Taylor Cries Her Eyes Out
Christina Aguilera's hills are alive! With the sound of music, that is. The erstwhile singer is rumored to have been chosen to reprise the role made famous by Julie Andrews in the 60's flick The Sound of Music.

"I would definitely look very convincing as a nun, wouldn't you think so?" says Christina Aguilera.
She will play Maria von Trapp, a free-spirited young Austrian woman, studying to become a nun. Due to her often singing and seeming somewhat out of place in the abbey (which Christina insists she can portray rather well, since she claims that she often feels out of place specially if she doesn't know where to go), Mother Abbess sends her to the nearby city of Salzburg to be governess to the seven children of Captain von Trapp.

Although initially hostile toward her, the children come to love Maria through her introducing the joys of music and singing (Christina says she will introduce other joys as well aside from music and singing), and she develops a special relationship with the children, the Captain himself, and herself.
Throughout the film, the Captain grows closer to both his children and Maria through the reintroduction of music, and Maria falls in love with him. Fearful of how returning the Captain's affections might seem in God's eyes, Maria returns to the abbey, but is convinced to return and see what her love might bring. Eventually, the Captain admits his feelings for her, and they marry. However, the Third Reich is taking power, prompting Maria and her new family to leave Austria.

Julie Andrews was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance.

"I know I can give justice to the role of Maria. I sing very well, in fact I have a far more superior singing voice than Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson," says Christina Aguilera.

But it is not her singing prowess that people doubt. It is her acting.

"But I am a good actress as well," says Christina Aguilera. "What people do not realize is that we singers are actors too. We shoot music videos for heaven's sake!"

"And I think people would agree that I act very well in my music videos, especially in the music video for my hit song, Genie in a Bottle," adds Christina.

"I can definitely equal, if not top, Julie's performance in this film. In this remake, Captain Von Trapp will not only fall in love with me, he will also make love with me!"
