Honestly there is very little exposure of anything country here
Australian country music isn't a very big industry here aside from Tamworth. The general public would probably know Keith Urban & thats about it American country artists aren't really known, even Carrie Underwood isn't known or has had big success here.

Also on the bill is Steel Panther (formerly known as Metal Skool) Hmmm I wonder if they'll duet again?
OK y'all. let's have a kiki. I was at the show tonight ,2nd row.
Cons:
1. The fray closed...booooooring
2. She kind of rushed through the set (less talking with the audience than usual).
3. The fan request. womp womp. She even admitted that she mainly picked it because she already knew the song. Although she said it was b/c she had a bad week with dog etc.
4. Don't you wanna stay. The screen didn't come down for Jason Aldean so their was no first verse. The guitarist guys jumped in at the chorus to finish it. At least she laughed about it after.
Pros:
1. She looked hawt
2. We are young. That honestly got the crowd pumped up and it sounded flawless.
3. She sounded on point all night. In general she went for all the big notes for every song. Even the high note in the bridge of SUBG. Big high notes for IFY and YLM. She was really giving a stronger vocal performance.
4. There was no stronger dance awkward thing.
5. I could tell that everyone was wanting more Kelly and less Fray. I heard others talking about how they didn't realize how much they loved Kelly etc.
Overall fun show. I really don't think The Fray should EVER be closing these shows though. Thoughts?

I agree with all of the above. The Fray was so boring we left halfway through their set.
She also hit a surprising number of high notes at my show, too, including the one in SUBG (though it might've been a lower key).
I just noticed that Kelly is liked by everyone: trashers, rockers, swaggers, hipsters I saw on twitter and tumblr like this:
This isn't my music and I'm not a woman but Stronger by Kelly Clarkson is AMAZING!

Specifically Mr. Know It All, that was the jam of the hipsters
And guys, we have to accept it, RCA didn't want to promote DS, that song could make miracles but we have a flop label, we don't have 4th single until the tour ends and now PEPSI and NFL capitalized Kelly to promote 'Get Up' so, the era is over until the re-release of 'Stronger Than Ever'
American country artists aren't really known, even Carrie Underwood isn't known or has had big success here.
