Review from THE BOSTON HERALD

Guitar-wielding Orianthi displayed some impressive guitar licks and abrasive pop-rock on “According to Him” and “Shut Up and Kiss Me.” Even more impressive was fellow “American Idol” alum Allison Iraheta, who channeled a Janis Joplin-esque sound to open the show.

Another Review:

Opener (and Lambert’s “Idol’’ season-mate) Allison Iraheta’s music was just like her hair: a multicolored riot but predominantly Pink, though any snarl in her voice and her songs was all but diluted by the muddle of her sound mix. She was followed by Orianthi, whose apparent need to fit as many notes as possible between lyrics made her come off like the Lambert of guitar shredders, all confident technical mastery accomplishing little.

    I’m not too fond of the spinning stage. Seeing the back of the band isn’t that exciting, and almost all of Holiday was like that :(

    BTW, noticed that Gerry Mattei wasn’t there and I hate to sound mean or something, but I didn’t miss him (musically). Everything sounded fine, even more rock without the keyboards.

    Again, I hate to sound mean because I quite like Gerry, he’s a really nice guy but I agree. Holiday could use another guitar. It was awesome hearing FIBOU minus all the electronic keyboard sounds, it sounded like the rock track it should’ve been.

    I believe that Gerry also can play guitar, that would be fun… switch out keys for more strings.

    Oh, that would be even better, the best of both worlds. I’d love to hear Trouble is live again someday and that one totally requires the piano.
