Christina Aguilera belongs to the second category - have to be a weak-sighted and severely muffled, that already in the early years did not see in this wayward girl huge potential.

The star, who came from the East

Christina Maria Aguilera was born in New York on 18 December 1980 at a blended family, her father was an American Ecuadorian origin, whose ancestors were Irish mother. The head of the family was a professional soldier of the US Army, and the fate of families of professional soldiers the same in any country, be it Russia or the States - constantly moving from place to place.

It turned out that Aguilera is not only felt in the retro style like a fish in water, but is able to give this area a new sound. In June 2010, he was released the next album «Bionic». Meanwhile, Cristina combines work and family life: in 2005, she is married to a musician, producer and her personal manager Jordan Bratmanom (incidentally, their wedding cost $ 3 million), and since January 2008 he is also a mother a son named Max.
