Christina Aguilera
December 18, 1980
Staten Island, NY
It was the battle of the ex-Mouseketeers: Christina Aguilera versus Britney Spears, both up for the 2000 Grammy for Best New Artist. Spears was the heavy favorite, but with her undeniably powerful voice, Aguilera won the award.
The pint-sized singer pulled away from the rest of her pop princess contemporaries with such hits as "Beautiful" and made eye-catching videos, including the one for "Dirrty," where a chaps- and bikini-clad Aguilera calls on backup dancers to get "just a little naughty." Her pin-up girl looks helped her land campaigns for Versace, M.A.C. and Skechers.
Offstage, Aguilera found love with executive Jordan Bratman, whom she married in 2005 and welcomed son Max in 2008. But in October 2010, the singer filed to end her nearly five-year marriage.
