"The Voice of the Generation"

Christina Aguilera, known as "The voice of the generation", is one of the 100 greatest singers of all time. with a 13-year career, has become one of the great icons of contemporary music.
daughter of a teacher and an Ecuadorian military. started singing since I was very small and entry to the "Mickey Mouse Club", where she participated with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. after two years the program was canceled.
In 1998, she sang the title song of the movie "Mulan" Disney, "My Reflection" song that opens the door to the world of music.

the following year, as a tribute to her Latin roots, released the album "Mi reflejo" which was recorded entirely in Spanish, including Spanish versions of their first album, and a duet with Luis Fonsi.
but it was not until 2002, when it releases its second album "Strippet" which managed to consolidate and stand out from the shadow of Britney Spears, who is constantly compared.
in this stage changes its image, the black-haired and tanned, Christina dare recorer his darker side and be much more true for public. 
the first single was "Dirrty", very polemic, because she looks sexual a lot, for some people

Another amazing song is "Beautiful" that is one of better song of this decade,  it is about tolerance and acceptance, is undoubtedly the most popular song of Christina Aguilera up today. 
one of the most outstanding songs of the album is "I'm ok" it's about domestic violence she suffered in her childhood with her mother and that reflects in this song. 
after this time, she participated in different duets and in sounds track like "Moulin Rouge", "Pokemon", "shark tale", between others. 

in 2006 published the album "Back to Basic" with sounds that rescued the best of the 60s and 70s. within this disc, the biggest part of the songs are inspired by her marriage, her husband. here shows the world everything is happy at this stage of his life.
within this record one of the songs is detacables "Hurt" where she forgiveness to her father, after the time when violence was lived together as a family.
so too is the song "Oh Mother" expressing her gratitude to his mother, so the family lived before the separation of the parents of Christina.

in late 2008 released her first compilation album, called "Keeps gettin' better. A decade of hits" which included their greatest hits.

for 2010 released his fifth studio album, called "Bionic" which was a commercial failure because it didn't meet the expectations of the label. The explanation given was that the sound of the record was very futuristic and innovative for the time.

in 2012 surprised the audience with his first film "Burlesque" in which she plays "Ali Rose" which is a small town girl with dreams of becoming a big star. In this film she stars with singer Cher.
the criticisms of the film were very good, which again features great vocal performance.

Christina is currently judge of "The Voice", which is in its third season, with Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, from Marron 5 and Blake Shelton, but this will be his last season and will be replaced by Shakira.
Christina leave the tv show because has to do with the release of his latest album "Lotus" launched this month. the first single, "Your Body", which brought her back to the track. sounds currently the second single called "Just a Fool" a duet with Blake Shelton.

Christina since 2002 has been a landmark, is a bit strange, but in some ways it has. since launching his album "Strippet" sounds and lyrics reflected some other experiences and taught me, opened my eyes to a world that, until then, unknown to me.
one of the reasons that I admire is the message that has led to repetarse, accept and love as you are and as reflected in his song "Beautiful".
I think this album is one of the specific best on the music industry and that we must listen before dying.
in fact the name of this blog is to honor it, the title is taken from the song "Fighter" is one of the best songs out there. is grateful to the people who have influenced his life and that have grown stronger in adversity.
beyond that is criticized by his physical condition, which has been changing over time, Christina Aguilera is just that and it has shown in the last period, which has the voice and the talent to stay within the music and continue delighting all his followers.

Mr. Bean!

 Mr. Bean

When I As a child, I watched Mr. Bean’s movies with my father, this actor caused me so much laughter, and my father always imitated.

Who plays this character is the Actor Rowan Atkinson; he is who stars in this incredible series, which after a while would have a large screen space. This character is a little innocent and who is seeking a way out of situations shameful because of his innocence.

Rowan Atkinson as I said earlier is a good actor but also a screenwriter and comedian obviously. He was born on January 6, 1955 Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England. His career was based in comedy with characteristics of just being silent with funny faces.

Naturally, like all people, Atkinson has a story, his father was a farmer and he studied at a private school in Chadwell's, the college of Durham Cathedral. After finishing his studies, Atkinson came to the University of Newcastle, where he could be for 3 years and then at Oxford.

His career began at the Edinburgh Festival 1977. In the year 1978, could gain entry to the BBC, working on the television series of the same television network, called "Not the Nine O'Clock News", by John Lloyd.

Even then this series received an International Award Emi, and a British Academy Award, for the best program enjoyable 1980. His show at the "London's Globe Theter” won the "Society of West End Theaters Awards” by the Representation of the comedy of the year.

In 1983 he wrote with writer Richard Curtis "Black Adder". In 1985 he "Blackadder II" in 1987 Blackadder III and Blackadder The Third "in 1988" Blackadder's Christmas Carol, in 1989 participated in "The Tall Guy" a British comedy, and finished that year with "Ebenezor Blackadder". In this same year, Atkinson manages to invent new character Mr. Bean as a silent comedy.

Comedy which I love, because it is one of the series and movie I saw with my father, his face reminds me of him, grinning to make me laugh. This actor is one of my favorites and always loves the way they act and how humble he is.

Today has not made a new film, however, every time I see a movie of it old, I never stop laughing, as if seeing it for the first ever time. It's all a cartoon character that means that you can laugh innocence.

I let one of my favorite scenes of "Mr. Bean"

John Lennon

John Winston Ono Lennon was a singer, besides composer and activist for peace. He became famous for being a founder member of “The Beatles”, one of the most important bands of rock. Also, he wrote some of the most popular songs in the history of Rock and Roll.

Lennon was born in Liverpool, England, on October 9 of the 1940. His father, Alfred Lennon, was a sailor and his mother, Julia Stanley was a crazy woman. His parent divorced when John had five years old and he ended up living with his aunt Mimi. She taught him, his first chords in the Banjo. He grew up listening to Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly.
John studied at the school of Fine Arts. In 1956, he met a Paul McCartney. He liked him, because both boys felt realized only with a guitar in their hands. Lennon and McCartney formed his first amateur group “The Quarrymen”. After a while, the group evolves in 1960 “The Beatles”.
The Beatles songs were composed by John and Paul, which were characterized by harmonic and melodic findings, what was then called “the Liverpool sound”. Besides, members of group were distinguished by a new style of clothing’s and cheerfully defiant personality. They were manifested as types witty, funny and carefree. John was the man who wielded a rebel with concerns and was the most incisive.
In 1968, Lennon married in Gibraltar with the Japanese Yoko Ono. The financial problems, the died of Brian Epstein member of the group, jealousy between John and Paul, were elements that decreed the dissolution of the Beatles in April 1970. John said “The dream is over”. After that, in the seventies, he became an activist for pacifism. With his wife published a dozen LPS. . His talent as a composer was expressed in songs like "Give Peace a Chance", "Power to the people" or "Some Time in New York City."
In 1975, he finished his fight against the administration of President Nixon, who is determined to expel the U.S. for "undesirable foreigner" .Besides the birth of Sean Ono Lennon, only child of the marriage; John was devoted to family life. For five years, his public appearances were rare and extraordinary. But in 1980 the famous beatleen recorded the album titled Double Fantasy. It proclaimed his undying love for his wife and child with simple and catchy choruses ever.
Days later, on December 8 of the 1980 a fan ,Mark David Chapman, believed that killing to John Lennon would be the most famous person in the world, then shot the singer with a gun five times. As an immediate reaction to his death, Lennon fans took posthumously "Imagine" at number one on the charts. Far be it human numbers had cried so much when playing a song.

 Personal Comment:

I like Lennon, because he was one of the few people whose music had fought for a better world. He had  very liberal ideas and then was very biased. In the 80s the people were still very closed-minded to the  of Lennon is ideas. Only some few people managed to fall on account of his great talent.

He was also a fantastic musician. His lyrics penetrated even the hardest of hearts. Lennon was a very wise man and talented and that is reflected in his legacy. Today, music is very lost, is not the same as twenty years ago. It shows lack that makes us musicians like Kurt Cobain or John Lennon.
