Which song was performed better live...

[Mmonta4]

I vote for Beautiful Child. I was surprised by the ending "I do, love you. I still, need you. I wish, I wish that you were mine" and even more surprised how much I loved it.

Storms was great too, but it lacked the light almost whispered quality of the album version. I wish she had sang it softer in concert.

This is easy for me. While Beautiful Child was awseome live, Storms just blew me away when I saw it. And its not like it was more of a shock to here Storms then BC. In 2003 Beautiful Child was just as unheard of as Storms was in 2009. But Storms met my expectaions 100 percent plus a lot. Beautiful Child didnt wow me live until the very end of the song.

Very - very! - tough choice, but I'll go for Storms. It felt so fresh and brand new when she did it live. I felt a certain viciousness and anger in her voice when she sang "never have I been a blue calm sea" which surprised me. (Did she sing "calm blue sea", or am I imagining that...?)

I'm with you on this.
