Shame about your view & having to leave early. :( Glad you enjoyed the show itself though! :D

 

Do What You Want With Me is such a highlight, shame that Una isn't on stage for it but I understand the reasons.

Some more info/opinions...

 

- I would have preferred a VT/montage/backstage clip or something on the screens during their first "off stage" costume change rather than just watching dancers, but that's my opinion.

 

- Just Can't Get Enough and strangely, Work got the best receptions from the crowd.

 

- The "banter" was decent from what I heard but it seemed so fake to me since I know it's already scripted. Saying that, Rochelle did make a comment about the terrible weather and Mollie said Glasgow was their best crowd (:D I bet she says that everywhere). They also talked about how there were very "good looking boys in the audience" but again, it felt awkward because it's scripted.

 

- I loved the new 'Up' choreography. It looks decent on YouTube but when you see it live on the big screens it looks 100x better. The girls are extremely close together and for the most part the choreography was slick and in sync. I did miss the old routine, though.

 

- The prices of the merchandise were a f***ing joke. The Sats mug was £12! And the programme was £10, which is pretty expensive, so I didn't bother with buying anything.

 

- There was alot of couples in the audience, groups of teenage girls, mums with their daughters and even groups of boys (didn't seem gay to me). One funny moment was when I looked to my left and saw a right chavvy looking young guy singing along with Ego. :lol:

 

- While Vanessa's voice isn't that impressive these days on YouTube/TV shows, when you hear her live (especially compared to the bloody awful support acts) you appreciate how talented she is. They really did sound fantastic and put on a hell of a show, I can't praise them enough. :D

Glad to hear you enjoyed the show, shame you had to leave early though!

 

I haven't been able to go to the tour this time around; I wanted to go, but two tours in one year just seemed a bit much when you have to take into account of train tickets, merch etc.

 

If they can establish themselves as a good live act then that really will work in the favor.

Ha yes, they did the "good looking boys" comment at my show. Kind of funny to think when the show was in the planning stages they scripted that.

At Nottingham I'd say 'Just Can't Get Enough', 'Missing You', 'My Heart Takes Over' & 'Higher' got the best reactions. 'Do What You Want With Me', 'My Heart Takes Over' and 'Higher' (even if it was just for Una!) were my absolute favourites, personally. Really, REALLY loved them.

The worst thing about it is that they used the same lines as they did on the Headlines Tour backstage VT thing ("lots of fit guys out there!" "Haha Mollie!" "Oh she's checking out the talent!" etc). :lol:

 

The venue looked like it was 90% sold out. There were ALOT of people there, and it certainly didn't look like anything was "shut off". There were the occasional empty seats (there were two empty seats beside me) but I think the horrible weather was probably the reason (lots of trains were cancelled and there was a storm in Glasgow). The stage was pretty small from where I was standing but it still had all the features and catwalk. There was ALOT of floor space, though. It was literally like a 20 second walk along a big empty floor to get to the seats, and I felt they could have added more seating areas instead of leaving a big empty floor, but whatever.

£10 for a program is cheap! I saw Katy Perry and paid £20 and there was no writing in it at all, it's just pictures! The Sats at least has messages and stuff in it :lol:

Katy Perry had a tour programme? :( None were on sale when I saw her earlier this year. :cry: Maybe they were introduced for the later shows she did.

Maybe cheap compared to Katy Perry but £10 for a booklet is still a rip off, imo. Maybe i'm just a tight arse but seriously, £10? We paid that amount for an all you can eat buffet meal at a chinese restaurant before we went!

£10 is pretty standard for a program

£10 is the cheapest you will ever find a program. LOL @ you thinking that's expensive, seriously. Most are £15 or even £20 now. And yes, Katy Perry didn't have any when I saw her in Cardiff :S I even made a point of asking for one when I couldn't see them!! Gutted :(

Just about to leave for Wembley Arena tonight - VERY excited! :D

I'm going tonight, very very excited! Expecting big things after what's been said in here. :D

Went to Sheffield last night and is was very enjoyable, certainly not packed though.

The front two sets of blocks were behind curtains with the stage brought forward, and the very back blocks (209-212) were all covered up too.

 

I'd probably say that 'Ego' & 'Just Can't Get Enough' got the best reactions which I find surprising given the latter in a cover and was a charity single. I think 'Ego' & 'Faster' were my personal favourites, I think it was the latter that seemed very colourful which I loved.

Amazing show tonight! More than I expected, they knocked it out the park! Soooo proud and happy. Will post more tomo. :D

It was a brilliant show at Wembley tonight, so much better than the Headlines tour! I was very impressed, after being a bit worried about the vocals, mainly Vanessa, it all was fantastic! It was so nice when it was announced Una and Ben are engaged. :wub:

Was tonight busy Aidan?

Wow, the tour was AMAZING! I had a great time, apart from some stereotypical camp men next to me dancing and singing. This one man directly next to me was swinging his arms left and right, singing all the songs loudly and badly, and he was saying "Go on Mollie!" and "Go on Vanessa!" and all that, and it was VERY annoying. But yeah, it was brilliant. Last Call is beautiful live! All Fired Up, JCGE and Work seemed to get the best reception with the crowd, but everyone loved Higher aswell. They all sang very well and are very good live, I thought. I felt very happy when they announced that Una is getting married!

 

R.E. support acts - I missed the first one, I think, but I got there in time for Daniela Brooker, who I really liked, and then there was Oh My. They live up to their name, cause that's what I thought when I heard them...errr...sing...

Oh My really are painful to listen to live! When they came on before The Saturdays everyone in our block (A) was sat down & you could hear people saying about how crap they were.

Aww I love Oh My! :( They do come across as the kind of act who really can't work live though...
