so glad someone else made it who could appreciate more than just A thousand Miles because she is so much more than that one song! It was funny, I was hanging around with two of the girls I met and this boy walked by singing ATM and he said, "OH I know every word to that song!" The girls and I just looked at each other and laughed, I said, that's probably the only song he knows! Oh well, at least people appreciate her at all.
I find it funny, because honestly ATM is probably the song I like least of Vanessa's. Perhaps it was just too overplayed when it came out, but I really didn't become a fan until her next single, and find her 2nd and 3rd albums so much better than the first as well. But with a crowd like that, they would probably get upset if she left the stage without playing.
It was certainly an interesting audience though... I was kinda surprised that a steady stream of folks thought the show was all over when she left the stage the first time and didn't even think there might be an encore. If not for the fact that it finally gave me a decent view I might have said something to stop them. hehe.
I'm very happy someone got some video though. Security told me to put my camera up and wouldn't let me take it in. They wouldn't let someone in line near me go in with their smart phone either. But despite actual pat-down searches at the door (a first for any concert for me - they hiring TSA agents? *lol*) I still saw a number of phones and video's being made.
But as I said before, despite the venue and younger inexperienced crowd, it was a great show. Vanessa was obviously rusty (and said so) but still sounds as great live as she does in recording. She's one of the few artists who can make that claim in my experience.
