    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.

    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!

    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.

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.

    Poor "Bionic", poor, underrated "Bionic". Even though it was critically panned and commercially unsuccessful it's actually quite good album. Christina predicted that electronic music will become more popular in 2010s and that's why she released some dubstep inspired cool songs like M.I.A. written "Elastic Love", sexy "Desnudate", powerful "Prima Donna", crazy "Vanity" and lead single "NotPoor "Bionic", poor, underrated "Bionic".

The second part of the album is ballad oriented and contains of heartfelt productions like "Lift Me Up", "I Am" and "You Lost Me". I also like songs from the deluxe version of the CD ("Monday Morning", "Birds Of Prey", "Stronger Than Ever", "Little Dreamer"). Even if there are some misfires (boring "Sex For Breakfast", lifeless "My Girls" and irritating "Bobblehead") I think that "Bionic" should be more successful worldwide and deserves much more than being synonym of "flop".

    The album is actually very good. If it were by any other artist than Christina Aguilera, then people would be praising it, I think. It doesn't really show off her [amazing] voice's true potential (although ballad You Lost Me gives glimmers). Highlights are Desnudate and Prima Donna. Lowest point is WooHoo featuring Miss Features, AKA Nicki Minaj.

    Not at the level of her previous two albums - but still a great record. Her vocals are not really shown off on "Bionic", and she probably tried to copy Gaga too much, that's why it flopped. I think she's been herself.

    Christina Aguilera goes from retro Baby Jane to futuristic Madame X in her fourth full-length studio album. The album's inspiration resonates from her pregnancy and life and feeling like a full-accomplished superhuman character, much like a Bionic woman.

    The album is filled with different types of electronic songs and eventually transitions into songs of full-emotion and vulnerability. The album ranges from different types of songs and clearly proves that Christina Aguilera can do pretty much anything.

    My favourite songs are Desnudate, Prima Donna, Sex For Breakfast, Lift Me Up, I Am (Stripped), Vanity, Birds of Prey, and Stronger Than Ever. The only song that I don't favor so much would be Elastic Love, as it strikes rather boring to me, but I do like it's electronic elements. All the ballads are wonderful and it's nice to see all this wonderful dance music from Christina.

    I give this album a 10 - don't listen to the mainstream critics, it is a great record. I honestly enjoyed it much more than Back to Basics.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Christina Aguilera is back again telling all the others who has "the voice of the generation", the album is a mix of genres but it's still perfect! The best album of 2010!
    For me the best tracks are: Bionic, WooHoo, Not Myself Tonight, Elastic Love, Prima Donna, Glam, All I Need, I Am, Sex for Breakfast, You Lost Me, I Hate Boys, Stronger than Ever (deluxe) and Little Dreamer (deluxe)!
    I only disliked Bobblehead (deluxe), not that it counts...    … Expand

    Xtina's 4th album is satisfying. "Bionic" is a futuristic song deserves to be the title-track and a standout track together with "Not Myself Tonight" which is compared to Lady Gaga's. For me, Xtina's new music is similar to that of M.I.A. and is very different from a pure pop record which is "The Fame". My favorite track which is "Elastic Love" brings a new sexual sound of her.

    At first I only liked Bionic, Not Myself Tonight, and Woohoo. Then it grew to I Hate Boys, Vanity, and I Am. Then that list grew to Prima Donna, Glam, and I Am Stripped. Then it grew to Desnudate, All I Need, My Girls, and Bobblehead, Some are original Christina, some are the new Xtina. An album that's got good songs, and Aguilera's strong voice outshines herself.

    The album is great ... Vanity is amazing, Woohoo made me wanna dance, the ballads prove she's a voice that matters ... music critics are not paying enough attention this time ... her work is outstanding.

    Xtina's a perfectionist and that's exactly how Bionic sounds. A perfect album, that is solid from beginning to end. A great amount of the tracks are single-worthy. It's quite underrated, people used to say she's oversinging, now I hear she's undersinging. I'd say, don't listen to the negativity and give this album a chance and step into it with a free mind.

    I really enjoyed most of the album. It's fun, it's got nice bump to it and lots of attitude. Christina does her girl-thing well and, I note, has been doing it for many years. It's not the most original group of songs (not that much is these days) but it's all around fun listening. I especially enjoy Woohoo, Vanity, My Girls, Not Myself Tonight, I Hate Boys.

    This album is PERFECT and it deserves a metascore of 100, not only 57!!! The best tracks (though all of them are brilliant) are Bionic, Not myself tonight, Woohoo, Elastic love, Des Nudites (or Desnudate, whatsover), Glam, Lift me up (first time I heard it, I was totally strucked), All I need, I am, You lost me (brilliant!) and I hate boys.

    The fourth outing for Christina is a welcome change. I have always been a fan of Aguilera, but I have loved electronic music even more. This album brings the two together into one nice package. The standout tracks on the album have to be "WooHoo" ft. Nicki Minaj, "Prima Donna", and "You Lost Me". While the album sounds futuristic there are a few draw backs in the album.

    This is a great album. Ok, it has more up-tempo's than ballads, but as Christina said 'Im not gonna sit on a stool singing ballad after ballad' Not even Celine Dion does that... So let the woman have fun, for god's sake. I think it's a very daring album, songs like Bionic, Elastic Love, Monday Morning, My girls, Birds of Prey sound very different from what we This is a great album.

All I Need and I am showcase her voice without going too far. You Lost Me and Lift Me Up are totally Xtina ballads. The fact that she mixed singing and talking-rapping makes it even more fun (Woohoo, Bobblehead, I Hate Boys, Vanity) Glam is very soft and rhytmic until the bridge comes, and we can hear Xtina going up and strong. Desnudate is a great club-banger, sexually charged song (one of the best on the album, IMO). And last but not least, Prima Donna,, Stronger than Ever and Sex for Breakfast which I think are the weakest songs on the album, but that doesn't mean they're awful. I give it a 10.… Expand

    10 for the Deluxe edition! Maybe a 9 for the regular 18-track edition. Elastic Love/Birds of Prey/Glam prove that this isn't your regular attempt at an electronic album by a Pop artist! Other songs to look out for - I am, You Lost Me, Woohoo, Prima Donna, I Hate Boys.

    I had mildly high hopes for this album the more I read details. I was disappointed when I heard "woo-hoo" but now after buying her cd anyway (how can I resist?) I must say that I'm really enjoying it thus far. Her ballads are beautiful as usual, but her other songs are really fun.

I don't really get the Lady Gaga comparison, especially since everyone is turning to dance music lately anyway, but her songs still adhere to similar subject matter that she's always had in her songs and her sound is different than gaga's. Plus either not many people know, or just don't say it but Gaga has at times a similar voice to Xtina's, this is due to the fact that Gaga got vocal lessons from xtina's voice coach and she perhaps wanted to emulate xtina's voice. I love them both and consider both to be my fave pop artists actually, so I want them to have lots of success!!!!!!… Expand

There is truly something for everyone on this album.

    BIONIC is an instant classic. The critics have always hated Christina, but after 10years she's still here. It's sad critics hate on one of the few artist's with a vioce. Britney, Kesha, and Katy Perry get better review so it puts things in perspective. Old critics trying to be "hip" by jumping on the Perez bandwagon; Classy and Professional.

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