Okay for the new grill, quEn!

Leaving Vegas….can’t wait to dive into these videos.

You were in Vegas and didn’t say anything?

All this public support from other stars should really help her as she rebrands herself as a touring act. Christina was always the one showing support to everyone else, so it’s nice to see it is being reciprocated with several heavy hitters on a single night coming to see her. We had Michelle Obama, Bill & Hillary, Demi, Dionne Warwick at different dates/stops for her recent shows, but this is the first time in a long time that’s there’s been several in one night.

She did as confirmed by her manager on IG.

Variety does a concert review.

“Her voice — it’s just like butter,” said a patron of the Hollywood Bowl Friday night, using the familiar “SNL”-derived description of Barbra Streisand’s voice and applying it to the weekend’s headliner, Christina Aguilera. Not to critique the critiques of esteemed season ticket-holders, but this comparison seemed exactly wrong. Aguilera’s voice is not like butter; if anything, it’s like bourbon. Or maybe a nice steak… a petite one, sure. She has her stratospheric registers and isn’t afraid to employ them, but the bigger part of the appeal of her voice is how full-throatedly low into her gut she can go while still staying at top volume. It’s an approach that could easily bowl over a Hollywood Bowl, or any orchestra therein. So, extra kudos to whoever was responsible for the mix at this weekend’s shows. When you put a singer as big as Aguilera in front of the L.A. Philharmonic and Aguilera doesn’t “win,” it’s a mission accomplished.

Of all the concerts we’ve seen at the Bowl over the years that matched a pop singer with either the L.A. Phil or the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and it’s more than a few, this was one of the better ones, as far as letting the singer do something that’s in line with what brought her to the dance but has value-added elements that don’t neglect the fact that she’s actually at a high-society ball. It was partly of a piece with her run of shows in Las Vegas (so rudely interrupted by the pandemic 16 months ago), complete with dancers, and partly a Boston Pops night out that happened to include a cracking funk band, and any splitting of the difference wasn’t too bothersome. Sure, there were some of those awkward moments when it was just Aguilera’s touring band playing for an entire number, where, as always with these things, you imagine the thought bubbles over Phil members’ heads as they wonder if they really put in all that time at Juilliard just so they could sit on their hands while 10 dancers strut their stuff. But it’s a nice compromise that some of Aguilera’s loudest songs — like “Lady Marmalade” — get to be played at their loudest volume, without trying to figure out how to fit an oboe in, while a majority of the setlist really did make space for exquisitely written and actually audible orchestral arrangements.

She’s such an old school performer. She really lives in the moment with each performance much like Whitney did. It’s a rarity these days as many performances are too rehearsed nowadays.

That means they were enjoying the show so much.

At home where she needs to be. Themi has too many issues.

I think that’s Ariana in the hat getting her liiiife

Hold tf up! Christina went off. Yes, that’s Ariana getting her life. She had to put down her phone and enjoy the moment, it was so good. That’s why I can’t fault anyone at the show that’s not recording the entire time. You want to live in the moment and enjoy the show like you did before smartphones.

Omg Saturdays performance of Beautiful truly was everything, must have been incredible for Linda to hear.


4.00 mins yis! Look at that crowd all lit up. Y'all better be on your feet! Standing ovation for the Queen

Lmao @4.30 tho respectful awed applause and just one gay guy like " WE LUV U CHRISTINAAAAA"

I have seen her perform “Beautiful” a million times now, but this performance hits different. I even cried. It took me back to being 12 hearing this song for the first time as I was trying to learn to love myself as I knew I may be different but didn’t really know I was gay then.

She was hitting all the notes. Now I know what she means how live she feeds off the crowd’s energy as opposed to being in the studio and singing for yourself and the producer only.

She snapped on GIAB tonight now that I can hear her.

I thought there were going to be more GIAB moments with the songs reimagined and one new cover or a song she never performed live before like she performed “I’m OK” live for the first time during VH1’s Storytellers. This was the Liberation Tour mixed with the Stripped Tour. She looked and sounded great tho. I watched Mary J. Blige’s Hollywood Bowl from 2019 and it looked like her regular show tho. She needs to continue to get herself out there tho, so she can be a touring act again. This was a great opportunity for her. She looked like Billie Holiday, just gorgeous.

I would’ve loved to hear Candyman, Reflection, Hurt and Bound to You with an orchestra.

Aguilera.Online is choosing violence tonight clapping back at everyone in the comments like Cardi B.

Say Something really showcases her magical tone.

Christina really has one of the best musical foundations.

GIAB sounds EPIC!

She looks stunning.

1,000 posts before she starts her performance!

Hope she performs the George Clinton approved Sick of Sittin’.

It’s a performance song and is perfect for any live performance.

That poster is top notch.

I’ll be attending the Vegas one next weekend - I don’t want to go to this show so I didn’t look for tickets. Nice try though, SKIN

Perfect timing! Summers here are known for roach infestations so you’ll fit right in!

Annual roach infestations? Did y'all disclose this information to the good sis @NewAgenda before she relocated there?

I am too clean to have roaches. I should be fine being in a mid-rise tho.

Her official website actually sent a pre-sale code via email.

I sure am sis. Madam @NewAgenda can attest to that since we already hung out few weekends ago

Yes, Schitt’$ @Creek is a good time as long as she’s not talking about GaGa.

It’s yalls fault for not letting me play Born this Gay in the car

You can be Born A Gay in the comfort of your own home just don’t bring that shit out in public. I was embarrassed lol. You better be glad I like you because I wouldn’t be tolerating the GaGa stanning with anyone else.
