*all that that implies*
Apparently I take requests now. I hope this satisfies everyone who has been on my case about me being procrastination-girl when it comes to writing.
(kidding...you know I love you all. :-)

*every eye will go to you
you do not have a doubt
'cause baby,
these appearances are what it's all about*

Michael is truly an incredible performer. He sings as if he's expressing each thought for the very first time. Reconnecting to his own experiences. Putting himself on the line. That passion fills the room, touching head and heart and leaves you hanging on every word. His voice is clear, round and strong. He hits notes that surprise you. You get lost in watching his fingers work his guitar. His arrangements are touching and thoughtfully underscore the relevance of the lyrics. He effortlessly switches from quiet reflection to fervent plea between verse, chorus and bridge. You find you're on the edge of your seat. Songs you've known forever take on a whole new meaning and you fall in love all over again. Suddenly every album is your favourite. When he leaves the stage all you can think is "that was the best show I have ever seen." And really, it was.
