Shania Twain’s staples center concert hit by power outage
One of the world’s best-selling female artist in history, Shania Twain, performed tonight at Los Angeles Staples Center – and she did it for some time in the dark. “All bad things happen for a good reason”.
Twain, who is on a farewell tour, went on to finish the remainder of the show – just two more songs, including the fiery encore performance of “Man!” She sings her hit “Up!” while riding high over the audience in the saddle while a crane holds her up. The singer left the stage, then returned after a few minutes and restarted the tune – but her microphone malfunctioned, stopping her once again. She spent two years (2012-14) in Las Vegas with a successful residency dubbed “Shania: Still the One” at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, but she has said that after Rock This Country ends in her home country of Canada on October. 27, she will no longer tour (though there are rumors of extending this jaunt into 2016). Sure, her vocals weren’t as strong as they once were, but the 49-year-old Canadian still managed to put on a fairly enjoyable show for the 10,000 fans in attendance.
Backed by a superb seven-piece band, Twain delighted with the traditional country of “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?” – a cheating song that could’ve been plucked straight from a Merle Haggard or George Jones album – and then twisted right into “I Ain’t No Quitter”, “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)” and other fun numbers. Let’s get a selfie.
After killing a little bit more time by joking around with the crowd, Twain began “That Don’t Impress Me Much” for a third time – and made it through without any more issues.
Twain came back out wearing her sexiest and most revealing outfit of the night.
Though the spectacle was fantastic, it was a highlight when Twain simply sat on a stool with her guitar for a trio of softer tracks. “I Feel Like a Woman!”
