She’s my favorite but I’m not that excited … just doesn’t seem like a new era … sounds like a re-release .. I hope I’m wrong

Love it and love her.  Gotta say though, it does sound a little disappointing.  As amazing and catchy as it sounds, it does sound like the stuff from her last album.  I’d prefer something fresh and innovative, but I guess she’s taking the Katy Perry route of if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  Hope she’s careful though, that approach eventually backfired on Katy.  Still excited to hear the full version.

Doesn’t sound fresh or new imo. Maybe it will become a buzz single. Guess we’ll have to wait to hear to full song.

Intrigued. First listen and I thought, it sounds like disco but it's more 80s synth. At least for the teaser.

Sound like something from FN. I'm disappointed. Hopefully, this is different from what is on the album. 

++I'm tired of the disco/70's/80's type of songs. 3 years after FN, it is overdone.

Well except she's continuously said in interviews the new album sounds different from Future Nostalgia ddd

But this is broken. At least, 80% of the people are tired of this kind of sound. (Before anyone talks about Dance the Night Away, it was only popular because of the Barbie movie without it, I bet it would have flopped).

I think it sounds promising

I mean, wasn’t Oops just a more upbeat Baby One More Time? I don’t really see an issue

SPOILERS AHEAD! She was almost 2 hours late, but there was, thankfully, no curfew like in the UK, so we got to experience the whole thing. I don't think they'd done soundcheck because there was something wrong with the sound (namely the fact that everything sounded pitched up, lowkey serving 2005 chipmunk cover realness). Also, it was way too loud, so I could barely make out what she or Bob were saying. Other than that, it was great - I loved the setlist (except for the absence of "Frozen"), and the light design/engineering was incredible. It was a good mix of hits and more obscure songs, such as:

My only complaint would be too much edging - some of the songs ended way too soon. I was like, "ONE LAST CHORUS, PLEASE!!!" sooo many times (specifically when it came to "Hung Up" and "Like a Prayer"). I'm really glad she performed "Live to Tell" in full, though. It was already a top 3 M song that never fails to give me chills, but the show really gave it a new meaning. The tributes in general were very thoughtful. It was also cool how she spotlighted her children and their talents, and "Vogue" was so much fun (despite many fans saying they butchered the song).

It's cute.  After her press run teasing the new album, I was kinda expecting something different, but if you think about it, it makes complete sense as a transition from "Future Nostalgia" to "DL3". I'm sure we'll get grittier songs (as promised) on the album, and I'll always applaud her for her dedication and willingness to improve. She doesn't whine when criticized - she just gets better.
