Pop Trash Addicts: Carrie Underwood - Live At The Palais

Maybe the less elaborate set is due to the "small" venue. I would imagine that these venues are not big enough to have a suspended truck circle around. I do love the acoustic set that has been incorporated.

I think its alot simpler than that. It doesnt have anything to do with the venue, rather they dont have a stage setup to setup for these shows. Im sure the "Blown Away" tour stage setup is in the works as we speak. Having said that, i assume if they did have a huge setup it would not be worth taking it down due to the small venues and the cost of taking it down there.

She absolutely slayed me in this performance. It's amazing to see how far she has came.

At first I thought mostly all the venues in AUS, was going to be semi personal ( smaller than arena ) type of events due to what I have been seeing, but I guess not!

Which brings me to my next question, do you think the US leg will have costume changes & a switched up stage ??? hmm.

Ask me that in octber I'm headng out to Sydney in the morning but i'll be in States on hoildays then so im catching a Carrie Concert while im other there so ill be able to compare the 2

Great success of Carrie's Australia and United Kingdom Live Concert Tour! Awsome!

I wish some of the North American reviewers would take a lesson from these two Australian reviewers on how to write a music review - sincere, honest, a lot of thought put into them, and an interesting read that actually reviews the show and the singer- no cleverly word crafted negatives or cynicism thrown in here and there /

Well the July 2 Sydney show has sold out for the third time (each time it sold out more seats opened UP) and July 3rd show has 8 seats left in one area and just the back section has some seats available. Woo hoo

Thank you for that post Ann. Today is Sunday. I needed that.

Well if there is one thing that the tour to the UK and Australia has proven, it is that despite Carrie's fears she can fill overseas venues up with fans eager to see her live. Perhaps in the future we will see her expand in to other places in the UK and Australia and try out other countries. It seems like country artists tour Nordic countries so perhaps she can look in to that.

Great great review. I am so happy for Carrie. Like everybody else I hope she tours other countries later on.

As the show wore on, her initial awkwardness became increasingly endearing and she had definitely loosened up by the time she returned to material from her new album

I love this part.

There is no fancy set, back-up dancers, or elaborate costume changes, just Underwood, her band and her voice. And that's all she really needs as is evident by the cheers at the end of each song.

I like this.

Is this the Christian group, Hillsong? If so, are they Australian?
Love the line, about Carrie's concert being infinitely better than Gaga's!!!

Hillsong has a conference in Sydney this week so I have to think they are back in Sydney already since her concert is there tomorrow.

I think the opening paragraph of this review says it all and one would think if Carrie read it, she'd be extremely happy. I've lost count of the interviews I've heard or read where Carrie has said what it boils down to for her is that she just LOVES to sing. It makes my heart happy for her that some critics in the world have witnessed this fact and they're brave enough to write about it in a review.

This overseas tour has proven what we all knew all along, Carrie doesn't need any gimmicks or tricks or stunts to put on a GREAT show. All she really needs is her charming, down to earth self and her cute little laugh and her AMAZING voice.
