September 8, 201410 yr I don't get why they dropped the original 'What About Us' routine, it was their best routine to date and I'm sure it would have got them more knowledge performing on daytime shows rather than the microphone routine. I want HEADFLIPPING, not a bunch of girls who look drunk and attending Yoga. That 'What About Us' performance just looked so lazy.
September 8, 201410 yr You can all just step the hell back from Vanessa. This church is for worship all year round, not just tour time :wub:
September 9, 201410 yr Would have to be honest and say the atmosphere wasn't great. Perhaps it was where I was sitting I'm not too sure. I didn't see many empty seats though. If the YouTube vids are anything to go by then the crowd was totally dead. Very sad to see. I was disappointed with the performances of the newer songs. 808, Walking Through The Desert, and the medley were really underwhelming. Maybe it's just me? On a positive note, they sound pretty good vocally. I'm glad they don't seem to be relying too heavily on live autotune or backing tracks. My one complaint about all of their live performances is that the harmonies always seem to overpower the melodies. It's almost as if nobody is designated to sing the main vocals.

I know she has to carry pretty much all of them on her own, but if she can't do it (which would be totally fair, by the way), then they should make other arrangements because they end up f***ing things up when they do this. -_- ------------- I feel like '808' should have been the 'Get Ready, Get Set' of the tour just like the latter was for 'All Fired Up! Live Tour" and in that way it was a bit disappointing because they don't have the same energy/feeling and amazing routine, but only because of that. On its own, it wasn't disappointing. Especially the start, it was great. As for 'Walking Through The Desert', they just stood there. :( Vocally it was good, although a bit messy during the chorus (obviously...), but it was just lacklustre in terms of energy and presence. Hell, they look more like popstars sitting on the stairs, guitars out, singing 'Chasing Lights' than they do when singing that one. It doesn't make sense. :huh: ------------- As for the medley, I definitely thought most of it was flat. Again, the only good thing was going from 'Get Ready Get Set' to 'One Shot', but these two tracks are just some monster tracks. They are HUGE. So, so, so good. I wouldn't have expected any less basically. The highlight for the tour remains 'Disco Love/One More Time' for me...and obviously all of Vanessa's ad-libs which were LUSH. ------------- The crowd wasn't totally dead, but only really came to its own during 'What About Us' true. <div style="margin-left:25px;">WfTCEYTWBIE</div> (Which was a perfect example of Vanessa stepping out of the chorus and letting Mollie's harmony being the main melody when just like Frankie's in general, it isn't supposed to be. The difference is Mollie doesn't sing as high, so it can reasonably pass for a main melody... :unsure:
September 9, 201410 yr We're basing it off one performance though.. And it was opening night! I know for sure that crowds are different around the country.. It will be electric in Manchester, for example. We stand up, cheer and dance for ANYTHING :lol: There was even a campaign for the arena once that read "Manchester: the city that thinks tables are for dancing on" lmao.

Glasgow was meant to be like that :lol: everyone was standing and clapping, but there weren't much people jumping around (well loads did during WAYWF and WAU) But it was nice that people were swaying during the ballads. Vanessa slayed me so hard with Issues. I also can't get over her middle 8 in Ego it was just bliss.
September 9, 201410 yr You can all just step the hell back from Vanessa. This church is for worship all year round, not just tour time :wub: I worship Vanessa's vocals all year round what you trying to say :o :lol:
September 9, 201410 yr THEY SLUTDROPPED DURING WHAT ABOUT US LMAO They looked good while doing it. :kink:
September 9, 201410 yr What's with Don't Let Me Dance Alone? Was it a popular album track? They spoke about how Frankie was doing strictly, and that in the medley we were to look out for the strictly dance (which they one in partners in DLMDA, which is why there was a random cheer :lol:) so I think that is why it was added, not that I minded as I love the track
September 9, 201410 yr I love Don't Let Me Dance Alone; it just sadly has poor vocal production. I'd rather it were performed fully. :(
September 9, 201410 yr Just watched the video of the Medley, it looked amazing :wub: Wish they'd sang the full version of Wildfire though even though what they did sing of it was incredible. Vanessa's vocals are giving me life on all the videos of the tour so far! She really has upped her game & left the other girls looking like complete amateurs in my opinion. :wub:
September 9, 201410 yr Just a fantastic show! My favourite part was My Heart Takes Over. It was unreal.
September 9, 201410 yr She really has upped her game & left the other girls looking like complete amateurs in my opinion. :wub: This :wub: I'm so glad she has overcome her problems and is getting back to where she was vocally before. Obviously it'll be impossible to go back to how she sounded during Chasing Lights/Wordshaker, but her voice is just :heart:
September 9, 201410 yr That video of WAU is pretty underwhelming, it was so much better seeing it live. The crowd was a lot more lively than the videos show it to be I thought.
