Great show; my first time seeing Tina Arena in concert was very much enjoyed. Three costume changes, a great mix of old hits and enjoyable newer songs - Tina knows how to deliver. Personal stories between the songs provided just the right level of personality and charm to help re-connect with older songs or build an attachment to a newer song.
My only two negatives 1) she's swapped up the emotion of her hit song 'Chains' to make it more empowering - which is great in theory and I'm sure she's just adding interest to a song that she's been performing for many years - but it changed the songs impact for me and detracted from my enjoyment of her major 'hit'. 2) she didn't offer us any indication of why she's been so popular in France for the past 20 years. I expected and hoped for a small set (2-4 songs) of her French language songs to showcase what Australia has 'overlooked' due to language barriers. Tina's voice sounds as every bit as good now as it did in her early career. Thoroughly enjoyed the show and would gladly see her again.
