January 29Jan 29 Can only echo Rich (didn’t know she was there). While I’d have loved a longer set - and expected a longer set - I didn’t actually realise she’d only done 9 songs until I left because she filled it out so well and every song was its own event.Until last night as well, Balenciaga Covered Eyes was probably my least favourite of the 4 singles but I think it was the highlight of my night. It went OFF. Vocally flawless, stage presence locked IN. Properly stanning and excited to see her again in May at Hoopla.Justice for I Trance and LOVESONGS though. Especially the former which I’ve been waiting to see for so long and now probably won’t 😭

Especially the former which I’ve been waiting to see for so long and now probably won’t 😭Agreed about Balenciaga Covered Eyes, not paid it too much attention before now but it sounded amazing. What really impressed me was the way that the crowd made the Magic Still Exists singles feel like global smashes. On balance I prefer BEAUTIFUL MADNESS as a full album but there's no beating the highs of Fingers Crossed, 24 Hours, Here Comes the Night and Love and Appreciation for me, it was so great to hear those live. It is funny to pay as much attention to your previous album as the one out this week though, classic Agnes! Maybe she hasn't rehearsed LOVESONGS as it wasn't performed in Stockholm either but to cut I Trance feels a bit crazy, I'm sure the venue has a curfew of 11pm so there was plenty of time left.I got there so late that I ended up at the back right at the top, but despite that did have quite a good view and it wasn't too cramped there! I couldn't spot anyone I recognised in the vicinity apart from a couple of people from Eurovision Twitter. I've seen Cat Burns in that venue before and do like it, there's good viewing angles from all areas unless you end up behind loads of tall people (which there were but shoulder peeking through gaps came in useful and I'm six foot myself anyway). I left thinking I wish I could be half as cool as Agnes, she is a star.
