CHRISTINA AGUILERA - STRIPPED ALBUM REACTION

[@yellowgina23]

OMG one of my fave albums ever!! I've been waiting for this reaction my whole life!!!

[@bennshouts]

😍😍😭😭 I’m glad!!!!

[@kylevaldez77]

This is my pop BIBLE‼️‼️ such an incredible and revolutionary album

[@yannhollister9091]

I listened to this album so much in the early 2000's.. it is really strong and cohesive as a whole and i love how diary-like it feels, it's like she's talking to you directly. Amazing album and great reaction. I think you may really like Back To Basics, Bionic and Liberation albums too since they are more on the experimental side of things.

[@bennshouts]

Yes, that's such a good point actually! It does feel very diary and like she's talking to us!!

[@carlosalarcon5839]

Please Back to Básics ❤ ​@@bennshouts

[@jaylaalle5827]

more of christina’s discography!! can’t wait for you to react to her 3rd album ‘back to basics’ which is my most favorite album from her & the record that made me love xtina ❤️‍🔥

[@bennshouts]

Aww, I’m keen!!!

[@NDMoulder]

I will second this - this album (stripped) is such a rollercoaster for me. Whenever Beautiful plays, I almost always tear up, unfortunately, because it reminds me of when we were watching some award show when I was younger, and the clip played from the music video where the two men are kissing and my dad said “I used to love that song until I saw that, gross.” I think I was maybe 9 or 10, and that’s still stuck with me; just goes to show how important songs like that are!

[@nickeverritt8331]

This album meant so much to me when I was 16. It was all I listened to for a whole year of my life, really. It gave me the confidence I needed to come out… and I loved reliving my first time hearing it through you, dude. Great reaction❤

[@bennshouts]

Omg I love this! And love that it was there for you!!! ❤️

[@johngarson4434]

You need to watch her live performance of Walk Away on The David Letterman Show. It's easily her best live vocal of her career.

[@Sasha_holeby]

Agreed !!

[@xtinaman903]

Please do it !!

[@Lank-l8h]

My favorite album of all time. It accompanied me through the transition from my teenage years to adulthood. Thank you for this reaction!! Greetings from Brazil! 🩷

[@bennshouts]

Aww, thank you!!!

[@jedmartins]

This album saved my life, maybe it sounds cheesy in 2024 but back in the day we didn’t have those type of music very often. In a world where mainstream pop were all bubblegum pop she gave the world this masterpiece.

[@bennshouts]

Not cheesy at all! I love that it was there for you

[@NeilA24-u6w]

Said it back then, and still true today... Dirrty is one of the best pop songs of the 2000's. The baseline alone is just filthy, the accompanying video was perfection. Such a tune.

[@livingportside]

Love this reaction, cant wait for you to check out Back to Basics - that was her vocal peak, insane insane vocals and my personal favourite of hers. Stripped is a solid second though!

[@bennshouts]

Thank you!!!

[@jiihoo8324]

Such a strong album. And really a proper album, not just songs thrown together. A mixture of different genres and themes and still managing to sound cohesive and solid. Cannot listen to this album without crying. Glad you liked it. And like you said, the song writing, production and her voice - it’s just very impressive.

[@bennshouts]

Yes yes yes!

[@cttwii]

Its crazy to me that people recognise songs like Beautiful and Fighter more than Dirrrty - which is to me her career defining song. It was a real turning point

[@shaunhoward6838]

Love Xtina , best voice out of all the pop girls 💯 definitely one of her best albums. 👌 I'd love to see her live one day. Bring on a new album and tour.

[@paulrivas_88]

This album means the world to me. My absolute fav forever!

[@bennshouts]

❤️❤️❤️

[@alonsoescareno5099]

My favorite album and it means a lot to me! When I was a kid, my mom took me to the store to buy it, I locked myself in my room every day and played the album with tears in my eyes ‘cause listening to it was the only time I felt safe. Such and emotional and honest album

[@bennshouts]

Omg 😭😭😭 This is so cute!!!

[@jinx-1]

This album and its songs have been cited by so many artists today as an inspiration. Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Sabrina Carpenter, Becky G, Troye Sivan, Zara Larsson, Sam Smith, Halsey, etc. It's such an important record in pop music.

[@BellJarBoy]

I agree about “Fighter” being one of the best pop songs of all time. I fear it gets slept on in 2024.

[@bennshouts]

YES

[@Christian_alexander30]

Stripped it’s a treasure of pop culture i mean an iconic album by one the greatest artists of all time and one of the best albums in music history

[@DeesertFox416]

This album saved my life. It was the soundtrack to my early teenage years.

[@ImJustinPineda]

The reason why red man is on dirty is because dirrty is actually a remix of one of his songs let’s get dirty. The get mine get yours disrespect😭😭😭😭

[@bennshouts]

OHHH, makes sense! hahaha Im sorry!!

[@Lissa.A]

I loved this reaction so much!!! Please react to her other albums or more live performances ❤❤❤

[@bennshouts]

Thank you!!!

[@robsonalvesperfumaria]

Really happy by this reaction. Please react to all her other albums.

[@bennshouts]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@JCGC1129]

Such a revolutionary album. She was insane for this, I mean, being able to deliver such an incredible piece of work at 20 is truly something else. The lyrics, the production and the vocals are just out this world. Brilliant!

[@bennshouts]

20 years old is insane!!!

[@ImJustinPineda]

Christina’s best albums are Bionic, Back to basics (is even longer than stripped lol) & Stipped. Liberation is close in there too! 👏🏽 her Spanish album is also great. All of her albums are good. I think lotus and debut are her weakest even though they have great tracks in them.

[@bennshouts]

Omg LONGER?!?!!!? hahahah fkkk

[@ImJustinPineda]

@@bennshouts it is kinda a double album? Not exactly split evenly. The cd came in double disc and the album plays as like 2 parts to the story. I remember the album booklet being really different as in the paper felt like it had thickness and gloss over it to make you immerse yourself in the album. It’s very much supposed to be like a throwback album that happened to come out in 2006. It’s honestly for me more enjoyable as a whole than stripped.

[@bennshouts]

Aww love the effort that went into the booklet!!! Keen to hear it!!

[@Nano_IV]

back to basics is my favorite but this one has a special place in my heart for three songs in special, the voice within', i'm okay and infatuation.

[@HelloD-y2t]

For me Christina is the voice of Pop. 💪❤

[@felipemacedo6413]

One of the best albums ever made

[@albertoplacencia3460]

She is a ICON ! Stripped is 🔥

[@DeLara89]

Christina was very much an underdog especially in the early 2000s. She was always criticized for being too outspoken or revealing. Not conforming to the “cookie cutter” image that her label wanted her to present herself to the public. Even with all the immense talent and vocal abilities, her music was at times overshadowed by critics comparing her to other pop acts at the time that weren’t even in her caliber.

[@bennshouts]

Such a shame :(

[@mattmiller7934]

Awesome reaction! Very honest and genuine. I'm a huge Christina fan and I love this album. You should definitely react to more Xtina! She has so many great albums and songs! She's absolutely amazing live as well. ❤

[@bennshouts]

Thank you!! ❤️ Very keen to hear more of her stuff!

[@JDZVideos]

Yassss! Xtina and Stripped are gold!

[@BlueSky-dr5gx]

Christina is one of the best in the music industry! Her vocals are insane. The Strriped album is simply amazing!

[@DarkSoul43517]

Amazing reaction ❤❤

[@bennshouts]

Thank you!!!

[@ricardofabiancastillopicha5653]

❤❤❤ don’t be late for the rest of Xtina’s journey

[@SeekThePaleSeptember]

It’s kinda cool coming across young content creators uploading reaction videos to albums that were the soundtrack back when I was young. The only difference being, that I because I was a fan Of Christina. Knew the climate in music, what motivated her to make this album, and the critical reception/character assassination she received when it was released. Soooo much that sort of just makes these songs stand out even more. Even with what was going on with the P!nk vs Christina and Linda in the middle thing. But wait! Christmas is literally 4 days away. You’re doing a christina deep dive. And she has a Christmas album (though technically not a studio album despite containing some original songs). Missed opportunity? Lol but something tells me Christmas songs are not your thing. 😂😂

[@WaleedBarkasiyeh]

The pop bible ❤

[@carlosonlinetube]

Loved it ❤ More Christina discography

[@lutalice]

I have the same conundrum with Soar! It's the only song I would cut if i had to remove one, but it would be tough coz it's actually a solid track. Problem is it follows Cruz, which is in a similar vein but packs a harder punch, in my opinion. Back in the real world though, in 2002, I burned myself a copy for my car where I was making the album even longer LoL; the Dirrty single had a B-side called I Will Be, which became my personal closer... similar themes of self-empowerment, but it stands out because of its stark arrangement (just piano/vocals, maybe some strings). Pretty sure it's included on the 20th anniversary edition as the final track (bitches stole my idea 😂😂😂) I know you weren't really vibing with "Get mine, get yours" but that's been a favourite of mine since day 1, so smooth, sexy and seductive. It was bold and clever of Xtina to stand firmly in opposition of the "virginal" images that Britney and Jessica Simpson had created for themselves. That definitely helped her establish herself as an adult artist, whereas other pop chickadees were inevitably trapped and stifled by their "kiddie" images.

[@hakis86]

OH they're all bangers, IMO, although some takes a few listens before they get stuck in your brain :) Love this album, literally saved me:)

[@iamricardolins]

Masterpiece ❤

[@marcorafanan718]

its a full album type of listen. no skip.

[@Declan239]

As an optimist this album is my soundtrack 😎

[@bennshouts]

Haha yesss!

[@carlosalarcon5839]

My favorite Xtina's album ❤

[@MarcosMancin-u4h]

Love this albummmm

[@JerrysInmobilaria]

I hope you can react to her spanish album "Mi Reflejo" because here in Latin América and Spain was huge got a massive success.

[@anthonyhudson431]

This album is a masterpiece 🙌🙌

[@rouguy1972]

This is an awesome album

[@tsxtina2919]

The entire album is autobiographical. Partly why it’s called Stripped. A couple things to know. Beautiful was never meant to go to anyone else but to Linda herself. P!nk and Courtney Love both wanted the song. They were playing around in the studio and Linda showed her the song just to show her next time they see each other Xtina ask to record it and Linda doesn’t want to give it up until she agrees to record and Xtina tells her friend she brought with her to “not look at me” and that’s when Linda knew it was her song to sing. Dirrty was an inspiration by Redman’s let’s get dirty. She wanted her version of that so the producer made a pop version and that’s why Redman featured on the song. Also Alicia Keys almost gave Xtina if I ain’t got you before her team convinced her to give her another Impossible

[@yellowgina23]

The music videos during this era are great and maybe it will change your mind with regards to Dirrty and The Voice Within ✨ Dirrty is so scandalous especially in 2002 I can't wait for you to watch 🐥✨

[@bennshouts]

Ohhh, I'm keen!!

[@austinpillay2533]

The talent that is Ms aguilera....your favorites couldn't even...she was 21 at this time...please listen to the rest...thanks for the honesty ❤

[@bennshouts]

Thank you!!

[@FabianKim-z9u]

Shes a legend

[@BeRadMH]

This album is a masterpiece

[@got2bjosh]

No Skips!

[@RuuBjAh1]

If you're going to react to music videos and live performances for this era as well; Though I'd say the performances from this era are stellar (my favorite being either At Last or Genie in a Bottle from the Stripped tour), I think the best performance to react to would be I'm OK live on VH1 Storytellers in 2010. Technically it's in the Bionic era, but it's the first (and to my knowledge , only) time she performed that song and she even spoke about it a little bit beforehand

[@wolves8802]

Loved stripped❤

[@robangel0816]

The correct story, from the mouth of Linda Perry, is that LINDA herself approached Christina personally. There's this whole lie that she was "stolen" or "Influenced". It came from LINDA PERRY'S MOUTH herself, that she approached Christina Aguilera to work with her.

[@bennshouts]

Ohhhhhh!

[@anthonyhudson431]

Dirrty was a HUGE! HIT!!!!! I disagree with that comment..

[@christopherdoyle80]

Omg I used to love Loving Me For Me! ❤

[@Sami-d4e5l]

Best album ever

[@pablocalzadamahave8889]

One of the albums of my life. I was like 16 when this was released so it really helped me with what I was going through. Before watching this I thought you would LOVE "Get Mine, Get Yours" only for it to be the one you like the least, lol. My favorite song but yet again, this album has really no skips, is a masterpiece.

[@juanbishaw4358]

Cant hold us down has a music video.

[@phoebs50]

Back to basics next!

[@jiaweiliu762]

The best pop album ever ❤❤

[@zakkxx1]

Not winning the Grammy for best album was wrong ! Now you know why a 14 years old boy from France became a fan in 2002. Imagine the impact she had on us back then. No SNS no internet the way we have it now but sublime music. What a time to be a teenager ❤

[@Nano_IV]

now that he mentioned it... this album does sound like the velvet rope... but i love janet and christina, i think both are great albums, but i can see some inspiration from the velvet rope.

[@bennshouts]

Yessss!

[@nickt2694]

Back to basic is definitely her best album

[@NDMoulder]

It’s funny you keep mentioning Pink cause they keep having feud rumors lol

[@bennshouts]

I dunno anything about that haha, I mention her cause they worked with the same writer xx

[@brash_and_sassy]

Rumors? P!nk straight up puts her on blast in her episode of Behind the Music. Lol. It was juicy.

[@Pfink]

I've never managed to enjoy Stripped in just one sitting, but I don't mean that in a bad way. All the songs are quality songs, but there are just too many ballads, LONG ballads, and while I'm able to enjoy the songs individually, the album experience can be a bit suffocating.

[@bennshouts]

I agree with this! The songs I didn't vibe as much I've enjoyed just listening to them on their own since this!

[@Cibels-o3k]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@diegodukke8564]

Xtina!!!

[@sonwabiledimbaza4102]

Saying you don't need Redman on a song literally inspired and sampled from him is quite hilarious.

[@bennshouts]

🙈 haha I just meant for the vibeeeee of the entire album haha

[@jordanisweird5831]

We still want the blackout album reaction 🥲

[@brent5728]

Pink was PISSED when Linda worked with Christina.

[@bennshouts]

Oooft!

[@brash_and_sassy]

I grew up with this album. A lot of it still holds up. Even though the songs that aren't that good, her vocal performances are enough to keep you listening. This album has a decent number of filler tracks, but the the thing about filler tracks is that sometimes they make it to the final product because of obligations to songwriters or publishing and also sometimes even the label itself.

[@bennshouts]

A very good point!

[@lutalice]

Hmm... I think you might be confusing "filler" tracks with "songs I don't like as much." Filler generally describes songs that are thrown together to fill out the rest of an album when an artist has a few strong songs, and don't want to "waste" any material on songs that would never become singles. Or, in other cases, where an artist doesn't write their own material, they might only have the budget for a few expensive songs more likely to become hits, and 6 or 7 bargain basement tunes 😂 Btw I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, I just love pop music. And I am happy that the current trend is for artists to try to make solid albums start to finish, and in my opinion, Stripped is definitely one of those; a no-skip for myself and I want to say most others.

[@got2bjosh]

YAASSS Benjin! Das Masterpiece. Debut, MKoChristmas, Stripped, & B2B are Classic Xtina. Bionic is bloated, but not unlistenable. After that, I largely dipped, save for a few choice tracks here & there.

'Stripped' is good, but it feels too long sometimes. Her next album 'Back to Basics' is probably better than 'Stripped' and it's the one that suits her voice the most
