Christina Aguilera
From Mouseketeering and getting her start singing a Disney song to putting out an album called 'Stripped,' it's been a strange run for Christina Aguilera. We might be feeling a little 'Hurt' now, but with X-tina, that's a good thing. Let's take a look back at where's she came from, and maybe get a little 'Dirrty.'

'Reflection' of Christina
Though she'd been singing for years before and had starred with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in the Mickey Mouse Club, Christina's first big pop star break came when she was chosen to sing 'Reflection' for the Disney movie 'Mulan.'

'What a Girl Wants'
We're going to guess Grammys, since Christina Aguilera won one for Best New Artist for her self-titled album. Selling eight million copies couldn't have hurt either.

'Lady Marmalade'
From 'Mulan' to 'Moulin Rouge,' Christina stepped up to join three other stars for 'Lady Marmalade,' complete with ... we're not sure what that costume is, but it made sense at the time.

Christina Goes Wild
With her second album, 'Stripped,' Christina Aguilera decided that clothes were just way too uncomfortable, so she stopped wearing them in a lot of photo shoots. Oh, her album sold really well and even the critics liked it, but no one was paying much attention to her singing, if you know what we mean.

'Justified' and
'Stripped' TourTo promote her second album, Christina Aguilera toured with fellow Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake, who was promoting his 'Justified' CD. Rumors flew around that JT and X-Tina were a couple, which for all we know is what started Britney Spears spiraling down. Honestly, Christina would have been lucky to have him.

Christina Gets 'Dirrty'
The lead single from 'Stripped,' 'Dirrty' had a video with Christina ... um, boxing? We think? Or fighting? All we know was that things were muddy, there were a lot of half-naked people and someone stuck an extra 'r' in the song name. Oh, and the video was pretty hot.

'Back to Basics'
After a two year break, Christina's third album offered up sounds from the '20s, '30s and '40s with a modern edge ... at least from what she said. We're not exactly that in to music from the 1920's. Still, we know what we like, and that's a blonde Christina Aguilera, back from the black in 'Stripped.'

'Candyman'
OH, that's what 1940's music is. 'Candyman' seems almost too sweet to have come from X-Tina, but the video's hot enough to melt that sugar ... or whatever the candy metaphor is. We like the song, but we just wonder why no one's mashed it up with Gwen Stefani's 'The Sweet Escape' yet?
-
'Hurt'
We don't want to leave Christina Aguilera 'Hurt,' so we thought we'd end on how much we love her new album, her new/old look and her return to some classiness. We're all about 'Stripped' X-Tina, but we got that enough from Britney Spears ... we like our Christina showcasing her best asset: her voice.
