PINK - P!nk is one of those few American artists who show themselves to the audience not only as stars, but also as real humans, or womans should I say.
Ease at establishing emotional, very natural connection through the on-stage chatting, telling simple stories, making fun of herself, responding to very specific situations on the floor in such a way that makes her almost immediately approachable by anyone who sees P!nk at that particular moment, and it is about tens of thousands of people with prevailing majority of women, we talkin' about, is so unique, lovely and so much respectful to us, usual concert goers.
Blessed with a powerful voice and talent to merge smoothly pop and rock music, P!nk centers her songs around important things in people's lives: relationship between a man and a woman, importance of a family, transgression from teenage years to adulthood, the role of women in society, tolerance, diversity, trust, love.
Surrounded by multi ethnic band of musicians, chorus singers, dancers, stunt crew, she herself performed several very difficult aerial acrobatic flips and stunts, including the most famous one: the fly-over above the gigantic football stadium while singing "So What (I am a Rock Star)".
"Get the Party Started", "Raise Your Glass", "Who Knew", "Just Like a Pill", "What about Us", "Turbulence", "Just Give Me a Reason", "F**kin' Perfect", "Heartbreaker"(cover of Pat Benatar' song), acoustic "Please Don't Leave Me", "Cover Me in Sunshine"(sang together with her daughter Willow Sage-Hart), "When I Get there", "I am here", "What's Up?"(remake of 4-Non Blondes' hit), "Try", "TRUSTFALL", "Never Gonna not Dance again", "So What", all these songs written by her, except for the covers, made the evening with P!nk exciting, energizing, heartfelt, like if the whole universe suddenly changed.
SHERYL CROW - Sheryl Crow is an artist who can successfully combine different music styles into one core of her own.
When blues and rock meet heartland country, and pop invades folklore, it could be only Sheryl. Her American soil laden imagination allows to create unique sound and music style that is catchy, easy to remember and accept.
Once heard makes anyone to look for something really interesting, creative, positive, bringing her voice and lyrics as a reward.
Song verses always relate to things important in life and affecting who we become: love, relationships, ability to cope with emotional breakdowns, optimistic approach to unknown.
Crow's powerful, sometimes subtle, sometimes very charismatic voice, expressed on stage her trust in goodness, simplicity and available within the reach happiness.
In her shorter program, as an opening act to the main event of the evening which was the P!nk concert, the native of Missouri, Sheryl Crow performed mainly her best-known songs: "If it Makes You Happy", "All I Wanna Do", "My Favorite Mistake", "Real Gone", "Leaving Las Vegas", "Strong Enough", "The First Cut is the Deepest"(Cat Steven's cover), "Steve McQueen", "Soak Up the Sun", "Everyday is a Winding Road"; which, as it was announced in a title of one of them, made us in the audience all happy
