I was very excited to see Brenda Lee as I had seen her as a child and it brought back so many memories to me. She is almost 70 so of course I did not expect her to look or sound like she did so many years before, but she came close. She still has that raspy voice but of course, like most artists, she cannot hit the notes she used to. However what was very annoying was that she sat down and talked and talked and talked. I enjoy a little banner or info from an artist, but she told all about how she got started, where her kids went to college, and on and on and on. Then when we knew every minute of her history, she started telling jokes. She did not tell one or two or three: she told numerous jokes. She sang very few songs and unlike some performers, she definitely has a huge catalog of number one hits. I was disappointed not in the quality of the show or her voice, but in the lack of actual singing.
If she is unable at her age to put on a show, then she should team up with someone else to share the show or she should stop touring altogether. I was happy I saw her, but really disappointed in what I did not hear.
