Lament Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 No matter what you think about Xtina, Stripped is such an iconic and important piece of music and pop culture. The five singles are all so different and strong. Beautiful was such a statement and her evolution from her debut to this was crazy. The maturity and rawness. The definition of an ERA.

NausAllien Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 "Dirrty" and "Fighter" deserved to chart higher in the US, but I'm glad they're still getting certifications 20 years after. Stripped is hands down one of the best pop albums of the 21st century! I'm so proud of my girl for crafting such a beautiful masterpiece that has stood the test of time!!!!
