| It was quite a concert and agree with everything you said. A few particular highlights for me: I've always been blown away by I'll Be There, but perhaps because I was lucky enough to have been in the second row, this time left me shattered. Her ability to take a corny song like Climb Every Mountain and make it feel immediate and urgent is just incredible. And when she stepped away from the mike and sang Summertime... | |

| Her ability to take a corny song like Climb Every Mountain and make it feel immediate and urgent is just incredible. Her reprise of "Tomorrow" from the TV version of ANNIE is another example of her taking an overly-familiar song and making it fresh. |

| Her ability to take a corny song like Climb Every Mountain and make it feel immediate and urgent is just incredible. IMO, a song such as "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" is only corny when it's sung (or received) with that kind of attitude. It may be over-familiar, and like any over-familiar song, it's prone to parody (the Musical Of Musicals take on the song is genius, in that respect), but over-familiar doesn't have to be corny. For my sake, I don't find anything in that song to be corny at all. And likewise, if Audra simply trusted the truth in the lyric, like all singers *should*, that's all it needs to feel immediate and urgent. ;-) |
