Stacie Orrico Visits Brisbane
4pm, September 25th, Stacie Orrico was in the Queen St Mall (Brisbane, Australia) promoting her new album. When I arrived Stacie was due to leave for a radio interview in a few minutes, and so no new people were allowed to join the line to buy an album and have it autographed. Fortunately, there were some very nice salespeople who snuck me past security and into the line. Thankyou, salespeople.

I tell you what, the photographs and filmclips don’t do Ms Orrico justice; she is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, and radiates warmth and friendliness. I was the last person in the line, and she commented on this with a sunny smile. I smiled back, and as she signed my album cover I remarked that I’d heard her on Rick Dees Weekly Top 40.
“I’ve been on a couple of times,” she agreed. “It was a while back, though.” I managed to take some pics of the signing using my cameraphone, along with dozens of other people.
So, what is the album itself like? The tracks on Beautiful Awakenings are all quite pleasant to listen to, and I would say of better quality than your average pop song, and Stacie is one of those rare people who not only has a nice voice but knows how to sing – I’m guessing she’s had formal vocal training at some point? Anyway, none of the tracks grabbed me the way Stuck and More to Life from her last album did, but all the same they were pretty good. In particular the first four tracks – So Simple, I’m not Missing You, Dream You, and Easy to Luv You – as well as the last one (Beautiful Awakenings) were worth listening to.

Stacie Orrico? Oh god…
Sorry I haven’t got back to you since thursday/friday, feeling kinda bad about it. Look out for something tonight or tomorrow. Hope you haven’t been spending all your time reading those books… :-)

Meeting larger-than-life people can be a lot of fun, especially when as you say, reality eclipses published photos and videos. It’s nice when you leave such an encounter with a higher opinion of the performer.
Guess I need to catch up on my listening; don’t think I’ve heard anything from the new album *or* the previous one.
:-P
