Biographie de Christina Aguilera

Biographie de Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera est née le 18 Décembre 1980 à Staten Island, NY, USA. L'histoire de Christina Aguilera est un rêve hollywoodien qui s'est réalisé. Cette jeune fille d'un militaire et d'une violiniste/pianiste âgée de 18 ans a parcouru le monde vivant successivement au Japon, en Floride, au Texas et dans le New Jersey, avant de s'installer à Wexford, Pennsylvanie, dans la banlieue de Pittsburgh. "Aussi loin que je me souvienne, j'ai voulu faire ce métier" confie la blonde aux yeux bleus.

Christina a commencé à se produire dans des spectacles à son école. Puis elle se présenta à l'age de huit ans à une émission diffusée dans tous les Etats-Unis: "Star Search"; à dix ans elle chantait l'hymne national lors des matchs des équipes sportives professionnelles de Pittsburgh (Steelers et Penguins), et à 12 ans gagna sa place dans le "New Mickey Mouse Club", partageant le devant de la scène dans ce programme télévisuel avec plusieurs stars en devenir telles Britney Spears, J.C. et Justin du groupe 'N Sync et la star de "Felicity", Keri Russell.

Après deux années passées dans le show hebdomadaire de Disney, Christina s'expatria pour perfectionner ses talents musicaux. Elle enregistra un duo , "All I Wanna Do", avec la pop star japonaise Keizo Nakanishi, fit une apparition dans le clip et partit en tournée à travers le Japon. A son retour aux Etats-Unis début 1998, Christina fut invitée à auditionner pour l'enregistrement de "Reflection", bande originale du dessin animé de Disney "Mulan".

La recherche, entreprise par les studios, d'une chanteuse avec une voix puissante et un large éventail vocal prit rapidement fin. A la demande de son manager, Christina enregistra sur sa chaîne de salon une maquette de la chanson de Whitney Houston "I Wanna Run To You" qui fut envoyé en express à Disney. Et ,en 48 heures, la jeune fille à la voix mature unique se retrouva dans un studio à Los Angeles pour enregistrer "Reflection".

La même semaine RCA Records la fit signer un contrat. Mulan sortit en June 1998 et "Reflection" atteint le Top 15 A/C single, alors que Christina la chantait en direct à la TV dans "CBS This Morning" et le "Donnie & Marie Show." "Le thème de la chanson - la difficulté à se forger une identité - était quelque chose qui me concernait en tant qu'adolescente" déclara Christina. La chanson plus également aux critiques, qui la nominèrent aux Golden Globe Awards (les victoires de la musique américaines pour la meilleur bande originale de film.

Sur son premier album pour RCA, Christina continue à se dévoiler et à faire montre d'une voix spéciale. Du tempo dance-pop de son premier single, "Genie In A Bottle" au fun de "What A Girl Wants", en passant par les sons gospels de "So Emotional" et la ballade "I Turn To You", Christina aborde le thème de la recherche de sa propre identité mêlée aux incertitudes liées à l'adolescence et au passage à l'âge adulte. "J'étais excitée de travailler avec tellement de grands producteurs sur cet album" dit Christina. Parmi eux se trouvent Carl Sturken et Evan Rogers ['N Sync, Boyzone, Brand New Heavies], David Frank, Steve Kipner, Travon Potts [co-auteur du tube "Angel of Mine”], Matthew Wilder, Diane Warren et Guy Roche [Brandy, Dru Hill, Aaliya, K-Ci & Jo Jo].

Les chansons rythmées et les splendides ballades sont bien la preuve que Christina n'est pas juste un phénomène de mode, mais une candidate sérieuse au titre de Voix de sa génération. Ce premier album marque une nouvelle étape pour Christina sur la route de son succès. Étant données ses nombreuses apparitions à la TV, il n'est pas surprenant que Christina ait été approchée par de nombreux réalisateurs pour des rôles dans des films qui seront tournés cet été. Néanmoins elle attendra avant de passer plus de temps devant les caméras car elle désire se concentrer sur sa carrière musicale (“J'ai attendu cet instant toute ma vie”).

Aint no other man

Do your thang honey!

I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something about you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside!
Don't know what you did boy but
You had it and I've been hooked ever since.
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friend
I told the others, my lovers, from past and present tense.
Everytime I see you everything starts making sense.

Do your thang honey!

Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style with your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man its true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.

Till you came and changed my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!

Tell your mother, your brother, your sister, and your friend.
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's!

Oooooooo, oh!

Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do

Ain't no other man it's true - all right -

Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test

Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do

You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.

a voice within

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or brothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside loof inside to your soul

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide you way
If you will learn to begin

Yeah...
Life is journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know

You'll make it
You'll make it
Just don't go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like you oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your starts to fall

At last

At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song

At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
I found a dreamthat I could speak to
a dream that Icould call my own
I found a thrillto press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known
well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last
ooo yea
you are mine
you are mine
at last
at last
at last
at last

So let it go and feel the flow
If you've got soul, let the world know

So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
Your Lady Day, and Coltrane
Turn up your 45's, bring back to life
The sound and vibe of yesterday
Open your mind, enjoy the ride,
Live out tonight and grab that Soul Train

Take it back, take it
Back in the day, back in the day
Oh baby

Won't you take me back?
Back in the day, back in the day

Back in the day, back in the day

Ohh yeah

Y'all remember back in the day, you dig
Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald

Yeah
Now "Chain Of Fools" and "Respect"
Was the anthem of a woman, Aretha said
"What's Going On", "Let's Get It On"
Such classic songs, don't forget them
Though times have changed
They still remain my inspiration everyday
So give it up for the ones
Who came before, opened up that door

We're gonna set the mood

Gonna go back to an old school groove

Get yourself on the floor
Don't back away (don't back away)
Come celebrate (gonna celebrate, yeah)

So break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James
