    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. Everything hits so well with all different moods and attitudes. The best songs on the album are "Infatuation", "Can't Hold us Down" and "Dirrty." She also provides some smoky, emotional 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."

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

    WOW - Christina at her best!!! Hi all...am from Singapore and I loved the Album when I first bought it and kept playing it over and over again! And there's one song that I am crazily in love with and that is "Get mine, Get yours"...this song is absolutely sexy! Definately a song to be played in the night! :-) Apart from that, she's got the most amazing voice...and she's WOW - Christina at her best!!!

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, Christina...you go girl! :-))) Expand

    this is one of the best pop records in recent memory. Christina sets the bar for all others to come. She blew me away with her diversity. The lyrics , her voice , the music the whole package is great. Not one weak track on this whole cd.

    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 album is MORE than incredible. It is flawless, it is perfect. It is amazing, and anyone who says otherwise has NO taste in music what so ever.

    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.

  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.
