Carrie should do One Way Ticket with the full band and bells-whistles like she did on jimmy kimmel.

Acoustic and sitting down does not work for that song ad you are telling people to raise their hands in the air and dance have fun.

Acoustic is fine for those other new songs but i dont think it is the right approach for One WayTicket.

It is a big fun party song and it deserves the full band plus carrie needs to dance and sway a bit to get the crowd into tge island mood. It was great on kimmel.

Odd she would sit on a stool and do that song acoustic. That doesnt seem right for that song.

carriefanatic corrected her post -- she said One Way Ticket started w/her sitting -- Garrett went back to his drums, she got up and sang and danced all around the stage.

Sorry again for the confusion! But yes, I was very confused at first when she was sitting down but then she got up and was trying to get everybody to raise their hands, etc. Hopefully you can see in a video!

That's ok, don't worry!! Tee just didn't see the next post -- no worries at all!! Just keep posting!!

The girl with the videos just told me that as soon as she gets all of her vids uploaded, she'll let me know so I can post them here!! Woo Hoo!!

AWESOME!!! So tonight, Jason Aldean is performing. I am REALLY REALLY hoping that Carrie stuck around and will come out to sing Dont You Wanna Stay. I think i would die right then and there!

Haha...that would be cool!! Carrie may already be on her way to Arkansas for the Wal-Mart show -- not sure though.

^Tx for your amazing review by the way!!'
I appreciate you clarifying about One Way Ticket!

I guess in my mind i always visualized that song as a big fun crowd pleaser where everyone is raising their hands and swaying to fit the lyrics and beachy vibe.

I bet it will be Huge with the crowd once they know the song. It needs to be a single next summer.

Maybe it was just so hot, she had to sit a minute. Or, maybe she's experimenting with things for England.

Hey Everyone! This is my first time posting on here, but I just got back from the festival and thought I would try and remember all the songs she sang. She sang about 20 or so and was absolutely AMAZING!! This is not the exact order, but she opened with Good Girl and ended with Before He Cheats!

1. Good Girl
2. Flat on the Floor
3. Wasted
4. So Small
5. Two Black Cadillacs
6. All American Girl
7. Jesus Take the Wheel
8. Undo It
9. Cowboy Casanova
10. Just a Dream
11. Last Name
12. Cupids Got a Shotgun
13. Do You Think About Me
14. Nobody Ever Told You
15. Blown Away
16. One Way Ticket
17. Leave Love Alone
18. I Told You So
19. Temporary Home
20. Before He Cheats

I hope that's not her setlist for the tour coming up. I would prefer for Carrie to sing more new songs off her album rather than her old ones. I love her older songs, but more than half of her setlist if of old songs.

I keep looking on youtube for videos from this concert and I haven't found any yet... I'm dying to see them! Hope somebody videoed it!

[Jade_kt]

I agree. I hope she sings more off her BA album than old songs but that's just because I haven't heard the new songs live yet .

So much to describe!! I have vids of Do you think about me and Two black Cadillacs!! I will be posting my review for you guys as soon as I get these vids and pics uploaded!!

There is someone who has vids of all but 2 songs, but she was having trouble uploading them. Once she gets that figured out, she's going to let me know. I have a clip of Cupid from her and it sounds really good. Hopefully, she'll be able to get them uploaded soon.

where are you uploading those videos to? youtube??

yep, on youtube

[mlawlor]

Looking at the setlist, I could totally see Carrie doing just those songs with one or two more from Blown Away. I think the only other one from BA I'd add is See You Again.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!! I've followed this forever and have just gotten the nerve to post, but I love the family you guys have going on here! I was able to take some video on my phone and camera, but since it was dark and I was sitting pretty far away, any pictures came out blurry. I will try my best to see what I can do with the videos, but I really only recorded the songs and you can here everyone around me talking, how dare they right??!!! But oh my goodness, her vocals were SPOT on. She has definitely done all that cardio she was talking about in order to run around on stage! She also looked adorable! As you can all see in the pictures, the Bob Dillan shirt, a bright pink undershirt, green shorts and cowboy boots. LOTS OF LEGS! She ended up starting about 25 minutes late, we're still unsure why, but when the lights went out, the band started playing an instrumental combination of blown away and good girl, leaving it a mystery (well maybe just to me as everyone else didnt seem to care haha) as to what she would start with. The band then broke into Good Girl. She rocked it out. I am so proud at how much better she has gotten singing it while performing. Flat on the Floor and Wasted were next which were awesome flashbacks. It's amazing how her voice has gotten better, who knew that was even possible. But on these older songs, she sounds even better then she ever did, and I've seen her 3 times before yesterday. This was when she finally started talking and joking with us. Asked if we could turn on the air conditioning, said they were glad to be there and that they were glad we were there. She was so funny. Two Black Cadillacs came soon after that and it was SOO awesome. I hope someone has a video to it, because you all need to hear it. Ill just touch on the new songs since this is starting to be a novel. But, Leave Love Alone was great, she said its her favorite because it makes her want to dance. She ended up doing Nobody Ever Told You, Do You Think About Me, and One Way Ticket kind of sitting down with her band sitting around her. I thought it was an interesting approach. The one thing that worries me about the first two is that no one knows them yet, and they are kind of slower upbeat songs, so to me it seemed like she lost the audience. Even on One Way Ticket, because it wasn't the whole band, loud and in your face, nobody seemed into it. I guess that will just take people learning the songs! To me, they were awesome! I can't believe she does the whistling on One Way Ticket. Once people know it, the "raise your hands in the air tonight" part will be great! I told the kid sitting next to me that she had a carribean sounding song and when she was done with it, he said he was going to buy it! Blown away was also fantastic. Just like on the Billboard Awards, she sang the first distant blown away, and holy crap, its amazing in person. One thing I thought was funny, was that when she first sat down to sing some songs, she said she was sorry she didn't but The Night Before Life Goes On in the set list because it has LSU in it....Tomorrow she'll be rolling down I-10 Baton Rouge, LSU....Everyone went crazy but it was nice that she recognized it, does anyone remember if she's ever performed that live? I couldnt. Alright, I think that's it for now, I hope someone can post videos soon. Sorry for the long response but I look forward to posting more!!

Thanks so much for filling us in on the fun and welcome to CF.
