“The little girl with the big voice” from Pittsburgh 

In a way, Aguilera’s road to stardom isn’t unusual. Born on Staten Island, NY, and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Aguilera grew up in a turbulent household. Initially, music meant to her nothing but escape. Later, she wanted to be a singer only. Growing up, she would participate in local competitions and talent shows. She was eight when she won her first competition while performing Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me).”

In 1990, she stepped out of her town and went big. Appearing on the hit television show Star Search, Aguilera went all the way to the semi-finals. Eliminated during the semi-final round, Aguilera came back home rejected but not dejected. Soon she was singing the national anthem before the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Penguins games. In 1992, she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Stanley Cup Finals.

In 1993, she joined The Mickey Mouse Club, the hit television series. Two of her co-stars would also go on to become international superstars – Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. Aguilera later recorded the cover version of Whitney Houston’s “Run to You” and sent it to Walt Disney Pictures. They were impressed and Aguilera was signed up for their next production Mulan, in which she sang the theme song “Reflection.” “Reflection” became her debut single.
