I didn't think I'd get to see either show tonight since my dorm can't get cable and my room can't get ANY reception with an antenna. Luckily, I remembered that my friend's room on the other side of the building gets decent reception, so I moved my TV and VCR in there. It was good enough to watch, but not really good enough to tape (I know since I just watched the tape and it had lots of static), so I'm not the person to ask to make copies. Anyway, their performance of JMI on Leno was pretty good. I'm not sure if Dolores messed up at the end of the one chorusor if she was just singing it differently. They shortened the end of the song, I guess to make it fit in their allotted time. Dolores did her own unique style of dancing throughout the song. Some people don't like the way she dances, but I do. After they were done playing, they sat on Jay's couch but he didn't talk to them at all (like he did last time they were on). They just were there while he ended the show. I think that JMI has a decent chance of doing better than Promises and AI because it's very 'poppy' and pop is what sells today. I didn't have high expectations for Kilborn's show. I'm just not a big fan of his. I always though it would be great to see Dolores do The Late Late Show while Tom Snyder was still hosting it, but oh well. At the start of the show, after saying who his guests were, he played a short clip of Dreams and said how he thought Dolores's voice was really pretty. Throughout the show, they had a running story going that they continued before each commercial break. I think the idea was that there was something going on between Craig and Dolores and also Craig and the night's other female guest (Carla something). After each guest's segment he/she said a few words about this love triangle. It was mildly humorous. Dolores was the final guest (she came on right after Craig totally trashed Kevin Costner). She was on for longer than I thought she'd be, which was cool. Craig repeatedly said how he really likes her voice. It's cool to see her be interviewed by someone that actually respects what she does. She said that her voice has always been her best virtue, or something to that effect. Then he asked how the tour was going and she said it was going well because of all of the days off they have and how she could be with Taylor. He mentioned meeting her husband backstage and she said that he is her personal manager and takes care of the business stuff. Then she said that her brother handles all of the money. He asked if she missed Ireland and she said she missed the pubs. She said they were nice because you could just go there and have a drink and talk to people. She said how the farmers would milk the cows and then come in for a drink a half hour later with crap on their boots up to their knees. She said there were always musicians playing and singing by the open fireplaces there. He asked if she sang there, and she was like, "yeah, cuz when you're drunk, everyone sings". He asked her to sing one of the songs, so she sang a line from a traditional song that she said was popular there. He asked if the album was doing well and she said it was doing ok, but not that well since a lot of people don't even know it's out. She said there were some problems because their record company got bought out. She said people always come up to her and ask when she's going to make another album and she tells them it's been out for six months. She said it might also be because the CD cover doesn't have their faces on it (or the band's name). I agree. They should definitely bring back band photos and the couch. Craig said that he would keep the CD out for the next two shows so more people would see it. Can someone that watches his show regularly let us know if he actually does this. I don't expect him to, but it would be wicked cool if he did. Then the interview ended and Dolores did her little thing about Craig and Carla. I think she had trouble trying to say it with a straight face. I don't think she'd be a good actress. :) Anyway, that was it. I have a new respect for Craig Kilborn after seeing this show. I wish we got to see Dolores in situations such as this more often. I thought Dolores looked great on both shows. The way her hair is now, she reminded me of how she looked in the Rockumentary (ie, TTFD era). Does anyone know what color her shirt was on The Tonight Show? It alternated between blue and green because of my poor reception. Anyone else have any observations? Anyone (zombieguide?) want to capture the song/interview and make MP3's/movies?

They've now done AI and JMI on the Tonight Show when they should've done Promses IMO. It was a good performance but JMI isn't my fav. song. > Does anyone know what color her shirt was on The Tonight Show? < ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 15:49:39 -0400 From: Paul Bowen Subject: %Cran: JMI video in US? Anyone have any idea when MTV will play JMI in the US? Will they premiere it on 120 Minutes?
