Stripped

Better than I expected

Alot of the songs sound the same

Not my thing. But great voice.

Yeh straight 5 for me. Yes, I know Beautiful and Dirrty (or whatever), great pop songs, but the whole album was full of great music. Popped it on before a run, no it didn't inspire me to great speeds, but I didn't want to stick my running playlist on. Gonna go listen to Beautiful again now.

Britney Spears yesterday and Christina Aguiler today. It was impossible to find anything positive to say about Britney until today when I found that having listened to Britney yesterday made Christina sound better! With that as a kickstart, I got through half of the album. I like how she fuses Latin music into other genres. The album is way too long.

Wow! Christina Aguilera & Brittany Spears were both in The Mickey Mouse Club at the same time! I prefer Christina, she's a more talented, soulful vocalist and the songs are less pop-fluff & better-written, though she didn't write them. Still, there are a few stinkers.

Yesterday it was Britney Spears, today its Christina Aguilera. Dammit 1,001 this is not what I signed up for.

In the days when I was forced to still listen to the radio at work, this album, and in particular the singles, were plastered across it. For me at the time, it all just melded into one big current pop music sound that ran through my work hours. Some of it grated at the time, other songs just floated on down the stream. Listening to the whole album today - the for first time and most likely the last - I found it to be inoffensive pop. The songs all have a similar programmed song line underneath, to which Christina then sings over the top. "Make Over" was actually the best of them because she actually had a go at putting on the rock chick voice and getting away from pop for a second. More of that and I could probably have gotten more into the album.

She’s a very skilled singer. The songs do little for me, and this came out about a year before I became aware of top 40 radio, so the nostalgia factor isn’t there. The album is a bit long.

Fighter and Beautiful are good songs, and some what nostalgic of my teenage years, but as for the rest of the album, it's too long and a bit boring. I had to quit about halfway through - I just can't with the weird honking singing and endless vocal runs.

Just such meh pop.

Middle of the road pop-R&B. There’s better about. If she wasn’t a great singer this album wouldn’t be on this list. Great voice though. Sot Fighter Infatuation 2/5

pretty good vocal performance, average production, and cringily simplistic lyrics 5/10

5/10. Gosh, I mean there were some good parts, and it was even pretty good throughout, but my God, man, it's 77 minutes long.

I could see why this would have been huge in the 2000s. Many tracks feel dated but there’s a lot to be said about Aguilera’s vocal chops and she (or her producers) certainly had a good idea of the pop zeitgeist. For me, it’s too long and a bit too aughts. 6/10

Muy buena voz femenina típica actual americana. Alguna canción más reconocible y con más intensidad. Pop elegante y canciones bien construidas. No es mi género

Pop. R&B

Helt alright!!!

Honestly?…….. good album

Det här var nog rätt bra! Lite långt men...

Early 00s Christina Aguilera appeals to my male lizard brain. I remember she had a sweet lil' Disney pop princess type hit sometime in the late 90s, and that was cute, but then when I was about 18 her unapologetically basic slut phase happened. I hated the music then and I think it actually sucks even more now. It's bog "producer written" pop, her voice isn't very good and over an hour of it is a total punish... but the way she so overtly and consciously lowered the bar, then got as nude as MTV would allow, started rubbing herself all over rappers like a cat in heat and pretended it was all in the name of female empowerment? hahaha, fuck yeah. 3/5 you disgustingly hot, morally bankrupt, awesome skank.

A 77 minute long album which is really long, and maybe it is the reason why I felt even more that musically the album is just directionless. The hit songs (Fighter, Beautiful) stand out and Christina's voice is great throughout the whole album. Overall it is an OK album.

Beautiful is beautiful, the rest is not for me. Her voice overdramatic, her lyrics for other target group.

Already listened to the album, it's perfect no skips.

An hour and a quarter of empowering soul and pop ballads with the occasional latin and rock flavour, belted out by Christina Aguilera's increadible voice. There are five monster singles on here, but it's the album tracks which are more interesting and give the album it's character. The lead single, Dirrty, sounds massively out of place both musically and thematically, and should have been left off the album. Despite that, this is still a surpringly mature and enjoyable record. Rating: 3.5/5 Playlist track: Beautiful Date listened: 13/03/23

I remember Dirrty being considered "shocking" at it's time, for being overly sexual. I guess the times have changed... what didn't change is that I didn't care for the music as a kid and I don't care for it now. While I admit the songs show a wider musical variety with Aguilera staying true to her voice - she manages to make every song sound bland, soulless and mass-produced in every style she uses and her voice sounds trained but without personality, regardless of style. The music is never so terrible that it's painful, but I did start skipping parts on the second half. It's simply not interesting in any way and goes on for way too long. I do like the lyrical themes from what I've heard. So kudos on some of the messages. Now, if only the music were interesting...
