Everything post We Wish was performed in the same costume and was very much like during the first Trouble. The dress she wore during JEWEL seems new. And then was such a surprise. I loved the setlist. The tnL/ESM perfs were very similar to the HLS ones except that they got a girl from the audience on stage for tnL. This is was I expected from PoM2018.

Everything following JEWEL was mostly rock and she was load, but managed to control herself most of the time. Love song and the encore songs were the same as the CDL. winding road was mostly off-key except from the last part when the music is silent. As I said there were mostly rock and upbeat songs, but JEWEL was definitely the star of the show vocal-wise. So tbh its hard to tell where she’s at.

talkin’ 2 myself also started the same way it did back for AT2008. Over-all not sure if she has improved or whether she picked songs that suit her better.
thank you for this detailed report! as usual, I hope her vocal quality improves or is sustained on a healthy(? all things considered) level throughout this last leg!
