Just came back from seeing Bernadette Peters in concert...

sorry...something weird happened...

and she was on FIRE tonight even though the audience was filled with a bunch of old, crotchety people who were not responsive. Seriously, that woman is 60 and sounds phenomenal and looks like she's 35! I think the thing that I loved so much is that she was so alive and present in her songs. I know she's sang those songs thousands of times (and i've seen some of them before) and she totally surprised me with the different colors and little nuances she changed. She is such a pleasure to watch. If anyone gets the chance to see her, please do. Worth every penny.

I saw Bernadette a few months back and it was a great show. She really worked the stage and the crowd and mixed in a nice variety of music and tones. And she didn't overdo the angst, which was nice. I just get bored with shows that are endless streams of self-absorbed balladeering.

oh my god, i know! I had never heard the song before...I didn't even think she needed the piano.

OMG! Where did she perform? I must've been hiding under a rock. I think there is a conspiracy to keep me from seeing one of my favorite performers live in concert. I'm glad to hear that she is still amazing- though I never doubted it for one second.

I saw her in Knoxville, TN. She was a guest artist for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.

WHAT DID SHE SING? We want songlists!!

Oh I love "Making Love Alone" I have that on my myspace page! Her intro to it is sooo funny and sexy!
