Deer in the headlights
by bubele on 2010-04-22Park West - ChicagoCharlotte Gainsbourg gave a barely-there performance at Park West on wednesday. Her vocal style is minimalist, and on stage, combined with the fact that she seemed like a deer in the headlights and barely communicated with the audience, it made for quite a boring evening. The set was almost saved by a crack band, that seemed to realize that it really had to backstop poor Charlotte, who is beautiful, but not nearly talented either as a singer or a performer to pull off being a headliner.
