I also was not impressed with the choir. I think, for the most part, they added very little to the performances, only shining out really a few times throughout the night.

As far as Susie's Bohemian Rhapsody, as soon as it was over, I turned to hubby to comment that although she definitely did a fantastic job singing it (it's a *hard* song to sing), the band was easily 50 percent of the dynamic of that performance. That house band is so F-ing great and it was mostly they who made BR a powerhouse performance. Susie still can't move on stage and that is annoying -- like her little spin back around to the audience when they come out of the first instrumental before going into the "I see a little silhouhette of a man..." part -- it was such a lame spin with no power behind it, like a little girl doing a twirl......not like JD or Mig would have done it. Just hitting most of the notes doesn't sell it. She only really looked good at the end when she was between the two guitar players rocking it out -- once again, helped out by the antics of the band and the fact that the choir was jumping up and down, pumping their fists at that point --- a very cool visual.

Susie has a great voice but she is boring. I think she could sing INXS well, but can she FRONT the band? Two very different animals. They need a package deal.
