13	Christina Maria Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) began her career in the spotlight as a former member of ''Series/TheMickeyMouseClub'' revival as teenager. Known as a [[PintsizedPowerhouse little girl with a big voice]], she signed to a major label in the late '90s and became first marketed as a [[IdolSinger bubblegum pop singer]] before seeking more [[GenreRoulette creative control]] thereafter musically and adopting a more [[{{Stripperific}} 'dirrty']] image on her sophomore album to continued commercial success.
14
15	Soon after, she started embracing a neo-{{Burlesque}} persona, by which time she [[GrowingTheBeard finally found a lyrical constant]], only to retire from touring in 2008 to look after her son Max. She returned to the music scene in 2010 with the album ''Bionic'', which was poorly-received and led to speculation that her career was over, largely due to ''Bionic'''s sound and visuals drawing comparisons to the then rising Music/LadyGaga. Things recovered slightly later in the year as the official soundtrack for the musical film ''{{Film/Burlesque}}'' (which she starred in alongside {{Music/Cher}}) was released, which featured mostly Aguilera performances achieved a gold certification in the US.
16
17	She became a coach on the talent show ''Series/TheVoice'' in 2011, alternating between seasons to focus on her family and prevent herself from burning out. In the meantime, she released another album, ''Lotus'', which had ever lower sales than ''Bionic'', and subsequently became CanonDiscontinuity. Aguilera made a return to ''The Voice'', but has not appeared since season 10 in 2016.
18
19	In June 2018, Aguilera released her eighth studio album, ''Liberation'', six years after ''Lotus''. It debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 and received a much more positive reception than ''Lotus'' or ''Bionic''.
20
21	She has featured her vocals on up to 25 vocal performances to date, by artists including, but not limited to, Music/Maroon5, Music/CeeLoGreen, Music/{{Nelly}}, Music/HerbieHancock, Music/{{TI}}, Music/{{Diddy}}, Music/NickiMinaj, Music/{{The Rolling Stones\|Band}}, Music/{{Pink}}, Music/RickyMartin, Music/{{Mya}}, Music/MissyElliott, Music/{{Pitbull}} and Music/AGreatBigWorld. Aguilera is a six-time UsefulNotes/GrammyAward winner who has sold 50 million albums worldwide to date. Her number one hits include: "Come On Over" (2000), "What a Girl Wants" (1999), and the ever youthful, "Genie In a Bottle" (1999). Later hits have included "Beautiful", "Candyman", and "Ain't No Other Man".
22
23	Aguilera is considered to be among the most talented and critically acclaimed out of the [[TheNineties late 1990s]] blonde teen pop singers trend that was kicked off by Music/BritneySpears, and her peers also include Music/JessicaSimpson and Music/MandyMoore.

61	!!Tropes in a bottle:
62	[[folder:Music and album tropes]]
63	* AllWomenAreLustful: Is outspoken about her sexuality (See below), The ''Bionic'' and ''Stripped'' albums, and within ''Back To Basics'': "Nasty Naughty Boy" and "I Got Trouble" prove it.
64	* AlbumFiller: Since she took back control of her career, her albums have had at least 18 tracks, most fans and casual listeners take at least 8 tracks off. She's known for overfilling her albums...
65	** She also puts at least 4 interludes on her 18 track albums!
66	* AwardBaitSong: "Reflection", from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' soundtrack. She's also re-recorded it for [[Film/Mulan2020 the 2020 live-action remake's]] soundtrack.
67	* ArcWords: "Me" & "I" in all her titles: "Army Of Me", "Sing For Me", "Best Of Me", "Save Me From Myself", "Loving Me 4 Me", "Keep On Singing My Song", "Mercy On Me", "Don't Make Me Love You"...
68	** "All I Need, I Am", "I Turn To You", "I'm Okay", "I Got Trouble", "I Hate Boys", "I Come Undone", "I Will", "All I Wanna Do", "But I'm A Good Girl"...
69	* AuthorTract: Her turn on ''Saturday Night Live'' during her "Dirrty" phrase spent a lot of time defending her right to do and say, anything she wants. She also wrote a thesis after ''Lotus'' under performed defending her choices to not tour since 2007 and telling her fans her music '''IS''' her priority.
70	* BadGirlSong: "Dirrty" and "Still Dirrty"' Not Myself Tonight..
71	* BeYourself: "The Voice Within", "Hello", "I Will Be" and "Reflection"
72	* BreakUpSong: "Impossible", "Underappreciated", "Walk Away", "Fighter".
73	* {{Bowdlerization}}: The music video for "Dirrty" was censored in Thailand due to Thai-language posters that advertised its sex tourism (including mention of child prostitutes).
74	** The Radio Disney version of "Genie in a Bottle" was heavily edited to be suitable for children, including changing the famous line from the chorus to "You gotta ''treat'' me the right way." The full version of the Radio Disney edit is lost, but part of it can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKEu8jIQ0Pw here]]. The Dove Cameron cover of the song for Disney's ''Film/{{Descendants}}'' was actually less edited then the version Christina recorded for Radio Disney.
75	* BSide: "We're A Miracle", "Too Beautiful For Words".
76	* CallBack: "Lotus" features a lot of lyrical and musical call backs to her earlier works: "Reflection" gets a shout out in the introduction, "I won't let you bring me down" in "Best Of Me" reminding people of "Beautiful", "I'm A Fighter" in "Army Of Me", pretty self explanatory, "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?." in "Around The World", reminds people of "Lady Marmalade", "Red Hot Kinda Love" refers to "Infatuation" on Stripped. "Let There Be Love" reminds many of her works on "Bionic".
77	* CanonDiscontinuity: She never talks about ''Lotus''. Period. She just changes the question or draws the topic back to her current projects.
78	* CarefulWithThatAxe: Most of her music is this. The exceptions would be "Save Me From Myself", "I Am", "Cruz", and "All I Need".
79	* ChewingTheScenery: The lady can ''sing''. See "Hurt", "You Lost Me" and "Mercy On Me" for prime examples.
80	* CircusSynths: ''Back to Basics'' features the songs "Hurt" and "Enter the Circus", which make great use of circus music.
81	* CompensatingForSomething: "Can't Hold Us Down" contains the following line:
82	--> "You must talk so big, to make up for smaller things"
83	* ConceptAlbum: Two major ones:
84	** ''Stripped'' is her stripping her facade away and showing all that she can do in music.
85	** ''Back To Basics'' is her doing an album with early 20th century sound backing and occasional contemporary twists.
86	** ''Bionic'' is her trying to be creative with doing mostly electro-pop. Unfortunately, this album was unsuccessful due to the hype backlash and many comparisons to Music/LadyGaga, who was red-hot at the time.
87	* CoverVersion: "Music/LadyMarmalade" (originally recorded by Music/{{Labelle}}), "I Turn To You" (originally recorded by BoyBand All-4-One), All Right Now (originally recorded by Free), Car Wash (originally recorded by Rose Royce), and her Christmas album.
88	* DistinctDoubleAlbum: The ''Back to Basics'' album. Disc one was standard pop with a throwback to jazz, funk and soul, and disc two comprised live music reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s.
89	* DoubleEntendre: Frequently. A notable one that caused controversy is in the song ''Genie In a Bottle'' where she sings "I'm a genie in a bottle/You gotta rub me the right way", considering she was barely legal at the time the song was released.
90	* DoubleStandard: "Can't Hold Us Down" is a TakeThat on the assumption that it's okay for men to do certain things (such as having multiple sexual partners) but not for women to do the same.
91	* EthicalSlut: In songs like "Dirrty", "Can't Hold Us Down" and "Still Dirrty" and the ''Bionic'' record.
92	* EraSpecificPersonality: Two very specific personalities are present in her work:
93	** She was "Xtina" in her ''Bionic'', ''Lotus'', and ''Stripped'' eras.
94	** "Baby Jane" was her personality for ''Back To Basics''.
95	* EpicRocking: "Keep On Singing My Song" is extremely long compared to the rest of the tracks on Stripped.
96	* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "The Voice Within" fades into "I'm Ok".
97	* {{Fanservice}}: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150502233156/http://www.bestfan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/LOTUS-artwork-christina-aguilera-32445061-610-370.jpg As seen here.]]
98	* FemmeFatale: ''Stripped'' has elements of this in songs like "Dirty" and "Get Mine Get Yours". "Your Body"'s music video has her killing heaps of men, and ''Bionic'' and ''Lotus'' have some songs which feature this as well.
99	* FriendsWithBenefits: "Get Mine, Get Yours" is about this. Shamelessly.
100	--> "I want your body, not your heart."
101	* FollowYourHeart: "The Voice Within", "Keep On Singing My Song", "Hello", and "Reflection".
102	* GenreRoulette: If you played only her singles one after another you'd get a lot of different sounds: country ("Just A Fool"), dance pop ("Not Myself Tonight"), r&b ("Your Body"), '60s pop ("Ain't No Other Man"). This is even further developed in her albums, especially ''Stripped'' and ''Bionic'', which are even more random with their variety of flavors in songs.
103	* GreatestHitsAlbum: ''Keeps Getting Better: A Decade Of Hits''.
104	* GriefSong: "Hurt" is about the singer's loss of a loved one.
105	* GodivaHair: In both the ''Stripped'' and ''Lotus'' album covers.
106	* HotterAndSexier: While her early material was always a little suggestive, ''Stripped'' was when she turned up the sex in her music - as she was fed up with being portrayed as a squeaky-clean pop princess.
107	* IdolSinger: Her self-titled debut album sold 17 million copies worldwide and had 3 #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
108	* IncrediblyLongNote: A feature of her songs. Especially notable: "On Our Way".
109	* IntercourseWithYou: "Sex For Breakfast", "Dynamite", "Get Mine Get Yours", "Desnudate", "Nasty Naughty Boy", "I Got Trouble", "Infatuation", "Woohoo", "Vanity", "Your Body" among others.
110	** "Genie In A Bottle" [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this, with AnAesop about not "giv(ing) it away" to a boy easily.
111	* IApprovedThisMessage :Made a bunch of these for The Voice and her Lotus album.
112	* ItsAllAboutMe: "Vanity". (See Arche Words, for more).
113	* LargeHam: In You Lost Me:
114	--> We had Magi-i-i-ic
115	--> And this i-i-is tragic,
116	--> YOU couldn't KEEP YOUR HANDS...to yourself...
117	** Related to ChewingTheScenery above and MelismaticVocals below.
118	* LeavingTheNestSong: "Cruz" is an ode to leaving behind familiar things that have been holding you back. Using the metaphor of driving away in a car, Aguilera sings of being "finally free" from "yesteryears and broken dreams," and "feeling like I've never felt before." As liberating as the song is, there is a tinge of reservation as the narrator acknowledges that she will miss her old life "one day."
119	* LighterAndSofter:
120	** The sequel song to "Dirrty", ''Back to Basics'''s "Still Dirrty" is much more upbeat and light-hearted in tone than its predecessor.
121	** ''Bionic'' was more fun than ''Back To Basics'' that was very dramatic and deep and ''Lotus'' has less apologetic ballads then ''Bionic''.
122	* LoudnessWar: ''Bionic'', according to the [[http://www.dr.loudness-war.info/details.php?id=5162 Dynamic Range Database]], has "hideous sound quality" and is "extremely flat sounding and dead". To a lesser extent, ''Back to Basics'' and ''Lotus''.
123	%%* LoveIsADrug: Invoked in "Walk Away":%%Quotes aren't acceptable context.
124	%%--> ''"I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure."''
125	* LyricalTic: She has a reputation for slipping random "Wah"s and "Ooh Oooh"s all over her songs.
126	* MadonnaWhoreComplex: ''Sorry I'm not a virgin/Sorry I'm not a slut''. from ''Stripped''.
127	* MelismaticVocals: Well known for fitting 7 note melismas into her songs live. '''Especially''' in the "Back to Basics" tour!
128	* MotorMouth: Bionic is a good example. as she borderline raps the verses.
129	%%* MisandrySong: "I Hate Boys".
130	* MyGirlIsNotASlut: She points out the DoubleStandard constantly. "The guy gets all the glory the more he can score, and the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore." -- "Can't Hold Us Down"
131	* MysticalLotus: ''Lotus'' centers around the flower as a symbolism of "rebirth" following the singer's divorce.
132	* {{Narcissist}}: The narrator of "Vanity", ''and how''. (See Arch Words)
133	* NewSoundAlbum: She does this every album, but ''Bionic'' and ''Back To Basics'' have the biggest evolution of sound from "'50s inspired jazz pop" to "electronic dance pop from the future". Also her debut SelfTitledAlbum and ''Stripped'' both have an R&B/Sexy/Personal edge which unites them together thematically. Bionic and Lotus are both electric pop albums aimed at her haters.
134	* NotStayingForBreakfast: Pretty heavily implied in "Your Body", "I Got Trouble" and "Nasty Naught Boy".
135	%%* PrecisionFStrike: In "Not Myself Tonight".%%Quotes aren't acceptable context.
136	%%-->''If you don't like it, fuck you.''
137	* PissTakeRap: "Bobblehead" is a heavy rap about how all her haters are bobbleheads, somewhat tongue in cheek.
138	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "Make Over" is a major example of this, but this sort of singing is seen all over her live performances and most of her albums besides ''Bionic''.
139	* ThePrimaDonna: "Prima Donna", "Bionic", "Not Myself Tonight", "Glam"... really, her image since ''Back To Basics''.
140	* RageQuit: Her rather long breaks are forms of this (4 years average), but the most notable instance of this was the ''Bionic'' tour, which was cancelled due to her marriage falling apart, the music being not reviewed positively, and a laser-like focus on her movie coming later on in the year. She also quit ''The Voice'' to tour but then quit her tour to stay at home with her kid.
141	* RedPillBluePill: Used in "Birds Of Prey".
142	-->Taking the blue pill only made you cry
143	-->And all that the red pill did was make you forget why
144	* RuleOfSymbolism: ''Bionic'' and ''Lotus'' concepts and covers.
145	* RunningGag: Her first couple of albums had this theme of "Just Me" to their titles, SelfTitledAlbum, ''Stripped, and ''Back to Basics'', all refer to the bare simple part of art/life.
146	* RockstarSong: Just a couple of songs here and there in her discography: "Welcome", "Bionic", "Still Dirrty", "Here To Stay", "Keep On Singing My Song", "Make Over", "Vanity", "Keeps Getting Better", "Not Myself Tonight", "Glam", "Prima Donna", "I Am", "Loving Me 4 Me", "Mercy On Me", "Save Me From Myself", "Army Of Me", "Sing For Me", "Best Of Me", "Shut Up", "Empty Words" "Circles", "Lotus", among others.
147	* ScrewYourself: "Vanity"....Something about touching herself..
148	* SeductionLyric: "Your Body" is all about a woman seducing a man as an act of sending the message that SexIsGood. The song has been described as sex-positive feminism. Explicit and censored versions of the song exist.
149	-->''Hey boy, I don't need to know where you've been\
150	All I need to know is you in, no need for talkin' [...]\
151	All I wanna do is fuck your body\
152	Tonight's your lucky night, I know you want it''
153	* SequelSong: "Still Dirrty" from ''Back to Basics'' to "Dirrty" from ''Stripped''.
154	* SexAsRiteOfPassage: Stated in "Stripped"
155	* SexIsGood: "Your Body" is basically a SeductionLyric, which says "all I want to do is" IntercourseWithYou, appearing as only having genuinly good intentions and meaning no threat.
156	%%* SillyLoveSongs: ''Back To Basics'' is this idea, made into an album, especially Disc 1.
157	%%** "Loving Me 4 Me" "Infatuation".
158	* SingerNameDrop: "Bionic", "Intro (Back To Basics), "Thank You (Dedication To Fans)", and others.
159	* SlutShaming: Has actively fought against this.
160	* StrictlyFormula: Ever since ''Stripped'' her singles have been released, upbeat party song ("Dirrty", "Ain't No Other Man", "Not Myself Tonight", "Your Body") and then a ballad ("Beautiful", "Hurt", "You Lost Me", "Just a Fool").
161	* StudioChatter: Used extensively on ''Stripped'', particularly on "Impossible" and "Keep On Singing My Song".
162	* TakeThatCritics: Present in Aguilera's lyrics to her critics
163	--> If I wanna be provocative, well that ain't a sin, / Maybe you're not comfortable in your own skin." —"Still Dirrty".
164	** Her song "Here to Stay" also counts very, very much. The ultimate Take That song. And "Keep on Singing My Song".
165	* TakeThat: "F. U. S. S." on ''Back To Basics'', to Scott Storch, a former producer and she also referred to Music/BritneySpears and Madonna as performers and considered herself a "Real Artist". She also had a feud with Kelly Osbourne, for over 10 years and outright didn't acknowledge Music/LadyGaga when she was new in 2008.
166	** And her above songs about the MadonnaWhoreComplex, MyGirlIsNotASlut and other feminist issues.
167	* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: "Talked me down from every ledge" in "Ain't No Other Man".
168	* TranslatedCoverVersion: Aguilera has done covers of her own English-language songs in Spanish.
169	* TrueArtIsAngsty: Invoked. It's the reason why ''Stripped'' was created.
170	* {{Tsundere}}: "Keeps Getting Better" is a Type A.
171	--> "Some days I'm a super bitch/Up to my old tricks/but it won't last forever."
172	--> "Next day I'm your super girl/Out to save the world/and it keeps getting better"
173	* UnusualEuphemism: "Woohoo", a collaboration with Music/NickiMinaj, uses "woohoo" as a term for oral sex.
174	* VocalEvolution: Her voice mellowed artistically, during the ''Bionic'' album and "Moves Like Jagger". Despite this she started using belting and wailing more in public appearances and live gigs, to mixed results.
175	* WolverinePublicity: She's done 25 features and collaborations, often to great success.
176	* XtremeKoolLetterz: "Dirrty", Xtina (because "X" is used as an abbreviation for "Christ" (as in "Xmas") for reasons dating back to Greek times), and "Loving Me 4 Me".
177	* YouAreNotAlone: "Beautiful" is a very notable example of this trope in song form. "The Voice Within", "Hello" and "Little Dreamer" are other examples. This is a theme in ''Stripped''.
178	[[/folder]]
179
180	[[folder:Music video and tour tropes]]
181	* AllWomenLoveShoes: She has a shoe room in her house.
182	* AnimalMotifs: Insects in "Fighter". Her costumes undergo a metamorphosis like butterflies and moths.
183	%%* BrainsAndBondage: What certain parts of her fanbase assume based upon that "Not Myself Tonight" video.
184	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Multiple times in the video for ''Candyman'', though most obviously in the callout to Music/TheAndrewsSisters, where Aguilera clones are shown with hair of each color ''simultaneously''.
185	* BrokenAesop: The video for "Can't Hold Us Down" undermines the song's message that women shouldn't be silenced for speaking their minds or viewed as sluts for promiscuous behaviour - by turning the conflict into a straight-up battle of the sexes in the street. This greatly simplifies a larger conflict - ignoring {{Female Misogynist}}s who slut shame as well and male feminists who defend women. What's more is that the song calls out males enjoying double standards when it comes to sexuality, yet the video ends with the women on the street spraying all the men with a hose thereby exploiting [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale a female double standard]].
186	* CombatStilettos: Sports them in "Fighter".
187	* CelebrityEndorsement: She started showing her perfume in her music videos since 2010 and she also endorsed everything in ''Your Body''.
188	%%* CleavageWindow: Not Myself Tonight, Dirrty, and The Voice Within.
189	* DarkerAndEdgier: For her early videos, it was usually just a fun, typical, lighthearted video of her and some dancers doing a routine (one exception is "I Turn To You", which depicted a girl surviving a car crash). Then starting with the Stripped era, they became edgier. The videos for "Dirrty" and "Can't Hold Us Down" are her raunchiest to date. The video for "Beautiful" addresses the song's message of loving yourself for who you are. "The Voice Within" is very bleak-looking (see Deliberately Monochrome). "Fighter" is pure NightmareFuel. She still makes some lighter videos like "Candyman", but for the most part, they have depth and edge to them that her first few lacked. Could also count as GrowingTheBeard.
190	* DeliberatelyMonochrome:
191	** The music video for "The Voice Within" is entirely in black-and-white.
192	** The introduction to "Ain't No Other Man" is in black-and-white, matching the 1940s aesthetic.
193	%%* {{Dominatrix}}: "Not Myself Tonight".
194	%%* EroticEating: "Not Myself Tonight" shows her lapping up milk from a bowl seductively.
195	* TheFashionista: She has a big wardrobe and likes to talk about her clothes.
196	* FormFittingWardrobe: All the time except for in "The Voice Within".
197	* FairyTaleWeddingDress: In her wedding to her first husband, shown in her "Save Me From Myself" video.
198	%%* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Often in show.
199	* DenserAndWackier: Her videos since ''Back to Basics'' have been odd and unthematic. "Not Myself Tonight" has odd symbolism, "You Lost Me" is spacey, "Your Body" has blue blood and random endorsements which don't make sense.
200	* DepravedBisexual: A certain scene in "Not Myself Tonight" outright states this, as Aguilera's character kisses a bound Jenna Dewan and boasts about taking shots in the club and "kissing all the boys and the girls".
201	%%* {{Fanservice}}: In "Not Myself Tonight" and "Dirrty".
202	%%* FemmeFatale: In her "Your Body" video.
203	%%* FightClubbing: In her "Dirrty" video.
204	* GlamorousWartimeSinger: Her persona in the "Candyman" music video, which also includes numerous {{Shout Out}}s to famous pin-up paintings of the era as well.
205	%%* GirlOnGirlIsHot: "Not Myself Tonight" and "Dirrty".
206	%%* HellBentForLeather: All of her "stripped" era performances.
207	%%* InDaClub: In "Dirrty" and "Not Myself Tonight".
208	%%* LingerieScene: Most of her music videos.
209	%%* LeotardOfPower: Most of Not Myself Tonight
210	* {{Overcrank}}: Random moments in her "Stripped: Live From London" performances.
211	* OfCorsetsSexy: Back To Basics tour second act.
212	* PaintedOnPants: Live and during the "Your Body" video.
213	* PrettyInMink: Aguilera wore a few furs, including [[http://www.mtv.com/photos/the-evolution-of-christina-aguilera/1638147/4828805/photo.jhtml a white rabbit coat]] in the video for rapper Nelly's "Tilt Ya Head Back". Often in ''Back To Basics'' era.
214	%%* PeacockGirl: One of her Back To Basics tour outfit, second act.
215	* RageAgainstTheReflection: One of the music videos for "Beautiful" features, among other scenes, an anorexic teen looking at herself in the mirror disapprovingly, then punching the mirror to shatter it, symbolizing her refusal to agonize over her body.
216	* {{Retraux}}[=/=]GenreThrowback: The music video "Candyman" is a raunchy love letter to the styles of the 30's and 40's.
217	%%** Hurt also uses some of these elements.
218	%%* RuleOfSymbolism: In the "You Lost Me" video.
219	* ScrewYourself: She says outright she turns herself on in "Vanity".
220	* ShowgirlSkirt: In her concerts, some of her "Lady Marmalade" performances have her wearing a black lace outfit with a train of red feathers.
221	%%* ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: A few videos, especially "Not Myself Tonight" and "Dirrty".
