Vocals are secondary and I'm not concerned about the band holding up its end.
I thought both "Beautiful Child" and "Storms" were big gambles, since they are not hits and have a slow tempo which, if not done well, can really bring the pacing of a concert to a screeching halt. She pulled them off beautifully, but she really needs another rocker in the set anyway. That's why I always argue that "Stand Back" needs to be in the set....it's often her only moment to really let loose. Even SOTM isn't a particularly fast song, but it is a rocker, and adding another one can only be a good thing.
