Rating: Summary: absolutely great! Review: I went to Xtina's first UK concert in Birmingham as part of her 'stripped' show, and i luved every part of it! Her amazing vocals and stage presence is great. She sings nearly all the songs of the album stripped and 3 from her first.....her performance of beautiful was definitely stripped down, and it was a great ending to a great show...she has all the audience singing and dancing to all her catchy songs. It's a definite must have for any fan. I can't wait for it to come out in the UK :)
Rating: Summary: Christina Aguilera Is The Best Review: Out of all the DVD's that came out and are comming out, this one for sure im going to get! I've seen previews of this DVD and I couldn't get enough of the previews! Im certain the DVD will be even more greater! Im getting this and I hope you do too! I can't wait untill it comes out! I wish they left the release date at Jan.13! But now Im even more anxious to get it!
Rating: Summary: Fantastic concert, lousy extras Review: The concert portion of this DVD is great. The setlist is perfect; the re-arranged songs from her nearly unlistenable debut album sound wonderful. The beautiful "Cruz" is probably the best song on here. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the camera cuts too fast, even during the more uptempo songs.
The best part of this DVD is the showcasing of Christina's voice. She is obviously singing and does not need to rely on a flashy stage setup (even though it is rather elaborate) or hoards of backup dancers (even though there are backup dancers) to put on a good show. I missed her tour when it came through my area, and this DVD is a pretty good substitute, I think.
The bonus features, however, don't cut it. The interview and fan Q&A are incredibly short and have absolutely no depth- Christina pretty much says the same thing during the between-song chatter. I'll admit, though, that the introduction of her tour musicians/crew is rather interesting.
In short, this is essential for any fan of Christina's. The concert is fantastic in terms of sound and visuals, and even though the extras are lousy, the price of this DVD is low enough not to matter.
Rating: Summary: What a great tour by a great woman! Review: The sexy singer took to touring for a Stripped tour. In the US, due to the bad market taken over by people who are apparently no longer interested in seeing concerts, she had to co-headline with the vocally disabled Justin Timberlake. Overseas, however, the show was her own and she sold out every date (much unlike her tour with Justin) and made much more money.This particular DVD features content from one of her dozens of sold out overseas shows, and is from Europe, the continent she's most popular in. Being the larger-than-life Elvis-like Goddess she is there, it's no wonder they'd use that footage for this particular showing. The pros: The majority of her fans (which reside in Europe) get a closer to home performance. Additionally, all her fans from elsewhere in the world get a song she didn't perform outside Europe ("Cruz") as well as a stage set-up slightly different from the concerts that occured outside Europe. DVD features exclusive behind-the scenes looks at things. Not to mention the AMAZING film and effects of the whole thing. You'll feel like you're there! The cons: Christina's voice is not at its best on here. She's a bit showy. Anyone who saw the WB special that previews much of this DVD's highlight performance knows that she screamed out in several of them in some weird Jamaican voice. She even forgot the words to songs and had to improvise in about 2 performances shown. It would be assumed there's much more, judging the WB only showed like 7 performances of 15. Additional info: I attended the final Los Angeles concert at the Staples Center- the 3rd of 3 dates. Each date, she had special A-list guests coming on stage to perform with her, and those were the only dates to the tour that immediately sold out. At my particular show, Pamela Anderson came out to perform "Lady Marmalade" with her in what was the song's best performance ever- if not the best performance of ANYTHING ever. At other people's show, she had Dave Navarro, among others, collaborate on songs with her. Why couldn't she have the performances with these special guests? They were clearly highlights from her tour. In the performance of "Lady Marmalade" used on this DVD, they carry around an empty couch on the stage. Looks mighty lonely without Pamela Anderson dancing on it. At my particular show, she was vocally perfect. However, I must say the Stripped In London version of "What A Girl Wants" was AMAZING and the best performance of that song EVER. It was so fun and such an amazing celebration showing that Christina can be your giddy, exciting girl next door if she chooses. It totally made you feel like you were there. Additionally, this DVD's version of "Dirrty" is just as amazing as the version I saw in concert. I do wish they would have made the Japanese tour available as well, though. For that tour, she dyed her hair red and wore totally different outfits that SHE MADE HERSELF for half the set, and even did a few different songs and performed things with different choreography and lyrics (to insure that nothing went against Asia's strict concert rules). Would've been interesting to show some of those performances with this. It's also interesting to note that the Stripped tour isn't over yet, and will continue after this DVD is finally releases. She plans on promoting a Stripped In South America tour, which will likely not make DVD. Couldn't they have waited? The South American tour will feature some new outfits and sets, as well as a few of the Spanish versions of Stripped songs performed ("Get Mine Get Yours," "Infatuation") and I'm sure stuff from her upcoming Spanish album set to be released at around that time. You do have to give credit where credit is due: the entire DVD uses an amazing and innovative way of looking at performances. The coloring is altered and makes it look mega cool. The most amazing viewing of a concert you can possibly have on your television. This video definitely deserves all 5 of the stars I'm giving it, and Christina herself deserves them as well. Take that Cher!
Rating: Summary: Stop pushing the release date back! Review: This DVD has had sooo many release dates pushed back that I'm losing count! But I can't wait when it finally comes out! I'm sure every Christina fan would love it! I just hope it doesn't get pushed back again.
Rating: Summary: She realy disapoints me! Review: This DVD is a big disapointment! Her concert in it is horrible she does not know how to perform at all and it get's you feeling stupid watching someone trying to perform when they realy don't know how too! I allready put this for sale on Ebay. Too bad I bought this piece of junk!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant, outstanding talent at work! Review: This dvd is a masterpiece. Im not talking bout the camera angles n stuff (although that's good too) I mean the performance.
Christina has such an amazingly powerful voice, and anyone who doubts that should watch this dvd and they will realise it.
there is no-one else like her in the bussiness and i think with shows like this she will be around for a long time.
*The most impressive vocally is 'At Last' an Etta James cover
*the most moving is 'Beautiful'
*the best to dance to is 'what a girl wants'
*the best girlpower is 'can't hold us down'
*the best anthem is 'fighter'
I however as well as loving all of those loved the smooth vocals on 'get mine, get yours' and the change in 'come on over' 'cruz' is good live(as is the whole dvd) and 'voice within' is just meaningful 4 me.
The dvd is amazing as are the songs on it, so there is no reason for u not to buy it.
Could hav some of her pop videos on it but i wont take marks away for that. 5 stars
Rating: Summary: Christina's best DVD... Review: This DVD is definitely better than her last concert in DVD, "My Reflection", because this concert is more intense, and exciting. She sang the perfect tracks and in a great order. The tracklisting is:
1. Stripped Intro Part 1
2. Dirrty
3. Get Mine, Get Yours
4. The Voice Within
5. Genie In A Bottle
6. Can't Hold Us Down
7. Contigo En La Distancia/Falsas Esperanzas
8. Infatuation
9. Come On Over
10. Cruz
11. Loving Me 4 Me (Interlude)
12. Impossible
13. At Last
14. Lady Marmalade
15. Walk Away
16. Fighter
17. Stripped Intro Part 2
18. What A Girl Wants
19. Beautiful
The special features the DVD includes are good, but not very good. Before I bought the DVD, I thought the "RSPV" section, where the fans ask questions to Christina, would have been better, because they ask some stupid things, like "Were you nervous before the concert?"...Bla, bla, bla, it's like the 100th time someone asks that to Christina...
But the most important part in the DVD is the concert, and it's great, so that's why I gave it 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: The Best of Christina Live Review: This DVD is the best of Christina on and off stage, It gives u a backstage pass, interviews and all the songs off the stripped cd plus remixes of songs like Genie in a bottle, come on over and what a girl wants. She also perform songs in Spanish and "at last" by Etta. I personally recommend this DVD cuz i went to her concert and it rock. Christina has the guts to be herself and The girl can really SING......
Rating: Summary: Christina Aguilera Stripped DVD Review: This DVD will be great because her concert was... I went to see Justin Timberlake but she made the concert. She really shows what vocals actually are. This dvd will be awesome. Buy it!
