1991 was a big breakthrough year for both Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

Before either of these girls even hit puberty they were performing. And to think they were only 10 and 11 years old! What were YOU doing at that age?

Christina Aguilera at age 11 singing ‘Black Velvet’.

A little awkward for an 11-year-old to be singing such a “grown-up” song, but even back then Xtina was set on being a sultry singer who could belt out tunes with the best of them.

Britney Spears at about the same time, age 10, singing ‘Love can Build a Bridge’.

Damn, I think she sang better back then..
