MUSIC TRIVIA: SUCCESSFUL MOUSEKETEERS

Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake have one thing in common.  All of them were Mouseketeers.  What is Mouseketeers?  Mouseketeers are the main cast members of The Mickey Mouse Club, an American children’s variety television show (1955-1994) that featured child performers.

Christina Aguilera auditioned for a role on the Club in 1991, but it was only two years later that she was accepted due to the show’s age requirement. In the show, she performed sketch comedy and musical numbers where she was nicknamed “The Diva” by her fellow members that also include actor Ryan Gosling.

At age eight, Britney Spears auditioned in the Mickey Mouse Club but she was rejected by the casting director for being too young. She was only accepted in December 1992. And Justin Timberlake was a cast member for two years in 1993 to 1994.

The Mickey Mouse Club may have ended in 1994 but it was one of the starting points for the successful careers of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.
