I'm with general consensus- Opening v/o WAY too long and needs to go. I get that they want to introduce the theme 'idea', but it will so distract me from what's going on on the floor. Something shorter and sweeter would do nice..
I'm not sure how I feel about the mix as a whole. I know SOME of Stars mixes, and when I heard a song I was like 'Oh, I remember that one!' and kinda head bobbed along to it.. It's definitely 'for the current fans', but I'm not sure how it will do in making a 'new' fan out of someone, ya know? Like, I'm not the biggest F5 fan (I do like them), but I always enjoy their music. This wouldn't make me like stars if I wasn't already a fan. I'd be like 'Oh, that's cool' and skip to a diff mix. I don't know if they chose the right blend of songs to put together. I know 'fan suggestions' are the new thing, but audibly I don't know if it worked out. Maybe I'll like it once I see the routine with it, or it might make me hate it lol. I'm just glad they left out Copacabana..can't take more Manilow haha..
