[VIDEO] CHRISTINA AGUILERA Q&A: FROM 'MICKEY' TO 'LOTUS' AND FINDING HER 'VOICE'

Christina Aguilera took attendees for a journey of her blockbuster career at last week's Billboard Film & TV Conference Music Conference. Feeling feisty, the "Beautiful" singer played loose with her language (f-bombs were dropped) while talking about her journey from Star Search runner-up to superstar of music and, now, the small screen on "The Voice."

"Sometimes you just know what you're placed on this earth to do," she told interviewer Bill Werde ( @bwerde), Billboard's Editorial Director, at the W Hotel in Hollywood.

In Part 1 of the lengthy chat, Aguilera talks about her early days on the set of the "Mickey Mouse Club," the challenges and friendships formed during "Burlesque" and she eviscerates tabloid "trash." Keep an eye on this page for Parts 2 and 3, where the "Your Body" star talks "The Voice," her new album "Lotus" and on working with female writers and producers.
