But then again, I'm one of those unconditional kooks that could find brilliance in her farting into a microphone!  (*Puts asbestos suit on for the incoming flames*) |
I saw her in Houston for the OSM tour - she was high as a kite and moved only a little. I remember thinking she was singing okay - in fact fine or great in some areas - but she looked so wasted I was very nervous for her and worried she might pull a Bette M. in The Rose. Thank goodness she cleaned up her act.
As an aside, I remember trying to rush the stage as I had done for the RAL tour and not being able to do so because I was too late and too far up
But, I got within like ten rows so I guess that is better than nothing
Finally, I thought her voice was much worse on the TITN tour. And, while I love her, CM's voice was not good on that tour as well. I have trouble listening to those boots and rarely do because of that - well that and I did not care for Billy and Rick's voices in the blend, though I like them on their own and recognize each has a lot of talent. The TITN tour was just not that great for me
Interestingly, La Nicks and CM both regained their voices with a vengence for The Dance; actually, Stevie had hervoice for SA, but no one or at least few would look past the weight - sad, very true.
