All I will say about song selction is this...
1 - As a fan, and a longtime fan, I would love to hear older/more underperformed songs. I'm really sad I didn't get to see Return Road on either night.
2 - That said, many of her fans DO know her mostly for her hits. TA tour is slightly different, but even still. I will always repeat that last year when she did Present in the encore people were like...what's this song? I don't know it, I don't know the lyrics. And there is a visible drop in energy in the crown. Before the finale, I was talking to a Japanese girl outside and she was asking if me or this other girl have been to CDL. I said I haven't been to one since CDL 04-05 and her jaw dropped that I had been a fan for so long, and had seen her that long ago.
3 - To the above point, as an audience member, the energy is everything (in the best way). The concert is like a giant party. Even if you may be sick of Evolution, the crowd isn't. Even songs like Progress and NOW & 4EVA, which I don't particularly love, were awesome. And I was even surprised to find out that I knew the choruses pretty well.
