Stevie In Hollywood Tonight!

shebop · #1 07-12-2011, 04:11 AM

I came out of the gym at 10:30 tonight and saw 2 tweets on my phone saying that Stevie was the Special Guest with Vanessa Carlton at 11:30 at a tiny club 3 blocks from my gym!
I couldn't go in my gym clothes so I drove home,changed clothes,
and was back at the club - called "Bardot" at 11:20. I told the doorman my story and he gave me a wristband and let me in - he said they should go on about 11:45.
The place was packed - I found a spot on a staircase facing the stage and after about 20 minutes I saw Vanessa and Stevie coming in from a side door. They led Stevie to a tiny table right in front of the stage - right below me!!!
Vanessa did about four songs and then introduced Stevie who came up and sang on two songs with her. The first was a new song - the second was "Carousel". Stevie sounded and looked great. She was in black pants and top and had her glasses on the whole time. She spoke about how Vanessa had spent Christmas in Phoenix with her family and when asked to sing a Christmas song she said she didn't know any and "Carousel" was what she sang.
What a nice surprise of a night......

Sounded cool. But what is up with her and the top and pants, now with the glasses on too?? Triple irk for me anymore smh. She shouldn't hide her eyes from the crowd as an artist. It's disengaging. People want to see your eyes.

She needed to read the lyrics - it wasn't her show!

Probably a combination of the two and the fact that I'm having one of those days where you just say to yourself, "at least I still have Stevie...".

Way COOL! You must have been super excited and on cloud 9 to see Stevie in such an intimate setting like that. Thank goodness for Twitter or you might have never have known Stevie was going to be there and so close by. Okay, I am jealous now.
