Beautiful gowns though.
Same, I thought she was going to do something really unique.

The show did become Xperience Pt II. I was hoping for something totally fresh that uniquely utilized the orchestra, but I was so happy to see queen thriving.

I hope she ditches CHUD tomorrow and replace it with Reflection or something.

Also, Bionic, Lotus and Burlesque lost. No songs from these albums.
Lotus has been losing since November 9th 2012, sis.

I was a bit disappointed. She said that she's been finalising the setlist and wanted it to be epic but bitch knew from the start what's she's going to sing. I hope tomorrow will have a better setlist.

Overall, a very nice show! She looked absolutely beautiful, almost channeling Marilyn Monroe. I loved the new arrangements on Genie and WAGW. I’m very disappointed that the rest of the setlist and arrangements were recycled from the Liberation Tour and the Xperience. However, I felt the stage design was mesmerizing with Christina atop the mountain with the different light displays and the dancers flowed beautifully with each song.

She owned that stage

And that final outfit for Beautiful was insane.

Hard to say atm but I think GIAB will be my absolute fave on the HQ rewatch

The set list was very much a Christina Aguilera concert. An interested person not a stan I shared the link with said they "forgot how many songs she had that they knew".

If it gets her back in the public eye I'm happy.

We all wish she brought a more surprising and esoteric mix... but for her hits I say wait til we hear the HQ versions before we go "yeah yeah yeah heard it all before"

I thought she looked and sounded beautiful. Agree she could definitely spice up the setlist but can't deny she always shines singing the blues.

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? :rip:

She sounded phenomenal on "At Last" and used her voice and body they way it naturally sings. None of that back-of-throaty stuff where her tongue just kinda sits and curves back.

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.
The setlist was def a let down.

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.

She sounded great, look on point, so ready for her come back! Although I was expecting something more epic with the Orchestra, and not because of the set list, but more about the arrangements!

I am hoping this is a closure to the past hits and now really focuses on the new music. The show was epic though. The general public doesn’t know she’s had the same set list for years like us.

She still performed a few of her newer fan faves like Maria and Twice :love:

After an extraordinary show tonight, tomorrow night is at 95% sold. Hope it will be a sold out show.

Personally, I don’t mind that she’s doing her hits for a more casual audience, but why not do more rearrangements like she did for Genie or WAGW? The reason the streamers could sing-a-long to every adlib from each song is because they’re identical to her past performances.

There are a few songs I feel she could retire, like It’s a Man’s World. Leave that iconic performance in 2008. I would have loved a Billie Holiday or Nina Simone cover or even a reprisal of “I Love the Lord” from her Xperience show. PMADT got a nice little remix earlier this year at that Verizon event, but that was absent at today’s show. I agree with others suggesting Reflection, too.

Also only Queen would wear a skirt that literally took 6 people to carry it everytime she moved and to hold it in place whilst singing a song about having insecurities and doubting yourself.
