TR252

I haven’t seen Leona single live for ages - what happened?! I mean, she’s sounds ok, but her voice is notably weaker and quite thin sounding? One More Sleep is still great though!

I’m gutted about this. I was supposed to be going tomorrow night and I can’t make the new date. :(

I was obviously not observant enough, although my friend and I were chatting and getting excited whilst drinking a bottle of wine so that probably played a part. :D

Thinking about it, it wouldn’t surprise be if they had made plans for Michelle to appear on the tour somewhere but cancelled them due to them being in a Covid bubble.

First thoughts - Claire’s VOICE!!! :o she sounded phenomenal tonight. Absolutely fantastic show. Couldn’t really see any extra cameras, my voice hurts from singing… Faye is just fantastic, absolutely my favourite member of Steps. No Michelle Visage.

Oh dear it’s like a revolving door. I hope Lee is ok and gets well soon!

Yes I was wondering about filming, will keep an eye out for extra cameras. Really hoping Michelle makes an appearance too!

Faye has just announced she is back tonight!! :D So happy as I'm going!

She has said in her interview with Zane Lowe that she won’t be performing that one life unfortunately.

Well, I’m really enjoying the album so far. For me, it’s been more instant than 25 was - I struggled to connect with that album more than this one. I think there’s definitely some career highs in some of these songs. The last 3 of the album are all exceptional.

It surprises me that Lee doesn’t get more lines, even on their newer stuff he seems to have the least vocals. I actually prefer his voice to H’s - perhaps Fayes lines don’t sit comfortably in his vocal range though to cover them.

Gutted, she is my fave! Oh well, health is more important than a Steps concert, I hope she is ok. Although hopefully the others don't test positive following this as that would probably be the end of the tour.

Oh no! I have totally lost track of what the rules are now but if she has only just tested positive, won't she be away for at least 10 days? Which is basically the rest of the tour?

Holy SHIT imagine being able to sing like that.

I’ve only listened to I Drink Wine so far but I love it. I can’t get over Adele’s talent of articulating through song such relatable thoughts and feelings. Just stunning. So excited for her album on Friday, it’s great to have her back.

True! I am very excited for both acts. Also happy Steps come on at 8:30pm which means the evening won’t be too late - am I getting old? :lol:

Thank you - this is sort of the times I was expecting. I saw Sophie at Manchester Pride in August and she was great. I know her hits but I was surprised at how much of the set I knew, although there’s quite a few covers in there.

I am loving this album. Fly As Me is the standout track for me, great bassline. I’m not so familiar with Anderson Paak’s music but what I really like about Bruno is that his album are fairly concise, there isn’t really any filler and it is the same with this. It knows what it is and does the job very well. Would love to see them perform it live.

Could anybody please let me know rough stage times for Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Steps? Seeing them at ths 02 on 27th Nov but I have a birthday to attend in the afternoon so trying to figure out my travel plans across London and when would be best to arrive.

Hardly rubbish. WTH and HTNGU are fine songs but they’re nowhere near the best of her output over the years. HAW is great but Bite Me has the punch I love from an Avril lead single.

Her best lead single since Girlfriend. What a tune! I think her vocals are perhaps a little too auto tuned but I can get past that, this is a banger. It reminds me a little of a b-side from The Best Damn Thing called Alone.

I am going to the 02 on 27th November. :) Very excited as I haven't seen them since their reunion tour in 2012.

I really like Mood Ring - looking forward to hearing the full album. I always much prefer listening to Lorde's albums from beginning to end rather than random songs.

Just got tickets in the presale :cheer:

I'm really intrigued by her description of her album, but no less excited. I liked Solar Power on first listen but it's really grown on me even more, I find myself returning to it a few times a day and the video is lovely. Praying I'm successful in securing tour tickets!
