Public image

[edit]

Publications have called Aguilera a pop icon, a triple threat entertainer[1][2] Her fan base is named the "Fighters" drawing inspiration from her 2003 single "Fighter".[3] She is one of the most popular musicians on Twitter[4] with approximately 17 million followers,[5] and was one of the most searched artists in the world in 2002, 2004, and 2010 through Google.[6] She was also one of the most popular searches in 2003 by Yahoo! Search.[7]

Aguilera has often been labeled a diva for her stardom and persona.[8] Bustle writer James Tison noted comparisons to Mariah Carey adding that "[Aguilera] has mastered being a diva in the best way possible".[8] Tison also noted Aguilera's sexual personality and "willingness to embrace her own sexuality" as her most important quality.[8] In the early 2000's, Aguilera was involved in a highly publicized feud with American rapper Eminem.[9][10] After the release of "Can't Hold Us Down" by Aguilera in 2002, critics noted its lyrical references to Eminem who had negatively referenced her various times in his raps.[11] In 2018, Aguilera noted on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen that its "really in the past and [...] it was thirsty then and it's thirsty now".[11]

Aguilera is also recognized as a gay icon;[12][3][13] in 2019, she was awarded by the Human Rights Campaign for using her "platform to share a message of hope and inspiration to those who have been marginalized [...] bringing greater visibility to the LGBTQ community".[14] Her 2002 song "Beautiful" has been called an anthem for the LGBT community, with UK LGBT rights charity Stonewall naming it the most empowering song of the decade for lesbian, gay and bisexual people and for having "inspired millions of young people around the world".[15] In 2023, Aguilera was honored for her LGBTQ allyship and for advocating for the queer community at the Stonewall National Monument.[16][17]

Aguilera's style and fashion has attracted significant media attention throughout her career,[18][19] and she has been named a fashion icon.[20][21] Jon Caramanica, journalist from The New York Times, concluded that "Aguilera will be remembered for her glamour and her scandalous take on femme-pop",[22] while Janelle Okwodu from Vogue noted that she "has never been afraid to take a fashion risk [and] has filled her videos with jaw-dropping styles and risqué runway looks".[23] Following her appearance at New York Fashion Week in 2018, Dazed named her one of the most stylish people of the year.[24] Aguilera's influence on fashion has been noted by several publications.[25][26][27][28] Samantha Sutton of InStyle noted Aguilera's influence on the rising fashion trends of 2021.[29] Writing for Vogue in 2022, Christian Allaire said that Aguilera was "ahead of her time" when it came to her provocative image.[30]

Since the beginning of her career, Aguilera has attracted criticism for her revealing clothes,[31] and has been called a sex symbol.[32][33] In an interview with MTV News, Debbie Gibson accused her of "influencing girls out there wearing less and less", considering that "she lives and breathes the sexual image".[34] In response to negative comments, Aguilera stated: "Just because I have a certain image, everyone wants me to be this role model. But nobody is perfect, and nobody can live up to that".[35] VH1, included in the list of the sexiest entertainment artists in 2002 and 2013;[36][37] in publications from FHM and Complex, she received similar honors in 2004 and 2012, respectively.[38][39] In 2003, she was chosen as the sexiest woman of the year by Maxim, stamping the cover of the best-selling issue of the magazine's history,[40] and she was named one of the most beautiful people in the world in 2003 and 2007 by People.[41][42]

Reinventions and personas

[edit]

Aguilera has been called a "Queen of Reinvention" as she is noted for having reinvented her public image numerous times throughout her career.[43][44][45] Stereogum writer Tom Breihan noted that she originally "thought of herself primarily as a [...] young Mariah Carey-type",[46] but was instead marketed as a bubblegum pop teen idol due to the genre's popularity in the late 1990s,[47][48][49] following the success of Britney Spears's debut album ...Baby One More Time.[50][51] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly felt that Aguilera was "a good girl pretending to be bad" when compared to Spears' image.[52] In contrast, Christopher J. Farley of Time considered her a more impressive artist.[53] In the early stages of her career, Aguilera was often considered a rival to Spears.[54]

Aguilera departed from the teen idol image with the release of Stripped in 2002, by dyeing her hair black, getting body piercings, and posing nude for several publications.[55] This was attributed to her provocative and extravagant alter ego named Xtina.[56] Serving as the host of the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards, Aguilera opened the show dressed as a nun, accompanied by a choir singing the lead single from Stripped, "Dirrty", before showing off a more revealing outfit.[57] While analyzing her new visual, Vice and Rolling Stone magazines wrote that her new clothes echoed as if she were participating in the Girls Gone Wild franchise.[58][59] In a review of her persona, author Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic opined that Aguilera reached "maturity with transparent sexuality and pounding sounds of nightclubs".[60] Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Adam White was more positive about her image and recognized that her "embracing of an overtly sexual image in the wake of adolescent stardom was a tried and tested route to adult success".[61]

For the release of Back to Basics in 2006, Aguilera adopted a new persona named Baby Jane, named after Bette Davis's character in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).[62] The image drew inspiration from actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, such as Marilyn Monroe, to go with the album's 1920s–1950s musical direction.[63] In 2008, she adopted a futuristic image, which drew comparisons to the image of then-newcomer, Lady Gaga.[64][65] In 2012, she drew criticism over her weight gain from several publications,[66] and received favorable media attention the following year after a significant weight loss.[67][68] In March 2018, Aguilera appeared on the cover of the spring 2018 issue of Paper, titled "Transformation".[69][70] Photographed by Zoey Grossman, the images featured Aguilera with minimal makeup and no photographic manipulation, debuting her freckles.[71] Her appearance in the pictures received significant media attention and widespread praise.[72][73][74][75] This led to other celebrities who had posed similarly receiving attention.[76] For promotion of her ninth studio album, Aguilera (2022), she began showing off a red-haired look.[77]

Legacy

[edit]

Various music journalists and authors have noted Aguilera's legacy in the entertainment industry[78][79][61] and deemed her as one of the greatest artists in pop music.[80][81] In 2004, she was listed as one of the most influential people in the music market according to The Independent,[82] and was ranked as the eight greatest woman in the phonographic industry by VH1.[83] Early in her career, Aguilera was labeled as a teen idol,[47][84] and has been named as one of the artists who revived teen pop in the late 1990s.[85][86] Time magazine stated that she was a "pioneer [in] a different type of teen stardom", crediting her vocal ability as responsible for the phenomenon.[53] Since then, she has been named as one of the greatest singers in pop music;[87][88] by MTV, she was ranked as one of the best voices in music since the 1980s,[89] while Rolling Stone and Consequence of Sound included her in their lists of greatest singers of all time.[90][91] In 2013, Latina honored her as the best vocalist of Latin origin in history.[92] With the recognition of her vocal ability and influence in the music industry, she has been referred in media with the titles of "Princess of Pop"[93][94] and "Voice of a Generation".[95][96][97]

Aguilera's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, received in 2010

Upon launching her music career in the late 1990s, Aguilera was named as one of the artists who shaped the "Latin explosion",[98][99] having contributed to the Latin pop boom in American music in early of the century.[100] Considered one of the greatest artists of the 2000s,[101][102] she has been classified between the main references of the Millennials;[103] writing for Vice magazine, Wanna Thompson analyzed her impact in the turn of the century, stating that alongside Britney Spears, "Aguilera dominated mainstream pop-related discussions. [Her] perfectly packaged music and looks appealed to tweens and teens who wanted to be like the pretty, chart-topping pop stars plastered everywhere".[104] The commercial success of her first projects as a bubblegum pop singer caused an effect that influenced record labels to invest in new artists who attracted the same youthful appeal, catapulting names like Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore.[105][106]

Critics also highlighted the impact of her work in popular culture; while Stripped (2002) was called "the blueprint for divas making the transition from teen idol to adult pop star",[107] Aguilera is credited for "paving the way for a generation of pop singers".[97][108] Jeff Benjamin from Billboard stated that the album explored a "process of self-identification and declaration still influencing today's mainstream scene", in addition to "how of today's biggest pop stars have followed a similar path, exploring and incorporating these strategies into their careers".[79] In 2007, her self-titled debut album was added to the definitive list from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, being recognized as one of the "history's most influential and popular albums".[109] Since then, Aguilera and her work have influenced various recording artists including Adam Lambert,[110][111] Ariana Grande,[112] Ava Max,[113] Becky G,[114] Britney Spears,[115] Camila Cabello,[116] Charli XCX,[117] Demi Lovato,[118] Doja Cat,[119] Dua Lipa,[120] Grimes,[121] Halsey,[122] Hayley Williams,[123] Iggy Azalea,[124] Karol G,[125] Kelly Clarkson,[90] K. Michelle,[126] Lady Gaga,[127] Lauren Jauregui,[128][129] Meghan Trainor,[130] Nicki Nicole,[131] Olivia Rodrigo,[132] Olly Alexander,[133][134] Rina Sawayama,[135] Rosalía,[136] Sabrina Carpenter,[137] Sam Smith,[138] Selena Gomez,[139] Stacie Orrico,[140] Tate McRae,[141] Tinashe,[142] and Troye Sivan,[143] and athletes such as figure skater Johnny Weir,[144] ice dancers Zachary Donohue and Madison Hubbell,[145] and swimmer Dana Vollmer.[146] In 2010, Whitney Houston, Aguilera's idol herself, cited the singer as an inspiration, admitting in 2010 that: "Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and Beyoncé — they stirred my curiosity about coming back and making a record."[147]

Aguilera has also been praised for emphasizing the importance of feminism in pop music;[148][149] several journalists agree that her use of sexual imagery has helped catalyze public discourse on the topic.[58][150] Lamar Dawson, a columnist from HuffPost, praised her feminist efforts in the music industry and recognized that "while Christina isn't the first pop star to place feminist rhetoric into pop culture, she led the charge at the beginning of the 21st century of influencing the next generation of impressionable teens who were too young for Janet [Jackson] and Madonna's curriculum".[151] Gerrick D. Kennedy from Los Angeles Times shared the same point of view and stated that "for a generation who hit puberty during the great 2000 pop explosion, Aguilera was an essential voice with music that tackled self-empowerment, feminism, sex and domestic violence — subject matter her contemporaries were shying away from".[152] Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, co-founder of The Vagenda, opined that the provocative dance routines in Aguilera's music videos were "empowering",[150] as she has been referred to as the forerunner of the slutdrop dance style.[153][154]

Aguilera's videography impact was also analysed by music critics. While "Dirrty" (2002) has been described as "one of the most controversial videos in pop music history",[155][61] and one of the greatest music videos of all time,[156] Issy Beech from i-D recognized that the audiovisual work "paved a path for videos like "Anaconda" and "Wrecking Ball" [...] paved the way for open sexuality from women in pop".[157] In the video for "Beautiful" (2002), the highlight scene of a gay kiss has been considered one of the most important moments for LGBT culture,[158][159] in addition to start Aguilera's image as a gay icon.[160] Both works was elected as one of the greatest music videos of the 21st century by editors from Billboard,[161] while she was named one of the greatest women of the video era according to VH1.[162] In 2012, her videographic collection and some looks used throughout her career were part of an exhibition by the National Museum of Women in the Arts aimed at illustrating "the essential roles women have played in moving rock and roll and American culture forward".[163][164]

I was inspired by her show and she is a beautiful woman of power ... Thank you @xtina for inspiring me !!! To be honest, I'm not trying to be critical of anybody. What I posted is a projection of the insecurities I deal with all the time as a result of how my parents and the media have treated me ... I know what it feels like ... I struggle with this because of how I feel about myself, not because I hate how anybody looks ... I feel like my family knew I was insecure and people were trying to purposefully feed into this insecurity by not letting me have a choice in the people who were on stage with me. I appreciate you all being understanding with me as I figure out this new life I'm living !!! 📷: @carriedraw". Retrieved September 14, 2022 – via Instagram.
