thread_title:  Song article infoboxes 

message: I noticed, she was born ten days after John Lennon died. Does that count for anything? I'd've put it in the trivia section, and let it be deleted by whoever will now maybe ignore this (go ahead, I've got nothing set over this), but I guess here it is. Do with it whatever you like.

replies: text: Being born a certain number of days before or after something doesn't count as trivia in my opinion.  If she had been born on the same day, it might qualify.  I do, however, think it might be a good idea to add a trivia section.  I wanted to add a note somewhere about Elvis Costello doing a cover of "Beautiful" for House, but since I know nothing else about Christina that would fit in the trivia section, I didn't want to add the section and leave only that one small tidbit in there. - Ugliness Man 12:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weird probably useless bit of trivia 

message: Hey, I haven't heard the song but when it says "In 1998, she sung the High "E" note an octave above middle "C"" I'm pretty sure that should be the third 'E' above middle C, cause saying high E above middle C kind of implies the second see which really isn't all that impressive. I can't verify this now but considering that a normal E is noth worth mentioning and that on the 'Stripped' album she score a high 'F' (the third 'F' above middle C) then I'm gonna go make the change.
:: Its the second E (E5).  The third E is three ledger lines above the staff.  What the Cinderella-esque High E doesn't say (but implies) is that the heads of Disney were looking for a singer who could belt the High E.  Many people can sing a High E, even untrained baritones.  But singing the note in chest voice is another story.  It takes a well-trained and rangy voice to be able to sing that high in chest voice, without flipping into head register and most of all without cracking, since the belting requires forceful vocals.  Disney heads were looking for a young (Disney-aged) female vocalist with a "Whitney" voice.  Most young female vocalist can't belt a note like that.  Also, they didn't want to pay the money for a more established vocalist (ala Deborah Cox or Tamia), so Christina Aguilera got her BIG break.   Antares33712 04:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  WHICH 'E'? 

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the picture at the top of the page correctly illustrates what Christina looks like now, as her hair is much shorter and is pretty much back to it's original color now. Maybe it should be replaced with a more current photo? Just a suggestion. -WikiFiend90 19:57, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Image at the top of the page

message: does not belong in :Category: Seventh octave wonders. The intro on the category reads:
:"This category is for singers who are notable in their gifts in the whistle register. Singers added to this subcategory should be well-known for their abilities and have multiple recordings to demonstrate this."
Aguiler does not fit this criterion. She is not well known for siging in the 7th octave. The anonymous editor who keeps replacing her keeps asserting that she does it in the Christmas song, but a) that is just one song, (not multiple) and fails at the criteria, b) no source are cited for the alleged 7th octave note in the song. You can't listen and assume that it's in the 7th octave. See Wikipedia's official policy,  Wikipedia:No original research. c) Christina Aguiler is not well-known for singing in the 7th octave. In fact, no authoritative source have ever claimed this (as they have done for Mariah Carey et at). I'm of the strong belief that she cannot even sing whistle register; she merely squeals on the correct note. Oran e  (t) (c) (e) 00:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: In response to this edit. Why would she claim to be born in 1980 if she was really born in 1981? If anything, pop stars and other entertainers want to be as young as possible. I'm curios how this user could have accessed her birth certificate (if he or she actually did), since those usually aren't accessible. I checked on ussearch.com, as there is a Christina Marie Aguilera having resided in NY and CA, age 25. --Fallout boy 00:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the source for her German maternal ancestry? I couldn't find a single website that said anything other than Irish. Also, is it true that her mother isn't Canadian? It used to be in the article but isn't anymore... MadJack 02:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: German origin?

message: What's more multi-racial about her, the blonde hair or the blue eyes?.  Come on, this woman is obviously a Caucasian!.  Her father is of Spanish descent, and the last time I checked Spain was still in Europe.  People need to realize that South America is full of European immigrants, and the people who live there are not necessarily members of another race. Aoa8212 10:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:Christina but Britney have a better career.--hottie 19:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Britney doesn't have a career.  That ended three years ago.
Huh? Toxic/Everytime was released in 2004, Greatest hits in 2005 and 2 music vids in 2006 how can it be three years ago--LooseTheHotButtonS 05:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Toxic came out in early 2004.  That truly was the end for her.  Everything else pretty much flopped, including her album, and her tour that year.  Britney fell off every list just two years later.  We all know she's done.  Christina is actually a true artist who lives for her craft and likes to try and experiment with new things.  She takes her career very seriously.  She doesn't clutter up the music world with one album after the next, and she actually writes her own material. 68.46.186.126 08:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

text: After Toxic, Everytime was #1 in UK and reached Top 20 in U,S. Who have more singles, albums, musicvids, who shine in the "Madonna Kiss" , which marriage is more popular, and of course who sold the most who else it's all Britney. Who topped the Yahoo search last year it's Britney again where's Christina???.--LooseTheHotButtonS 11:19, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yahoo? No one uses that.  It's all about Google, and that was Janet Jackson at #1 last year.  Britney is completely over.  Everyone in the industry knows it.  She fell off every list, including this year's FHM's Sexiest 100.  She even got the boot from her record label.  The public had enough.  The UK is not the US.  Christina is bigger than Britney is the UK.  That is a fact.  She's a household name over there.  Christina did not have an album to promote, and knows when to get out of the spotlight before the public has had enough.  Britney didn't know when to stop, and now she's a walking trainwreck.  Her children aren't going to leave, and pop stars and babies don't mix, unless you have a few decades under your belt, proven yourself as an artist and have crossed over decades.  Britney had 15 minutes, and she ended up exactly as we all knew she would.  She's a laughing stock, and all that's left is to rescue those children from her now.  Singing like a fourteen year old, with a stuffed up nose, with stretch marks, a gut, baby after baby, and on your way to 30, is not attractive, and the public will never buy it.  She has no one to blame but herself. And marriage?  Britney's marriage is the most disgusting!  Baby daddy, no job, her supporting his other kids.  Popular?  It's popular beacause it's trash.  One magazine I just saw called them the Beverely Hillbillies, with Britney driving down the street with her kid lumped over the side in the backset, with curlers in her hair, and then she almost dropped the kid this week.  The public just doesn't like her.  Magazines report every so often about what screw up she did next.  That's basically it.  She's no Lindsay, or Paris, or Jessica, or Ashlee.Maddyfan 12:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

text: No one uses Yahoo??? the majority of e-mails are from Yahoo and it's not just search engine like google. Janet Jackson number-one last year??? you're totally wrong it's Britney. Boot from her record??? her album is not coming because she is always pregnant not because Jive fired her. Xtina bigger than Brit in UK??? who have more number-one/top ten hits. How funny what Maddyfan wrote, she's definitely no lindsay, paris, jessica, ashlee or your xtina simply because she sold more albums, sold more singles, the only girl who have number one single in Billboard except for xtina, not an attention seeker like JESSICA!!! oh crap, not in the "Stupid Girls" music video. It's funny how people/media/jealous ppls react to big/popular celebrities (even they don't have a project) in their personal life specially in their family and comparing it to the second rated artists It's just stupid. If the public doesn't like her, she's already like the Dixie Chicks.--LooseTheHotButtonS 14:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Does people really care about the voice??? it's more about the looks and charisma look what happened to American Idol winners Kelly and the 4th winner the only winners that still have a career. Like I said before Xtina is a better singer of course but admit it Britney's career is way higher and better than any other twenty+ female artist. And Xtina managed to get 4 number ones oh good job for her but she could not sell tickets to her tour?. Britney does tend to be in the public eye because the crazy media and paparazzi keep following her it also mean if you have paparazzi following you around/ media keep speculating about ur career/personal life  You're a big star not other artists paying for press just to be in the tabloids and wannabe popular if you know who I'm talking about (not Xtina).--LooseTheHotButtonS 16:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
