Was anyone else there ??? Kristin was wonderful, and the crowd ate it up !!! Too tired to post complete song list, but last (2) numbers were "For Good" and encore was "Glitter and be Gay" (which she said she is retiring)

Great show !!!

I saw it!
AMAZING!!!
yeah she sang For Good by herself

but hte stage door afterwards was chaos!! there were lots of people, adn we all waited about an hour and a half, when some guy comes out and says "I'm very, very sorry, but Kristin will not be coming out"

so like half the group leaves, which still leaves about 20 ppl though SO ANYWAY
about 15 minutes later, a guy comes out with iron gates thingy and makes a line for kristin
and out she comes!!!!!!!!

I Saw Kristin, and this woman is Flawless.
Her personality mixed with her talent creates such an amazing spectacle. As a friend qouted, "She is a freak of nature". There is no one out there like her.
And yes, she sang "For Good" by herself, and it worked. Every song she sang worked.
What I loved is that she sang "Bill" from Showboat, and actually played at the humor that is intentional with that song. I've always seen it performed in the dramatic Julie way, but Kristin did it, and got laughs.
Also, Mister Snow - ABSOFUGGINLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
The Cincinatti Pops were just as good, as they played the most beautiful orchestration of Children Will Listen.
KC is a talent that exceeds expectation. If anyone gets a chance to see her, DO. You will be surprised.

P.S. For all those that saw it, I was in row P, right side aisle, Where were you all at?

I enjoyed the performance as well. She seemed a little tired, not as energetic, so she looked like she was working. Usually that bubbly persona of hers comes across as very natural.

I saw her September concert and the vibe that night was so good that it's hard to imagine any performance will ever live up to that.

She works best in material created for her (signature songs Taylor and 14G). I was seated next to someone who had never heard of her and she walked away a fan, which made the performance more enjoyable, otherwise it was the same material, different night. And she said she would be putting "Glitter" away for a while to work in new material.

We waited around for her afterwards, no Aaron Sorkin, but Josh Rhodes (Chicago) went off with her. She was very nice afterwards and said she was heading back to LA for West Wing.
I'd like to see her pick one area and concentrate on it, she spreads herself a little thin and it shows.
She could get up there and recite the alphabet though and I'd love it.

And she ditched her usual wardrobe for more glamorous attire, assuming because she didn't really dance, straight up singing.
And I should mention the Cincy Pops were quite good too. Updated On: 1/26/05 at 03:43 PM

"it was the same material, different night. And she said she would be putting "Glitter" away for a while to work in new material."

Thats one reason I did not go - I love KC, but she's been largely singing the same songs for a few years now. It sounds as if last night was practically the same show as the John Jay College concert of two (three?) years ago.

I personally wish her next concert appearances would feature an all-new group of songs.

How was her Chicago medly? Which Chicago songs did it consist of?

I wonder if shes really with Josh Rhodes from Chicago? That would be interesting.

[ChickPea]

Posted: 1/26/05 at 8:03pm

Who is Josh Rhodes and why interesting?

Posted: 1/26/05 at 8:13pm

She didn't do a Chicago medley, the Pops played it.
No idea about Josh Rhodes, I've only seen him in a couple of shows.

I was there! It was amazing, although I think her September show was actually better. My favorites were "Bill," "14G," "'Til There was You," "Taylor," and "Glitter and be Gay." I thought the Pops were amazing as well . . . "Chicago" and "America" were a lot of fun, and "Children will Listen" was breathtaking . . . anyone know why she did not sing it? She was billed as singing it . . .

Great show!
