"In seconds, the legendary Christina Aguilera put the monster of Viña in her pocket"

Brazilian fans are demanding her to do ROCK IN RIO!

Latino twitter is stanning hard!

I have a feeling there will be high demand for her to tour Latin America (even more than before).

WAGW and ANOM were the highlights for me. She definitely loosened up after the first couple of songs. I know half this board hates "Vanity," but I think it was the first performance were she really loosened up and started to have fun. While the idea of "Dirrty" being the opening number seems like a no-brainer, I think nerves got the best of her tonight for that one. It's time scrap CHUD - it does not work and is a vibe killer. She was a tad flat on the high notes for FE/PMADT, but didn't really noticeably crack on anything major - so I consider this a win for her, especially considering the reception she got. LM & GIAB were quite solid as well.

Could have done without "Bionic" and the entire "Burlesque" segment. The most recent Spanish songs were probably the weakest portion overall (aside from FTM/LTBL which I can't even rate), which is a shame. I know it's not her first language, but she needs to be putting the same gusto and effort into those songs that she does "Ain't No Other Man" and "Fighter." Take the time to sit down and learn the lyrics, learn what they mean so you can have an connection and go for it. It's been said many times in this thread, but the fact that they missed AT LEAST two of her well known songs ("Ven Conmigo" and "Contigo") is a travesty. Even re-learning a verse and chorus for "Genio" would have be lovely.

I will echo most of the statements here though... It is time to find a new team to lead the music direction and choreography. I think switching to Roc Nation was certainly a business decision for opportunities -- which they have been killing, but getting rid of people that you've actually been friends friends with for two decades is easier said than done.

At least the reception in general has been great. Hopefully we'll be getting some great stats come the morning with album sale increases!

Lament wrote: Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:17 pm It wasn't a bad show but I feel like she did nothing -expect adding FE and PMADT- special for it:
- the Bad Bunny segment is so weird. Just throw one of your Spanish songs there.
- don't make your back singers sing an entire song without you appearing on stage for 4 whole minutes (Show Me How You Burlesque)
- add Sueltamé, Ven Conmigo and La Reina
- end the show with Fighter not LTBL
- learn how to say THREE words in Spanish

I swear, I thought it was okay until she finished with LTBL. She sang ONE LINE from it.

Anyway, I know the GP will love it and that's all that matters but it wasn't hard to do these small changes and make it more relevant to the place where she's singing…

So it was a mess?

She's mad and confused.
