It is the first analytical, serious and uncensored look at Christina’s life and her rise to the pinnacle of the pop world. A controversial and elusive figure, Christina Aguilera has polarized and mesmerized audiences since the beginning. While fans praise her sultry, soulful voice, a growing contingent of detractors finds her whole persona tacky. Even other artists, including Eminem have openly proclaimed their dislike of her; and her idol, Mariah Carey, refused to talk to her. Love her or hate her, Christina’s success is without precedent. Millions and millions of her albums sold worldwide. It seems that everything she touches turns platinum. In Christina Aguilera: A Star is Made, author Pier Dominguez traces th

Christina Aguilera (Blue Banner Biographies)
Christina Aguilera began performing in talent shows when she was six years old. She appeared on “Star Search” at the age of eight. At ten she sang the National Anthem for the Pittsburgh Steelers and at twelve, she joined the cast of “The New Mickey Mouse Club.” If she seems in a hurry, she is. “I’ve wanted to be a star since I was six or seven,” she said. The release of her debut album soared to the top of the music charts scoring two number one hit singles with sales surpassing the ten million mark. All this, along with winning the 2000 Grammy for Best New Artist was not bad for a kid who had not yet turned twenty. Her success continued with “Mi Reflejo,” the smash Spanish language version of her debut, followed by her hit holiday rel

A wonderful Christina Aguilera biography,
Before buying this book, be aware that this is not your average biography of a pop singer. Pier Dominguez has written a well-researched, detailed, up-to-date and intimate biography of one of pop music’s biggest superstars, Christina Aguilera. The book is filled with interesting information and anecdotes about Christina Aguilera, covering her life up to late 2002. It covers topics that those glossy fan books do not, including the abusive tactics of Christina’s father, information about the Britney/Christina rivalry, intimate details about Christina’s ex-boyfriend Jorge Santos, the complete story of Christina firing her longtime manager Steve Kurtz, and so much more. If you want a book that exposes the media hoopla and tells the truth about Christina’s life, then this is the perfect book for you.

|Good book,
This is the first and only current biography of one of pop music’s most controversial ladies, Christina Aguilera. I recieved this book as a Christimas present and eagerly devoured it in two days. I found it to be a quick, yet balanced and imformative biography. The book itself isn’t one of those fan guides stuffed with pictures- it’s more like a behind-the-scenes look at Christina Aguilera’s life up to 2003. In it, you’ll find information about her early years singing, her days on The Mickey Mouse Club, her determination to become a singing star, how she got a record deal, the story behind Christina’s transformation from a sweet innocent girl to an independant young woman, the story behind her controversial romance with Jorge Santos, and much, much more. This book does not always chronicle Christina as a perfect robot, it shows us that she has faults and feelings, too. You’ll even get to read about the making of “Lady Marmelade” and Christina and Britney’s “rivalry.” This book allows you to take a peek and see what Christina’s life really is as a pop star. If you are looking for a detailed, up-do-date, intimate, and well-researched biography of Christina Aguilera, this would be the book to turn to.

|Excellent,
Biographies of singers are suppose to be short, quick, exciting, yet informative and straight to the point…Just as its publicity states, this is certainly NOT one of your average short, to the point, insta-biographies that have become so popular. It chronicles the rise of a star while demonstrating how the music industry constructed Aguilera. In the best tradition of the thorough, unauthorized biography, this book is more than the life of the star.

|Not Very Imformative…,
This is another title in the “Real Life Reader Biography” series. These books are quick, short biographies of famous singers, actors, entertainers, and atheletes. I enjoy reading them when I want to learn more about someone, (there are over 100 titles in the series) but these books do not give you much information if you are planning on doing a report or a project about the person. This entry in the series about Christina Aguilera discusses her life up until the release of “Christina Aguilera”. It includes many black-and-white photos of Christina and plenty of sidebars. However, this book wasn’t very imformative, and it was only 32 pages. Plus, the printing was VERY large. This book doesn’t really tell about Christina’s life outside of her singing career, and that was one thing that I really wanted to find out in this book. I would recommend this book to younger Christina Aguilera fans or to anyone who hasn’t ever read any material about her life before. For those fans who want a longer and more detailed biography of Christina Aguilera, I would recommend you reading the book “Christina Aguilera: A Star is Made”, by Pier Dominguez.
