ugh I hate the HOTEL Love Songs concert so much..
I just rewatched some segments and.... I liked Shake It <3 & NaNaNa, as well as the beginning. Of course One Night Carnival too.
But everything else made me
- appears/Missing: disgusting stage set up (also why I couldn't stand CDL 11-12).. the beds and the one Maro with many women, yep, it reminded me of a place. also the way he was feeling her up throughout the performance... can she get anymore unprofessional? her vocals were really shaky during "appears" too, and that's one of my favorite songs from her. the AT 07 performance was flawless; I dunno I'd rather she repeat that than ... this mess.
- Party Queen: needless to say, I never liked the "I am a lonely queen" part. desperate cry for attention imho and I just didn't like it. perhaps the only thing that saved it was the better mix of the song live and the lights
- reminds me/Tell me why: for such personal songs it's beyond me why she needed so many dancers. I also couldn't stand the stage set up here. the doors and all that, bleh.. cheap is the word.
- kiss o' kill: obviously a "filler" song.. compared to the AT 07 one this was a lackluster performance.. couldn't feel any emotions or anything from it, so it's like she chose this randomly to replace Return Road. then again I'd rather have the empty kiss o' kill than the over dramatic and unprofessional Return Road.
I think 2012 was 1 of her worst years. the arena tour that year was really disappointing (moreso than the 2009 one I'd think)... meh..
I'm expecting flames and harsh comments on what I just said but it's what I feel. the Party queen era was a mess & I'm glad she's over it. and I sincerely hope she doesn't churn out garbage tours like HOTEL Love Songs anymore
