Ding! The Home Stretch

With only one show left, Natalie and Emily are tied, with Martie still able to force a three-way tie.

(For those trying to figure out the scoring, the Chicks decided that the only thing that should matter is who finishes first the most often.)

After the third night, Emily was looking like the favorite to win. She even got cocky and drew a portrait of a middle finger to rub it in. (Kids, don't try this at home.)

But Martie made sure to spell MEN on Wednesday. And yesterday, Natalie's competitive spirit took over and she made damn sure that she would ring that bell first.

It all comes down to tonight.

	Kent67bwrote: From a purely mathemathical outlook on this contest, Emily has the advantage here. If you start to glaze over reading this explanation, I completely understand. But here goes... The best way to determine the winner is to use the points system. One point if you come in first. Two points for second. Three points for third. Add all your points together for the five shows and the lowest number is in the lead. After five shows, Emily has 9 points, Natalie 10, Martie 11. If Martie wins the sixth night and Emily comes in third, then there is a three way tie. If Martie wins and Emily comes in second, Emily wins. If Emily wins the sixth night, it's hers. If Natalie wins, and Emily comes in second, they tie. If Natalie wins, and Emily comes in third, Natalie wins it all. Nov. 14
	Kent67bwrote: I think Emily wins the contest. She does less with her hair before the show. Nothing personal but it has to be easier to do what she does with her hair than for Nat or Martie. What the heck do I know, I'm a guy. I had a different read on the last night at Nokia than a previous poster. However, I thought the music was fantastic as usual. But I was very impressed with the Eagles fans I talked to over the course of the six shows. The closing show was no exception. I talked to many eagles fans during the break each night and heard mostly very positive comments. They were especially impressed with the music. They had no idea how talented the Dixie Chicks are. I did hear some negative comments but none were about the music. To me that says something. The phenomenon we call 'Dixie Chicks music' can take some people by surprise. Nov. 13

You were extremely rude when I wrote to you telling you that the profile was fake. Hopefully you will be more mature and polite when posting on this site and others. Junichi: We're looking forward to those Halloween party pics! 28 October 7:17 PM I wouldnt have a clue what you're talking about, and by the way I'd like to point out that i have a right to post on this blog without being acosted by a person who has no name.

	Steph C.wrote: Pam, This will crack you up. How about, I reviewed my video clips and I was so nervous about getting caught that I covered the microphone while recording. :o( - LOL The shots and footage of the Chicks is awesome, but the sound is quite muffled. Nov. 3
	Pam in NCwrote: Steph C: Thank you for the great review and for the shout-out! I'm thrilled to know that the ol' feminine hygiene products ruse worked for you, too :) BTW, I love NYC, so I had no problem with being associated with the greatest city in the world. Pam in NC Nov. 1

This person make any sense at all to anyone ? I'll tell ya...What's tough, is running your mouth about a DCX show and not knowing a thing you are talking about. - LOL Seriously "No Name" Give it a rest. You are all welcome for the review. Yes, after I download my clips onto the computer, if they are as good as they look, I will be posting them on Youtube. I'll need an account though, so I'll have to register.

	Steph C.wrote: Ok all....As promised...Here is my review of the Final Chicks Show on Sat. Oct. 27, 2007 in Los Angeles. I just got back to Ohio from L.A. a few hours ago and now have full computer access. So Here goes : First and foremost, the Chicks of course did not disappoint. Their performance was phenomenal ! I want to also say Mary I am sorry that I did not see your comment until it was too late about meeting up. The complimentary computer at the hotel wouldn't download the flash plugin on the site, so I couldn't get into the blogger except for once, when I stopped on at a Fedex / Kinkos. A HUGE Thank you to Pam in NYC for the camera tips. I used the "feminine products" idea and got my camera past security. I was able to get 2 photos and 3 small video clips during the show. :o) I got caught once, but they were nice about it. The Eagles crowd was a Geriatric Convention. The Eagles Fans...were quite rude and seemed very pompass and pretentious. They made the experience, somewhat uncomfortable. It was as if they thought the just ruled because they had Tickets to see the Eagles...and many were making comments, cracking on the Dixie Chicks before they even started. One Guy across the Aisle from me slept the entire time during the Chicks Show. Others around me who were making fun of myself and Sara for Cheering on the Chicks...found themselves 2 songs later, saying..."Wow..these Girls are Good". The Dixie Chicks are good...anytime anywhere...whether it be on CD, DVD...Live etc. They can play anything...anywhere....and it shows. They have such ecclectic talent, and they are all three so beautiful as well. They looked and sounded incredible. I enjoyed their rendition of "Mary" and I hope that they record it. I know someone mentioned earlier...and I agree, that it seemed as though because of the Eagles, The DCX were rushed. They played for about an hour. The did end up doing "Sin Wagon" which was a nice surprise..as I don't think it was on the set list of their eralier shows. The crowd...as others mentioned...was small at first...and just a few of us giving the Chicks Love. By Shut up and sing...everyone was on their feet, and some were even bowing down to the DCX as if to say "We're not worthy". :o) Many of the Eagles Fans made me nervous...once again uncomfortable...complaining about us standing when we did...and sceaming applause for the Chicks. Needless to say..we stuck around just to hear how the Eagles sounded (which was quite good..better than I expected) and we bolted a few songs later. I did not like how ..as others mentioned also...that it was apparent the Chicks were being treated as an Opening Act, and not as if the concert was a shared Bill as I had thought. Now, For the Final thing that did me in...and had me so through with the Eagles Fans...was during the Chicks Final Song...These Fans come sauntering in...as if no one is even performing...and they had the same seats as someone else in our row. We got jacked out of our seats and were standing in the Aisle, while they fought with other Fans over their seats. I tried not to let it ruin the Finale of DCX and Sara and I just danced and cheered in the Aisle, but it was still yet another rude distraction, that could have waited 3 mins until the Chicks were done...and the Fans could have come in between sets. All in all...Natalie, Martie, and Emily, were just plain incredible. I enjoyed every minute of their performance, and the Trip to L.A. with both Sara and I having bad colds, and also all the Wildfires out in So Cal...and all We went through to get there...all the way from our "lovely" state (Ohio) ....(being sarcastic). I guess you could almost literally say...We'd come through "Fire and Ice" and do really just about anything to See the Chicks. :o) P.S. Many comments were made to the two of us while we were in L.A. about...Oh...You're from Ohio...and you actually like the DCX ? I thought Ohio was such a conservative state....blah blah ? The answer to that question, is yes Ohio may be one of those conservative/swing states, but NOT Sara and Me. We go against the grain. We love the Chicks for everything they are...musically...personalities, and yes we agree with them politically as well. Thank you DCX for making our trip worth it ! I can hardly wait though for a SOLO TOUR minus The Eagles Fans though. Stephanie and Sara :o)** Oct. 30
