Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American Idol pop singer and songwriter.

Christina Aguilera took creative control over her second studio album Stripped (2002), which produced the Hip-hop-influenced "Dirrty" and the award-winning "Beautiful". It received mixed reviews, and Christina Aguilera's increasingly sexual image during its promotion became the subject of much criticism and controversy. She contributed to several other artists' songs in 2004 and 2005 and married record executive Jordan Bratman.

Christina María Aguilera third studio album Back to Basics (2006), which was preceded by the hit single "Ain't No Other Man", included elements of soul, jazz and blues music and was released to good sales and positive critical reception.
