I was listening to this yesterday, it's such a gem.
Great lyrics, and the intensity of the vocals as it builds is great. The falsetto at the end is one of Christina's finest moments ever.

This was the final single from her album, "Stripped." It peaked at #33 on the Hot 100, #9 in the UK, #12 at CHR/Pop and #16 on the Adult Contemporary chart. This was an alright ballad. It's a little on the bland side, but she sounds great on it. I just didn't like it as a single. I wanted "Impossible" to be released.

I liked it then, but it is a little bland to me now, but I thought it was a great way to end the epic "Stripped" era

There's already a thread for this  . Anyway, gorgeous song, and Christina's voice is just stunning here. I love how the bridge is so climactic, too. One of her most introspective songs lyrically as well. |

Still one of her very best ballads, imo.

Still one of her very best ballads, imo. I love it too! It's so powerful and beautiful. I was a big fan of the Almighty remix as it was anthemic and maintained the vibe of the original, but with a club-oriented production. |

I like it just fine, but I wasn't a fan of it as a single.

My favorite single she's ever released. It's probably her best vocal ("Hurt" comes second) on record and by FAR the biggest bridge shes ever sang. It's full voice from 3:13 on. Only recently has she reintroduced this to her setlists. It's also my favorite video shes released. Simple black & white and shot in one take.
That being said I preferred "Impossible" as the fifth single. In fact Christina fought tooth and nail to get that song released but RCA simply refused to release her songs to Urban. They tried to recreate another "Beautiful" but it was no where near as big.

Well I much prefer it over "Beautiful". Good song. Pretty sure "Impossible" wouldn't have done any better.

I loved this song, and still do today. me too. It's probably my favourite Xtina single right now. Also, it reminds me of the holidays. |

This was a great closer for the Stripped album as a whole. And she looks stunning in the black and white video.

Lyrically, I can relate to Beautiful so much more especially during freshman year when I needed that, but this was a very lovely ballad.
