Mirrorball : 3 of 5
1.08.2000 12:53 PM \| Link	I used to be a huge fan of Sarah McLachlan, way back when her second album was released. There were the days before Lilith Fair, when you could think about how cool Sarah was and fantasize about her vaguely homosexual lyrics. Unfortunately, now she's just one more "empowered girl" (I don't mean to be cruel about that, but it's become such a stereotype that no-talent chicks like Joan Osborne get popular), and I've lost some respect for dear Sarah. I decided to rent Mirrorball anyway, since it was one of the first DVDs to use the cool angle feature (even though it does it poorly - you can't switch on the fly), and actually this is a great concert. Her musicians are excellent (except for her lead guitarist, who just likes to bang the strings and hold them up to the monitor), especially her drummer (whom she married, by the way). Sarah herself is great, and it's fun to watch her guitar to figure out weird capo positions and bizarre tunings. She's a little hammy, and I can't help feeling all of that started when she decided it was "important" to be a female artist (as if being an artist by itself wasn't important enough). Anyway, Mirrorball is a fun show to watch, as long as you pretend it's 1994. Labels: cds
