The 29 year old recording artist, well known for her mixed music and writing songs. The American singer has so far made four successful albums. In this case study i will identify the genres of music she produces, the case study will also include of how she devleoped and made it as a successful singer. I will discuss the way in which her image effected the selling of her music. And what other media contects she has carried out during her life.
Growing with the music industry
The American arist was first seen in an American reality televison program called 'Star Search' set in Hollywood. This then bring her the oppertunity to star in the 'The Micky Mouse club' on the Disney channel, she then took this on for a year. Then when the new film Mulan was produced in 1998 Christina Aguilera had writen and recorded the song 'Reflection' for that film.
Then from 1999 till 2010 the well known recording artist had developed into a huge singer, inwhich everyone knew, and listened to her songs, her three number one songs, were 'Genie In A Bottle', 'What A Girl Wants' and Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)' which were then followed by several collaborations which made Christina Aguilera worldwide! Although she was not making herself stand out from all the other singers, she had no theme or style which effected her wanted dream. So she departed from her magangement and faced a solo carrier which led her to experiment and gamble with what she had. She then created her latest three albums, which were much more successfull, although her last one Bionic was weakly produced and selled cheap.
The American artist Christina Aguilera is now known for her amazing vocal skills, music videos, not forgetting image. She has had a huge exchange of life, from her bad childhood, she is now knowledge for her power over music. She originally is helping charities raise money, and being a part of big issues for example human rights and the world at need.
From entering a television show called 'Star search' she has gained many rewards such as
- Grammy Awards
- Latin Grammy Awards
- Fifteen and three nominations
- Ranked by Rolling Stones, 58th out of 100 of the most Greatest singers of all time
- 20th artist of the decade by Billard
Her image
The Beauty of Chirstina Aguilera has never changed but her style and attitude has, through the years of becoming and progressing as an well-known artist, she has gone from teen to glamerous, from rock'n'roll to doll, her unique taste in style through her career has widened the audience of her music, her music has also changed through the years too. Pop, R&B, soul, blues, adult contemporary.
She begun the career by looking as usual as possible, blode hair blue eyes, young skin, her look was defined as innocence, she was an inspiration to the older generation and the younger generation, because she had no sign of attitude and rudeness, this was what the generation was like back in the 90's. In the year of 2002, Christina Aguilera released her new Album 'Stripped' showing of her new look, the look that attrated all types of audience, the dark hair the shocking new way of seduction was introduced, if Christina Aguilera could pull it off and exchange her look completely then so could her fans. she even reffered herself to 'Xtina!'A percentage of the songs in her album 'Stripped' was produced by Scott Storch; a Candian record producer, and was also produced by a singer-songwriter, Linda Perry.
Although she was a successful singer, when she trnaformed her look, the United States of America didnt take too well to it, although this may be so, Christina was happy with her transformation and said that it reflected her personality much more. Even though the U.S.A didnt fancy the video of Dirty' Irelend and the UK, placed the single as a number one on the chart hits. Her second single, hit the number one in SEVEN countries, and number 2 in USA.
Originally Aguilera joined Justin Timberlake for a world tour, but decided to go solo internationaly, due to a stage accident.
Christina has gone from good to bad, brunnette to blonde, but never powefull to weak, she has a strong voice and she knows it, her confidence through out the years have become stronger rather than weaker, her ability to the singing world, leads other artists to a competition, i even feel Lady Gaga was in competition, Christina was the first one to change her look the first one who hit the big wide world, but now that Lady Gaga has come along, i think Christina Aguilera has backed down, although she would win the powerful competition hands down. Christina Aguilera is now a mother, but her look is still attractive and her music is still brand new to me as a fan, although i say that i do tink she is coming back out to the singing world. Her looks are now being compared to Marylin Monroe.
Vocal Aguilera
Its said that the American singer is compared to huge vocal artists such as Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. Although she has an amazing singing career, it has been quoted that she has 'oversung' too much at concerts. There have been producers with conrerns because they feel Christina screams in her singing. The theme in her music is 'LOVE'. She has also produced two songs reflecting her childhood (child abuse that is) and most if not all of her songs are showing of her vocal cords. The artist that influences Aguilera is the blues singer Etta James, and has been for the past serveral years. She is also inspired by the musical 'The Sound of Music'.
Overall record career
Christina Aguilera is a well known record artist, and doesnt stop even when she does drop, she has made products such as perfumes and gift sets, let alone her albums. Her voice is so strong, her strength to go further than she already is, and her ability to go that extra mile, for example charity and world issues has uplifted her fans.
