What a girl wants

From a November 2002 casting call for a Christina Aguilera music video.

Casting: Christina Aguilera music video "Beautiful"

PIX AND RESUMES IMMEDIATELY

HURRY, HURRY, HURRY:

This song is a ballad ... the scenes that accompany Christina's performance footage will all be beautiful vignettes ... All different types of COMPELLING people in many different situations, going from feeling their own personal sadness to realizing that they, and their life, are truly "Beautiful."

Actors will be asked to lip-synch a little bit of the song at their audition ... some actors will also be asked to cry on cue.
