Sheryl Crow did a fine job. I appreciated the fact that she paid tribute to the
people at A&M who were responsible for her success by allowing her to grow as an
artist.
Shania Twain HAD to perform with her legs spread apart like that. If she closed her
legs, her outfit would have fallen to the floor. Her costume and the costumes her
band wore seemed the least natural of all the many variations of clothing I saw that
night. She still sounded like new country to me, even with the smoke bombs and
spandex. Must have been the steel guitar...
Lauryn Hill's reading of Psalm 40 was one of the best things anyone did, especially
the way she emphasized "He lifted me out of the slimy pit".
