Show synopsis
Clarkson began and ended each show with "All I Ever Wanted" and "My Life Would Suck Without You". The setlist was filled with past hits, tracks from her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted, and covers. One of the covers was a mashup of Alanis Morissette's "That I Would Be Good" and Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody". The setlist was changed-up a bit starting with the Oceania shows. Clarkson was backed by her twelve piece band.
Critical reception
MTV's Jim Cantiello was at the New York City show and said, "Kelly Clarkson brings everyone together: the young, the old, the gay, the straight, the hipsters, the teenyboppers, the Glamberts, the Allen Nation." He also praised her vocal talent saying, "which she used to great effect in her expansive set."{{cite web|last1=Cantiello|first1=Jim|title=Kelly Clarkson Fans Turn New York City Into A Giant Karaoke Party|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/1623261/kelly-clarkson-fans-turn-new-york-concert-into-a-giant-karaoke-party/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150423034702/http://www.mtv.com/news/1623261/kelly-clarkson-fans-turn-new-york-concert-into-a-giant-karaoke-party/|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 23, 2015|website=MTV|publisher=Viacom International Inc.|date=October 7, 2009|access-date=July 9, 2022}} Gene Stout attended the Seattle show and said, "the former "American Idol" proved indispensable in keeping me and thousands of her fans entertained with an onslaught of such past hits" and that she
"performed with a surprisingly effective blend of polish and grit."{{cite web|last1=Stout|first1=Gene|title=Concert Review: Kelly Clarkson hooks up with fans at WaMu Theater|url=https://genestout.com/concert-review-kelly-clarkson-hooks-up-with-fans-at-wamu-theater/|website=GeneStout.com|date=November 25, 2009|access-date=July 9, 2022}} Keith Fairbank of South Wales Argus, said of the Cardiff show, "There's a live band and some strobe lights – but that's it. No elaborate staging, no flying from wires, no dancers. Not even a costume change. Kelly lets her music rule the show and gave the crowd all they ever wanted." He also said that her voice was "fantastic."{{cite web|last1=Fairbank|first1=Keith|title=Kelly Clarkson, Cardiff International|url=https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/5016450.kelly-clarkson-cardiff-international-arena/|website=South Wales Argus|publisher=Newsquest Media Group Ltd.|date=February 18, 2010|access-date=July 8, 2022}} Tracey Bond of Stuff who attended the Auckland show said, "From the moment Clarkson skipped out on stage, barefoot, to the opening bars of All I Ever Wanted, she gave the crowd at Vector 110 percent. On every song she demonstrated the powerful voice which helped her to win the first season of American Idol."{{cite web|last1=Bond|first1=Tracey|title=Review: Kelly Clarkson in Auckland|url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/3570898/Review-Kelly-Clarkson-in-Auckland|website=Stuff|publisher=Stuff Limited|date=April 12, 2010|access-date=July 8, 2022}}

Controversy
The tour faced controversy in 2010 when Clarkson's image was used to promote Indonesian cigarette brand {{ill|L.A. Lights|id}} (produced by Djarum). The ad promoted the local government to protest and ban the singer's concert in Jakarta.{{cite web|url= http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/21/kelly-clarkson-concert-banned-in-jakarta/|title=Kelly Clarkson concert banned in Jakarta|date=April 21, 2010|work=The Marquee Blog|publisher=Cable News Network|accessdate=December 8, 2011|archiveurl=http://www.freezepage.com/1323352767OTOWSKVHWX?url=http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/21/kelly-clarkson-concert-banned-in-jakarta/|archivedate=8 December 2011}} After legal deliberation, the company removed Clarkson's likeness in the ads and stepped down as the concert's sponsor. The concert continued as planned.{{cite web |url=http://www.accesshollywood.com/kelly-clarkson-vows-to-play-jakarta-show-despite-anti-smoking-protesters-pleas_article_31466 |title= Kelly Clarkson Vows To Play Jakarta Show Despite Anti-Smoking Protesters' Pleas|date=April 21, 2010|work=Access Hollywood|accessdate=December 8, 2011|archiveurl=http://www.freezepage.com/1323352867THOEIXSDVC?url=http://www.accesshollywood.com/kelly-clarkson-vows-to-play-jakarta-show-despite-anti-smoking-protesters-pleas_article_31466|archivedate=December 8, 2011}}
