I think if we took out the messy Demi vocals this could've been a top 3 of all time performance. I really loved the start visuals and got Goosebumps when I realized there were women playing the guards too, the message in the song and visuals that accompanied it were so strong and suble. I loved the staging and overall direction of all of this. I love that it will be so easy to recreate on tour. Minimal but BIG IMPACT.
Also felt bad for all those singers. Not a single one (maybe Kelly, but Christina would KO her in 3 seconds flat) could hold a candle to Christina.
Can we talk about how nostalgic this award show felt? This is the first time where there is such a rift in the transition of music from the previous generation to now. Like eveyone def felt crazy old last night. We went from Legends and Icons across multiple decades to flash in the pan one hit in and you're out "artists". It's such a miserable state. We NEED more Christina and even Kelly! Bring back the legends.

Loved the performance and i thought X sounded amazing! My one criticism would be the creative direction. I think for a song like FIL especially the world performance debut, they should’ve dropped the soldiers, kept the backdrop and added a live band and background singers.
I think if they, at least, had backup singers they would have been able to do the call and response ad-libs while the backup singers kept up with the chorus as the song goes into the bridge and key change.
Other than that, I loved it.

"omg, omg, omg, omgomgomgomg...." Demi's thought process the entire night, probably.

It's a shame Demi hasn't done any TV or radio interviews this past week or two, I wanted to hear her stan for Xtina and talk about meeting her for the first time.

Yes. I wish Xtina would delivery this quality on a consistent basis. She is who she is so thats where my expectations of her lay but this performance, 10 years later shows, me what she can but chooses not to do.Tommy_Tank wrote: ↑May 21st, 2018, 2:55 am
One of my all time favourite performances of hers - but are you low key shading FIL?
TBH I dont find it shady to want Xtina to sing smart, in a way that highlights her voice, in a way where she can she can delivery live without worry about dodging notes, because she developed an arrangement that works for her. But like I said I
ve accepted that Rattina is not going to be who I want her to be , unless she gets rid of Ratt

I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping
The way would become clear
I spent all this time tryna play now
I found my way here
See, I've been having me a real hard time
But it feels so nice to know I'm gonna be alright

If your mind determined that my post about her vocal arrangements = her being thin, you might want to re-evaliate your own thoughts and not project them onto me.MartinE wrote: ↑May 21st, 2018, 12:53 pmStopIt! wrote: ↑May 21st, 2018, 12:49 pmYes.

So what exactly does Matt have to do with her vocal arrangements? What does he hold her back from doing?

GREATNESS, HER FULL POTENTIAL. INSPIRATION
Xtina's music with Jordan vs Xtina's music with Ratt - Name one song she made about Ratt?
Since Ratt we got two first singles about random Sex. Lotus 's quality was what it was. She didn't perform YB, her career with Ratt vs her career with Jordan.
Even Liberation is about her being unhappy and wanting to break free.
You reached and missed.

So what does that have to do with her vocal arrangements? You made it sound like your post was ENTIRELY about the vocal arrangements and could not be interpreted any other way. Did Jordan arrange that Beautiful performance?

So the player is basically hating on everything at this point. Blatantly said he doesn't like the songs she has released and doesn't like the way she sings.
Ban her!
Ban her!
