True Colors Tour @ Radio City: Like A Rainbow

The full show was close to five (!) hours in length... However, rather than reliving the entire journey step by step by step, here's my review in *under 100 words*.

The Gossip: Absolutely incredible. Highlight of the evening. The trio even busted out Aaliyah's 'R U That Somebody?'. Beth had on a fabulous purple shimmery dress.

Dresden Dolls: Impressive. Won over a reluctant crowd. 'Coin-Operated Boy' was met with huge applause, as was the Jacque Brel cover. Class act, as per usual. Ace.

Debbie Harry: Disappointing, disappointing, disappointing. Vocals were off, not one single Blondie track performed and Debbie now goes by Deborah. Sigh. And Deb, you know we love you, but the silver mini-skirt was easily the fashion faux pas of the year.

Erasure: Electro-pop gods prove why they got the title in the first place. 'A Little Respect', 'Chains Of Love' + 'Oh L'Amour' met with rapturous approval. Biggest cheers of the night.

Cyndi Lauper: God love her. Wig, unmatching high heels, Karen O-esque gown and all. 'True Colors' choir to close the show = perfection. Accent was flaring out of control!
