Tommy's #1 SHANIA TWAIN SuperSite Message Board

The visual and entertainment elements are great. But it’s like they neglected the vocal/sound elements. I hope they recognize the issues and fix them.

Here is full concert in Spokane

The Up/Come on Over medley sounds really bad as well. Sounded much better when she did it at Tortuga.

Something is very wrong with Waiter Bring Me Water.

 Thank you!!! 

I LOVE "Inhale Exhale Air" live. Great energy. 

Just watched the full concert of that registration that was posted above and watched some other clips of the two shows so far. My findings:

Outfits 

- amazing she brought the original outfits out so far of TDIMM and MIFLAW

- love that she changes outfits during the run of the tour - not as many changes during the show as you’d expect at a Shania show (only 2 per show) 

- using wigs is a fun element for her. But the blonde wig can stay in the tour bus for me personally (it’s just not Shania for some people)

Setlist 

-For me the biggest improvement since her comeback in 2012: most of her tours had 90% overlap in setlist but she’s mixing things up now and brings fan favourites that weren’t performed in a while 

- good combination between new and old material 

- I miss LATGG 

Band 

- Good energy 

- Great to always have Corey at her side ❤️ 

- The backing vocalists are way too loud + not mixed well with either the live feed or prerecorded vocals 

Show production/design 

- the back drops and video elements fit the style that her QoM promotion has been in and look well produced 

- big fan of the light production of this show! 

- there are not many show elements. She showed during the Rock this Country Tour that dancers are not needed, but than she brought pyro’s, flames, the flying riding bull to name a few things + she had a catwalk to get into the room. During the Now Tour she flew on a guitar case. The only extra show element during this tour is the neon cart going through the audience right at the beginning. 

- The natural flow of the show is missing. There are a lot of breaks between songs (where she tells an anecdote for instance). It takes away energy of the show 

- No catwalk or b-stage: a bit of a pity 

Backing tracks/vocals 

- Great to have new prerecorded backing tracks for some songs. FTMO and DBS are the best re-recorded tracks in my opinion 

- A big improvement from the NOW tour is to have her singing some (complete) songs live again. Inhale/Exhale Air is also quite a crowd pleaser from what I’ve seen. 

- Very weird to have new backing tracks where she sings a very low harmony and the new backing vocal singing her parts with an autotune effect that makes you listen twice to see if it’s her voice or his. Quite noticable during WUD, IGGG, Any man of Mine, TDIMM, MIFLAW….. 

- MIFLAW is a mess: it’s a combination of backing tracks of different era’s + the ending is the cd version, which sounds tacky 😆 

General 

- Great to see how many shows have sold out so far! It sold better than the NOW tour in presales 

- In the past there was more audience interaction during and in between songs. Hope we’ll see more of that during this run 

Some less positive feedback is all meant out of love for her as a performer and producer of the show and mainly as a professional. I wish her nothing but the best, but think this production thus far is personally my least favourite since her comeback.

Maybe Eja will make sure she knows how bad the sound is.

Really cringe that she didn't sing the second or third choruses of You're Still the One and just held the mic in her hand for the audience to sing it while occasionally singing a random "oh".

Her timing also was completely off, like she expected the song to end but it kept going.

I feel so embarrassed for her. Fans deserve better.

Also the guitar is all for show in YSTO. She is putting her fingers to play the chords but she doesn't have a capo on the guitar which means she would be playing in the wrong key. It's probably not connected to the sound system. This version is in the key of C which is the same key that she sang it in for the Let's Go shows and with Harry Styles. Notice the capo position in the pictures.

Is she brushing her hair in this photo?

I know you guys are incredibly unhappy about this tour but my god that is still such a beautiful song that I got lost in the video regardless. Thanks for posting. 

Number One _ Live in Seattle. I find it very successful. You saw her lying on the ground towards the end.

 I’m not unhappy with the tour. I just want them to improve the sound/vocals. If that means lip syncing, that’s ok. Shania’s vocal issues aren’t her fault and she’s done everything she possibly can to improve them. So, I have no issue with lip syncing if needed. I’m going to two concerts and don’t care at all if she does (and, as of now, prefer she does). 

Shania still has the ability to sing well, but, unfortunately, it’s not consistent enough to be able to get through an entire concert. 

Maybe it sounds better in person than in the videos …?

No wig tonight!

I am SO EXCITED for Saturday night here in Edmonton!

Some more here:

IGGG still sounds a bit funky, but it's A LOT better. Her "live" voice tonight is really good - best it's been in a while. Not as deep sounding as the other day and she's really on pitch and doesn't sound like she's struggling for air like she does sometimes.

She wore her MIFLAW outfit again tonight in Vancouver. 

The backing track still sounded strange on MIFLAW but I think now you can hear Shania under Paul Michael. They have his mic too loud here and I don't know if he's supposed to be singing the same part as her. That being said, this show was much improved, and I think give it a few more shows and all the kinks will be worked out.

Definitely an improvement. The difference between live parts and playback is less obvious and she looks so much better with dark hair.

I love how each night has a different look. Makes it a surprise for the fans!

Yellow outfit with long, brown wig tonight for Vancouver's second concert.
