This was the best Jackie concert I've ever attended. She kicked my butt. I hadn't cried this much since my second concert back in 2012. Wet cheeks, stuffy nose. I really thought I had this under control now, but I was pretty much helpless this evening. It started with MOTN, the tearing up. Best version I've ever heard, which I've said several times before; but it's true, this topped all of those, even. As usual, Jackie mentioned that this was sung by the phantom. She said again that she'd like to play Christine on stage. It was perfect. Every transition smooth, every vocal flourish done seemingly without effort. Left for break after that. Peter sat there and then said he was waiting for us to forget what we just heard, before he played his number. joked that he would now sing a song sung by Christine. Then he got serious and praised Jackie's performance of MOTN and said he could listen to it every night.
Jackie changed up her intro to WAWW a bit, saying the original singer had a unique voice that was still beautiful, but her dad needed practice before he could sing it with. "I don't get my voice from my dad." Before Nessun Dorma, Jackie mentioned singing it on BGT, then proceeded to sing the best version of ND I have ever heard, better than BGT, AGT, DWMIC, etc. No one clapped after the third vincero, as sometimes happens, but waited until the end.
Coming back to my seat after intermission, I nearly bumped into Juliet. It was the first time I'd seen any of Jackie's siblings in person. Dressed to the nines, of course. Easy to see why she gets modeling gigs. Caruso I'd heard better, but impressed with Jackie's enunciation. She's much better with consonants than when she was younger. The Way We Were was the surprise song. It's different than Streisand's, already done in Jackie's own style. Jackie mentioned making the videos for WOTW and S&S, but didn't mention her co-stars, Rachel and Juliet, who were both in attendance. I wonder if either had seen themself on the big screen before. Lovers and TLP were excellent, but not best ever, as MOTN and ND were.
One thing different: instead of her usual two water bottles on the table, she had a glass filled with water.

I agree that Jackie brought her own interpretation to TWWW, but i think it was very much informed by Streisand's version (and pronunciation); she wasn't quite channeling Babs, but not very far from it either. But that's IMO not unusual for early performances; over time, she'll make small changes, not by accident, but very much on purpose. This was the best Jackie concert I've ever attended.

FWIW, pics on the Mike Netzel FaceBook (the outside sign on previous page) channel show a relatively full house.
