So my point is that until she starts playing venues in small cities with the intent to play for her superfans (i.e. people here on the ledge), she will always go for the most commercially successful hits to appeal to the audience she is drawing in and then maybe a few songs that are personal for her to perform.

Well said!

Until she tours more like Lindsey (gasp) playing to "the right ears"....she can't dig as deep into her catalogue. I would love love love for her to do that kind of tour..... whether it will ever happen...another story. But I think it would put more of a spotlight on her music and not just her image, on her craft, not just her looks and her twirling.
