Concert Stories #9: Christina Aguilera

Presented by Summerfest and Kiss FM
#9
Christina Aguilera

Age 17

The pop stars keep on rolling with Christina Aguilera at Summerfest 2000.  I remember vaguely being a bit surprised how short her set was, but I know that at that time she only had one album out so it was understandable.  More importantly though, I was impressed with her vocals and how amazing she sounded live.  You can not deny that woman’s talent.  Out of all of the pop starts from the late ’90’s and early ’00’s, she was clearly the best vocalist in my opinion.  My brother, someone who I dragged to many many concerts with me, accompanied me on this show with my friend Andrea.  The month after this concert I would compete in our local Junior Miss (now Distinguished Young Women) competition and use Aguilera's "What A Girl Wants" as my dance soundtrack (and took third place if your wondering).

Andrea and I and my brother in the background, who I promise isn't always so creepy looking!


I can not for the life of me remember who the opener was, but from the looks of it, I'm guessing another boy band.


And then the lady of the hour came out!




The necessary white outfit of the night:

And of course, yes, I still have the confetti from this concert as well!
