<1. 歌手 & 背景介绍>
Christina Aguilera 1980年12月18日出生于美国纽约。她的父亲是一个军人，母亲是一个长年随着青年交响乐团赴欧洲巡回表演的小提琴与钢琴乐手，所以克莉丝汀虽然年仅十八岁。却已经游历了全世界。
Christina最初曾在高中的才艺表演中脱颖而出，并早在她八岁的时候，就曾在全国性的电视节目中亮相。在十岁时，为匹兹堡铁人队与企鹅队的比赛开场高唱国歌。十二岁时，在佛罗里达的电视节目”新米老鼠俱乐部”中与现今当红的新一代偶像歌手小甜甜Britney Spears, J.C.与超级男孩中的Justin, 与凯莉罗素(Keri Russell)等人一同演出。 经过两年持续地在迪士尼频道的演出，克莉丝汀将她的音乐表演事业更拓展到海外。
1998年，Christina并被邀请演唱迪士尼动画大片《花木兰》的主题曲《Reflection》，并在那一周中，著名的RCA唱片公司便与她签下了一纸合约。Christina也因这首歌获得金球奖(最佳电影原着配乐)的提名殊荣. Christina主唱的每一首抒情情歌都是富有节奏感的，她高亢的音质也足以证明她绝非泛泛之辈，这也是为什么她能成为当代最著名的欧美女歌手之一。
<2. 歌词>
Don't look at me …
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe(1)
Now and then, I get insecure(2)
From all the fame(3), I'm so ashamed(4)
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down(5)
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're
delirious1(6)
So
consumed2(7) in all your
doom3
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone
and the puzzle(8)
undone4
That's the way it is
You are beautiful
no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
No matter what they say
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
The sun won't always shine
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
