Went to see Chantal Kreviazuk when I was in London last Tuesday. I hadn't realized what an accomplished pianist she is - very impressive. And of course there's that incredible voice, at times soaring and then suddenly throaty and rasping. There was no band, just her and a grand piano, although she did a few tunes on a synth and one on the guitar. The songs came across beautifully; "Surrounded", "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "Waiting" and "Far Away" were standouts for me. Another surprise was her sense of humour; before this I'd only seen her perform one song at the Junos a few years back, and there was no room for banter. On Tuesday she had some hilarious bits, from a Mommie Dearest moment to Planet TackySex. Great show, highly recommended.
