I like all of the new songs we've heard so far enough, but none of them really seem worthy of a farewell. Finally is my favorite, but it still pales in comparison to some of her best ballads.

For the videos, Finally is a huge disappointment because it feels so lazy. It seems like a collection of commercial clips, or making-of photo shoots, interspersed with a couple of cut scenes here and there. Showtime is probably one of the most quirky videos she's done in a LONG time, so I appreciate that. Do it for love she's so genuinely happy looking, which is nice -- but overall it could be any video from the past 8-10 years for her -- just her typical dancing around, looking like she's having a good time being girl, type video.
