A powerful soprano singer, Christina Aguilera has an amazing range of songs from the rousing Fighter to the sobering yet inspirational Can't Hold Us Down.

Born on December 18, 1980, Christina Aguilera has endured criticism about her revealing - and highly successful - music videos with stripped-down performances like those in Dirrty. Lately, she has upgraded her image to project a more sophisticated but still sexy nightclub singer.

Few would argue about the quality of Christina Aguilera’s powerful singing voice. Taking advantage of her four-octave range, the former Mickey Mouse Club performer can belt out the most impassioned lyrics and hit the highest soprano notes with gusto.

The little girl with the big voice co-writes many of her top hits, basing some lyrics on an unhappy childhood. Christina Aguilera's parents divorced when she was 8 years old after years of alleged physical and emotional abuse. The singer attributes many dark memories to the pain that her abusive father caused, and addresses that pain in her music. Other lyrics speak to forgiveness and healing.
