Singer Christina Aguilera wants to try her hand at acting, Yahoo reports. The 26 year old singer started off her career in the spotlight in 1993 when she appeared on the Disney show ‘The New Mickey Mouse Club’, alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Keri Russell. Her major singing break came when she was chosen to record ‘Reflection’ for Disney’s ‘Mulan’, landing a recording contract the same week.

Currently, Christina is on tour with her ‘Back to Basics’ album, an album inspired by her love of soul and jazz. She just played in Shanghai, China, her first time performing in the country. Some were surprised that the Chinese Government let Aguilera perform, as they have been known to not allow some people if they are too “vulgar”, for example, like Jay-Z. Christina’s 2002 album “Stripped” was a lot more risky, but I guess since she is “Back to Basics” she is okay.

At a press conference in China, Aguilera talks to reporters about breaking into the acting world:

“I am looking forward to moving into another form of what I feel is another creative outlet for me and that would be acting…It is something that, when I attempt to do it, I want to do it right so it’s important for me that I do choose the right first role for myself.”

While there are many rumors as to what role she would take, such as the role of burlesque dancer Tempest Storm in a biopic, IMDB has no forth coming projects for her. She is credited as an uncredited voice in the animated flick Shark Tale.

Also, it is said that in 2008 Christina will be receiving her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I’m not going to pass any judgment here. It can be very sketchy when singers try to be actors, and vice versa…remember Crossroads?! However, as an entertainer myself I like to believe I could cross fields, and so I say you never know till you see it. I would love to see Christina kick ass in the film world. She has always impressed me with her killer voice, and the fact that she went against the grain to get rid of her bubble gum image. I think she is very successful at reinventing herself so if anyone, I think she could do it.
