Fans outraged at Christina Aguilera for misnaming the country and cutting the concert in half (video)
Singer Christina Aguilera has come under sharp criticism for a rather unpleasant mistake during a concert in Mexico City (Ciudad de México). The music star performed at the Palacio de los Deportes arena in the Mexican capital on Tuesday, but made a serious blunder when she referred to the city as "New Mexico" from the stage.
TL;DR
- Christina Aguilera mistakenly called Mexico "New Mexico" during a concert in Mexico City.
- Concertgoers were upset that the performance lasted only 55 minutes, significantly less than the advertised two hours.
- Complaints also included Aguilera's late arrival, poor stage production (plastic tarps over equipment), and shortened versions of popular songs.
- Some fans defended Aguilera, citing her demanding schedule and mentioning she had acknowledged Mexico earlier in the show.
- The setlist reportedly omitted major hits like "Candyman" and "Come On Over."
- Aguilera's recent performances include shows in Texas, with upcoming dates in Costa Rica and Abu Dhabi.
