From Rick on the other discussion board: Concert Review: Jackie's voice was stronger tonight than I've heard before in concert. Her nerves got to her a few times, but nothing significant, flubbed a word here or there and she either smiled or on one occasion, her eyes got wide but only for spilt second, than right back on track. Also, her timing seemed to be a bit off on a few songs, but I could be wrong. Jackie did hit some amazing high notes that blew me away on a few songs, especially The Prayer, Somewhere and Believe. Best I've heard to date. Jackie was beautiful but thinner than I've seen her. She appeared healthy and had a bright engaging smile. She moved about the stage and was very animated during her songs. Jackie thanked everyone for attending her first concert back, "two years is too long" she said. Jackie said it was nice that her first concert back was a Christmas Concert, and that she was nervous, but that's just human. She was also more emotional during some of the song introductions than I've witnessed before. During the intro to How Great Thou Art, Jackie seemed to choke back a tear and her voice broke slightly. Jackie also thanked her little sister Rachel for being there for moral support. I saw Mike a few times on the side of the stage, but not Rachel. Jackie's first dress was a beautiful a maroon velvet off the shoulder evening gown, but was a bit clingy. The second set dress was a translucent white full length dress, with a low cut front. Beneath she was appeared to wearing a dark yellow jumper. I didn't care for it, but my wife loved it. My only complaint was the house mix was too loud throughout the show, and during a few songs, Somewhere especially, the backing track was much too loud drowning out Jackie's voice. Reverb was a little much on a few songs also. Set list: 1. Silver Bells 2. Christmas Waltz 3. I'll be Home for Christmas 4. Phantom of the Opera Melody - Music of the Night - Point of no Return - All I want from you 5. River 6. She Used to be Mine 7. Merry Christmas Darling 8. The Prayer - Christmas Song Instrumental Interlude 9. The Christmas Song 10. How Great Thou Art Intermission 11. Misty 12. Silent Night 13. Burn 14. Believe 15. Once Upon a December 16. Somewhere - Another Christmas and Wizard of the Oz Instrumental Interlude 17. Somewhere Over the Rainbow 18. White Christmas 19. The Impossible Dream (Dedicated to her fans; Final Song) 20. O Mio Babbino Caro/Nessun Dorma Mashup (Encore 1) 21. Oh Holy Night (Encore 2) |
