[mindtrappa]

Stripped 20 with a cover like this?
Yes.

Such a missed opportunity. I'm kind of mad.

Wow, I’m guessing Alicia pitched it to her during the sessions they had that resulted in her recording Impossible?

I think that's what Alicia said. But her A&R said no, so she gave Xtina a new track.

Edit - okay so it wasn't even pitched, just something she was thinking of doing nn:

What an insane sliding doors moment ddd. Alicia wouldn’t be Alicia without If I Ain’t Got You so thankfully it stayed hers.

I would love to hear Christina singing ''If I Ain't Got You'' but yes, Alicia killed it.

Now, you can't make me believe there's not one outtake of ''Stripped''. Even Avril gave us ''Breakaway''.

This is so criminally underrated, honestly one of my faves from the era. Sad to see it not get a re-release of any sort.

AGUILERA physical CD is up for preorder on Amazon for a December release. No idea how legitimate this is.

1. I Will Be (B-Side to Dirrty)
2. Beautiful (Benny Benassi Remix)

are the new digital bonuses.

So, by this point it's safe to assume there really aren't any more La Luz/Aguilera songs coming, right? This really has been one of the messiest album rollouts I've ever witnessed.

I want to believe that maybe we're getting a deluxe edition down the line but who knows.

The difference between how immaculately La Fuerza was handled and the other "EPs" (does La Luz even count as an EP) is astonishing. And it's a shame because like others have said, in terms of content, we probably got more out of this era than her past three eras combined. But the rollout was like... unorganized would be one thing but it really was just flat-out messy.

Stripped really did that.

 

[bonnieetclyde]

No vinyl release for this one then?

Sad we didn’t get “Under Her Spell”, but maybe we’ll get a better reissue for the 25th or the 50th nn.

 

[MC54]

The remix of "Beautiful", Benny's done so much better. Meh.

 

[Staticboombox]

I can but don't want to believe that a album as important as stripped is getting such a piss poor anniversary edition

Do we know why Under Her Spell was allegedly shelved if it was supposed to be the 1st single at some point?

If it was one of the songs produced by Dallas Austin... that's why.
