Title says tunes/performances
True......OP's initial post reads "watched Christine's performance as well"....and then "it's now on a list of performances"...so I was going with that.
Makes for a more focused convo, IMHO...as opposed to a topic which really, literally just ends up asking "what songs do you consider Special ?" Or moved you....whether live or recorded...
