yes that dirrty song sucks big time but is the actual album half way decent.

also keep the attacks to that other thread.

I bought Stripped the first day it was released. I give it an 8.5 out of 10. It really is an album full of diverse songs; it's comprised of pop, r&b, rock, and ballads, a mixed bag basically. I highly recommend it. It is much better than her first album.

are there songs on there that she actually wrote?

I haven't heard the album, but I think I heard she's credited for co-writing 18 of the 20 tracks. Who knows what "co-writing" really means though?

Yes, she did write 18 out of the 20. A few are short interludes. Her next single is "Beautiful", which is currently being added to radio station playlists all over teh country. It's a great song.

What does it sound like?

I liked her first album, even tho it was pretty much Nsync/Britney Pop stuff... Genie in a Bottle and What a Girl Wants were catchy songs... BUT I hated the stuff she did after that where she tried to sing like Mariah Carey, hitting every note on the scale with every word she sings... god I hate that style of singing, it's horrible, who ever told Mariah she could sing?? (sorry getting off topic)

anyway, which Christina is this? I liked the Dirty song and the video....... WOW!!!! Is she hot or what??

This is a surprisingly strong album... if you think you like Christina at all and are humming and hawing...just get it already... you'll like it!

Yes, this album is great. Lots of variety, she's grown as an artist. Can't wait until she goes on tour next year, i'll be there!

Too bad that Eminem is looking to land the #1 spot on Billboard next week. I think that Christina deserves the top spot. Her album is supposed to come in at #2 according to early chart monitoring.
