Hi Sarah,
I saw you open for James Blunt last night and I just wanted to let you know that I thought your performance was incredible! To be able to capture the attention and admiration of an entire room that is waiting for James to perform is not easy to pull off however everyone afterwards was raving about you. (See the message board on James Blunt's website)
All the best and I'll be listening!

Sarah Slean opening for James Blunt?? seriously? That is an...interesting...combination.
And apparently Paris Hilton was in the audience.

I hope Sarah sang Bank Accounts!

I'm glad she was well received.

LOL (for real!) What an appropriate song that would have been! I hope she played it too!

she opened for James Blunt?

...oh my. Why, oh, why????? =S

Thanks for posting Tanya, I don't think anyone here new ahead of time that she would be playing last night.

Sounds like a nice show.

In 1 minutes James Blunt live at MMM will be on.

^just lurking over the James Blunt forum and those reviews really are positive.

Band members coming around to watch Sarah play from the crowd.

Sarah playing in a trio for the first time in many many years.

Slean, Blunt, and Hilton are all signed to Warner.

I think the combination of Sarah and James was perfect! They are both very emotional singer/songwriters and her performance really set the tone for the night. And yes, Paris was there...ugh.

Cameron, I did see the MMM performance but thank-you for the heads up. Did you see it? The VJ was horrible...how embarrassing. I wish I would have stayed in TO another day to be there!

Traci Melchor is awesome It's not her fault that James Blunt kept coming onto her

since Paris was at the concert, it would have been so funny if Sarah did Bank Accounts with her usual "dedication"

Tanya, I did watch some of the James Blunt live at MMM while flipping between House. I did enjoy his piano dancing and it was quite a lively performance. I didn't watch any VJ/Interview segments but here is a quote from the National Post on the special:

quote:

Between songs, Blunt chatted with Much veejay Traci Melchor. She peppered him with questions about his sex life. It quickly became embarrassing. Had you never heard of Blunt, Melchor’s tacky tack would induce you to think he was a porn star or celebrity boyfriend. To his credit, Blunt was plainly more interested in talking about his music than his willy. He came across not as raunchy dude, but as shy guy.

BW, I think a few of us have thought about the same thing.

There are a couple of photos of Sarah's and the Trio linked on the JB forum. Most of the ones I have seen are not so clear. I will be adding one to the Llilslean news page tonight.

Cameron

I love House!

I have a thing for men with English accents..LOL

I hadn't read that article in the Post, thank-you for sharing!

I will keep an eye on the Lillslean site for pictures...right now it is "unavailable" (?)

Cheers!
Tanya

That's only about an eight-minute walk from my place!
Sitting through James Blunt would have been inevitably unbearable, but seeing Sarah woulda been pretty awesome....guess I'll just have to wait a week or so....
