When we first met Christina Aguilera, she was a teenage pop star. Her debut single, “Genie in a Bottle” rocked the hearts of many high school students in the late ’90s.
But since her coming-out party, so to speak, Aguilera has undergone many changes. Today, she’s embraced her Spanish-speaking side as much as ever, releasing Latin hits and earning appearances and accolades from the Grammys and Latin Grammy Awards.

About 450,000 people attended the three day concert, which turned into chaos due to the crowds, heavy rains, and traffic jams. It is nonetheless romantically remembered as a symbol of the liberal spirit of the hippie generation. (Photo by Henry Diltz/Corbis via Getty Images) -
