Christina brings back 90s hip-hop and r&b, and infuses some soul into today's pop grooves on the Grammy-bound album.
It's been It's been three and a half years since Christina Aguilera's well-received four-times platinum Grammy-winning sophomore album Stripped.

While I was reading most of the reviews and this article, I noticed several points and counterpoints I both agreed and disagreed with.
I do love Christina's voice and always have, despite that I've not always liked all of her earlier music. It never fails to amaze me how such a huge voice can come from such a tiny person (height/weight-wise)! She's like dynamite - small package, big impact!
I did enjoy this album very much, and leaving aside the majority reason being that her vocal presentation was just off the charts, I enjoyed the "throwback" style even if it was a copy and/or misrepresented in advertising and promotion of the album. Anytime an artist *successfully* captures the "soul sound" of an earlier time, it is a true gem. Some styles and sounds are timeless, and in a day and age when many artists shoot for the popular consensus, the hottest beat, or the fastest rap (although I do like rap as well...), it's refreshing to have someone make that genre fit in today's age and bring back some of the heart and soul of times past.
What I really don't get are some of the comments... Mariah and Beyonce have nothing to do with the artist or album. All three are incredible vocalists and deserve greater praise for their accomplishments despite whatever popular media crap is floating around.

One of the comments out there is that Christina can't sing comparing to M. Carey. That's obviously a lie and so bitter and horrible. So people sort yourselves out and open your ears a little bit.
