Download or read book Christina Aguilera Unbreakable written by Chloé Govan and published by Omnibus Press. This book was released on 2013-08-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sensational biography charts Christina Aguilera’s rise to the top in the face of parental issues, panic attacks, self-harm, and professional betrayals big and small. Initially driven by a compulsion to escape from her father, she took refuge in a private world of music, singing along with her favourite tapes. When she and her mother fled to escape the family home, Christina’s ambitions to sing made her the victim of school bullying, but after a breakthrough stint on TV in Disney’s The New Mickey Mouse Club she finally won a record deal. Rejecting bids to mould her into a bubblegum pop act by suppressing her sexuality and changing her Ecuadorian name, she attracted threats, rumours and criticism from those she alienated. Marriage, motherhood and divorce followed, but through it all she fought on and emerged not only a superstar but also a feisty spokesperson for female empowerment.

Download or read book Christina Aguilera A Biography written by Michael Tabb and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK The Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. It was the first Super Bowl held in the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and was also the first Super Bowl without cheerleaders. Former president George W. Bush was in attendance, and the asking price for a celebrated 30-second ad was $3 million. “Super Bowl XLV averaged 111 million viewers to become the most-watched program ever.” A severe winter storm rocked Texas with snow and ice in the days leading up to the big event, and the fate of the 2011 Super Bowl was questionable. Seven people were injured by snow and ice that fell from the stadium roof before the game. One of them, a photographer, had his shoulder broken in four places by falling shards of ice. More than a thousand flights to the region were cancelled. But the monumental Super Bowl XLV, full of firsts and excitement, was soon overshadowed. Headlines the next morning had more to do with the Star-Spangled spectacle than the sport. Standing alone on a stage at the 50-yard line with her famous platinum blonde hair in stark contrast to her all-black knee-length dress and tights, Christina Aguilera stood unabashed as she opened the show with The Star-Spangled Banner. Everything started well; her robust, signature vocals blasted through the stadium. It was her biggest venue ever, and it would go down as her biggest flub. After accidentally singing the line "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming" as "what so proudly we watched at the twilight's last [something],” the camera panned out to show athletes smirking, and stone-faced military personnel stationed at Camp Latherneck in Afghanistan. As the Daily Mail noted, the erroneous lyrics she belted out for a hundred millions viewers matched those printed on Wikipedia at the time. Although the rest of her performance seemed to put things back on track, the media seized on the error. News outlets reported the singer was “devastated” by the debacle before issuing a statement apologizing for the mishap: "I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through." And she apparently wasn’t the only one upset; according to a survey conducted by the Washington Post, two-thirds of people considered the mistake unforgivable. Not all Super Bowl performances have passed without incident. Janet Jackson’s infamous “nip-slip” wardrobe malfunction at the 2006 Super Bowl led the National Football League to push for more family-friendly performances. At Super Bowl XLIII two years earlier, Jennifer Hudson was found to have lip-synced her national anthem performance. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Unlike some singers who struggle for decades to get a break, Aguilera had an early start. But even before she was old enough to become a Disney starlet, she faced her own share of adversity. She was born in Staten Island in 1980. But a few years later, her mother, Shelly Loraine, decided to leave her violent husband, Fausto, and restart their lives in southwestern Pennsylvania. Her mother got a divorce and the family moved in with Aguilera’s grandmother, who lived outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Speaking out about the divorce to E! Magazine, Christina said that her father, a sergeant who was frequently stationed abroad for the US army, was both emotionally and physically abusive to her family and she did not feel safe growing up. Before the divorce, her parents were married for ten years. Aguilera said that her singing career began as a way to get past her painful memories. Singing allowed her to express things she struggled with as a child. “Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world... ...buy the book to continue reading!
Download or read book Gender Branding and the Modern Music Industry written by Kristin J. Lieb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Branding, and The Modern Music Industry combines interview data with music industry professionals with theoretical frameworks from sociology, mass communication, and marketing to explain and explore the gender differences female artists experience. This book provides a rare lens on the rigid packaging process that transforms female artists of various genres into female pop stars. Stars -- and the industry power brokers who make their fortunes -- have learned to prioritize sexual attractiveness over talent as they fight a crowded field for movie deals, magazine covers, and fashion lines, let alone record deals. This focus on the female pop star’s body as her core asset has resigned many women to being "short term brands," positioned to earn as much money as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. This book, which includes interview data from music industry insiders, explores the sociological forces that drive women into these tired representations, and the ramifications on the greater social world. This book is for Sociology of Media and Sociology of Popular Culture courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, music legend Rudy Pérez shares his remarkable journey from a poor refugee kid in Miami to composing the greatest hit songs on the world stage. Named the most successful Latin songwriter in history, Rudy Pérez is the creator behind some of the bestselling records of Beyoncé, Julio Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, and IL Divo. In his one-of-a-kind memoir, Rudy tells about his childhood in Cuba and the heart-gripping visits to his father in prison during the height of the communist revolution. Tracing his family's perilous escape on one of the last Freedom Flights to America, Rudy opens up about the years of poverty and growing up in a crime-ridden neighborhood. These memories contrast with tender moments of dancing to the stereo with his siblings, nodding along to his mother's classical favorites, and swaying to blues melodies with his father. At a young age, Rudy tried his hand at recreating the music he loved, and his talent led him to an unprecedented career with over 300 hit songs. With years of hard work, ceaseless creativity, and a strong faith, Rudy was the first Latin music artist to win Billboard Producer of the Decade. Looking back over his five-time Grammy winning legacy, Rudy shares little-known stories of faith and behind-the-scenes details of working with stars like Fergie, Jaci Velasquez, Michael Bolton, Simon Cowell, and Sam Moore. A must-read for every music lover, The Latin Hit Maker is a genuine rags-to-riches story filled with inspiration, fascinating details, and a powerful reminder of God's grace and transforming creativity.
