the british superstar will young has his beginning on a strange mode beginning he was on the first pop idol-winner get to be have after more than 8,7 million people their polls . pop star talk before his performance in the unite or the stars-concert in the bellville-.

 

the ease with which the british singer will young you receive, shows how manure he is . but graduate in the politics can change gears . even in where he comfortable to eat ’a plate salad and ’a half cheese-and-tomato sandwich.

 

“fame can stop your personal development ,†says the popster. “the people around your can work out their troubles, but in the public eye you cannot. thus, in where can you troubles make?

 

“you need to everything and everybody always one before be. it can over whelming.â€

 

young have he scarcely ’a month after he the winner announced is, he is gay.

 

“people haven't ’a mighty thing about it made of it. i has been fortunate; the ­popularity of the series probably made it easier for the public to consume. or probably is it ’a sign of the time.

 

 

he has matters even further removes his cloths in ’a scene in his first role at the cinema, mrs. henderson ­presents.

 

“i don't give it a thought; my parents is a little liberal. its got also in the context of the cinema made. i am thinking it'll much more horrible be ’a sekstoneel to play.â€

 

there's also ’a scene right from before shot, that not use . “probably have i oorywerig geraak, but that has been very bevrydend.

 

“its just not the pop star-thing to do . but if you already kaal ­appear have, what else are you have you to hide?â€

 

with idol has its life change.

 

“i did overnight my academic-status someone that ’a ­million-pound-enterprise manages. it has been ’a llife changing and learning experience. .â€

 

young says he has the past five years being taught to live his life and ’needed a balance to find.

 

“as you older , are you thinking ­less to fame. i am not chasing it no longer so and spend more time to that at enjoying life.

 

“i am doing now things what i never formerly were to have done . and i appreciated myself, and the hard work what i have done i apprieciate more.

 

“i am very fortunate with where i my find myself . creatively speaking i am in a ­interesting place and i enjoy what i am doing. in my personal life goes it also before the wind.â€

 

he has then also decide to have with the video for the “switch it on†what was filmed in cape town . i did especially the homo-erotiese enjoy!

 

 

“a sense new phase in my life begins.â€

 

young come strong after when he tell of its plans. after his performances in south-africa he two weeks with the gorillas in ­gaboen pass. afterwards goes he home to prepare for his role in the royal exchange-theatre in a production of noel coward play the vortex.

 

“i am my happiest when i am doing different things. i get frustrated i must do enough to keep busy.â€

 

the crowning glory of its career thus far has been the time he spent in cuba making a ’a music video , and then flew to Los Angles for the introductory of mrs. henderson presents.

 

“i did the best time had and should myself pinch. it has been really surreal in the chaos of the years before when i lost my perspective . it has been good that i can regain it .

 

Musically i am a little bit perplexed; thus will my next album must wait while i taste a little life.

 

I am going to approach it has if i am a new artist making a first album. i need to get excited as i am thinking what form to accept. but at this time i am somewhat complexed.

 

The relaxing stage in which young finds himself and if his earlier material is an indication of what we can expect it to be , this star will even greater get.

Thanks BYM&M's

 

Love the title. Will does tend to think out loud. I think that's the reason why he somestimes comes across as contradictary.

 

Although we have to wait a while for album 4 I'm sure he is bursting with creativity & his need to keep busy should ensure plenty of exciting projects for us to enjoy. :yahoo:

 

 

shows how manure he is

 

Is this a typo by you or is it the other meaning?

Thanks BYM&Ms - the translations are great aren't they :lol: We are getting really spoilt with all these reports.

 

I wonder if he did stay out there then. Hope O/S give us updates so we know what he's up to. B)

I'm rather hoping it's meant to say mature rather than manure Dot :o :D

 

Awww, thanks for this, I love what the translation does to some of the words but I think I'm right in saying this is a really nice interview :)

STAR STRUCK AND RAIN SOAKED

 

What is it about big- name concerts in Durban and the rain? Every time we get a touring act here, the floodgates open. However, despite the downpour, the Unite of the Stars concert was not a complete washout.

 

Shayne Ward, Will Young, Bananarama, Ronan Keating, Marcos Hernandez and even opening act Little Sister managed to keep the crowd entertained enough to stay, despite the rain.

 

But there were other things against it. The last minute venue change from the Suncoast Amphitheatre to Absa Stadium meant poor organisation - queues, confusion and delays - which naturally upset quite a few people.

 

The opening acts, especially Poseletso, Idols 2 runner up, really got things off to a banging start, singing the South African classic, Mama Thembu's Getting Married Tonight.

 

The night's first biggish name, Marcos Hernandez, performed trademark ballads, If You Were Mine and The Way I Do, and added impromptu versions of Shakira's Hips Don't Lie and several other popular tracks.

 

Bananarama were huge in the 80s, responsible for unleashing a string of pop gems, so for many, seeing them onstage was quite a nostalgic moment. I never thought I'd ever hear Robert de Niro's Waiting or Cruel Summer live, by the original artists in 2006.

 

Will Young clearly shared my unapologetic joy and couldn't resist joining them on-stage showing off a few dance moves - to the delight of the crowd. Speaking of the original UK Idols winner, he, along with Ronan Keating, had a longer set (15 more than the 30 minutes allocated to the others) - and rightly so. Apart from his signature hits Light My Fire, Your Game and Leave Right Now, he also had a ball singing Venus, the song Bananarama covered, complete with their (campy) dance routine. At one point he even caught a bra on his foot, kicked it around and said, "I'm not sure what to do with this . . . the story of my life."

 

The best bits included his singing out the names of his band and crew, giving them their well-deserved moment in the spotlight and a quick version of Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head . . . just for us poor sodden fans. And while no actual drops fell on his head, we still applauded. Shayne Ward, who came on before Will Young, was unexpectedly well received. I'm thinking more for his looks than his voice, which, although it was pretty decent, certainly wasn't extraordinary.

 

He wowed the crowds with songs from his debut album, including That's My Goal, No Promises and a rousing performance of KC and JoJo's classic ballad All My Life.

 

The final set belonged to Ronan Keating who put on a great show, proving his critics (including me) wrong. He can sing and he does it well. Just not when he adds that annoying fake lisp.

 

The biggest drawback, however, was Renee Olstead. Not because she was bad. On the contrary, she gave one of the best performances that night. The problem was no one noticed. And I don't blame them. Whose idea was it to sandwich jazz from a largely unknown singer in the middle of a pop concert? It just didn't work.

 

Despite that and the shoddy set-up (20-minute breaks in between acts during a downpour is not on) the concert was still the most fun Durbs has been offered in a while.

 

 

Lovely review :dance:
