OT: AI performances

I can't believe I don't see any AI threads yet! I'll start one.
WOW! Jeff Beck and Kelly Clarkson! WOW! WOW! WOW! Kelly is and always will be a favorite idol for me. I SWEAR - when I heard her audition I KNEW she was going to win it (unlike my gal Perla who BOMBED - thanks, amiga!).
Beck was just INCREDIBLE. So cool to hear that tone of his. With Kelly I was reminded of how Neal and Steve would "duet" - guitar and voice. Kelly is bigger - fatter than ever - but she carries it well. She's more beautiful in my eyes. Her voice is so dynamic. Beyond AI I don't know much about her. Is she a Janis Joplin fan? I've always heard Janis in her but last night it was like Janis was channeling through her. It was spooky. She can be smooth and gentile in one breath and a emoting powerhouse in the next. She should do a Joplin tribute album with Beck.
Annie Lennox was also outstanding. She just WAILS. Her's was the best version of Bridge Over Troubled Water I've ever heard.
Josh G. did a fine job with the African children's choir. Very sweet. ALl of thos elittle, toothless faces were adorable.
Rascal Flatts (two T's?) didn't do much for me. I liked their song but I wasn't captured.
Earth, Wind, and Fire "opened" the show with a cool medley. Nice job! They broke the ice and set the proper tone for the show.
The Celine D. and Elvis duet was super cool! Very, very fun and inventive!
Well, that's my take. It's the best AI show ever in my book. I'm glad I took the time to watch it.
