"Sorry I'm not a virgin, sorry I'm not a slut," she sang on an album interlude, refusing to let herself be defined by sexist female archetypes. Co-writing all but two songs, Aguilera blossomed from an uncommonly gifted pop singer into a musically versatile and lyrically candid artist who sang about feminism, sex, and self-worth.

Jessica Nadal, a 32-year-old super fan from the U.K., fell for Aguilera when she bought “What a Girl Wants,” a soulful bop that became the singer’s second big hit.
