| Personal Life |
During 2000, Aguilera was rumored to have dated MTV DJ Carson Daly. The relationship was the subject of much discussion after the release of Eminem's song "The Real Slim Shady", in which Eminem satirically suggests that Aguilera had performed fellatio on both Daly and Fred Durst, the lead singer of Limp Bizkit, and had given the rapper himself a venereal disease. Aguilera called the song's innuendo "disgusting" and "untrue." Aguilera and Eminem reportedly made peace three years later backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards.
She dated Puerto Rican-born dancer Jorge Santos for two years until the relationship ended in September 2001. In the 2006 issue of The Advocate magazine she was quoted as saying "I was involved with someone who had a gay past. I don’t know if he’s come to terms with it yet."
In late 2002, Aguilera began dating music marketing executive Jordan Bratman. Their engagement was announced in February 2005, and they married on November 19, 2005, in the Napa Valley. The couple celebrated their one year anniversary in Dublin, Ireland.
In March 2007, past producer Dallas Austin alleged in a video interview with SOHO Magazine that he Aguilera had sex with him and several of his friends. He also alleged details about Bratman, who Dallas referred to as his old best friend. He also alludes to the idea that Bratman was using her for money during 2002, nicknaming her "Crazy." Several days following the incident Dallas issued an apology stating, "My statement about Christina Aguilera was a reaction to an incident I care not to discuss in any forum - I do owe an apology to Christina." Aguilera's rep responded with, "She's not commenting on such ridiculous statements, and we are consulting a lawyer to explore her options."
Vocal Ability
Aguilera, known for her strong vocals and powerful voice, has rivaled many of her other contemporaries and has been referred to as the 'voice of our generation'. In the MTV special All Eyes on Christina, John Norris said that Aguilera "has a four-octave vocal range." Aguilera has been noted to possess the ability to hit notes in the whistle register. However, she does not use this as much (as opposed to Mariah Carey), and prefers to sing more powerful, mid-range notes. A review in an Entertainment Weekly article mentions her "tackling that dog-whistle high note" at the 3:20 mark in the song "Soar", which was the note "F". It was the F two octaves above the middle one. The song is from the album Stripped.
She is also known to "warble" which is to sing or whistle with trills, quavers, or melodic embellishment. The formal term for this style of singing is melisma.
