 Christina Aguilera: Stripped | Type: Internet Article |
| | Christina Aguilera: Stripped | Oct 25, 2003 | by Betty Clarke
 Tired of her cheap image, Christina Aguilera is aiming for class. Like a Miss World contestant with big dreams and a shameful past, she wants to wear her push-up bra and burn it: her album's titillating title plays up to the image, but its 20 songs strive to break it down. Loving Me For Me is gushingly romantic, Can't Hold Us Down rewrites feminism to a hip-hop beat, and I'm Okay is a brutally honest account of parental warfare.
Empowering ballads nestle next to predictable rock guitars, and Aguilera even borrows from the Sugababes' Overload on the shriekfest Makeover, desperate to please everyone. When she's bad - making sex her motivating force, not self-belief - she's better. Dirrty and Get Mine, Get Yours, with its "make love, but not fall in love" retort, are majestically filthy. But well before Aguilera decides that not being a virgin doesn't make her a whore, Stripped starts feeling overlong, oversentimental and sadly overdressed.
