I was there too last night and for the first time ever I had front row seats, it was unbelievable she was so close. The security were pretty trusting as there was no barrier and I could have easily popped up onto the stage! I think before he cheats went down the best. Hope she realises she has good support over here and returns.

100% agree with that last statement. I would have died if she sang Starts With Goodbye or Lessons Learned. I think Some Hearts is by far her best album so it was sad to see it so underrepresented last night, to be expected though.

On the left side of the tech area (my side) a guy had set his camera up to record, and it slightly blocked our view. We asked if he was staying and someone from the RAH said the event organiser had arranged it and he was only supposed to be filming the first two songs. We complained, and the camera man's response was "Well, I was invited". We rightly pointed out that we'd paid, as did the RAH guy, and he did leave after his two songs.
We noticed on the right side there was about eight or so photographers all setting up, blocking the view of others. They weren't happy, and after the first song there was some pushing and shoving, and a couple of security guards grabbed two of them and threw them out. Then all the others left.
Luckily it was only during the first couple of songs, but there was no need for it. The RAH people didn't seem to know that they were going to be there so I don't know how the event organisers sorted it for them to be there.
As I said above I was at the front and was quite surprised there wasn't any 'press' photographers for the first 3 songs so now I know why!
There was one chap who arrived a few songs in and was scurrying back and forth for the rest of the gig though - luckily he stayed crouched down as there wasn't much space (which is why they had the photographers further back anyway)

Leave Love Alone
Cupid's Got A Shotgun

Just A Dream
I Know You Won't
Last Name

Cowboy Casonova
Quitter
Undo It
Temporary Home
Wasted
Jesus Take The Wheel (which merged into How Great Thou Art)
Before He Cheats
And she did a cover of Fix You by Coldplay
I think that's it. I may have missed a couple though?!
The show was amazing last night! Best live singer I have gone to see!
These are the best of my photos I took last night, though I did take way more than that!

So you were one of the people I could see taking photos of it! LOL! Were you one of the people having photos during the concert so Carrie was behind you??? LOL!
Her album is still in the top 10 as of last night. 
I'm so thrilled with that - I really didn't expect her to be anywhere near as successful. I don't care if she drops before Sunday now, because I think she's probably done enough to want to come back when her next album comes out! I hope so anyway, I'm sure as hell not missing her twice!!!
That set list looks awesome. I'm so sad to have not been there.

Thank you! What an amazing setlist! Some of my favourites on there... Undo It, Nobody Ever Told You, Cupid's Got A Shotgun. And what an amazing closer Blown Away would have made. Shame no All American Girl though
.
Blown Away by `Blown Away' on first listen (like what I did there?). It's such a progression on her previous work; a cohesive sound which still makes room for variation.

Was a great show... we were way back in the circle, with the spots in our eyes every few secs during some songs, but still loved it... i dont think the setlist coulda been any betta!... maybe 'change' and 'unapologize'... but only coz they're personal favourites...

Oh yes, I think we may of spotted you then! LOL!
I was at RAH too, great show, only thing I was a little dissappointed with was lack of a show programme on sale - I always buy a programme for every show I go to. Hopefully just like Brad Paisleys move from Shepherds Bush to the O2 Carrie will up her next visit to a full arena concert (with programmes)!

I didn't notice any of this, then again I think I took my eyes off Carrie about 3 times during the 90 minutes! I wanted to be at the front but actually it seems more of a problem, with obstructions and having to stand the whole time. I did notice a lot of people moving around right to the front, didn't look like people stuck to their seats - surprising considering the lack of security their seemed to be.

They're my personal favourites too, as well as Lessons Learned.
I have loved Carrie ever since she won idol so glad more people in the UK like her too didn't get to go to this gig but I have a feeling if ticket sales are good she might do an arena tour here afterall its a relatively untapped market for her. Lessons learned (although it should be learnt!!!!) is one of my fav songs, along with this time and that's where it is.

God, I hope you're right!!!
11 is far better than I had hoped, though it's a shame that she couldn't quite hold onto the top 10. I think if a few months ago someone was to say that BA would chart at #11 here, I'd have bitten your hand off though, so hopefully Carrie's team feels the same and she'll be back in 2014 when her next album is probably out!

I got the feeling from going to the album signing and the concert, that Carrie and her team did not expect such a warm welcome as they got. So I think it definitely bodes well for us that she will come back and do a full tour next time! I think this visit was more about testing the water, seeing can she pull off this visit to give us a tour next time.
