Celebrity

A celebrity is someone that is recognized at the public level by a specific talent. The celebrity captures the attention of much of society and the media. Today, among the most prominent and easily recognized celebrities by the whole world are the actors and actresses, musicians and athletes. In another era the writers, politicians, scientists, and painters were considered as the most important celebrities, and also today still remain very important. I don't have a favorite celebrity, because I appreciate the talent or the ability of many celebrities not only of one in specific, but I decided to choose a singer, because this singer for me has a beautiful voice and sings the songs with a lot of feeling.

Christina Maria Aguilera is an American singer, songwriter and actress,was born in Staten Island, New York on December 18, 1980, and was raised in Rochester and Wexford Pennsylvania. Her father Fausto Xavier Aguilera was a United States Army soldier and her mother a musician called Shelly Loraine. Aguilera’s family moved frequently because of her father's military service, and lived in places including New Jersey, Texas, New York, and Japan. Christina was physically and emotionally abused by her father, she and her mother alleged that he abused of them. Aguilera used music as a form of escape from her dysfunctional household. Growing up, she aspired to be a singer, was known as “the little girl with the big voice", singing in local talent shows and competitions. At the age of eight, she won her first talent show, in which she performed Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)". She won the nickname of “the voice of her generation". At People's Choice Awards she was honored as the “voice of the people". Also in 2013, the Time magazine included her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.She is recognized as the singer that changed the style of teen pop music and turned it in a more mature pop. I can’t talk about all the Christina’s success because are many, but approximately she has 176 awards won and 225 nominations.

I chose her because she has a big voice. I like very much her songs but the thing that I most like is the feeling with which she sings. She sang with a force that is incredible, she lives her songs when she sings. According to some musicians’ experts, her voice is soprano type, capable of reaching the higher registers on the human scale. I admire her because even though she grew up in a dysfunctional family, she accomplished her dream of being a singer, and is one of the best in the world. As celebrity has been criticized, but for me her talent is much big than her defects. Another thing that I like about Christina is that she is a bilingual singer, she sings in English and Spanish. My favorite song of Christina is called “Hurt”. It’s my favorite song, although having a very sad lyric, because is a song written and sung with a lot of feeling and describes exactly how one deals with the loss of a loved one. Another song that I like very much is called “Beautiful”. This song gives us a great message: “That we are all beautiful, without matter what others say”, in other words, we have to learn to accept ourselves as we are, and forget the criticism of society. To conclude, I consider her as a celebrity because her music came to the heart of many people and also she is an example to all the people that grown in a dysfunctional family, because like her they also can accomplish her dreams.
