| - The first time I walked past the billboard for this show about a year ago, I honest to God thought it was an advertisement for a mall because Veronic looks just like a model. I am so, so glad I decided to research what it actually was.
She opened with Beyonce and I think that was her weakest point in the show. For some reason I felt like her voice lacked the depth to replicate several of the black singers she impersonated. HOWEVER, everything else was almost flawless.
She had little segments that were themed around a particular type of singer. There was a section explaining how to get certain voices (since they didn't really fit in another category) which included Shakira and Amy Winehouse. Then there were sections from the 80s, queens of pop (Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Pink, Beyonce, Madonna), women who sing and play piano (Annie Lenox, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys), country (Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Shania Twaine), and divas (Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, Barbara Streisand, Aretha Franklin, and she ended with Whitney Houston). She had backup dancers that she actually danced with! She totally owned the stage. Even though her impersonations her incredible (special shout out to Celine Dion, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill) I may have gotten bored but the energy was incredible. I was awed to see her singing and dancing and she was so great at both.
I think some older people in the audience didn't quite know all the more modern music, but as someone who is almost 25 (that's hard to say) I knew almost everyone she sang. It was so wonderful. it's the best show I have ever seen in Vegas.
