I went tonight and I have to say, she is a truly fantastic performer and she’s so charismatic too.
BUT.
There’s only so many times I can go and see the same show. It’s the same songs, practically the same order, the same stuff all the time. If I have to hear Just Give Me A Reason or Just Like Fire again, I’ll vomit. ALSO, since when has I Am Here become a new staple for her?
Imagine if she brought out any of the following:
- Don’t Let Me Get Me
- Most Girls
- Leave Me Alone
- U + UR Hand
- God Is A DJ
- Stupid Girls
- There You Go
- Feel Good Time
Adding a couple of those into the set again would give it such a lift and a boost. I genuinely don’t get her reluctance to do any of those. Even do a medley of them! Anything to break up the mass of ballads in a row. I chose to have a toilet break during that First Aid Kit song because it’s just so dull.
On a positive note again though, highlights for me were Irrelevant, Trustfall (which hopefully becomes a staple), Runaway and - considering how much I don’t usually care for it - the new remix of What About Us.
