(after opening songs)

Thank you.  T/Y.  How are you?  I thank all of you.  Actually, I was very nervous about this show.  But after 3 shows, I am now less nervous & more excited.  The last 3 shows, the audience was very good.  Their reaction was very excited and passionate.  Will you be even more excited than they were? (scream) You deserve to be loved.  Since you are so good, tonight I will try to sing all my songs, ok?  First of all, I will sing my lst broadcasted song.  Do you know which one?  "Offstage Leading Actress." T/Y

T/Y.  Everyone is so busy, right?  You have to watch the show, listen to the music, & take pictures, right?  Wah, there are a lot of cameras.  I would like to ask how many people brought a camera.  Please scream if you did. (scream) Are there really that many? Should I pose for you to take pictures? Which side lst? Which side can scream the loudest? (scream) You all count to 3. OK, this side was pretty loud, too. You count to 3. Wow, thunder & lightning!  Which other side?  Should I come closer?  You count to 3. OK,  the last side. Can you flash as much as them? All together, because the other side didn't seem to flash at the same time. 1,2,3.  Well, if it's so flashy, why don't we all take a picture at the same time?  I'll make one big turn, OK? All together 1,2,3.  Wow, I'm going to faint.

green color outfit:
Song#l "Crazy Heart Changes to Deeper Love"
Song#2 "Predestined End" : beginning : Hello, I will ....
End of Song,#2:
T/Y. T/Y all. I don't know how many times I've said  T/Y, maybe hundreds or thousands of times; because every time I perform, everyone gives me applause & lots of gifts. All the things you gave me, I still remember in my heart.  I have put all your gifts nicely in my house.  But there's one gift that is priceless.  It's only worth $15.50 and is a toy piano.  Back then, the person who gave it to me was my biggest fan.  This was my mom.  I want to thank my mom. (applause) Because back then, there wasn't much money in the family & this toy was not something that I had to have.  But I couldn't believe that later my mom used her hard earned money to buy me a big piano.  I was so touched.  I would remember this & take advantage of this opportunity.  This piano has been w/ me through my maturing & feelings of happiness, anger, love, & sadness.  So tonight, I will play a song for my mom, you, & also my grandmother. She's almost 90 yrs. old. Why don't you greet her?  She's over there.  I'm so happy.  Where are you?  Hello, Grandma!  She normally sleeps at 8. I told her to sleep before she came to the concert.  Otherwise while I'm doing the show, it wouldn't look good if she fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sitting at piano: Which song should I sing now? T/Y.  OK, then it will be "Beloved." Do you know how to sing it?  Let's sing it together, OK.  You count to 3 & I'll start.

After "Pretend" songOK, we're about to be forced out of here.  I need to quickly sing my last song. But before I sing, I have a little something to say.  I'm so happy.  Tonight you have all made my dream come true.  I was able to have my lst solo concert.  I hope everyone from now on, every day, every minute, & every second, will remember the happiness we shared tonight at this concert.  I bring you my last song "Lonely Heartache." T/Y.

Encore- short skirt: Oh, no, we don't have to leave.  We already have to pay a fine.  You will pay, right?  No, I'm just joking! I would never think of asking you to pay.  How about we not leave?  Stay here & sleep! (she laughs) Does this dress look good?  I was thinking I have to go to a celebration dinner party later tonight, but I still think I should wear it to greet the people.  Does it look good? (she laughs) OK, this is really my last song & I truly thank you all for these 4 nights of support.  I will always remember this.  Thank-you all!!
