They don't have Allison's album because they are apparently "behind in receiving music shipments by a week or two". They didn't even have Allison's album in their system. I didn't see Adam's album there either, but I didn't look too much, as I'm not a fan. Target, which is on the same street, had it. So I bought my copy there. But I can't help but be a bit miffed that they don't even have Allison in their system at Walmart yet. I hope my local walmart is the only one with that problem and that this won't affect her sales. :( Well, my local walmart fails.

And yeah, I was having way too much fun grinning from ear to ear, singing along and dancing in my chair (thank god for having a private office) to notice anything but a remarkable voice and energy that lights up the sky. Woo! ETA: Wait, what? People are seriously thinking that was a bad performance? Ahahaha! I've seen many, many live performances in my day and this was nowhere near bad. In fact, it was damn good, considering the circumstances. Who cares about a couple barely noticeable off pitch notes? Only those who don't understand anything about live performance or what rock (okay, in this case pop, but she *will* rock, given the chance) music is all about. That was fantastic!

Sizzling energy, snappy banter, Disney level cute sparkly girl band (Female drummer!!!), healthy-not-crazy-skinny high energy smiling spunky great singer with teen envy cascade of soft red hair, yet she's still got that rocker growl. It was a giantly successful kick-off. Too bad kids were in school and didn't see it. Hope the internet replay happens. Caught this performance -- and glad I did -- by chance. (Just turned on TV for Ellen, and was going to put DVR on pause). Pitch? Who cares. Didn't notice because was so happy to hear her firey real delivery instead of auto-tuned recording. Feel good, Allison fans, your girl delivered. All I saw were dollar signs jumping off the TV screen.

There were pitch problems, which may or may not have been her fault (though she's so accurate that it's extremely doubtful that it was her fault), and it remains to be seen how many people will even notice those problems. But that's the only potential negative at all -- aside from that, it was a grand slam home run in my book. Oh no, I wouldn’t say she blew it at all.

She pitched out on several occasions most especially when singing along with the band. I happened to catch Adam on Slezaks realite, and he said that sometimes the vocal track gets sent out to tv and not a monitor(like the old days) or the stage PA to bounce off the studio which helps the vocalist feel himself in the mix. Its all ear piece today. It is a good looking band, mosdef. Priscilla ...have mercy! JohnM I completely agree with you.

I just hope they weren't so severe that a lot of people noticed -- I seem to be way more sensitive to pitch than most people. The band was great... I loved Priscilla's bass playing, going way up high and sliding back down. And I <em>love</em> Valerie's drumming. And did you catch her fun faces? Valerie F-ing Franco indeed! And how about her knocking the mic stand over! I'm glad she went over to pick it up after they finished, so that people noticed. Rock and rollllllll........
