Aguilera in 1990
Despite this, Aguilera continued to perform, and she landed a spot in the national television program, “Star Search.” The New Yorker, then eight, made an impression with a memorable rendition of “A Sunday Kind of Love” by Etta James and finished second place in the competition.
“At that age, I always sang songs meant for older people. That fit my personality—I had pain to sing about. If there had been a show like ‘The Voice,’ I would have gone on it. It would have been amazing to be coached by a mentor,” Aguilera reflected on her performance on the show.
