An off night for Crystal
by JK70 on 2/24/13Thunder Valley Casino Resort - LincolnRating: 2 out of 5She warned us at the beginning of the show that she had some problems with her voice, but would do the best she could. Unfortunately, this included having the piano player do a vocal, and other vocals by another orchestra member or her sister. Although her sister had a good voice, she was no Crystal or Loretta Lynn. Couldn't help thinking that her sore throat prompted some variance from what had been planned originally. There was also too much verbal bantering and poor jokes between songs. Her solos were done well, and her voice, which is still terrific, was maybe just a little "off." I saw her perform at a county fair about 15 years ago, and really enjoyed the show, which did not involve much (if any) delegation of the vocals to other singers. Hope she goes back to this kind of format.
