The VIDEO of Stevie singing The Rose!!!

If anything, it distracts from the performance rather than enhancing it, in my opinion.

But if Stevie's having fun doing it, then, hey, ya know, I guess that's all that matters!

She could be sitting on a stool up there for an hour and a half and I probably wouldn't care.

I have loved this song for years. My good friend always does it at karaoke. It would be grand if Stevie put this on an album or released it as a single. It really does suit her and it made my eyes get watery too! Funny how Stevie brings that out in people.

LOL indeed!!

Or for her diminishing vocals. The Rose should be a little sweeter sounding on the ears I think. But that is minor (she has feeling behind her singing) compared to the hand gestures. She is beginning to look crazy.

Crazy like a fox! I kind of love the hand gestures.

I sort of agree with you about "the Rose," but after watching the video I suspect it was one of those performances that sounded incredible in person, and didn't translate well to video.

It also probably sounds better in it's entirety than it does in just that snippet.

All of the reviews of it were pretty glorious.

Yeah, the vocals seemed a bit of a struggle, and the hand gestures are really campy/goofy.

I got excited when I noticed her starting to do hand gestures for Lindsey's songs too (there's only one brush we need), because I began to imagine all the places she could go with that. The tall grass in SHN, to begin with.

I say we pick a song of hers and make up our OWN hand motions, and start doing them when she sings it at the concert. It will be like a flash mob, only... not really. Maybe she'll like our choreography and use it herself.

I think If Anyone Falls in Love would be fun, with doors closing from behind, hearing voices through a wall, and falling in love, one of us, can't you picture the hand signals?!

That WOULD be a good one!

I also thought Secret Love would be a nice contender. You need some rest, listen to me, secret loves secretly dying (I'm picturing a cocked neck, rolling eyes, tongue hanging out the side).. going upstairs... down here in tears...

I agree. I liked a lot
Just curious about the sunglasses. I'm sure she got a problem that day, like a stye or similar. She even appears wearing them in the pictures. I remember a department store opening here with a Miss Peru and she got to wear sunglasses the whole event, probably because of an eye problem

[CADreaming]

^I think Stevie's just wearing them because she thinks she looks cool and it helps with the lights.

Stevie would be ticked by this.
