Her follow-up singles of “What A Girl Wants,” and “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” also topped the charts! Christina had an amazing voice, and a squeaky clean, cute image. She appeared very wholesome and like a beautiful girl next door. Her fame continued to rise and the pop princess won her very first Grammy Award in 2000 for Best New Artist. It seemed like nothing could stop her!
