Christina Aguilera's parents divorced when Christina Aguilera was young and she lived with her mother, although they moved around quite a bit. Christina's goal almost since birth was to be a singer, and at age 12 she was invited to audition for "MMC" (1989). Christina Aguilera wound up getting the part and stayed there for a few years, until the show ended. In 1999 Christina Aguilera had her breakthrough hit, "Genie in a Bottle". Since then Christina Aguilera has made millions of fans, sold millions of records and has won many awards, including a Grammy for best new female artist. Christina Aguilera has even made a Latin album and will be working on a second one. A Christmas album has also been released.
