I think there has to be a good reason why it wasn't included here, the last tour, or the Vegas show. It's quite possible she didn't like the way it sounded when it was adjusted to her new voice/tone, or that maybe that one just wasn't adaptable. It's unfortunate because it is one of her biggest hits, and probably the one I hear played most often today.
Alexis Anderson i think it’s possibly because the song was written about Mutt and the words forever and for always lost their meaning to her. It’s clear she doesn’t want to perform it after not including it any any show since her divorce.
That's likely the case. Her voice dropped a bit and it's a challenging song to sing, spanning F3 to D5. I think she has to go into falsetto in the bridge all the way up to D5 in live versions of the song and that's basically everyone's favorite part of the song (I'll never see that day-ay-ay-ay-ay.) If that part of the song doesn't right, the audience won't be happy. It's repeated 3 times in the song and she can't just bypass it like she does with recent live versions of the F#5 in Come On Over.
It's devastating that she's never performed it live because it's a stunning ballad. It's also lower down since she recorded it after contracting lyme disease so should be relatively easy for her to sing.
It’s a masterpiece of a song. I’m bummed she hasn’t sang it ever. I went to her rock this country tour in Seattle as well as this show here and she teased don’t by playing the instrumental as an interlude as well as ka ching (my family’s JAM!) and I thought she was gonna play em and she didn’t and I was kinda sad haha
Poor Shania. I love Forever and For Always (my favorite from her) and I want to hear it in her new voice. She should just try to sing it, even if it sounds bad it's a lot of people's favorites. Her voice dropped a bit and it's a challenging song to sing, spanning F3 to D5. I think she has to go into falsetto in the bridge all the way up to D5 in live versions of the song and that's basically everyone's favorite part of the song (I'll never see that day-ay-ay-ay-ay.) If that part of the song doesn't right, the audience won't be happy. It's repeated 3 times in the song and she can't just bypass it like she does with recent live versions of the F#5 in Come On Over. But I still think she should try, even if it doesn't sound quite right.
I'm guessing these are four old songs she wanted to perform but had to cut or something so she threw clips in instead? Either way it's kind of a waste of time if you ask me
