Back from a quick trip to Atlanta for the Justina concert. Biggest surprise? How incredible Christina's show was. Like so many others, we were really there to see Justin, and in the process, became HUGE Christina fans. Loved her energy, her honesty, her new arrangements of old songs, and her male dancers. I'm sorry there were so many glitches in the Memphis show----this one went off without a hitch, and the half-naked pole dance was just GORGEOUS. (Trust me---I'm a real afficianado of poledancing---the nakeder the better.) Her show was insanely sexy, and the men in our party loved it as much as the ladies.
Justin was as wonderful as we expected, clearly enjoying himself. His dancing was spectacular. But the boy needs to fire his sound man. At the risk of sounding like a geezer, the bass was so loud that at times it was impossible to hear him, and we never once heard the horn section. I make it a point to wear really good, professional quality sonic tubes----it wasn't just me. We overheard several girls making cellphone reports after the concert saying the same thing. He's such a perfectionist that I can't imagine he'd be satisfied with what we heard. Now that most performers use the in-the-ear monitors, do they ever actually hear what they sound like to the audience? If they're leaving it up to the sound guys, I've got news for them: they're all DEAF. Binoculars? Oh, yeah, I'd highly recommend them. Lovely boy up close. It did make the whole crane thing look REALLY scary, though.
Overall? Amazing evening. We'd all do it again in a heartbeat. But we did agree that next time, we'd love to see Justin get as dirty as Christina, and I mean that in the nicest possible way ;-)
Is it too much to hope for a DVD of this tour?
