Well, first of all, she didn't play ANYTHING live. And seeing as I loved all her violin parts on the albums, I was really looking forward to seeing her play it. She played violin for literally less than thirty seconds on the intro to 'Liar' and then didn't pull it out again for the entire show.

During a couple of songs, she sat at the piano, but I'm not sure she actually played it. So much of the music was prerecorded, it was hard to tell. Even during an instrumental song ('Dominant'), Emilie left the stage entirely while a prerecorded version of the song played and her dancers danced to it.

Also, she played a bunch of new songs off 'Fight Like A Girl'. All of which were pretty horrible, emo bullshit. I had dragged my boyfriend along, and I was actually embarrassed that he had to listen to it.

I knew she had a big stage show, but I guess I expected it to be The Bloody Crumpets putting on the show, and Emilie playing the music for it. It turned out to be like a goth version of a Britney Spears concert. Annoying teenage fans, grown women acting like dumb sluts onstage, and no real music.

To her credit: She did SING live. And all the costumes were really cool. But that's all she's getting from me.

Me and Tiff* (You should know who that is, and if you don't, find out!) are going to see Blue October tomorrow at Nottingham Glee Club. It's an acoustic gig and will be AWESOME!!!
