The Past Tours Extravaganza ~ AI Tour, Mini Tour, Independent Tour...

Wallpaper credit: Jay

Since we lost a lot of our old fantastic tour threads, I thought we could combine it all in one thread and reminisce about the greatness that is Kelly live on stage.

Throughout the years, Kelly's done many tours:

The American Idol Tour ~ 2002

The Mini Tour ~ 2003

The Independent Tour (With Clay Aiken) ~ 2003/2004-ish?

The Breakaway US Tour ~ 2005

The Hazel Eyes Tour ~ 2005

The Hazel Eyes WORLD Tour ~ 2006

It's unfortunate we lost all of our media (video/audio) and pictures from some of the other threads, but feel free to repost them all in here!

Here is a review from one of the shows in the UK that just surfaced.

Quote:

A terrifying experience
Reviewer: Mr. Thomas Thatcher "Tom Thatcher" (Salisbury, UK) - See all my reviews

Indeed it was, folks. Under some pressure, I took my teenaged daughter and her friend Georgina to see La Clarkson at the Hammersmith Apollo, known to us hard-bitten old fogies as the Hammersmith Odeon. To be surrounded by 5,000 howling teenagers, mainly girls, is an experience far more daunting than that experienced by those brave soldiers when attacked by the Zulu warriors at Rourkes Drift. Very different from Buddy Guy at the same venue, I tell thee (gag).

I made a real efort to acquaint myself with this CD in self-defence, and came to like it, but as a full-on blare from the undoubtedly amazing lung power of young Kelly. Therefore, I was as well prepared as possible for the concert. Unlike miserable old curmudgeons like Paul Morley in the Telegraph, who only seems to enjoy angst music such as Beth Orton and the dull Radiohead (and no doubt the Fall), I thought that there was much to like and even admire about the performance. Young K sang "Beautiful Disaster" completely unaccompanied and "Because of You", a power ballad, with just two acoustic guitars. Needless to say, the rather bovine teeagers looked at each other in baffled dismay with the unspoken comment "She's got it wrong", as it did not follow the CD note for note, and started, like, talking over, like, it. But the girl done well and sang with a lot more feeling than on the CD.

Otherwise, it was business as usual, but with a good solid band she rocked away well and certainly has a heck of a voice. As the CD suggests, she is far far better than her Pop Idol tag and is absolutely note perfect. It's a good CD and it was a good performance.

One thing - like so many girls with musical ability, Kelly can't dance and so she sort-of skips and cocks her legs up, much as the wonderful Sonja Kristina in Curved Air used to do. With her vocal ability, she would do well to follow Judie Tzuke's example and keep still a lot more. But the kids loved it, they really did, and the CD has been on non-stop since. A good effort, actually, and so much better than the shocking rubbish that we have produced in the UK lately. No names, no Babyshambles.

I knew she had toured a lot, but wow, that many times. I feel bad this coming tour is my first time. Oh well, it should be a great one!!

That's so true!

especially the 'cocks her legs up' part.

Ok, this had to be posted because it's hilarious. This is a video someone posted on youtube from one of the Hazel Eyes concerts I think. It's Kelly singing Beautiful Disaster and some guy randomly shouted "HAVE MY CHILDREN!!!" and Kelly just cracked up, barely able to finish the song.

Haha
