you made a very finite comment about how PQTME was 'definitely mostly lipped.' a song that she has never once lipped a word of on tour. in any case, there isn't much point in continuing this exchange unless you come up with something compelling to say. on another note, how much do we expect that these shows will gross? I think $175 million could be a safe guess (though maybe a bit conservative) for now.

true, but that logic falls wayside once one takes into account that she used the exact same tracks for I Feel Love, IACBTMN, La Wally, MHWGO, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), TTWII, and TPOL.

and let me guess, when the third night has further differences it will mean that she's switching between three separate tracks? something that, btw, she has never done historically.

I implore you to compare PQTME between night one and two, especially since you were the one to refer to @MP3 as naïve.

to further elaborate on what I said two posts above, and now that we are able to compare videos from night one and night two: - as @Popboi. stated, ABM is live with the exception of the big 'anymore' - BYLM is live until the last 50 or so seconds (starting with the 'heyyyyy') - Courage is fully live - Encore un soir is fully live - I had my doubts that the verses were due to their remarkable consistency, but I guess they sit in a comfortable part of her range - The Prayer I am still unsure about because I cannot find a decent video of night #1 any longer - Un garçon pas comment les autres (Ziggy) is fully live of course all of this is just my opinion, and if anyone has any arguments then please feel free to present them. I'd especially love to hear from @Mr.X who brainlessly claimed that the entire show is lipped. seven full songs (minus ad libs), and portions of two others hardly equates to anywhere near the full show.

PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED OF THE SETLIST!!!!! I tried to add spoiler things, but I couldn't figure out how to get them to work lol. ----- now that I am home from France and have had the chance to look at vids of the show besides just mine, this is how I believe the lipping is broken down: live: Beauty and the Beast, Dans un autre monde, Dansons, Des milliers de baisers (the one word, lol), Destin, I'm Alive, J'irai où tu iras, Je chanterai, Les derniers seront les premiers, Love Can Move Mountains, Ne bouge pas, On ne change pas, Pour que tu m'aimes encore, S'il suffisait d'aimer, The Chase, Tout l'or des hommes lipped: All by Myself (final 'anymore' was live), Courage, I Feel Love, IACBTMN, La Wally, MHWGO, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (ad libs were live), That's the Way It Is, The Power of Love unsure: BYLM (sounds very live, but historically it's one that she has spent 19+ years at least partially lipping), Encore un soir (for some reason the verses sound lipped and the choruses sound live to me, but I doubt that she would flip back and forth like that), The Prayer (this one I literally have no idea, but I'm leaning towards lipped to a pretty mediocre-sounding track), Ziggy (this is a tricky one - if it is lipped then that would be interesting since it's one of the easier songs to sing here)

I saw them in Luxembourg, it was a dream come true.

umm or not, lol. The Chase was one of the highlights, imo.

overall a super classy show with a pretty good setlist, imo. some parts felt a bit unfinished imo (for example, after the opera bit when the stage went dark for probably four minutes - I wonder if they'll put a video interlude there at some point). I am in complete disbelief that she did The Chase.

@Mr.X on what planet is the whole show lipped? on what planet is more than 25% of it lipped, for that matter? it's funny that you claim to love her, yet apparently know very little about her. "I hope she is happy with it," you say - did you somehow miss the elation on her face throughout the show?

it's similar in size to basically any MLB stadium, which you'd probably have no issue considering to be one.

currently deciding what to wear to the show, hehe.

definitely in my top five of her catalogue. <3

this paragraph is beyond pathetic.

definitely, her voice is incredible imo.

Chanté sounds, unsurprisingly, incredible, and this makes me that much more excited for her next solo project. the whole spoken word thing is just not for me at all, but it brings back cute memories of 'And I Gave My Love to You.'

my point in bringing up the dancing (and the heels in particular) is that she appears to be in a much different state than she was between 3 and 4 years ago when the documentary was filmed. regarding brain stimulus, we know of at least three concerts and multiple hockey games that she attended last year. obviously attending events is different than putting them on, but that she could handle them (presumably without any issues) could be another reason for her confidence.

well, we should keep in mind that the documentary was filmed 3-4 years ago (that scene was filmed in 2022). quite recently we saw a candid vid of her dancing in high heels, which on its own suggests that she is probably in much better health than she was then.

just over three weeks until her Paris shows begin!

The Eras Tour would have had to gross at least $2.5 billion for this to be accurate.

how breathtakingly tacky of a thing to say, lol.

dreadful song imo, poor Donell.

the guy who sold over 170,000 tickets in your country just last year.

music reviews in general are entirely pointless imo, but there will always be a draw for them because sadly (and laughably) there will always be people who allow others to tell them how to feel about stuff.

it was Love Me Harder for me.
