Carrie Underwood / Lindsey Buckingham Duet

[Nico]

I really loved this performance. I like the dynamics between Linds and this Carrie girl, though she seemed quite immobile and wooden in her performance. But it was hip, and far better (to me) than that performance with those four hokey country people he sang with last.

Lindsey stole it for me (biased as I am). Carrie Underwood is an attractive chick with an OK singing voice, limited stage presence, and adequate guitar-playing abilities (is that being generous?) but I must say her fans have offended me with some of their ignorant comments like him being "over the hill" and "ewww he is taking away from Carrie's spotlight" and "I thought it was going to be a woman" and "he can't sing." I mean, shoot, she is singing his song that he wrote when he was, like, a year older than her (and has subsequently become a classic)...I mean, she should be honored that he bothered to come up there and sing with her, even cordially restraining himself from completely blowing her off the stage.

And let me not get into how they said his guitar-playing was "trying to override Carrie's incredible skills." wtf?

Aside from that, it was awesome!! Lindsey amazes me every time. It's like the two-month-book-rant-thread thing never existed right now.
