They continue screaming for the platinum award, but that award was given already a couple of days ago, even the next act (the comedian) started a bit nervous for people's reaction!

so basically they have to give it to only one artist? mess.

Indeed is messy. Even the artist who perform yesterday basically was denied the award to (Fito Paez) he had performed at the festival 5 times already.

And to the people who said I'm a hater just for saying that for me Christina didn't deserve the platinum award for today's performance can take several seats. I love her, but she wasn't even aware of what was happening, she left immediately, everything was so rush, and for this you can't blame only to the festival organization!

The goal tonight was to win the audience approval and she certainly did that like she hasn’t done in years.

20 homosexuals???
To give you an example, VEN CONMIGO was for the people who grew up with her and EVERYBODY there knew it. GIAB was just like singing GENIO with the same melody and everything else. What did you think? People wanted to listen to kimono girl? lmao

Exactly. People grew up with Mi Reflejo and they pay a ticket to see an iconic artist perform the hits, not Vanity.

so she was expected to stay on stage?

The dynamic of this festival is weird, especially for someone like Christina Freaking Aguilera, because it's like a talent show based on the crowd being pleased and clapping and shanting to give the awards, silver, gold and platinum. So, they wanted to give her the biggest one, which is platinum but she left after she was done with her set. I think she was not informed. And I believe they were mad with the presenters or the festival for not having her coming back. The public is not after her.

So the other person who said there is only one platinum and it was already awarded was wrong? She could have gotten one as well?

I'm not sure about that. Someone else said that they had given the platinum award in just two or three occasions. So it must be like a lifetime achievement award or something. Maybe that one is pre arranged and maybe she knew she wasn't getting it and left.

A lot of maybes, I know. But I'm not sure about that.

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!
