Posted June 25, 200916 yr "Like we were told by a secure source, there will be done little changes for the upcoming concerts. Not just the show will become crazier now and then primarily the end will be reorganised. Maybe already on todays concert at HMV Apollo in London you will be able to see the result - so stay tuned!"

June 27, 200916 yr Author The four-year break that preceded Anastacia Newton's current release, Heavy Rotation, has exacted a price. Where once the 20m-selling New Yorker would have expected a top five position in the album charts, she has had to settle for a dispiriting No 17, and it's a sole gig at Hammersmith Apollo rather than two nights at Wembley Arena when she plays London these days. Is she fazed? Not a bit. As she says toward the end of this long, vibrant show, she is so charged up that she doesn't know "what to do with this energy". In the preceding two hours, she has propulsively danced with a fan, revisited nearly 20 songs from her four albums and been generally irrepressible - but still she ploughs on, projecting such forcefulness that it's draining to watch her. At length she asks: "Are you guys sick and tired of me yet?" Forcefulness is Anastacia's stock in trade. She's a pop-soul belter of the old school, blasting out ballads and dance numbers with equal vigour. If it's subtlety you want, look elsewhere, but for straightforward, good-hearted entertainment, she's the go-to girl. The key to her appeal - other than those remarkable lungs and a catalogue full of top 30 singles - is her approachability. You can imagine Mariah Carey roaring out a bathetic tearjerker like You'll Never Be Alone, but you certainly can't picture her following it by sardonically musing: "Who am I? Just a crazy girl who wore glasses and became famous?" And while it's probably de rigueur for a diva gig to feature a male model who strips to his pants, climbs into a bathtub and proceeds to swing from ropes suspended from the ceiling, only Anastacia would reward him by calling over her shoulder: "You are the weakest link. Goodbye." Every coin has its flip side, though, and Anastacia's is a weakness for power ballads. You'll Be Fine is dedicated to her stepchildren and is accompanied by sepia footage of gambolling toddlers. As if that's not enough, she allows her guitarist to perform a long, irony-free rock solo on I Belong to You. The uptempo pop-dance tunes are much more fun. On the tense I Thought I Told You That, she and her female backing singers nearly come to mock-fisticuffs (no prizes for guessing who wins the fight), and the 2001 hit Paid My Dues is so powerful you're swept along. As the show winds down, texts start to arrive in the audience with rumours about Michael Jackson's death. Obviously unaware, Anastacia ends triumphantly with her signature hit, I'm Outta Love. Her next show, one can't help but think, will be a less joyous but still memorable experience. • At NIA, Birmingham, tomorrow. Box office: 0844 338 8000. Then touring.
