    Real album of rebirth, albums such as Revival and Bangerz can be considered generic, an album wronged by the criticism, enquantos albums like "Britney", "Femme Fatalle" and even "Circus" did not arrive at the feet of Stripped, Christina shows her true self, dull or makeup as it says in the intro.

    Get Mine, Get Yours and Can not Hold Us Down show how Christina grew up and did not want to be a media image as Britney.    … Expand

    Stripped is the album that would indicate to anyone without the slightest difficulty. It is a rarity. Aguilera gave face to slap the bet itself. Literally, she lifted flight, not give up. Here is a great example of work that was judged more by appearance than by sound.

    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.

    Brilliant coming-of-age album by one of the most gifted vocalists the world has ever known. The negative critical reviews are astonishing.

    Um album incrivel,e muito a frente de sua época.Xtina,aborda temas que ainda são tabus, mas que na epoca não se podia nem falar. Letras incriveis,nessa parte ela nunca nos decepciona, e não nos decepciona em nenhuma parte.

    THE best pop album of all time. It's inspirational, bold, and very mature. Aguilera told us her own truth in every single song. There are feminist hits on Stripped, empowering ballads, and brave, sexual anthems. No wonder why the record is considered to be so influential - it's simply genius.

    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.
