3 Grammys does mean Grammy Award Winner. One, two five or more means the alame thing.

message: There have been now for some time a series of edits by annonymous IP addresses registered to Deutsche Telekom in Germany(). Here are the contribs for a few of these IPs: , but there are others.  This person has been making a number of problematic edits, always without comments.  One problem is the repeated atempts to apply the lable singer-songwriter or songwriter to Ms. Aguilera in the lead and infobox in this article.  First, singer-songwriter is not appropriate here, read that article if you have problems understanding the term.  Second, seeing as the present article does not discuss songwriting, and Aguilera's co-writing of a few songs is scarcely notable.  I would argue that songwriter should also be removed from the lead and infobox as well. -MrFizyx 22:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Christina Aguilera wrote all the songs on her latest album which means that songwriter is appropriate especially since she - of course - takes first credit as well. It seems more likely that the article needs to be updated. KittenKlub 22:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was not aware of that.  Then the current edit may not be as bad as I thought.  If you are correct maybe there is some source that describes her transition to being a songwriter. -MrFizyx 22:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I've been looking aroung the net a bit.  I can't find a source that discusses her songwriting.  Has anyone else found anything?  I agree that her recent album credits make it reasonable to state that she does get involved with songwriting, but to call her a songwriter in the first sentence is misleading.  She didn't write her biggest hits and we should not diminish the credit that goes to those writers that did (people like Steve Kipner, Linda Perry, Bob Crewe, Diane Warren, etc.) .  Perhaps we can agree on a more appropriate statement to place further down in the lead? -MrFizyx 19:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

text: All that you are saying is interesting, and may be material for the article, but where are the sources for this?  The main problem right now is that we dub her a songwriter in the first sentance and then never discuss it in the rest of the article.  I also suspect we would be hard pressed to find one professional music journalist refering to Aguilera as a "singer-songwriter" she simply is not as notable for her writing as she is for other things and singer-songwriters do not in general employ a whole team of pros to co-write.  I'm not saying her writing is not notable enough for the article, I'm just suggesting that it be discussed in more depth later in the article. -MrFizyx 16:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Would it be a good idea if we copied the pictures from the Ain't No Other Man and Beautiful articles and put them in this article? There are two good pictures of her in both of the songs' music videos. loulou 17:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The MTV 2 Large New Years Special was for 2000.  The millennium didn't start until 2001.  We should remove mistakes like that from articles that have been sourced. Esque0 22:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  First artist of millennium 

message: I would just like to make it perfectly clear to all users that Christina Aguilera cannot sing in the seventh octave. Her highest note recorded is F6, NOT C7 as believed by the few. Her lowest note is C3 which will cpmply with the information classifying her with a 4 octave vocal range. C3-F6 is her range. She can hit notes in the whistle register, however she is yet to exibit any control over or skill with these notes, and she is yet to exibit the ability to use these notes for extended periods of time. In order to become an accomplished whistle register user, one must be able to use the notes for at least 6 seconds, such as Mariah CArey, Minnie Ripperton, Adam Lopez, and Jill Scott.

message: Based on this edit history of anonymous users making apparently random changes to sales figures with no edit summary or citation, it might be a good idea for someone to review the figures again.  If we can add an easily-checked citation beside each figure, it might discourage random edits -- or at least make it easier to detect and fix them. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 21:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sales figures 

message: Once again, this section has unreferenced sales stats, and the keep constantly changing. Before I challenge this article's GA standing, I would like to see a consistant source for Christina's album sales.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I was on youtube and was watching her interview on 20/20 and it says in the very first minute that her debut album has sold over 12 million copies, so we should just leave it at 12.5... here is the link to watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnFccN4wFAI&NR 
However i cant find anything on stripped sales that is factual - B.A
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rockonthenet.com, a very reliable source, has Stripped listed as 3X Platinum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah i go to rockonthenet.com alot but it's not 3x platinum it is 4x platinum...and I'm talking about worldwide sales not just the U.S - B.A
---------------------------------------------------------------------
you can't go platinum worldwide, it's a **national* certification*

thread_title:  Albums section is disputed 

message: during the "debut era" Christina mentioned several times that when she performed for her family as a child she often would use her mothers hairbrush as her so called "ikaphone.." should that be included? I know atleast of one appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell Show that she mentioned this..--Geokaii 09:46, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
