I Feel Like a Woman,” Faith Hill’s “Breathe,” Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name,” TLC’s “No Scrubs” and Dixie Chicks’ “Cowboy Take Me Away.” Where her recorded version has a burbling, synthesized feel, Alaina’s live performance of “Ladies in the ’90s” gets a rousing rock edge on Late Nightthanks to her live band.
