WOAH! Then when she walked out on stage in that tophat and her Rhiannon outfit I was completely mesmerized. It actually choked me up a little bit, seriously. It was like taking a trip down memory lane. She was beautiful, sexy, and enchanting. Her vocal was very good throughout the song. There is so much magic to that Rhainnon performance. Loved it.
Vanessa Carlton was very good too. The harmonies on "The One" were extraodinary.
I thought the strings on GDW were very creepy and effective. I really love that rendition of the song.
Landslide made me bawl like a baby. What's personal to Stevie is also personal to a lot of us. The moments we've shared with our parents over the years is precious to a lot of us. Those special one on one times with either Mom or Dad and the family times are some of the best of our lives. I wanted to get up on that stage and give her a big hug after she gave her speech about Jess and the "Landslide" story. But it wasn't just about that, it also chronicled Stevie's life and career and made it very apparent that her family was always a big part of it. "Landslide" was the absolute most sentimental part of Soundstage.
I really loved everything about the Soundstage performance. Stevie, Waddy, the Band, Vanessa, The Girls, the stage, and the orchestral parts. They all deserve a standing ovation for this. Absolutley wonderful! And thanks Joe Thomas!!!
