed to put a five-minute delay on the broadcast. |

What do you expect from a gal who named her album "Stripped"?

Her delivery still sometimes verges on Mariah Carey calling-all-dogs territory, but she pulls it back, and she's smart and she keeps getting better and I'd bet she's here to stay.

| Grammys Sell Out For Popular Vote - Feb 09, 2004 | The Grammy Awards, which had been the place where music of all genres was played and honored, sold out for a popular viewing audience this year. Very few awards were given out during the show, and darn near all of them were from the popular categories of rock, pop, and R&B.
For the most part, it was a concert, one that seemed to lack focus. It seemed as if popular artists were just randomly thrown together with artists from the less popular genres. It wasn't that I didn't like the perfomances, personally I found them to be interesting. But I feel that country, jazz, and classical, which h... |

Why else would they have chosen to open last night's show with a live medley performance by Prince, a once-lascivious little man who originally bumped and grinded his way into mainstream music with carnal songs of electric flesh?

Although the Janet Jackson (news) controversy bubbled just below the cleavage, with everyone from Aguilera to Martina McBride (news) tugging at their strappy gowns apparently to make sure all were present and accounted for, the matter was addressed directly only once on air.

Dido’s “White Flag,” on the other hand, is an exercise in cool British restraint.

| In living hair color - Feb 11, 2004 |  Some of Hollywood's biggest names — including socialite Nicky Hilton — are making fashion statements by turning down the lights. (Related story: It's the other Hilton)
Sarah Jessica Parker, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Preston, Diane Lane and American Idol's Ryan Seacrest have all taken their hair from shades of blond to brown and, in Aguilera's case, jet-black.
Celebs usually dye their hair when a role demands it — think of Meg Ryan's mousy brown 'do in In the Cut or Renee Zellweger's windswept brunette look in Cold Mountain— but they sometimes do it simply to make a dramatic change.

"It's very difficult to make an outsider understand why I do what I do and why I work so much.

With Stripped (RCA) and Justified (Jive), Christina and Justin grew up and became major players. I was also blown away by Rufus Wainwright's latest album, Want One (Dreamworks). It's a complex piece of music, the sort of album that you put on and it takes you on an incredible ride. That and the White Stripes' Elephant (V2) are two of the finest records that I have heard in a long time.

Britney's drinking a Pepsi. Christina Aguilera's having a Coke. She and Missy are wearing Viva Glam cosmetics. Yao Ming is dribbling his way to McDonalds, where he'll run into Justin Timberlake singing, "I'm loving it."
Of course, why wouldn't they enjoy these products? They're paid to.
Celebrity endorsements are nothing new. They've actually been around since 1899 when celebrities were helping to sell cigars and patent medicines for local businesses. The first mass-marketing attempts started with baseball cards in cigarette packs that were used as gifts t... |

| Grammy-winner is helping raise AIDS awareness - Feb 27, 2004 |  Christina Aguilera sells millions of CDs combining her astounding vocal talent with provocative fashion and music. As a spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund, Aguilera hopes she commands even more attention with her message of awareness.

| 'Dancing' is more dull than dirty - Feb 27, 2004 | An article about "Dirrty Dancing". Christina mentioned.
After the advent of Christina Aguilera, the dancing here just isn't that . . . dirty. (It's not as good either. I never thought I'd yearn for the melodramatic "Solid Gold" moves that Kenny Ortega whipped up for the original.) Try as the movie might to make the Cubans writhing at the club La Rosa Negra seem freakish and foreign, they just look alive, hot, and really thirsty, like extras in a randy soft-drink ad.

| Bright lights, big business - Feb 28, 2004 | Think Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker or Beyonce; the super-blonde tresses of pop queens like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey are so last season, darling. All of which may be bad news for Victoria Beckham, who only this week walked into a north London salon and asked for 18-inch long blonde hair extensions to replace her brunette locks - perhaps in order to vie with Jordan, as it was the same salon as her arch-rival.
