Christina Aguilera

We aren’t surprised that the 32-year-old international superstar made it into TIME’s list. Aguilera, who starred as a mentor on the first three seasons of NBC’s The Voice, has a voice that demands respect from her singing colleagues, and the world. The one and only Celine Dion raved about the Ecuadorian-American songstress in her TIME piece about her. “I was totally blown away. I love the way she sings,” Aguilera said. “Her tone is beautiful, and her voice has got so much power, yet so much sensitivity — and technically, I think, she’s flawless.” Dion went on to describe Aguilera as “one of the most talented artists the world has ever seen and heard.” Sounds about right.

Where Are They Now? 9 Reggaeton Superstar Updates

By Jesus Trivino | 04/18/2013 - 13:32 | 0 Comments

With the release of N.O.R.E.’s album, Student of the Game, this past Tuesday we got a bit nostalgic. We longed for the days when N.O.R.E. waved the Puerto Rican flag with pride and rapped in broken Spanish. Almost a decade ago, N.O.R.E. embraced his Puerto Rican roots and released one of reggaeton’s biggest hits ever—“Oye Mi Canto” in 2004. The fact is reggaeton’s golden era in the States, 2003-2007, produced the genre’s biggest superstars and biggest songs.

N.O.R.E.

Best Song of the Era: “Oye Mi Canto”

Then: The hardcore MC, one half of the Queens rap duo Capone-n-Noreaga, let his boricua pride out on 2004’s “Oye Mi Canto” featuring Daddy Yankee and Nina Sky. A bilingual reggaeton/rap album, N.O.R.E. y la Familia…Ya Tu Sabe in 2006, followed the one-off single. The album received lukewarm reviews and sales…and N.O.R.E. lost interest in the genre. 

Now: Today the Puerto Rican and African American artist goes by P.A.P.I. (Power Always Proves Intelligence) and released his sixth studio album, Student of the Game this week. The album is a return to the gritty production (Pete Rock, Large Professor) and street anthems, which made N.O.R.E. a household name in hip-hop.
