Songs she would absolutely do:
Starshine
24k Gold
Lady
The Dealer

Songs she might add:
Belle Fleur
Twisted
All The Beautiful Worlds
Hard Advice

I wish she would do Mabel Normand

Vocally speaking, I think Stevie will stick with the easier songs...

"IYWML"
"Mabel"
"24KG"
"Belle Fleur"
"Watch Chain" (there are a few strange people on here that loathe this song, but I think it's catchy, upbeat and the harmonies with the girls would be outstanding.)
"Hard Advice"
"Blue Water"

I think the Jimmy Fallon performance of "Lady" proved that it is NOT a song that translates well to the stage. Bless Stevie for giving it the good old "college try" but she was pitchy, flat and downright strained in parts. "Cathouse Blues" also has too many higher notes.

I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to hear "ATBW" live! I would die a happy camper. In the YouTube commentary, she stated that she thinks it would sound great on stage...but this is one of those songs that might not translate well either, due to some higher notes.

But then again, Stevie being the performer she is, she would probably just modify the higher parts on certain songs down to a lower note. Post Rumours tour "Rhiannon", the current live "Sisters OTM" and of course "Sorcerer" being prime examples.

Who knows what she'll pick. Regardless, we'll all be happily surprised and disappointed at the same time.

I know. I loved "a little bit of it" too...but (and this is just my opinion) I don't like the way she "belted out" most of the song. The strained, pitchy parts made me cringe. Like I said, I think she tried her best...but it's definitely a "studio song" for me.

I definitely don't see her doing ATBW and Lady if there's a tour next year. Especially if she's struggling with a highly transposed Seven Wonders which has already been dropped on the current tour.

I don't think it'd be right to promote it as the 24KG tour considering by the time she gets to tour it, the album will be about 1 1/2 years old. Maybe she'll rush out volume 2 and tour in fall 2016?

I agree about Lady...not a great song to do live unless she's in tip top form vocally. I think Watch Chain could be amazing on stage...lots of lighthearted fun!!!

I'm not feeling ATBW live...

I think Mabel will be too much for her, live. It chugs along, never breaking, with an energy that I just don't think she can keep up with. I hope I'm wrong!

I liked it... This was the first song off the album that I really connected to. I just rewatched the performance... I'm wondering if her corset is not allowing her to breathe properly or something. She seems like she's not getting enough air.

I would love to see Lady live. I am not sure she would be able to keep up with all the MN words to be honest...

Why do you all think she'll do The Dealer? I didn't think that song was super notable, aside from being a single.

Definitely think she should tap into the country market. Blue Water would have been a great first single with Lady Antebellum. I remember when I first picked up her solo stuff I was surprised by how it sounded way more country than rock.
