Will Young, Avalon Stage at Glastonbury, June 28th

The Pop Idol kicked off his summer festival shows at Glastonbury

Printer friendly version

 

 

As accepted as he is among music snobs of the critical and commercial worlds alike, it's still hard to imagine a Pop Idol winner going down well at Glastonbury.

 

But how he did, making forthcoming album even more eagerly-awaited, especially by the boyfriends who could at first be seen grimacing as their girlfriends grooved to Young's smooth tones only to be visible belting out Leave Right Now with a smile on their face by the end.

 

Wearing a pork pie hat, he belts onto the stage amid a rapturous reception, launching straight into One of a Kind, before he prefaces second album favourite Love is a Matter of Distance with some polite chatter - of course it was polite, it's Will Young!

 

"It's taken me six and a half years to get here, but I made it!" he shouts, and a later BBC interview with an enthusiastic Edith Bowman and a sceptical Zane Lowe reveals just how fervent a Glastonbury punter the Evergreen star has been, having attended the event for nine years.

 

So you can understand why he's so committed, being frightened to disappoint an audience at the same stage on which he saw Suzanne Vega's smart-arsed New York sounds, but after a swaggering Your Game and inviting the crowd back to his Winnebago for "a disco", it's clear that Will Young hasn't just won the hearts of the members of the British public who buy their records in Tesco, but also those who are happy to slate the exact type of talent show on which he made his name.

 

Leave Right Now is the most glorious and unlikely of singalongs and as the crowd filters away from the Green Fields stage, anxious for more, there's two feelings in the air - i)I hope he plays next year and ii)He couldn't deserve it more.

 

Lewis Bazley

 

So love the final paragraph. :D :D Think this year will be the first of Will's many visits to Glastonbury. :cheer:

 

What a wonderful review thanks for bringing it over TT :yahoo:

Awww that's a brilliant review, he deserves it as well and thanks for bringing it over TT. :D

Not sure whether to put this in here or News and Gossip:

 

NEW MUSIC FROM WILLIAM YOUNG!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the ever reliable XO, I now know that William Young performed some new music at the weekend at a little festival called Glastonbury. Above is the title track to his forthcoming fourth album Let It Go. Question - if in the USA, a second album is sophomore, does this make Let It Go William's Senior album>? I'm confused. Anyway, it's a gorgeous GORGEOUS laid back ballad that shows how far William has travelled since Pop Idol, yet stayed true to what made me love him in the first place - an elegance in his music both in vocal delivery and melodic beauty. The song itself deals with the point in life or relationships or whatever, where you just can't take it anymore and you either crack up or decide to move on. If I had to compare it, I would say it's a lovely second single reminiscent of All Time Love or the major Leave Right Now. There is a simply charming moment at 2.33 where William (practically smooching with the microphone) does this little smile that to me says "oh i'm back and i'm loving it".My anticipation for his album has never been higher...

 

Above these very words is a low quality video of William performing his not-in-any-way-the-same-song-as-gareth-gates-released comeback single Changes. Looking fairly chilled in a v neck plunge tshirt (pink if my eyes do not mistake me) and a dapper hat, the song is a summery jazz tinged soul tune that William does so very well. I am loving the crescendo chorus with the gospel choir - it washes over you like a warming wave of sea on a hot sandy beach. It really is quite lovely. And he just looks like he is having such a good time. Ah William. How i adore thee. Plus you just know that he practically ran off stage to hug Cathy Dennis and go for some high quality wineage

Thanks munchkin. The Glasto feedback is far better than I'd dared hope for. :D :D He's a very astute man is our William, our very own Man for all Seasons :wub: Hopefully now they'll stop trying to but him in a box. :P

Another convert then, once they've seen and heard him they do tend to all fall over like a row of dominoes. :lol:
