Stripped Review

Underneath all Christine Aguilera's coy affectations and vocal gymnastics lurks a rare talent. With her second album, Aguilera allows it to flower by abandoning all pretense at courting the teenage market. Stripped is a seemingly effortless move into weightier adult territory. Using her extraordinary voice as a much subtler instrument, Aguilera sings movingly and with grit and anger about the disintegration of a relationship; she's ultimately stronger for the pain. But that's not her whole agenda. Aguilera also extols the power of women on "Can't Hold Us Down," which features Lil' Kim. Other guests include Dave Navarro, Redman, and Alicia Keys. Aguilera cowrote most of the songs on the disc and produced one cut. She also partnered with former 4 Non Blondes leader and Pink collaborator Linda Perry on four songs, which gives Aguilera a rock edge that she has never before displayed. --Jaan Uhelszki

Brilliant. Creative. I love it!

Christina Aguilera's second CD is jampacked with hits: "Fighter," "Dirrty" (with Redman), and the lovely "Beautiful." Christina is an independent woman in COMPLETE control of her career, and she's better than that cow Alanis.

Someone gotcha this tramp out of existence

Christina Aguilera is what we should call P***tina Aquafina. She is a skank. Dirrty with that dumbkuff Redman was awful(I laughed when Redman got killed in Seed of Chucky). Beautiful should be called ugly because that is what this Mexican jumping bean is! AVOID OR GOTCHA sandwich is for you!

This album shows alot of maturity

Christina Aguilera has got soul. She may not look like or dress likes a soul singer, but the girl's got it. At 20 tracks long the record is hard work, but surprisingly there are no weak tracks. Not afraid to embrace diverse musical styles from the hip-hop of the Red Man featuring Dirrty, to the samba beats of "Make Over," "Stripped" clearly is a record that is not just meant for the pre-pubescent market. Tackling various issues from sexism in the music industry to the public humiliation she has received from the likes of a certain Marshall Mathers III, Stripped remains dignified by never becoming pretentious, and knowing at its heart it's just a pop record. Unlike her debut album, Stripped is largely devoid of the vocal gymnastics (i.e. singing 12 notes when one will do); with ballads such as "Loving Me 4 Me" signaling a new found vocal maturity.
Highlights of the album include the Alicia Keys collabo "Impossible" and the sheer funk of opener "Can't Hold Us Down." Featuring guest artists from Lil'Kim to Dave Navarro and the aforementioned Red-Man, make no mistake, this album is all Aguilera, with her taking many co-writing and production credits.
Stripped is simply a great pop record thats not afraid to shake off the innocent girl image that dogs so many of Aguilera's peers. For those reviewers who focus more on the first single and the album cover clearly didn't listen to the album, because they completely missed the point of everything it has to say. This is a polished effort packed with hits and in short the sort of album that Mariah Carey can dream of.
