Of course we know it wpund up being the exact opposite. And as you have seen, I still walked out blessed and on a high and with my stan card renewed for another decade, at a minimum. I was fully prepared to shart, but I found it literally impossible to do so, and that is for one reason only: THAT FUCKING VOICE.

If you acknowledge facts: that XtinE is a living legend; then that should be enough of an incentive for you to take the opportunity to see her live, IMO.

She took a 10-year break from touring (in US, even longer for Europe)! We didn't know if she'd ever tour again, let alone outside US.

Yet she did. AND she took the time to train and perfect her voice, updates her setlist frequently now and looks gorg!

But that doesn't make you wanna see her?


I myself take all the chances I can to see QuEn and laugh at bitches who didn't when they regret it.

Queen served a flawless retrospective of her hits and a few important deep cuts with heavenly fresh vocals and an absolutely glamorous look.

Literally nobody can do what my Queen did that night, whether they're 2, 20, or 40 years in the game.

Word!

I get that everyone has their own "hidden album gem" faves, not like I wouldn't love to hear Mercy on Me live some day!

However, Fighters should still maintain their sense of perspective. Like, is it not great that she's performing CELD again? And that she's doing that in her 3rd or 4th vocal prime? Or that she has re-included some songs that weren't performed since 2003 to the setlist?

No matter how critical you are, all of this is major improvement & hiqh quality artistry in of itself.

Like, all this complaining is just reading as "I will never think X is good enough" to me ngl.

OMG, if X got streaming gig with Amazon Prime, even for a limited amount of time, I would hit that subscribe button faster than thirsty bottom jumps on monster dick!

Oh man. What a missed opportunity for Christina. Hopefully there’s still something coming.

!!!!!! Exactly this is what X should do; get a streaming deal so that these new 20yo kids get educated on what's up!

:mamacita: I'm certain she'd attract some new fans & remind the old (bitter hags) what a legend she is!

To all you ninnies who contemplated not attending because of the setlist: you are entitled and delusional. Brief history lesson, she's been changing the setlist since 2018. She presented Libby songs and some never-performed songs on Libby Tour, The X Tour and The Xperience.

Such as:
Keep On Singin' My Song
Unless It's With You
The Voice Within

She performs Maria and Twice frequently now, as she should. Moreover, when is the last time she has performed Contigo En La Distancia after 2000?

AT THIS VERY SHOW! (And one or two Mexico The X Tour shows)


Also can I fucking stan a bit this Genie arrangement?


Those high operatic notes!

All of you who got to even consider attending are lucky AF! :mamacita: Am I right? @BaeTine @MaCK.

She did as confirmed by her manager on IG.

Thanks for posting the confirmation!

She said X is such a pro and super sweet, but it breaks my heart to say this, my friend revealed that X mentioned a few times that she’s been feeling like she’s “Washed up.”

Which sounds absurd to me because she’s an icon. But she’s also human. Just made me sad to hear that.

That explains the tears and how grateful she was to be on that stage this past weekend. A part of me was thinking why she was so emotional (not in a bad way) as she’s performed at big stages for over 20 years. However I think any artist after a while starts to doubt if they’ve still got it or if anyone cares. I hope she knows that she not only still has IT more than most but that she is very much loved and appreciated.

Yeah, I mean, lot of artists doubt themselves and their popularity even after much shorter hiatuses than X and even at their peak popularity. So it's understandable. However, she's a fucking Legend and unlike many others, actually has all her stage presence intact & great discography. :mamacita:

the good sis has indeed put in the effort and deserves all the praise and more!

Not the half of Hollywood attending! Did not know this since I hadn't read this whole longass-novel of a thread!

NewAgenda wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 11:06 am Also, I think it’s cool how Christina is one of the few popstars since Whitney than can interchange between event types. Christina is the only popstar on this list. Most of the other popstars don’t have the range to go and do a Jazz festival or complete concert with an orchestra.

Yas! :mamacita:
