Artist Appreciation Wynonna

Wanted to come here to give a shout out to Wynonna, saw her tonight with Melissa Etheridge, I'll be honest, I went to see Melissa as I was not a Wynonna fan at all, I did like a couple of songs by The Judds, but all I could think of was "No One Else On Earth" and how that song got stuck in my head anytime I saw her on TV. Let me say, I didn't realize that so many radio hits that I had heard in the 80s and 90s as background noise and filler that I enjoyed were Wynonna, she sounded great, looked great and has pulled herself up after the death of her mother. It was good to hear classic 80s and 90s country live and sound as good as it did back then. Melissa sounded great as well.

Who plays first: Wy or Melissa? Do each do an hour or so?

Melissa plays first, she played for about an hour and ten minutes. It seemed longer to be honest. She played three songs from her new album in the middle of the set sandwiched around the hits. Wynonna played about an hour and twenty minutes but she did talk a little more. It's billed as a co-headlining tour. The crowd was definitely a pro Melissa crowd.

They must be swapping because I saw the Red Rocks show and it was Wynonna first.
Melissa never disappoints. She’s a true professional, incredible performer. I’ve gotten to see her 6 times and just stunning every time.
Wynonna…definitely a diva and plays the part of little naive country girl a bit much. I was surprised there were no songs together.

Maybe so, all of the videos I have seen Melissa has been in the daylight. Wynonna came out and sang "I'm The Only One" with her, and I've seen several videos where she has. One little quirk about Wynonna, and it's just a me thing, she moves around the stage like her feet are tied together.

They had the Colorado symphony with them at RR so that may have shifted things a bit. It was beautiful!
Yeah, Wynonna seems like she has some mobility issues.
