Bionic was pretty bad and cooled me on her, and she has MAJOR image problems. I do think she's done some wonderful stuff, though. Stripped and Back to Basics have some startlingly strong songs on them that I think put her in a different league than her contemporaries, frankly. What impresses me the most about her is that some of her work is so personal and heartfelt ... most of these singers with huge voices pretty much DO just wind up singing the phone book, but Christina's really stretched and tried to be an artist. When it works, it works brilliantly.

Of her albums, my favorite is Back to Basics. I know it's uneven, but it has so many highlights.
