I think we can all agree with that sterock85!
Yesterday certainly wasn't a disaster, but it is soooooo god darned frustrating that its always televised live performances where she becomes nervous. Maybe they shouldn't tell her they are filming it?
I think most people around here who have seen her live would agree she's out of this world level good. Honestly this is no bias on my part, I'm saying this as a music fan, when she's on top form she sounds not only as good, but better than the album. I've seen professional reviewers come out with that opinion too with no prompting from us fans!
Of course as none of that is going out on mainstream TV you still get this clutch of people that refuse to believe she's any good live, because to them TV is the only thing that matters in their dreary little world. Nothing else exists bar what the TV tells them.
Just for those sort of people, to answer their question why does she smoke onstage? Erm I think it might actually just to try and relax and ease those nerves. Not to shock and offend their dreary middle class world. Although that to me is a highly enjoyable byproduct of her doing that!
Anyway the Daily Mail have pulled their usual trick of putting together some nice shots of the show and I therefore feel unable not to link it. See she did smile too!
