X-Dre

Most of the 20,000 attendees enjoyed the concert, this is clear from the recorded videos. Fans wanting a longer show is actually a compliment; it means they liked it and wanted more. Christina keeps concerts shorter because live singing is very demanding for an excellent vocalist like her, especially with back-to-back shows. People complain about the setlist but it included all her major hits; changing it to lesser-known songs would likely bring more complaints. She adapted the show for a Latin American audience, including "Santo," "Falsas Esperanzas," and "Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti." She mentioned Mexico City multiple times; the one slip (saying New Mexico) was a simple human error. Different countries have different expectations: while Mexico City had mixed reactions, Costa Rica loved a very similar show. As a fan, it would be great if she sang more full songs instead of relying on riffs over backing vocals, i agree, I would suggest an acoustic segment (just sitting and singing) could be a great addition that fans would really appreciate with songs like: Come On Over, Lift Me Up and Twice.

I just saw her live and it was AMAZING!

Barbra: Silky voice with a beautiful tone! 9/10 Ariana: Trying too hard to sound like Mariah, but beautiful voice and melismas! 8/10 Mariah: Her whispering sound is beautiful, but she can't belt anymore. Her vocals ruin the song . 6/10 Song: Very basic. Forgettable. 6/10

I've always had a hard time understanding what R&B actually is. Sometimes it feels like the Grammy nominations in that category are based more on the artist's ethnic background than the actual sound of the music. I always thought R&B was a specific genre. For me, Ashanti was the definition of R&B when I was growing up, but at the same time, early J.Lo was R&B too. Maybe it's because I'm from Europe, but it's always been confusing to see artists like Beyoncé in the R&B category (which kind of makes sense), but then also Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics, which sounded more like the official definition of R&B: R&B blends pop, gospel, blues, and jazz, with a strong beat. That helped a little, but honestly, I still see it mostly as a music style, and not necessarily something tied to someone's background or identity. So yeah, can someone like Ariana Grande be considered an R&B? Her music is R&B... What about Christina? Where's the line? PS: Maybe I'm coming later for the

Was there a duet with Melody? That would be iconic!

"Do You Know" is her best album and I'm really happy about this EP being very country, even better than Do You Know! The songs are pretty good and I love the production as well... Breadcrumbs - 7/10 Sunday Lover - 7/10 Blame Me - 8/10 Use My Heart Against Me - 9/10 Leave - 9/10 However, I cannot stop thinking about what happened to the songs she did you Linda Perry!

Nicole is the best actress in the group, but not from this movie. I think Demi surprised everyone as she was amazing! Angie is my favourite actress, so I voted for her. But I want Fernanda to win!!

I want her and Amelle to have a duo band and release a POP album together!

My favourite jams from her recent work:

She lives in Portugal and the UK, an emigrant voting for Trump... nothing new!

Let's be honest, Pia and Loren made it work!! I love Katherine but she's singing with two superpower vocalists!

There is a misconception that female singers naturally lose their voices as they age. Why? There have been 2 major cases that may have created this idea: 1. Whitney Houston, was considered one of the best singers, but drugs destroyed her vocal cords. 2. Mariah Carey, another top vocalist, because of her nodules and (let's be honest - her live style) wine and lack of rest. So it doesn't make sense to expect Christina NOT to sing well! Ariana, Demi, and Miley will still be amazing singers when they reach Christina's age. Look at Patti Labelle, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin and Celine Dion. They all kept their powerful voices! So I believe that Mariah and Whitney's cases created this misconception. Opinions?

Jade... wow! I'm becoming a fan! She is serviiiiing EVERYTHING!

Obvious is such a beautiful performance!!! And I Turn to You was such a classic when I was growing up, it gave me chills! She will always be my pop diva who saved my life!
