They're covering Lady Gaga's Judas on tour :D

 

GENIUS, considering all of the comments from here there and everywhere at the time that it surfaced, people saying that it sounded like something Steps would have released!

 

PLEASE make it the Xmas comeback single, a top five smash for sure!

Some interesting picks there, strange song to open the show! The only singles missed out were

After The Love Has Gone, Words Are Not Enough, I Know Him So Well and Say You'll Be Mine

. I'd have liked to have seen the latter but other than that I'm not overly bothered at the omissions.

 

15 - I Surrender by Celine Dion (Claire Solo)

 

 

:o, Nicki French did an AWESOME cover of this song a few years back. I wonder if Claire's covering it in a similar style.

 

Surprised they've included

When I Said Goodbye

though, such a tedious song.

 

Very disappointed that

After The Love Has Gone

isn't amongst the lineup, but thrilled that

Summer Of Love and Here And Now

are.

I'd like to know if it was the single version of

--------Heartbeat---------

performed or the remix that they used to wheel out on their past tours. I too was surprised to see

When I Said Goodbye make the cut over After The Love Has Gone and Say You'll Be Mine. The latter was one of their biggest selling hits

:o

It was the single mix Gooddelta and was surpsingly amazing.

 

I had MANY MOMENTS during the whole thing:

 

- YOU'LL BE SORRY *dies*

- Lisa's HOT FAN ACTION 2.0

- Claire wiping the sweat from her brow during Summer Of Love whilst visibly gasping for air

- Lisa's SOLO MEDLEY - ON MY GOD IT WAS EVERYTHING

- Claire singing my 8th favourite song of all time as her solo number

- The final section in general

 

ShockOLady, the first support act was every shade of shite known to man. Kamaliya was DIRE, but in an amazing way. I WISH YOU... ENJOY *.*

Oh and I have a couple of very short videos (my phone was acting up) which I'll upload in the morning.
Much better cover, but I don't really think there's much need if all they've added is a karaoke disc.

I've just got back from Cardiff where they played last night and they were brilliant! The support acts were less so... Shockolady and "Mr Smith" were pretty dire, it was like watching something from the heats of a Lithuanian Eurovision NF. Kamaliya was alright, but they should have got someone a lot better and less generic - Le Kid or a group like that would have been perfect I think. Prior to the support acts there were music videos being played on screens - One Direction came on and the scream from the crowd (who were mostly female, oddly) was absolutely huge, I've never seen such obsessive looning before. Scary!

 

Claire's solo performance was absolutely incredible, and her appearance on Popstar To Operastar was also given a nod in a very interesting and nice way! H's solo was also surprisingly brilliant, mainly because it was quite a technical performance. Lisa was very over-enthusiastic as per - ad-libbing a lot in weird places, but her medley was great!

 

It's The Way You Make Me Feel got the biggest cheer of the night, but as John said, the final section with Stomp, Chain Reaction, Dancing Queen and Tragedy was absolutely brilliant. I also warmed to When I Said Goodbye, but I was one of a few who did as there was quite the mass exodus to the toilets/refreshements when it started. :lol:

 

Oh the whole, it was an absolutely fantastic night. The only disappointment was that Lee didn't get a fair share of the vocals at all. After it was touched upon in the Living series, I thought perhaps he'd pick up an extra verse here and there, particularly on You'll Be Sorry which was still sung predominantly by H.

Just got back from the Brighton concert - amazing.

 

The crowd was an interesting mix, mostly 20 and 30-somethings which I guess was to be expected. And as for the support acts, Shockolady and Mr Smith were easily the worst act I've ever witnessed, Kamaliya was a hot mess, quite high budget for a support act with loads of dancers, acrobats and bizarre men with long arms. The music was catchy and well produced too, and I love that after every song she reminded us that she was from Russia, Ukraine (huh?) and how much she loves Steps and Brighton.

 

Ha!lights were Lisa's dire vocals and general OTTness (did she REALLY ever do any ad-libs on When I Said Goodbye, does the song even require them?), Claire's chute plummeting out of sight every time she stepped into it whilst the others lowered gradually, Better The Devil You Know pausing as it began and one of the six screens being broken throughout the whole concert!

 

Highlights were Claire's STUNNING vocals, Faye being stunning in general and H actually bringing a great energy (his solo was great, so much going on - he'd obviously make a great kids entertainer). Musical highlights for me were the interactive dance medley comprising Last Thing On My Mind, Better Best Forgotten and Love's Got A Hold On My Heart and then Summer Of Love, One For Sorrow, Heartbeat, Tragedy, It's The Way You Make Me Feel and Faye and Claire's solos, the former for being hilariously camp and the latter for being a stunning vocal performance. A fantastic show, the only minor grumble being When I Said Goodbye which I've never minded but it was bland as hell following the far better ballad in Heartbeat which was actually executed and received really well considering I always thought that Tragedy almost single handedly carried that single to being a million seller.

Glad you enjoyed it, Rich! Did Kamaliya open with "HELLO EVERYBODY. I AM KAMALIYA. I AM FROM UKRAINE!!" like she did in Cardiff? I found it all rather amusing, and it was further proof to my theory that all women in Ukraine like to shout a lot. :lol:

 

One of the screens was broken in Cardiff too. Let's hope they mend that in time for the O2 DVD recording!

Of all the Kamaliya lost in translation phrases, Belfast's 'I WISH YOU ENJOY' is still DA BEST. Although she also did 'Hugs and kisses from Russia... AND YOOKRAAAAANE'' before hobbling off stage with her dancers.
I also admired her "DANCE WITH ME!!" before she proceeded to be swung around by her backing dancers, as if we were all somehow supposed to copy her :lol:

She did all of these and more, it was comical! I almost wish she'd replace Gaitana in Eurovision asap.

Kamaliya wasn't even at the Newcastle show! I can't believe I missed her!
Did you have SHOCK~O~LADY?

 

Yes, unfortunately. it was only her and her rent-a-rapper.
