    Christina Aguilera's 4th studio LP "Bionic" tells the tale of a woman who's just here to have fun. Playful, aggressive, sweet, melancholic - "Bionic" encompasses and incites a range of emotion. It's here that we find Christina at her most experimental, particularly with her voice.

    Christina has once again out done herself. She's gone into a field that's completely unlike her previous album's sound, and has reinvented the sound for herself. Every song has its own personality and exemplify Christina's unparalleled diversity and charisma. The album is entertaining for any listener and inspirational for her fans.

There is truly something for everyone on this album. And just like Stripped, when all the smoke has cleared and the critics have ceased, Bionic will be another classic album Christina will be able to add to her discography. Don't listen to the crtics they study "current" music, a task that must be DAUNTING!… 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.

Ladytron did an amazing job on Birds of Pray and Little Dreamer, Sia wrote some of Christina's best ballads, M.I.A. led Christina to different paths of music and Santigold made Christina So the 4 year hiatus of Xtina didn't let me down.

    I think the way she uses her voice differently is just about every track really shows just how versatile and BIONIC her vocal talent is. She goes dark balads to fun pop songs about hating boys. The range on this album is great and it's a plan and simple awesome pop album.

    Christina isn't afraid of trying anything new, and she puts that to the test here. Although there are some missteps, the overall album is a rewarding experience for anyone willing to devour this slowly.

Some say this is dated, desperate, and unoriginal, but if you listen closely you will find some of Christina's best work among this group of songs. Sequencing is a problem on the first listen with the ballads placed erratically, but this fades on repeat listens. The bonus material is just as strong than the standard edition material. Personal favorites include: Stronger Than Ever, You Lost Me, Bionic, Sex for Breakfast, Elastic Love, Birds of Prey, Little Dreamer, and I Am.… Expand

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    Altought this album doesn't reach the great sounds of Stripped, Christina did her best as ever. The up-tempo songs like Not Myself Tonight are really energic. The best song of the album is a ballad, Lift Me Up sang beautifully.

    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.

    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.

    This is an amazing album, one of the best pop albums of the last years. Beautiful songs like You Lost Me, Lift Me Up, I am, All i Need, some other club anthems like Not Myself Tonight and Woohoo. We found probably the best moment of the album on the deluxe edition, with brilliant songs like Monday Morning, Birds of Prey, Little Dreamer and Stronger than Ever.

    álbum muito criticado, porem poucos enxergaram a beleza contida nesse cd ele inspirado, renovador e traz ao pop um lado totalmente diferente, não acho que The Fame da cantora Lady GaGa fique muito em cima de Bionic, embora muito dos críticos descordam!

    This is the probably the most underrated album of 2010, it seems like some people do not have objectivity and based their opinion on its sales not for its content, it is known that the album didn't go gold or platinum like others of Christina but the album is not bad, is great instead.

In my opinion, Christina and Sia's work was perfect, simple and magic, songs like You lost me and I am show the well known Christina's abilty to sing, I guess it was a mistake to release 2 versions of the album because the deluxe edition contains 2 of the best songs of the album that are Monday Morning (a very cool synthpop song that would have been a good single) and Birds of prey (this song fits perfectly with the real futuristic theme she was trying to achieve) unfortunately comparisons with Lady Gaga didn't let this album to sell a little more and Christina to go on tour (the bionic tour would have been amazing)
    What is interesting is that this album was the most second album downloaded illegally, people call it "a flop" but they are too hard on Christina's work.    … Expand

    One of the most underrated pop album of all time.Three words enough the describe whole album: generic,different and sexy. It's the dark side of Christina and her sex mentality.

    Um dos melhores álbuns dessa geração, soa bem futurista, não importa se você escutar ele daqui 30 anos, ele ainda vai soar futurista. A originalidade transborda pelas faixas, a era bionic teve um grande impacto na industria.

    This is one of the best albums in the music industry, yet people underrated it. The songs are diverse n fresh. Most of the lyrics are meaningful. IDK but people now really judge the book by its cover not by its contents.

    It's awesome, I'd say perfect but there's some songs that aren't too good, It's a futuristic album and it doesn't sounds like a 2010's album maybe that's the reason why some people didn't like it. The best song is Birds of prey definitely.

    I really like Christina's Bionic album. It sounds futuristic no matter the year you hear it, and sounds very good, what is a good point too. Christina use good and emotional references in her life to do this album. And as she said when release it, people couldn't understand the mean of the album those days, but now I think people is understanding.

    Christina Aguilera shows to the world her bionic parts, and the result is amazing,an incredible eltropop album that was killed by the critics but loved by the fans. With good lyrics, and nice beats, she shows the future and say:This is the new pop, let's get out of a comfort zone and change.That's why It's so amazing.

    It's so sad that lately critics' opinions depend on the commercial success of an album. This album is just amazing. The ballads are powerful and the upbeat songs can easily brag about their impressive production. I think "Not Myself Tonight" is Xtina's best first single to date.

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