Her singing was about equal on the last two tours--solid, shrunken range, but very powerful within that range. She's one of those singers who will sing until she has literally one note left--but it'll be a great note.
She sounded a bit tired on Unleashed, but I blame some of this on the same old song formula. Ditch Dreams, Gypsy, Rhiannon and Landslide.
She performed an incredible Stand Back when I saw her in Rochester.
Her performance of Stand Back on Ellen was a disappointment but it had more to do with not finding the right pitch. I think she started off and stayed that way through the whole thing. (This occasionally happened to Christine, too.) She's got about 15,000 more amazing performances left in her.
