    Álbum muito bom porem injustiçado, christina aguilera entregou tudo e mais um pouco, mudou o rumo do pop. Lenda, incrível é ela CHRISTINA AGUILERA

    Very experimental body of work!
    Not Myself Tonight is a great dance song and You lost one of aguilera's greatest ballads ever.

    The ONLY album that holds the true title of being an occult album. So occult its 2021 vinyl-rerelease was SOLD OUT IN HOURS. In its year of release it got unnecessary slack created by Perez Hilton with his blog together with Lady Gaga, but in its upcoming years it continued to prove that the album is truly ahead of its time.

    The pop girls are lucky Xtina didn't end them with the masterpieces that are Woohoo and Desnudate. Kate Bush herself wishes she had come up with the lyrical intricacies behind Bobblehead.

    Like Aguilera's other work, "Bionic" is an underrated album. The electro-pop sounds are very well structured and the soft songs on the album show Christina Aguilera's great vocal ability.

    Esta es una obra de arte. Es uno de los mejores trabajos de Christina Aguilera, tiene canciones para todos los gustos y todas tienen relación con la temática, sus visuales son extraordinarias al igual que su look en esta era. Mis favs son woohoo, you lost me, birds of prey. (Fue difícil escoger mis favoritas tbh)

    "Bionic" is an intense piece of work. It's a little bit all over the place, but years later, it feels like it was truly misunderstood. Songs like "All I Need", "Lift Me Up" and "You Lost Me" have so much soul, and tracks like "Prima Donna", "WooHoo", "Vanity" or the title track, so much sass! A classic!

    Bionic is xtina's best album along with back to basics. The production of each track is spectacular, highlighting the 'elastic love' and the title track itself.

    É um dos álbuns mais revolucionários da indústria musical, ao começar pela faixa título onde os sintetizadores faz do álbum algo futurístico

    I honestly believe this was her velvet rope moment, the world just wasnt ready for it. Its so current if you listen to it today. I dont think the critics were fair towards this record and they were definitely comparing her to Lady Gaga at the time. i dont think they understood that even Christina Aguilera can have a concept album.

    Album que me faz tornar fã dessa rainha, jamis vou esquecer o dia comprei o cd fisico e assistir Not Myself Tonight na MTV e ouvir na radio e claro toda a sabotagem da Lady Virus, ainda não superei esse flop.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand why critics can't like bionic, Bionic is not a bad album, but as everyone knows and should know, Lady Gaga sabotaged Bionic, I don't understand how she could do that, Bionic is better than Artpop, Her beats at the beginning are bionicos and in the middle of the album we meet the flesh and blood christina, and to finish we find that bionic christina again… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Creo que el álbum tiene un concepto al inicio y durante el va transcurriendo lo va perdiendo, sin embargo durante ese proceso podemos ver a una Christina Aguilera más desnuda; con sentimientos. Al escuchar el álbum por primera vez puede que te confunda pero es algo momentáneo porque vas entendiendo la razón porqie ella se dirige a esta dirección. El álbum es una montaña rusa y al darte la introducción en la primera canción del álbum Bionic (Canción que da título al álbum ) lo deja bien claro, podemos experimentar grandes hits como Bionic, Not Myself Tonight ó Wohooo con Nicki Minaj y a la mitad del álbum hay canciones tan personales como All I Need o Lift Me Up, claro sin dejar atrás el baladon de You Loste Me. Esto es una nueva Christiana Aguilera sin perder su esencia.… Expand

    Bionic is versatile, futuristic, retro, erotic and emotional at the same time..it's Aguilera's masterpiece. So underrated. Ahead of its time. Amazing minimalistic synth production, deep, emotional, fleshy and bold lyrics. A straight pathway to Xtina's heart.

    Bionic has moment of splendour but it’s. Easy to see the album would have benefited from RCA’s fingers being left off it. Christina is best when given the reins.

    A really experimental and great record. It is one of her best works so far. She surely dives deep on the concept she worked with "Bionic", reflecting the idea of a bionic woman: hard working and strong. It is by far more revolutionary and foward thinking than 80% of the albums released t by the mainstream artists.

    As convincing as she attempts to sound, Bionic does nothing to persuade authenticity.

    Because she's bold enough to do it her way, Aguilera maintains her reign.

    Sure, her voice remains full, brash, and loud. But ultimately, so much of what passes for hedonism on Bionic feels synthetic and compulsory.
