i think ppl feel stripped is her best album bc it was the real, authentic christina, classic hits, and was a 180 of the girl we 1st met and we found out was not totally the real version of christina. but over all, stripped, looking back on it, was all over the place, sound wise. a lot of songs that were different sounds and themes and genres, but none the less deep and over all fun and powerful. back to basics was her strongest as far as an over all image and packaging album. i feel it could have done better if more singles were released. i feel she jsut let it end too soon in the states. understand, slow down baby and remixed it with g unit to get on urban station,. bionic was fun but was not focused enough. and it had life on it, if pushed the right way, but it wasn't . it was left to die after 2 singles. she gave up, got divorced, worked on pushing the movie etc. i mean lets say bionic was a success, what would she done when the movie came out? glam coulda been released, lift me up coulda been a winter single, and sung over beautiful and fighter and became her signature up lifting song instead of figter or beautiful. woohoo with video treatment, and monday morning was loved by many. bionic have a deluxed messed it up bc ppl only looked at the regular album but not reviewed the added 5 songs. she gave up n moved on. lets hope she doesnt do the same with lotus.
Stripped
Back 2 Basics (VERY CLOSE TIE)
Bionic
Lotus (only bc its new and still growing)
CA only bc this isnt the real her but it would go after B2B if she wasnt so ashamed of it.
Stripped, B2B, CA, Lotus, Bionic over all i think. but is it just me or is she judged harsh on her music than others?
