and what is Platino Awards, is it like Grammys?

It's like the audience is giving you an award for great entertainment. There are three awards. Silver, Gold, and Platinum. From what I gather is that the Platinum award is very rare and given as a lifetime achievement.

This makes sense then. They're a Chilean band founded in 1963, so the lifetime achievement part seems correct.


They were given the award yesterday.

He was DRENCHED in sweat compared to everyone else at some point. The stream was so high quality you could see him leaking as much as Xtina at Etta's funeral (this is a joke, don't come for me).

Twitter is insane right now. Has she ever trended this high with that many Tweets before? The most recent numbers I see are at 52.6K.

I didn't think her voice was that off? Vocally speaking, against The Hollywood Bowl (which is the best concert she's given in a decade), I'd probably put it at 7/10 compared to that? The show itself though...

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 where 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 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!

My hand was on my laptop and I was so gagged I accidentally paused it in the middle of the LM high note lmaoooooo.

TORE that ANOM opening note. Thank you Queen.

Oh the mixing is BAD on the lipped part. Hopefully not as noticeable in-person.

She had NO idea what was going on lmaooooo. Glad she got both!

Not "Vanity" being the best performance so far lmao.
