She was signed to RCA Records after making the song "Reflection" for the film Mulan.
Her first album Christina Aguilera (1999) was a success. It earned her a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2000. Aguilera made two other albums then. They were a Latin Pop album Mi Reflejo, and a Christmas album My Kind of Christmas. They both sold well and Mi Reflejo won a Latin Grammy Award.
Aguilera had more control over her second album Stripped, sent to stores in 2002. It had mixed reviews and earned Aguilera a Grammy Award. But her very sexual image at the time was looked down on. Her third album Back to Basics (2006) mixed parts of soul, jazz and blues music. It was given good sales and reviews. It also earned Aguilera two Grammy nominations.
