The addition of the Beyonce/MirLam lines is just genius. They totally should add that to the recorded version. lol :)

I loved every single performance except WCIS. Carrie sounded great but Ashley screamed the entire song. WTF. He hit the bridge and completely lost his cool. Awful, awful, awful.

....but gotta love Carrie's dedication to those close to her. Haha, true! I'm already trying to guess who the mentor and guest for country theme week on Idol are gonne be from Carrie's circle of friends. She says she only gives "suggestions" but apparently, her suggestions are equivalent to working orders

It is kind of awesome to think that Carrie helps make programming decisions on American Idol. She's so fierce at the end of Undo It.

Could the video being played during the UI performance be UI's official music video? It would make sense that they already filmed the video ahead of time.

I suggest anyone susceptible to epileptic siezure do not look at the background for SLT!

She's so fierce at the end of Undo It. Apparently, that's not even the end yet of the performance? She pauses for crowd reaction then continues. But most of the videographers stopped recording becaue they thought it was over. (Unless this is the part already after the pause? Anyway, I suppose we'll get a full vid eventually) Hmm, Vince and Ran. I can see that.

Show started late. Is the setlist the same so far? And I hope the crowd gets in a better mood. I saw a number of angry tweets and a description of a mad crowd because they weren't being allowed into the venue.

Yep. Same set-list thus far. Tree wasn't set up tonight, but she is still swinging. New dress for TH/JAD:

They probably didn't have time to set up the tree :) And never mind my worries about the crowd's mood. Looks like they're great.

For the people that went to the concert last night, does Carrie hold out the mic at all and let the crowd take over on any songs like she did on JTTW and more so on BHC last tour? That was pretty awesome.

That was pretty awesome. UI and BHC. not for JTTW. JTTW was a medley with HGTA; it wasn't the full song.

They weren't prepared tonight. She is performing Change in the dress she performed ITYS in last night. And, no piano for Mama's Song.
FC voted for Rock, Carrie performed Home Sweet Home.
I swear, it better not be Rock every show....

'69' is just an amazing 80s-esque pop/rock cover. Carrie's voice on 80s/90s pop/rock and rock is just absolutely perfect ('Alone', 'Sweet Child O' Mine, and '69'). I would love a record of such a style of music. 'Songs Like These' sounds and looks like blast to sing and dance to- love the Beyonce/Miranda interlude ! She really needs to release this as a single. 'Stop Loving You' recorded is spectacular but the live version quality is not that good, so I am reserving judgement until I hear the version in person next week- can't wait ! Although I hope that 'Undo It' is not the next single, I have to eat my words about the song, because that live version was f'in unbelievable ! Oh and the middle of 'Last Name' was KILLER ! I really broke a promise to myself that I would hold out from viewing all the great media posted since my show is just a few days away, but I couldn't resist. I am so bloody stoked to see Carrie live again ! Thanks to all who posted reviews and media clips.

Looks like they had to make up for lost time by cutting out props, as Typo points out. So that's no tree, no LED dress, no piano. Well, at least there's no 'distraction' from the emotion in "Change." And concertgoers say more chatter from Carrie tonight. No Ed Eason too; his wife had a baby.

No piano? I hope they don't take it out for good. I thought it really worked during MS! Maybe it's due to the delay and they couldn't get everything set. I hope it's not rock every show either! (even though I voted for it at mine)

Nvm. I jumped the gun, apparently XM Highway announced again that UI is the 3rd single.

Lack of musical/artistic talent aside, these kinds of deviations from what are originally planned would drive me NUTS!!! From all accounts, Carrie is still funny and talkative tonight despite the changes. I bow down at your feet, Ms. EOTY!

SLT is such a better choice, IMO. I prefer SLT as well. But, I could live with UI. Both have hit potential. However, didn't Sirius/XM reveal that ITYS was the 4th single off CR?
