The video I recorded of Fix You full... it's SO SOOO good!! I had no doubt that it would be the best concert of my life... but it was amazing... one of the highlights of my life... the trip from Brazil was more than worth it... meeting her 2 (plus spotting her a third one) was more than I could ever dream, hope or imagine!! Truly one of the best days of my life...
Going to bed now... exausted and can't keep my eyes opened... more to come tomorrow... (only a few left that are full, though)

Hopefully her performances get some good press in the UK and ensure a top 10 debut for the album.

Can't wait to see her latest rendition of JTTW/HGTA. I know we've heard it many times before, but it has been a while, and I simply love the thrilling feeling that comes when she transitions from JTTW to HGTA. Hopefully her vocal was as spectacular as ever for this new European crowd!
"Fix You" was stunning!
I hope to God there's a DVD release of this, or something. I would love to see this in full high-quality on my TV screen. So jealous of London right now!

Yes, especially since the clip has someone else singing in parts. Adele's DVD from the same place is one of the best things I own. I would love to get a release like that from Carrie. A great voice in a great venue like that shouldn't be missed.

Read this in a review of "Blown Away" the song:
I've read similar remarks. Apart from "BA" and "Two Black Cadillacs," though, what other 'dark' songs are there? I don't find the album to be dark in general.

I don't find the album to be dark in general. I guess "Good in Goodbye" and "Wine After Whiskey" could be perceived as kind of dark. "Who Are You" has a dark feel to it, but the subject matter really isn't dark.

Awesome audience response at RAH! So, so proud of Carrie!
For those who were there, did RAH forego putting chairs in the floor area (maybe so they could sell more tickets)? The people are so near the front, all standing and so packed together. From other concert vids I've seen from RAH, the audience are all calmly seated on their chairs in the floor area. This is great though, the appreciation from the audience is so up close and immediate. If I were Carrie, I would be all: "They like me. They really, really like me!" :)

I'm happy Carrie is branching out. This is good for her. I'd be interested in watching the videos sometime. Looks like a good show. I'm curious to see 'Fix You'.

Nelly Here is FOTF, Wasted and BA Thank you so much ! I loved 'Wasted' so much. That song has literally zero burn rate on me, because of it's eternal nostalgia to a time in my life, which was so personally relevant when I first heard it. It is a masterpiece and her live performance of it tonight was nothing short of spectacular, IMO. A Carrie has completely perfected 'Blown Away' live. It has very little burn on me (unlike 'Good Girl', which I still skip) and her emotional and vocal delivery on 'Blown Away' is A+. I am anxiously awaiting the music video like most everyone in this thread. I liked 'Fix You', but I don't think her tone works optimally for this song. Carrie is a spectacular story teller, but I think this song requires a softer delivery with a more open tone, which I think was missing from this performance. Nevertheless, I am quite grateful that Carrie chose to cover a song, more singer/songwriter-ish than her other covers, which happens to be in my top 10 songs from the past decade. I am quite disappointed that she did not perform 'See You Again' yet (ever). I am anxiously awaiting that performance. ETA: As I am going through many of the videos, I too realize that I am in need this show on DVD STAT !

I think "somber" is a more appropriate word for the album with bright spots in-between.

PLEASE, PLEASE let there be a live DVD of this concert! What an epic set list and it seems like Carrie killed it at the Royal Albert Hall. Thanks for all the videos and I hope more reviews pop up soon. :)

I know you won't, Fix You, Blown Away, JTTW/HGTA, were amazing. I'm glad Carrie took her show to Britain. It looks like they really appreciate great vocalists.

^ The earlier videos didn't do near enough justice to "Fix You" performance imo (though I do appreciate them very much!). It is AMAZING!! Her voice is just perfection <3

Love the album! So many great songs. My favourite track has to be "See You Again". I absolutely adore it The album is an easy A. One of my favourite of the year!

"Before He Cheats" #901. The album is at #23 (Standard) & #47 (Deluxe).

@ the Rock Band news. It's hilarious when non-rock bands/artists are added there.
