As far the Enchanted tour, I can't imagine she didn't notice how enthusiastically the audiences greeted those "acoustic" songs.

You'd think. But I suspect that the debacle of SA and the downturn of her career took away a great deal of her confidence and has changed her into a more fearful performer. Not that she didn't stick to formula before that time period. It is at once a little endearing but mostly confounding that a person of her stature has so little innate cockiness and self assurance. I suppose when I was younger that whole vulnerablility thing was appealing and made me want to protect her and make excuses for her. But my knight in shining armour complex is a thing of the past. Now it just makes me want to kick her ass. One of many things that changed the way I look at her as an artist and shifted my expectations. Downward.
