Aguilera made a return to The Voice, but has not appeared since season 10 in 2016. In the meantime, she released another album, Lotus, which had ever lower sales than Bionic, and subsequently became Canon Discontinuity. She became a coach on the talent show The Voice in 2011, alternating between seasons to focus on her family and prevent herself from burning out. Things recovered slightly later in the year as the official soundtrack for the musical film Burlesque (which she starred in alongside Cher) was released, which featured mostly Aguilera performances achieved a gold certification in the US.
She returned to the music scene in 2010 with the album Bionic, which was poorly-received and led to speculation that her career was over, largely due to Bionic's sound and visuals drawing comparisons to the then rising Lady Gaga. Soon after, she started embracing a neo- Burlesque persona, by which time she finally found a lyrical constant, only to retire from touring in 2008 to look after her son Max. Known as a little girl with a big voice, she signed to a major label in the late '90s and became first marketed as a bubblegum pop singer before seeking more creative control thereafter musically and adopting a more 'dirrty' image on her sophomore album to continued commercial success. Christina Maria Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) began her career in the spotlight as a former member of The Mickey Mouse Club revival as teenager.
