    This is without a doubt one of the best albums I have purchased in a long time. I can listen to it straight through and enjoy every song. Christina really comes through as an artist and shows off her amazing talent. All of the songs on this album have a certain issue that we can all relate to (especially us girls). I absolutley love it!!! Way to tell em Christina!!

    Excellent album. I (as a guy) was hesitant to buy the album. And i thought to myself, "well, if the album sucks, i still get a lot of pics of her." But i was wrong. I can't get enough of this cd.

She also provides some smoky, emotional singing on her slower tracks. I give her a lot of credit for taking control of her musical career and deciding to no longer be a puppet of her record company. In this album, we get to see who this wonderful singer really is, and everyone should own a copy of it.… Expand

Why do people still want her to be a teen...let her grow and let her show the world what she's really like and let us embrace her rather than disgrace her!

    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!

    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

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.

    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.

    Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" is a magnificent achievement - an absolutely sublime 20-track, 78-minute opus that showcases the artist's unmatched vocal abilities. It's an astonishingly resonant, strikingly revealing, must-hear record that sets a milestone in Xtina's career. Standout tracks are "Walk Away," "Fighter," "Impossible," "Beautiful," "Cruz," and "Dirrty."

    A gret album that makes you sit down and listen. There is great variety of different genres that reflect the sheer diversity of her voice. The best tracks being the great ballad, Walk Away, the belter Underappreciated, the pure Alicia Keys Impossible, the gospelly Cruz and the delicate The Voice Within. This music should appeal to anyone just try to ignore Dirrty and the new slutty image.

And if you like dirrty, you won't be let down by Get Mine, Get Yours I personnaly love Make Over. Some people might not love this song, but I love it because it mixes dance and arabic sounds and the lyrics show a powerful person who won't let people force her to forsake who she truly is.

Songs that stands out, Beautiful, Fighter, Impossible, Walk Away, Dirty, i can say almost every track is amazing.… Expand

    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.

    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!

    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.

    In my opinion, an excellent album, diverse, ranging from R & B "Dirrty" the Rock "Fighter", with great vocals, great ballads, the album never becomes cloying, and she shows emotion like no other performer.

    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 album was so underrated by the critics. It's honestly one of the greatest pop records of the past decade. I love every single song on it and the interludes are amazing as well! Congratulations on such a stunning album, Christina!

    Such a great album.
    Finally shows the mature side of herself. The album is one of the most defining pop albums of the decade. What I like most about the album, is it's lyrical content. Each track is an anthem for many individuals. "Beautiful" is considered as an anthem for the LGBT community. "Can't Hold Us Down" is considered one of the first anthems of feminism, way before it became    Such a great album.

    While "B2B" is Christina's best album, it is "Stripped" that made her a real artist. It's main plan was to destroy the girl-next-door image that was created while promoting her debute LP. It has definitely worked. It is also more diversified than her all-pop previous albums. There's rock ("Fighter", "Soar"), R&B ("Cruz", "Loving Me 4 Me"), latin ("Infatuation"), soul ("Walk Away",While "B2B" is Christina's best album, it is "Stripped" that made her a real artist.

But the best point on the album is a breathtaking acoustic ballad "I'm OK" speaking of her childhood, which definitely wasn't the best time in her life. The best time in her life has started when she released "Stripped" and became one of the biggest R&B stars nowadays.

    One of the best albums of all time, in my opinion. Beautiful transition from the Britney-wannabe to the vocal powerhouse, ready to bust your head open with vocals. I actually have a 10 (a mark I rarely give) to 7 out of the 16 songs, and 9,5 to additional 3.

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!… Expand

    Esse é o tipo de álbum em que cada faixa tem uma personalidade e função, as escolhas de singles foram fantásticas, ao mesmo tempo que alguém está escutando músicas como Beautiful e se aceitando depois ela escuta Dirrty e toma coragem, Christina tem que voltar logo com músicas como essas

    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.

    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.

    Forget all you know about Christina Aguilera. She's discovered sex, rebellion, rock'n'roll and, at one amazing instant, drum'n'bass.

    With its lack of gimmickry and a surplus of sweet Seventies soul, Stripped is almost an album for grown-ups.
