shania

Scott Phillips, Calgary Sun, Jun 4, 1998

We've read the reviews from Shania Twain's debut in Sudbury, Ont., last weekend, but how does the vivacious superstar feel about her performance?

"It's a very loose, high-energy, fun, interactive show," says Shania.

"There's a lot of audience participation. I've got a nine piece band -- three fiddlers -- they're all excellent performers and just so in to it.

"Our sound, lights and video are as good as you can get at any level. I want the show to be very fun, entertaining, exciting and unique, but without the sets and props.

"That was my goal and I really believe I achieved it."

MORE RAVE REVIEWS

Here are some on-air excerpts from Dan Williamson, a deejay for CISS-FM in Toronto, after the Sudbury show:

* "To anybody who didn't think Shania Twain could stand on stage and sing for two hours is out of their mind!"

* "It was like a big party and everybody in the building was Shania's friends and family ... and, you know, I bet there were hundreds here who could literally say that! It was a night that I'll never forget."

* "I can tell you without a word of a lie, one of the most dynamic performers in the world today, our very own Shania Twain! It was totally awesome! I've been on the road to Shania and, I'll tell ya, I'm awful glad ... I made the journey!"

TWAIN SEES THE WHITE

The latest smash duet, From This Moment On, featuring Shania and Bryan White, was almost a songwriter's afterthought.

Twain explains: "I wrote the song not intending to record it all. Mutt (Lange, her husband/producer) talked me in to it by suggesting that it could be a duet. I thought: 'OK, that sounds like a very good idea.'

"Bryan was the first person that came to mind. He was interested, so it wasn't a long round about thing.

"It was like: 'I think Bryan White needs to sing this with me,' and called him up.

"He was interested and that was it."
