    One of the best albums of the decade. Every single song is strictly personal and this album saved her from doing drugs or ending up like Lindsay Lohan. I bet this is Christina's favourite album, aswell!

    Simply one of the best albums you can mix Pop, Soul, R & B, Rock and Gospel in its content. Christina Aguilera in it tries to convey their emotions, feelings and emotions passed through the letters, and close by the way. Finally, the second biggest album of Christina Aguilera - The Voice aka.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although Stripped is all over the place, it delivers the raw emotion and soul that Ms. Aguilera's voice is best suited to. Not only does it showcase her powerful and dynamic voice, but also everything that she's experienced so far. Therefore, I believe that this album is one of the best albums in the decade. Expand

    Christina is awesome in Stripped as she always has been since she was a child. The album is so emotional and she did the thing, believing in who she is and fighting for the truth. That's why this album is a reference in music nowadays.

    This is the best Christina's album. It's full of emotions and personal confessions. Every song has a message and the music is matched to every track. The album learns self-acceptance, how to feel better after something bad and how to open yourself. She could show us that we learn by making mistakes and it's not bad. Her voice is my favorite.
    This is the masterpiece in all music

    This is definitely Christina's best album. I don't get why give a 55 out of 100 to it. This album is very personal and shows every side of a person. Dirrty is a very modern pop track that makes you wanna dance in a hot way. Beautiful is one of the best ballads ever written. In a few words: the "5-octaves fighter" did her best in this album.

However, empowering songs like "Fighter", "Can't Hold Us Down", "Cruz", as well as the all-time-best equality anthem "Beautiful", amazingly touching and moving songs like "Walk Away", "Underappreciated", "Make Over", and "I'm OK" make up for them and turn this album in a real pop masterpiece!

    There's a vast amount of sounds for pop lovers to get on board with. Her voice is astonishing (yes, there's a little over singing) and the song writing is strong. It's by no means perfect and it has started to date, but it'll always remain a defining album of the early 00's. An album you'll happily return to again and again.

    WEll I've only heard some of this CD but Voice Within and Beautiful put oceans of distance between Christina and someone like Britney S. She has an amazing set of pipes but what I really amire in her is the way she gives 120% vocally. I just watched Come on Over Baby for comparison--I haven't been a fan up until now but the she's come light years since then.

    As a more golden oldie boy I typically prefer Elton John, Donna Summers, ABBA or so forth. So for the vast majority you can disrecgard this review. However Christina prior to this was not an artist in my vocabulary. Now Christina is an Empire. Let's be honest pop, rock, western who cares, her music is fresh original and different. Viva la Aguilera!

    this is a vocal masterpiece! no one with such talent in their voice has come out into the music scene in a long time. . . . i would give it a 10 but she might do her next album better so thats why im not! Gotts love her versatility to go from her hip hop beats to her hippy rock and her long preservering ballads. christina has definatly proved herself as an artist and ledged away from this is a vocal masterpiece! no one with such talent in their voice has come out into the music scene in a long time. . . . i would give it a 10 but she might do her next album better so thats why im not!

    This album is da shit 4 these reasons. Aguilera is passionate and earnest in every one of her songs. She also knows how 2 make a song catchy and meaningful 2. Let's Get Dirrty Y'all!

    A really great album! Her vocal range is really something and the way she incorporated many genres of music makes this "supposed" pop album more than the sum of its parts. Dirrty is a great song (and personally I feel a great video) but the album is very much not an extension of it. I am proud of her evolution from her last album and look forward to her work in the future

    This album can really entertain you! It does have every kind of music, pop,soul a little bit of rock etc. She has really grown and matured a lot knowing that the she co-written most of the songs, there's a different depth in it.

    I love this girl! Christina has the most amazing voice in music today, and she shows it off excellently on this album. Ballads chuck full of soul, personal expressions and up-tempo jams like dirrty and get mine /get yours are simply beautifully song. This songstress is back with a vengence leaving her bubble gum pop past behind her.

    I love this CD because she can really sing. Her other songs had excellent singing als ,but she said herself that this CD is her. And in this CD it shows her life. She tells a story of her life. She has a beautiful. And her songs can relate to most of the girls that listen to it. =) (=

    What a pleasant surpise! Did not have the commercial acclaim that I expected it to, so I was hesitant to buy it. Critics like Village Voice surprise me sometimes with their comments. It is WONDERFUL. She can sing anything. Not cutesy for little children but rather clever and well written. She deserves more from her fans who probably didn't give it a second try.

    Was never a christina fan before but this album is amazing and so diverse. She has always had the best voice of the current pop stars but now she is actually using it for something other than bubble gum songs. Powerful, refreshing, this album is great.

    Having already proven she can sing better than Britney, Christina now proves she can have a better album than Britney. This is completely different to anything Ms Spears would do so to the person saying Xtinas copying her maybe you should actually listen to the album.

    Christina has the most beautiful and rangy voice in the music industry. Can people say the same. Christina gets alot of trash about how she looks, but she is not afraid to be herself, she is not gonna stop because people criticize her. She makes music out of meaning. Can Britney say the same. Britney can't sing, so what is the point of her being in the industry. Christina will beat Christina has the most beautiful and rangy voice in the music industry. Can people say the same.

    The best pop album released this century, period. I've played this to death in my car and I still can't get enough of it. A goldmine of well crafted songs and excellent hooks, this album allows Christina to show a new maturity and sensitivity in her singing. She gives 100% to every track and her voice is truly outstanding. This album is all killer and no filler. Roll on 2006 and The best pop album released this century, period.

Mixed or average reviews - based on 14 Critic Reviews

Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 4 out of 14
  2. Negative: 2 out of 14
  1. In attempting to show all of the things she has been doing since we heard her last, Aguilera lessens the impact of the better songs on the record. Instead, in between ten to twelve mediocre/good songs, we have eight to ten songs that would be better served as B-sides.
  2. Forget all you know about Christina Aguilera. She's discovered sex, rebellion, rock'n'roll and, at one amazing instant, drum'n'bass.
  3. With its lack of gimmickry and a surplus of sweet Seventies soul, Stripped is almost an album for grown-ups.
