OMG had the most fun night tonight - the Idol concert was sooooo good! Everyone was excellent, and it was just soooo much fun! They did at least 40 songs, so I was very impressed with that - good stuff!
My recap...
The opening -everyone singing Robbie's awesome Let Me Entertain You -great way to start a concert!!! (As Mr Williams did himself!)
The young Matt - the formerly shy Matt who has spunked it up big time, and was excellent! He did a Linkin park song...and a kick arse version at that...who woulda thought (he always did kinda piss weak songs lol) and then a lovely rendition of Robbie's Angels...awwwww! I think I love matt chadwick! LOL!
Then the lovely pig farmer, Peter - who I think has a wonderful voice - sang Can't Buy Me Love - YAY! And then of course, his brilliant version of Burn For You - WOO HOO! Go Pig Farmer!
Then Cle...who I was a massive fan of during Idol..kinda let me down a teensy bit...just coz of her song choices...all a bit too funky...but still great! And YAY that she's got a single coming out!
Then the very quiet Lauren - who did a very fine version of Christina Aguilera's Fighter, followed by her very interestingly styled Imagine...she was SOOOOO GOOD!
Then Adelaide girl (cue screams..omg so annoying lol) Kelly/Rock Chick - who I LOVED during Idol coz she always did very cool songs...tonight was no exception - Evanescence's Bring Me To Life (and having seen them live a few weeks ago...gotta say she did it better than Evanescence lol) and No Doubt's 'I'm Just A Girl' - a song I ADORE!
Then another of my Idol faves, the lovely Bek - who looked sooooooooo pretty...Bek rules! Who did her song from the Idol album, and then Heading In the right direction...omg she does that song perfectly...makes me wanna cry!
Then..the low point...Levi. EEEK! He's good at what he does but RnB/rap/hip hop soooooo are not my thing. But omg EVERYONE there screamed for him...WHAT THE??? He did a Justin Timberlake song..which was good, then a really irritating one...but he does that stuff well. But GRRRR coz he friggin talks with an American accent!
Then the infamous (LOL) Millsy - who has totally won me over again...I was a big fan but then he irritated me, but I've now remembered why I liked him so much - that man is a born entertainer - does it soooo well! He did an AMAZING version of one of my fave songs, Bright Lights, and gotta say - seriously made it his own. Was perfect!
Then Paulini...who I was never a fan of...bit too into herself for my liking, but she does have a good voice - did great versions of Freeway of Love and The Voice Within.
Then Cosima's big return lol - putting on a big diva show with a big ballad to show she can sing again...YAY! Then did Unpredictable...which I have to say, I think she does better than Delta...it's a song on Delta's album that I loathe, but when Cosima does it...I kinda like it.
THEN SHANNON came on and omg I LOVE HIM! He's a total sweetie! LOVE HIM! He did a song from his new album, called Drive, which is very catchy and very cool, and tried to dance (not his strong point...but cute when he tries lol) and then a very lovely version of Better Be Home Soon...was great!!! AND his little strip dance before revealing he has the southern cross tattooed over his heart coz he loves Oz so much was ADORABLE!
THEN of course came home town hero Guy...after having the crowd chanting "Go The Fro" lol - very funny! BUt OMG ear piercing squeals galore! But good on him, I do like the little Fro loL! He did his new single - or as I like to call it, the channel 10 song, which I reallllllllly like (omg can't believe I admitted that!) and then Climb Every Mountain - an odd choice, but he does it fantastically...
so then we hit intermission...I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy! Loving it!
Second half started with everyone singing We Will Rock You - and all the boys looking very cool in their leather jackets loL...followed by Rob leading Superstition (A SONG I HATE...but was cool 2nite lol, the very funky Crazy In love, which I don't mind when Guy's singing it...with Bek and Paulini bopping along lol!
HMMMMM What else????????
OHHHHHHH then of course Courtney Act (Lou, if you're reading she's a (he's a?) drag queen who was an Idol...who is so cool!) came out in an over the top pink outfit...omg I want those legs...so unfair that a guy has those legs!...and did Kylie Minogue's I Should Be So Lucky (ohhh took me back to when I was 8 and adored Kylie lol) followed by a VERY BRILLIANT duet with Millsy....singing Kylie and Robbie's KIDS! YAY!
Then what...ohhhhhh that irritating Shut Up song...to poor old Dicko lol!
Followed by Shannon singing his NUMBER ONE HIT What ABout ME? with the entire crowd singing back!
then Guy doing a couple of songs, including a beautiful version of Angels Brought Me Here...omg I love that song!
And then the encore was a medley of songs...(the ones they did on the show grand final too) - like You're The Voice (YAY!), Shout, I Honestly Love You (very odd that the 2 guys do that tho lol).....and ummmmm other songs...ohhh I Still Call Australia Home (LOVE IT)...OMG IT WAS SOOOOOO FANTASTIC!
I can't wait for it to be on telly next week!
VERY HAPPY GIRL!
Bec xxx
then a fave of mine, Where Is The Love - with Bek and Matt...and ummm someone else lol...
Ohhhh then the love duet with Shannon and Cosima...Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For...lmao SHannon so looked like he was gonna giggle when he had to look at her lovingly and touch her...so cute!
