I must be honest with you guys... It was hard for me to see her abandon Bionic at the time, but honestly, she did it for the right reasons.

These “it wasn’t a tour for fans” comments, which have been the excuse for years now, are old. Christina could absolutely pull out never before performed songs and still have the audience vibe with her. Artists do it all the time.
I am bit gutted she misses out the second verses a lot these days... the second verse of Maria, Twice and ANOM are fire.electronicsupersonic wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 12:54 pm Could barely hear anything on those livestreams, so will check out for videos later. The setlist was what I expected. That's what you do when you are the guest performer with an orchestra, you play your hits. Not everyone is a stan, and know her sets by heart. I wish she did one song just for the fans, but that's ok. Love those new Genie and WAGW versions from what I could hear.
Since this was The X Tour redux, my problem with it remains the same I had with the tour. I think she needs to do full versions of the songs and less costume changes to keep a better flow.
I don’t remember if I already replied to this cause I was stoned af last night when checking this thread but
I’m GAGGING just like I did last night when i first read this BITCH WAS SO MAD !!!!I agree on the costume changes, maybe only change costumes every 4 or so songs. I think she was changing after every song... Also I did not like her climbing that Mt. Everest prop. Takes too much time. Give my girl a lift or something. I still enjoyed it but think there was more potential. I think tonight will be better... wish I could go again.electronicsupersonic wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 12:54 pm Could barely hear anything on those livestreams, so will check out for videos later.

Sisters, I feel y’all. But give our girl a break. This was like you and Martin said, for the masses. We’ll get more performances for the masses and for the fans come the new albums. Let’s enjoy it and don’t ruin it for ourselves! Again, I feel ya! But like Martine said, at least there were these fresh little rearrangements here and there. She’s making sure the general public remembers who she is. I’m legit SO happy for ROC and her working together.Mr. X wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:47 am "No beach balls, right?" LOL.
There were ample opportunities to bring in album tracks / new covers, especially with that orchestra. I get she had to perform for the masses and needed to do the hits, but even just ONE song she's never performed before (even truncated), would have been nice. I hope there's a surprise for tomorrow night's show.
Nothing personal against Dinvy, but…. big LOL other than Martin and Jimmy, the mod squad…. Leaves a lot to be desiredSanelyInsane wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:59 am Wtf is @dinvy on tonight? Got a warning for saying I didn’t feel bad anymore for not being able to attend? Gurl bye and grow the fuck up. Lawd, how sad you gotta be to issue a “warning” for a post like that?
I never knew and at this point I don’t care who was responsible from the mess from a few months ago with the merging and threat titles etc. But BYC, Tink, and even fucking London did a better job keeping the COMMUNITY both in line and active. This is slowly becoming into whatever was the name of that place that flopped because of weird rules? Just an opinion. At the end, this is a private community owned by Jorge, so i guess we should be grateful. 
I can’t believe she wasted her B2B gems yet again. Candyman is a well known song, and with the LA freaking PHILA Understand or Mercy On Me… what could’ve been. Ah, Christina. Ah…..SanelyInsane wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:03 amThe setlist was def a let down.Martin wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:47 am I agree the setlist definitely could've been better, but we gotta remember, when booking this show I don't think it was done with exclusively Xtina fans in mind. Similarly to Vegas this was more of a general public type of show, so I can see why she chose the usual hits with some Liberation sprinkled in. At least they were arranged differently so it was still a fresh experience.
This was the perfect opportunity to showcase a side of her artistry the world hasn’t seen yet and she disappointed with this setlist. A nice show but def could’ve gone a lot better considering she had the LA Phila Orchestra behind her. Oh well. She did look amazing though.

Her team could start polling her fans, and come up with amazing insights to have varied, fresh setlists.
But I guess she is honestly convinced that she has to have 70%+ hit songs or else people won't like her shows...
I'm so happy and proud of her for the sold out shows. that's amazing considering ther'e no album or single. and her last hit was Say Something.KevinKardashian wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 12:34 pm Both nights sold out. Not bad for a girl with no album sales.
Don’t mention UIWY.

The show was epic though. The general public doesn’t know she’s had the same set list for years like us.
