Vocal prodigious and queen of reinvention and pop, Christina Aguilera performed “Genie in a Bottle” at the Disney Summer Jam, circa 2000.
We still recall to this day viewing this live and recording it ferociously and passionately on VHS—because when Xtina hits the stage, it’s not just a performance, it’s a pop culture imprint.
The performance was part of a 1-hour TV special, officially entitled “Walt Disney World Summer Jam Concert.” A rare gem from the Y2K vault that still holds up.
Here’s another fun Y2K fact: “Genie in a Bottle” earned Miss Aguilera a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and secured her win in the Best New Artist category. A defining moment for a defining voice.
