Is Shania Lip-synching?

Check the website for tour dates ;) .

This is a joke right? She sounds fabulous and her reviews are backing her as she tours city to city. I think she sounds maybe she sounds just a little different but definitely does not sound bad. She sounds fabulous and stop posting negative crap on this board. What happened to this site I have seen Shania bashed a lot over the years on this format and if you were a real fan you wouldn't be a complete idiot. I also think her next album will be amazing, Different but amazing.

I don't think she's lip syncing. I can definitely hear how different her voice sounds. There have been videos where I wasn't super impressed by her voice. But we had that problem with Vegas, too - the videos posted online weren't great quality but attendees (and reviews) said she sounded great. So maybe it's the video quality. Even if her voice has weakened, I think she puts on a good enough show to make up for it.

If Shania come to my country I'd go and buy tickets to SUPPORT her even if she will be lip-syncing the whole show. You don't have idea about me so shut the hell up. I heard this video, Shania's voice sounds awkward, I don't know what happened to her in one year. In 2014 she sounded way better.

It seems she put a lot of efforts on her vocal chords, so I think on times, she sings over a playback, that might help her to sound better. Still, the show look amazing loved the choice of songs. Hope we get to see a new album next year.

I have to agree with "Always"...she sounds horrible. The very reason I am a Shania Twain fan is that I have high standards. This forum is both about praising and critiquing a musical artist....she opens herself up to that by being a celebrity. Blindly following a performer isn't called being a "Fan", blindly praising someone regardless to performance is called "Hero Worship". If I want to drool over someone I can think of better and more deserving individuals than Shania Twain. I am a fan, so therefore, I will call it as I see it....and in this case I have heard more eloquent vocals from the local Veterans Legion on karaoke night. At one time she was very special. Truly a great artist. That time has clearly past.

I agree. Shania doesn't sound good at all. She is lucky she sings over a pre-recorded playback to back her up. She STRUGGLES through 95% of the concert.

Well she obviously isn't lip syncing. I saw her in Saskatoon & he sounded ok but not as good as usual. But the next night in Winnipeg she sounded way better & was talking to the audience alot more too. And not monotone & bored sounding when she did. Kind of had me thinking she might have been sick at the start of the tour. I haven't watched any videos from the Ontario shows yet though

alwaysafan · Senior Member

I heard some videos from Montreal, I do believe she is singing live but on the hard singing parts it seems playback is added to her voice. Nothing wrong about that knowing her vocal chords are still. . very ill.

jazz4free · Newbie

New member here. Hi.

Of course she is singing live. Otherwise, Shania would be defrauding paying customers which, I'm sure most here would agree, is completely contrary to her nature.

But audio is being recorded on audience members cell phones -- hardly ideal conditions. Pavarotti, on his best day, would have sounded sour.

zweib66 · Member

I'm seeing her later this month. I WISH I'd seen her on one of her two previous tours, but didn't. I've seen a few clips of her from this tour and do have to agree that it doesn't seem to be the Shania we all know and fell in love with. The severely bleached-blonde hair, the sunglasses, and the black outfits don't seem to "fit" her naturally-sweet persona, and her voice is obviously a little worse-for-wear from years of use and/or the condition she dealt with. She also seems to have been Vegas-ized a little as far as her interaction with the audience and overall demeanor... she just doesn't seem as genuine as she once did.

All that said, I still admire and respect her so much because of all that she's dealt with over the years. Beyond being a talented singer and a beautiful woman, she's an amazing person with a big heart who has overcome so much, and I feel like she absolutely deserves all the success and happiness that she's found. For that reason I want to attend on this, her "final" tour, to help in my small way to support and wish her well.

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

Okay time to relax people lol First of all you are watching the clips recorded on a cell phone lol so of course it won't even sound close to how it will sound live in concert. And i have to say that even on some of the phoned recorded clips she sound good to me. I guess some people always have to complain about something, just like her hair lol But we are all entitled to whine and have an opinion so feel free. I would advise you to wait to you actually see the concert in person because those who have and even the reviewers says she sounds good. And i sure as hell hope she sounds different live in person than on a recorded track lol that means she is singing live and each time she sings the song it may sound a tiny bit different. But seriously people are you really judging her on some clips you watch recorded from a cell phone? lol Chow for now.

I never thought Shania was the best live singer ever. She puts up a show, and it 's awesome, but her voice has never been 100% flawless. It wasn't flawless in Vegas, I don't think it's flawless on this tour. If I compare her with a vocalist like Alison Krauss... Shania just can't compete with Alison. Shania doesn't have the widest range in notes, nor does she have a very strong and powerful voice. I mean, the issues that she had a while ago didn't fall from the sky. She has to be careful with her voice.
But Shania has many other talents, and she makes up for it. You don't have to be the best singer in the world to put up a great show and performance.

I don't get the nagging about the voice. If you don't like it, don't watch the video's and don't go to the show. She's not a saint, she's not perfect. She won't be flawless in her sining, but who cares? "Nobody's perfect. What a way to wanna be!"

Completely agree. Shania has an interesting voice. But it never was a strong voice. She has alluded to that in many interviews. But she is savvy and she decided for better or worse to heavily rely on sex appeal and her looks all these years. There is no way she would have been as successful with her voice being not as strong as other singers like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, etc....if she was just a Plain Jane. Would never of happened. So she decided to use her face and body to lure people into her music. Smart move because it snagged Mutt and got her a highly successful career. Even all the talk this time around in articles is based around how she looks. Will never change with her. If you think Shania, the first thing you think of is her looks and body and the videos....then down the line her voice comes into play. She knows that and she used it to her advantage.

And I think a big reason why she is stopping touring now is because she is getting older and will very soon not be able to use her sex appeal on stage and then what will she be left with? When your career is highly based around a hot bod, there is limited shelf life on a touring career. Imagine if she came out onto the stage 30 pounds heavier and frumpy? That is why her outfits are so much more revealing this time around--making up for all the vocal limitations. That is why her new outfits include one where her ass is hanging out. She knows what people want from her....

Hey, Butters.

As an avid Shania fan, I've been observing here for a number of months, and there's something I've been wanting to get off my chest.

Each time I come away from a Shania performance, whether live or on CD or video, I do so feeling just a tiny bit better about stuff in general, with my spirits lifted and a little smile in my heart. I've heard that many others feel things much similar.

However, each time I finish reading one of your invariably vituperative posts, I feel like taking a shower. Informed, constructive criticism is one thing, I'm sure most artists, including Shania, welcome it. But there is little or nothing informed or constructive in your commentary. Rather, you seem interested only in taking bitchiness to new level.

Shania Twain exudes style and class. She owns any stage she chooses to grace with her presence. She has worked long and hard, often against enormous odds, to rise to the level of one of the most loved and admired people in the business. To be described as a desperate aging exhibitionist with a second class talent is insulting to both the woman herself and the folks who think better of her.

Sorry people for the rant. Hope I didn't upset you guys too much. It sure was one hell of a way to introduce myself.

I L-O-V-E Shania's voice on the years 1993-2000, she used to have a beautiful singing voice, in my opinion, also when singing live.
Her voice in "TIYD" sounds OK, way better than the (auto tune?) damn effects they put to her voice in "PFT" and "IANQ".
Butters, I agree with your points of view!

I have suspected for a while that Shania isn't singing much these days, be it rough and weak live vocals, playback and/or lipsync all together. Her voice began to give out in 2004 with the release of her greatest hits. Shania suggested that she failed to take care of her voice and this is the end result. Whether her carelessness came from poor vocal technique, not resting the voice after work, drinking (she loves wine) and other excesses that we may not be aware of is unclear and unknown. At this point it doesn't matter because she lost her most precious asset. Kind of reminds me of Cinderella after the ball ended.

It's easy to see this charade that she's been pulling to extend her 15 minutes. Her original intention was to retire with Mutt in Switzerland after the Up! tour. Things hit the fan when he divorced her a few years later. Now she's been stringing along the public with the mention of her troubles in every interview. But this isn't new. It's just that when she had a good voice, fresh songs and was new on the scene, she brought it home and the public was receptive to her hard knock life story.

The music business is not built on pity and sympathy, so clearly this is a calculated move. Apparently, Shania has not found a good team to collaborate with since Mutt and his people. She may never find anybody that good. But she's rich and can afford to turn down everyone and still perform her oldies. Most artists who divorce or otherwise separate from their collaborators must move on even if their new songs are not as good. It's happened with the legends of rock and pop. How do you think Paul McCartney felt when John Lennon was murdered in cold blood? I know that The Beatles were already broken up, but bands usually reunite. He had to move on and come to terms with life without his old partner. Her melodrama is best reserved for a drag queen. At least they're funny as hell!

Either way, she's still making a killing on work that's older than her son. Shania may have lost her voice and musical collaborator; but she never lost her business acumen.

Direct and to the point. Unfortunately, the facts concerning her career are supportive of your opinion. Just because fans like myself don't want to believe it, doesn't make it not true.

It doesn't make it true either, it is all a matter of opinion. While i agree with some points, i disagree with others .

Whether she is lip-synching or not I don't know. Lets look at the evidence.

FACT: Shania by her own admission has lip-synced in the past. (It's is in her own autobiography, she admitted that when her vocal performance was less than stellar during her UP! tour.) Why would she make something up that is detrimental to her image and reputation as a performer?

FACT: Shania has done absolutely nothing, except for "TODAY" since parting ways with Mutt. Shania never had a top 25 hit before Mutt. On the contrary, Mutt has gone on to produce music for Nickelback. I know Nickelback can be the brunt of many jokes, but there is no disputing their commercial success. Mutt was successful before Shania as well, we all know that here.

Whether or not Shania lip sync's is no importance to me. What is important to me is that she hasn't produced anything for years. The relationship I have with Shania is that of a business nature. She provides a product that I consume. She gets compensated. I have the same type of relationship with my auto mechanic, plumber, dentist, etc. I am willing to adjust my standards temporarily if I know that my plumber, mechanic, etc. is having personal issues. I am human. I have empathy. Where I start to get upset is when someone takes advantage of my empathy. IE: Like promising new music and it never materialising. I would much rather her tell us (her fans) the truth....such as " Yes it is true I have gone through some difficult times in my personal life, but that aside, I just don't have any new material to produce that would be to my fans standards."

jazz4free · Newbie

Kenaibull,

Your mechanic, plumber, dentist, etc. are trades people. Shania Twain is an artist. Personally, I have a far different relationship with Van Gogh and Picasso than I do with the guy who changes my oil, installs a new toilet or yanks a troublesome molar. Music, whether new or old (there are really only two kinds, as Duke Ellington once opined, good and bad), is a product only to the middlemen who merchandise it. To both the musician who creates it and the listener who experiences it, it is a thing sublime and beyond price.

Artists may be criticized legitimately, though always subjectively by we lesser beings, for the quality of art they have produced, not for what they may or may not produce. You may feel eager, even antsy, to hear something new and different from Shania, but she, like all creative folk, will reveal or not reveal the offspring of her muse in her own time and according to her own circumstance. Michelangelo's mentoring pope was incensed that work on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, in his opinion, was proceeding much too slowly, but Michelangelo completed his masterpiece only when he was satisfied with the work and had made his final magic brush stroke. We are all familiar with the concept of artistic temperament. And it occupies a space we must grant to all those who use the product of their imaginings to entertain, delight and hopefully enlighten us.

Meanwhile, Shania has presented us an impressive portfolio. And she continues to entertain and engage us to an extent that is the envy of all fledgling troubadours who have ever taken pen to paper, warbled a new note or or strummed a different chord on their guitar. I hardy think she needs or wishes for anyone's sympathy. By-the-way, empathy is something you feel for someone with whom you have shared personal experience, sympathy, the proper word for this situation, is what you feel for someone whom you pity. I hardly think Shania Twain is in need of that.

Nor is she deserving of being labeled something akin to a desperate exhibitionist because of the, modest by today's standards, costumes she chooses to wear onstage. Regarding this, as Shania herself has said, "There's a difference between sexy and sexual. If it's going to be sexy, I want it to be fun or feminine sexy – nothing coarse. There are some lines I've drawn for myself, my own standards of morality, as far as self-expression and being comfortable with my own body. If I had an office job, I wouldn't show up at work baring my midriff. But this is entertainment. And if people choose to look at me as a sex object, that's not going to make me go crawl into the corner. I don't want my body to be a distraction from my talent or my brain, but I refuse to play down the way I look in order to be taken seriously as an artist. I mean, women are sexy! Let's face it, women just are. Being feminine is a very sensual thing."

And thank you for that, ladies!

Dolly parton singing-amazingly good and she is at her 70! If I'm not wrong Shania did take vocal lessons many years ago, hence it's more disturbing the fact she didn't really take care of her voice (Drinking! and God knows what more!. .) I think she did good job on "Endless love", I'd be more than happy if she will have that voice in her new album.
I won't stop missing that voice Shania used to have.

First of all I was Shania's harshest critic on here when she kept making excuses for not making music and used sympathy over and over for reasons she can't make music. I am not going to go into that again. I decided to move on and not be negative anymore because she can do what she wants and I don't know what is in her mind. Maybe she is just that weak of a person and has no confidence at all once she lost Mutt. So I won't be harsh on her anymore on her reasons for not making music. I just moved on and when new music comes out I will listen and see if I like it. Secondly she sure as hell is not lip syncing in her concerts this year lol. You can tell so easily she is singing live. It sounds nothing like the recorded versions and each song sounds different each tme she sings it on this tour. Some times her voice is a bit shaky but so she is human and we can say that about every singer. Shania also was never a great singer, she was more of a stylist singer who is a great entertainer.

I agree with you about the probability of her NOT lip synching on this tour. If she is, she had better fire her sound crew! Here is a question for you....would you rather hear a Shania that is vocally "crippled", or would you rather hear her sing karaoke to Shania Twain? Of course you will be paying for it. That's the problem. If you are her, what do you do? You want the fans to get a great experience, and whatever your decision is I am sure a significant number of people would pick the opposite. I can see how she is in a no win situation here.

I think there is a much more ominous and underlying issue with Shania putting out new music. We all know Mutt played a role in her success; but lets put ourselves in Shania's "shoes" for a moment. She has an ego (all humans do) and wants to be known for being a great artist. If she doesn't produce anything new, then we will always question what role Mutt played upon her success. In the present, it's at least debateable. However, if she does produce an album and it fails miserably, then all the questions about how she came to fame will resurface. The haters and trolls will bellow out how she was just a "casting couch princess who strategically slept her way to making connections within the industry." I truly believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle....and it doesn't matter if she did...because if she was not talented she could have been the Jenna Jameson of country music but no one would purchase her music or attend her concerts.

At this point I don't see Shania having a failure with selling a new album, she has a strong fan base who will run to buy any new material she make. She wrote a lot of songs with Mutt, I have no doubt of her great writing skills.
But still, it's quite obvious she is scared to death of having a failure, and it's so big she haven't released a new album over a decade! That's so pity she doesn't believe in herself anymore.

I have the same type of relationship with my auto mechanic, plumber, dentist, etc. I am willing to adjust my standards temporarily if I know that my plumber, mechanic, etc. is having personal issues. I am human. I have empathy. Where I start to get upset is when someone takes advantage of my empathy. IE: Like promising new music and it never materialising. I would much rather her tell us (her fans) the truth....such as " Yes it is true I have gone through some difficult times in my personal life, but that aside, I just don't have any new material to produce that would be to my fans standards."

First of all I was Shania's harshest critic on here when she kept making excuses for not making music and used sympathy over and over for reasons she can't make music. I am not going to go into that again. I decided to move on and not be negative anymore because she can do what she wants and I don't know what is in her mind. Maybe she is just that weak of a person and has no confidence at all once she lost Mutt. So I won't be harsh on her anymore on her reasons for not making music. I just moved on and when new music comes out I will listen and see if I like it. Secondly she sure as hell is not lip syncing in her concerts this year lol. You can tell so easily she is singing live. It sounds nothing like the recorded versions and each song sounds different each tme she sings it on this tour. Some times her voice is a bit shaky but so she is human and we can say that about every singer. Shania also was never a great singer, she was more of a stylist singer who is a great entertainer.
I agree with you about the probability of her NOT lip synching on this tour. If she is, she had better fire her sound crew! Here is a question for you....would you rather hear a Shania that is vocally "crippled", or would you rather hear her sing karaoke to Shania Twain? Of course you will be paying for it. That's the problem. If you are her, what do you do? You want the fans to get a great experience, and whatever your decision is I am sure a significant number of people would pick the opposite. I can see how she is in a no win situation here.
I think there is a much more ominous and underlying issue with Shania putting out new music. We all know Mutt played a role in her success; but lets put ourselves in Shania's "shoes" for a moment. She has an ego (all humans do) and wants to be known for being a great artist. If she doesn't produce anything new, then we will always question what role Mutt played upon her success. In the present, it's at least debateable. However, if she does produce an album and it fails miserably, then all the questions about how she came to fame will resurface. The haters and trolls will bellow out how she was just a "casting couch princess who strategically slept her way to making connections within the industry." I truly believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle....and it doesn't matter if she did...because if she was not talented she could have been the Jenna Jameson of country music but no one would purchase her music or attend her concerts.

First of all Shania's voice is not vocally crippled lol I have no idea why some are even saying that on this board. Go see her live and listen and not from some clip video off a poor quality phone sound. Most of the reviews have said she sounds good and so have the fans who have actually seen her in person. Of course she won't sound perfect lol it is live and i would not want her to sound perfect, nobody does. Why is it that the women entertainers are always trashed and over analyzed for their voice. Have you ever heard the rolling stones or paul Maccartney or Bruce Springsteen or so many other male acts sing live? They are never that great sounding but they get a pass because they are men lol Shania sounds just fine and her voice is not vocally crippled so i have no idea why anyone here can say that from listening to a stupid phone clip. And bottom line is Shania is an entertainer and stylist singer, She is not a Celine Dion who just belts out songs. Shania's songs are fun and she knows how to please a crowd. And by the sounds of all the people who have attended her concert this year she put on an amazing show. As for her having an ego and wanting to prove she can do an album without Mutt? Well i said all along that any great artist would want to prove herself and not sit and feel sorry for herself. I am not in her mind so i don't know her thoughts. I did lose respect for her because she was so weak and kept feeling sorry for herself so long and used that as an excuse for years to not make music while strong people pick themselves up and move on and create music. My only guess is that Shania just never cared about proving anything and she doesn't care about her legacy or what people say. The other reason could be is that she was just too weak and not the artist we thought she was. She spent so much time feeling sorry herself but it is her life and she has a right to make music on her own time. Like i said i will wait till the new music comes out and see if it was worth the wait or not. Truth is no music is worth waiting over 10 years for lol She wasted so many years of her prime not recording or making music or doing something she claims she has a passion for. Anyway those are just my thoughts and i moved on and gave Shania a break and am not negative anymore. I hope her new music does well.

My sister and I just saw her for the first time in Atlanta. She is definitely NOT lip syncing. She may be using some back up tracks but she's definitely singing. That being said, she was definitely not the Shania I remember before she backed out of the spotlight 12 years ago. I always remember her connecting with the crowds so well and that just didn't happen when we saw her perform. It was almost like she was going through the motions. I didn't feel that she was truly enjoying herself. Don't get me wrong, it seemed as though she was trying, but it just wasn't happening. Both my sister and I felt that it seemed like she wasn't really there. There were several noticeable times when she wasn't in sync with the band, her voice would cut out some times or the music would be louder than her and when she did address the audience, it was as if she wasn't really sure of what to say. It was a GREAT show as far as the production goes and we even talked about how it felt like a mini version of her Vegas show. I definitely enjoyed that she's using older songs as well as newer ones.
Overall, I feel like it was money well spent but we were kinda sad that it didn't end up being the Shania we remembered. Not sure what's going on... And please don't misunderstand me, I love her just as much as I always have and I really admire and respect her for everything she's been through and how she's handled it. Just the fact that she's getting back up on stage after the trouble she's had with her voice makes her a hero in my book. She's such an awesome example of what it means to never give up and keep trying even when life tries to knock you down. I just wanted to be honest about what I thought of the concert itself. Something was definitely off...

Interesting since fans who have seen her on this tour have mentioned how amazing Shania was and the show. I think she is having much more fun on this tour than the UP tour and it shows. The old Shania is still there but she is just having more fun and yes she is connecting with the audience lol The second show in Edmonton here she was amazing and connected very well with everyone and showed what a great entertainer she is.

I was at the Atlanta concert too and I totally agree with everything you said. Great show, great production, but something just wasn't right with Shania. I give her all the credit in the world though. She was definitely giving it her all. It just seemed she was struggling or something. Did you hear her "Betty Boop/Minnie Mouse" voice as I did?

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

I think the problem is those who consider themselves her die hard fans and are on her fan sites are the most critical. The general fan who went to see her were blown away from her performance. I was at the second show in Edmonton and nothing at all was missing, and she was better than ever. Oh and I did not hear this Betty Boop voice that you hear Tommy lol. Much better than her Up tour in my opinion.

I'm sure our seats mattered as well. We had great seats so we could see her eyes, expressions, everything. Sitting farthere away, one might not have noticed it as much. I'm also a details person so I notice the little things. However, I didn't catch the Betty Boop thing! Lol... Some people were saying it's the worst concert they'd ever been to and I definitely wouldn't go that far! It wasn't bad, just different. I think that's why those of us who are diehard fans notice it the most because we do know what she used to be like. Probably our mistake going in to it with specific expectations instead of just enjoying the ride biggrin Also, who are to think an artist can't change. I mean, it has been how many years since she started? She's a different person than she was then. She's been through life experiences that some of us wouldn't even begin to relate to. And I feel like that's part of what being an artist is all about. Being able to express yourself however you wish to!

HumbleKevy · Senior Member

So you think you are the only one sitting close to the stage and can see her expressions? i did too and have been a fan since 1993 and she did not seem different at all. People were saying it was the worst concert they have been to? tell me all those people who said that lol all you have to go is see all the great comments by anyone who saw the concert, 99 percent are positive and far outweigh some negatives. Heck even this time around her reviews have been great by critics. Her up tour got many music critics bashing her. We are all entitled to an opinion but you are in the vast minority if you check the thousands of great comments on facebook and ticketmaster. i used to be critical of Shania for years because of her lack of music and doing nothing and making excuses and playing on fans for sympathy. But i will give her credit for going out there and putting on a great show and having fun out there. Too many fans who are die hards think they know what Shania thinks and feels by looking at her lol None of us knows Shania that well and that is the way it should be. We are just there to enjoy her music. I am sure Shania is having a blast with her tour and all the great responses by 99 percent of fans.

I was specifically referring to the Atlanta show. Is that the one you went to? I can't speak for the other cities she's played. I was speaking about the one that I attended only. Maybe she didn't feel well that night. I don't know, I was just putting my experience out there and yes, I am entitled to my opinion. I never claimed to know what she thinks and feels but there are these things called facial expressions that are pretty good at giving away what we're feeling a good part of the time. If it was just the Atlanta show, then I'm really sorry that I missed the other shows. However, I stick by what I perceived of the show I saw. Here are a few of those comments that I read:

@Sharebear77 I am no hater of Shania. It was my idea to buy tickets. However, that was one of the worst shows I have ever attended. She looked terrible, and for most of the show you had no idea how she sounded, because her voice was drowned out by the band. It was so loud that I was wondering if Angus Young would pop out and they would break into an AC/DC song. Horrible horrible show, and not worthy of any discussion.

Your description was accurate, however. It was awesome (correct spelling). Awesomely bad, and not worth the money. Most disappointing concert I have ever attended, and one of the 10 worst I have ever seen, and in 50 years I have seen some real dogs. It appears that Las Vegas has really ruined her. If that is the best she can do, then she needs to bid farewell.

I totally disagree with your views of the show and of Shania. I thought when she left the Vegas stage, she would have left the glitz and glamor behind, and we would be treated one last chance to hear her sing her classics, but...

The music was entirely too loud, especially the pounding drum beat that managed to drown out her voice for the majority of the night. Her music has never been compared to Pink Floyd, but with all the lasers, lights, pyro, etc, one would think Roger Waters was in the building.

As far as her look, way too much makeup (even my wife agreed ), causing a pale, pasty look. Her wardrobe had to come from Fredrick's of Hollywood, and got skimpier and skimpier as the show went on. When she came out with the last change, I was beginning to wonder if she was the reincarnation of Wendy O. Williams.

I have attended concerts in Atlanta for some 50 years, and this was one of the 10 worst I have ever seen. A total waste of money and my time. The Shania Twain I liked was not the same person that was on stage last night.

As far as the opening act, this was the 2nd time I have had to sit through Gavin DeGraw (opened for Billy Joel earlier this year), and I hope it is the last time I have to sit through him. Boring, Boring, and maybe even louder than Shania, if that was possible.

Shania can no longer move it seems since she barely danced and road around the arena not once BUT twice, once on a pope mobile like gadget and the second time on a mechanical bull on wheels. Very hokey! She almost sounded impaired when she spoke and ran her fingers through her newly blonde hair as she spoke and sometimes sounded confused or slurred, I use to love her and couldn't wait to see her! Imagine how disappointed I was. We actually left early which I never do! Poor choice for the opening act also!

We were so excited for this concert, even the oddly paired Gavin DeGraw and Shania Twain. Now, I wish we wouldn't have bought tickets. This was by far the worst concert I have ever been to. We had to wonder if the people behind the soundboard were asleep? We could hear music but couldn't understand the words being sung by either artist - they were all mumbled together. There were times we could understand Shania but they were few and far between. This continued for the whole concert. Shania also didn't look like herself - it was as if Cher, Britney Spears and a Transgender dressed her. Also, what was up with her dark roots and blonde hair and dark eyes? I hate to pick on her as we love her but we just weren't fans of the styling of this concert. I am giving it 2 stars only bc Shania did rock it, we just couldn't hear it all when she did. Also, we would have preferred less outfit changes and breaks and more music.

Not the same Shania

I saw Shania Twain, twice the last time she was on tour. Sweatpants, sweatshirts, a rocking band and her incredible voice. A fantastic show. This time: her hair is dyed blond, the outfits reminded me of Tina Turner and Lady Gaga, plenty of Las Vegas theatrics: laser lights, big moving murals, pyrotechnics, a saddle that she rides over the audience, her popemobile that they push her around in for one number. The incredible voice is gone. It was a disappointment. Too much flash trying to cover up the lack of substance.

um yea anyone can find and post a few negative comments of any show. But it would take too much time and space to post all of the great comments.Seriously now, the comments you post are from very few people compared to the thousands who post good comments. And you do realize that some of those over the top negative comments are from people who hate Shania and never even went to the show. They are called trolls who pretend they are Shania fans to bash her. These people make over the top negative comments yet claiming to be Shania fans and they go on fan sites and face book and other places to bash her. AS for your opinion, i respect it but i disagree with it like the majority of people who went to her tour this year. Oops forget to say that your comments were not over the top and your opinion and observation as a fan of her show in Atlanta. I just disagree with your comments about her not being all there and not happy or connecting with fans. Have a nice day

How can you (or anyone else) disagree with her opinion? You weren't at the Atlanta show. LOL. I was and I absolutely understand what she's talking about. The production was the highlight of the concert, NOT Shania.

Well i saw opinions of people at the Atlanta show on Facebook and other places and they totally disagree with her and you Tommy. There were thousands at the Atlanta show and many said Shania was amazing. And i could understand what they mean because Shania put on a great show in Edmonton. She was the highlight of the night, Was just reading your comments Tommy right after the concert and you said ,"Shania and her band blew the roof off philips arena,what a night"

Right, meaning it was a fun and entertaining concert as a whole. But again, Shania was not the highlight and something just was just not right her.

Thank you, Tommy!! I'm glad someone understands what I'm trying to say. The whole reason I went looking for what other people thought was because I did think that maybe my sister and I were just imagining it. That's how I found that there were a bunch of other people who felt the same way! Everyone is definitely entitled to their opinion and I'm sure there were many there that evening that disagreed with us. And that's ok. I didn't come on here to try and convince anyone that their opinion is wrong. I simply shared the experience I had! You captured it exactly. It was a great show as a whole, extremely entertaining. Something just wasn't right though I'm still not sorry that I spent the money and I'd probably do it again if she returned here.

I know you're a new member here but maybe you've been an observer for a while. If so, you probably know it's a recurring theme when someone gives an opinion and it turns into "No! You're wrong...." Don't let it get to you. biggrin I'd definitely go to Shania's concert again too if she ever came back here.

Such is the case with many forums and social media in general... Gotta just let it roll off the back biggrin
