Just saw the Philly stop of the tour, and she was wonderful. Her voice is so impressive for 20+ songs.
The production value was so on point. They must have given their lighting designer an unlimited budget and let him run with it, because those lights were incredible. The rotating stage and the 3-part circular LED screens gave the whole show a lot of movement too. Country music so frequently lacks dancing or much stage movement, but her show's stage setup counteracted that very well. It was really a spectacle more than just her singing at the crowd.
As someone who doesn't really love Storyteller compared to her previous albums, the set list was amazing. It gave just enough of the current album while hitting all the previous songs I would have wanted to hear (except maybe "See You Again"). Finally, as incredible as she is live and as powerful as her voice is, "Heartbeat" is still lame.

On my way home from the Boston concert. Carrie's voice is just unreal. 10 years later and I'm still floored by her talent, she was pitch perfect!

^^ Amazing, especially when one thinks that she is in the 11th year of her career. I've stayed away from most YT tour videos so that I can fully enjoy my 3rd row seats in Chicago in May !

Random, but I had a dream the other night that "Choctaw County Affair" was the next single.

They coincided the #1 party with the final round of ACM voting. Anyway, "Chaser" would appear to be getting a UK release. The Ricky Ross episode is currently unavailable, but I got to looking and she played "Dirty Laundry" & "Chaser" during the broadcast. I'm assuming this means "Dirty Laundry" is getting a US release and "Chaser" internationally? Sounds good to me. I know it's unlikely, but I'd love for "Chaser" to be so well-received overseas that the label considered a US release.

Ugh, please God let that mean she will sing "Chaser" these next couple of weeks in Europe. Stoked about its release, maybe we'll get a video. :kii:

Praying that Typo is right. Dirty Laundry/Chaser as singles will be absolutely PERFECT. Such perfect choices that I'm finding this hard to believe... lol.

I'd still rather have Relapse than Chaser as a single, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Finally we're almost over the first two snoozer singles. Although I feel that 'Chaser' is too pop for country radio, it's my favourite on the record. 'Laundry' fits Carrie's earlier pop/country sound perfectly, and I agree with others that it do well on country radio, but I want 'Church Bells' released before this era is over. 'Relapse' fits well for HOT AC/Pop, but that's probably not ever happening.

'The Voice' just used "Renegade Runaway"... Sounded good.

Dirty Laundry / Chaser combo is perfect. Carrie is coming for international smash with Chaser. ![:smokingdiva:](http://i.imgur.com/t6wcd.jpg) Anyway, after DL/Chaser peaks, they can release CCA/Relapse combo, then CB/RR combo, and close the era with WINKIAW.

I'm all for releasing international singles but I'm confused why they waited 6 months into the album cycle to do so.

She's performing on The Jonathan Ross Show while over in Europe on Saturday. Fingers crossed for "Chaser"...
Also, she sold out the O2 for her headlining night in London. The other two shows with different headliners still have tickets available. No shade intended, but also...shade intended.

So, I was thinking: if they make/made a video for Chaser, do you think there's a chance we'd get a Pop or at least Hot AC push? I can see it doing well and it's a powerful performance so I think it would sell albums as its so different from the first two singles. Wishful thinking, I know, but it would make sense and seeing as Carrie has never done this type of release before it makes sense...

I'd loooooove it if Lauren Alaina opened the second half of the tour. I think summer will probably include a lot of random festival shows, and a full second leg will come in the fall. Also, it wouldn't shock me if we got word of a full second leg soon. Like, after her European leg. They've been doing press releases for how well this tour has been selling, so couple that with a possible "sold out European tour + 2 new single releases" announcement? I think a fall leg confirmation could definitely be on the horizon.

I'll be so annoyed if I had to endure The Swon Brothers and Easton Corbin when I could have had Lauren Alaina. >:(

Looks like HB will be #1 on the Country Airplay chart next week! When Keith Urban jumped her, I got worried haha. But she's still gaining and Keith is dropping. Her last #1 on the Billboard chart was Blown Away, which is kinda crazy when you think about it.

Her last #1 on the Billboard chart was Blown Away, which is kinda crazy when you think about it. Don't speak too soon. Randy Houser is "scheduled" to be #1 next while Carrie is forced to take a backseat... again. See: the huge million a day gains Randy has been getting and the CCUSA co-host schedule. Country radio is such bulls**t. And the way Sony is always so nice to let other labels/fellow artists pass (but only when it's Carrie involved)is such bulls**t. #1s are worthless with all these industry shenanigans. [/end grumpy grousing] On the bright side, YAY Chaser! Yet another reason why I love the UK so much. They get me. They really, really get me. I'm still so in love especially with the Chaser bridge.

If I don't get "Dirty Laundry" or "Church Bells" as singles... I'll hurt someone. "Mexico" needs it too.

I would also be surprised if she picked a song that's not currently in the tour set list as a single, and both of those tracks are in it. The other Storyteller tracks in the show sound much less like radio singles tbh. (Maybe "Renegade Runaway" but that's also like the fourth iteration of that exact type of song for her...)
