    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.

    i love this album, although i'm not a huge fan of modern pop, this album was great. it's a mature record and a complete turn over from her past efforts. she did a great job with it. someone might say that it's all over the place, but if you watch carefully you'll see that every song is connected with each other and they sure tell an amazing story. she was really stripped down to her core,i love this album, although i'm not a huge fan of modern pop, this album was great. it's a mature record and a complete turn over from her past efforts. she did a great job with it. someone might say that it's all over the place, but if you watch carefully you'll see that every song is connected with each other and they sure tell an amazing story. she was really stripped down to her core, and that deserves respect. "beautiful" is the best song on the album. it's an evergreen, a classic hit, and has a universal message. such a great accomplishment. it's beautifully written, and has a beautiful melody. the name says everything.

    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.

    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.

    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. The only songs that bring down the total mark to 8,78 are the lead single "Dirrty", which is messy and all over the place and lacksOne of the best albums of all time, in my opinion.

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

    The best album that i've ever heard. Christina have such an amazing voice and those lyrics are fantastic! A true artist. The Voice Within, Fighter and Soar are the best songs in this. It also have "Beautiful", one of the most popular songs of the decade. Christina won a Grammy with this album.

    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

    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.

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