    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 how Christina finally got to use all of her vocal talents in this album. There is no other artist out there that could match her...atleast not for now :)

    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. Britneys success is down to the fact that she was in the right place at the right time.

    This is a grat cd and offers much encouragment for people who have experienced some of the things christina has. It shows that she is normal and that shitty things happen to her too.

    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.

    It is the best of christina! She is a great artist and a wonderful natural singer. She came out with the "real" her and it's better than anything she has ever done. she is like an idol to me. And "Stripped" is the best cd i have ever had!

    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."

Unlike anything heard or to be heard in 2002, "Stripped" is undeniably the best album of the year.… Expand

    I just got this album today, and am listening to it for the second time in a row. It's an AWESOME album, a must-buy. Her single "Dirrty" is very different from all the other songs on the album, most of them are ballades. She really shows off her voice in a good way and it's very personal.

    my god, can u believe it? A Tool/A Perfect Circle fan listening to Christina Aguilara??? yes it's true nice voice, nice attitude, nice album despite horrible taste in idol (comparing herself with lame ass Ricky Martin and Modanna is just sad.)

    Aguilera's voice is beautiful on this record, but the music is still poor. "Beautiful" is the best song on the record, it's just like its title, simply beautiful. But "Dirrty" and "Get mine, get yours" are pure shit. I RECOMEND THIS ALBUM ONLY TO CHRISTINA'S FANS.

    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.
