It is great to see a talented artist, and hear her for real (no lip syncing) and a band that is really playing. It is also great to hear her, rather than the double-voiced studio version (if you never noticed, listen to her studio version and you will hear her voice is doubled). The studio version is very good. But it is nice to be able to hear a person's natural voice, too. I wonder where the event took place. The folks in the front row had $million seats, and did not realize it. Imagine having seats to a great artist that is just inches away from you -- no longer an option these days.

[@markberryhill2715]

If a performer got that close to an audience today they would be stabbed, raped, robbed, and beaten before the song was over.

[@tammiepage6489]

Well it’s not an option anymore for the season because fans Started going wild and I mean by that they said they are go after the artist grab them and everything else instead of just sitting there enjoying the music so they took advantage of that the people was it down and just enjoy the singer artist and so with that and I’m using now grabbing at them then we will probably be able to do that again
