^ lol. Yes, I guess that was you sitting very close to me. How strange that we randomly ended up in the same section. I wasn't sure it was you though, so I didn't say anything. (hitting myself now) I saw some of your boyfriends expressions as the songs came up and when Humming came on he had the best OMG THIS AGAIN expression on his face, lol.

I agree with most of what you said in your review. Especially about the opening - like it was trying to be epic but failed somehow and then right after that a series of songs where she is mostly sitting imo that kinda messed up the mood of the concert right from the beginning and it kinda struggled to get back on track.

I also agree with you sooo much about Love Song. I wanted to hit someone when that came on in that section of the concert.

Her vocals I thought were acceptable for her. Not bad but not really great either. The only performance where her vocals bothered me, actually 2 performances (I wasn't too crazy about the babyish voice she used in Ladies Night) but the only one that really bothered me was Rainbow. That's one of my favorite songs of all time, but to me, I thought she used her "power" voice way too much when the song should have been sung softly. Also, as you said, the dancers all looked incredibly tacky during this.

There was virtually no MC. I kinda like that though. MC's usually bore me.
