I have had a busy couple of weeks which I am compiling at the moment into blog posts. One on the amazing Take That, one on a piece I wrote last year for the Chichester Observer, one on Guns in the Afternoon a Western film club. I think that's it but obviously I'll stagger the posting don't want to give away too much at once do I.
So first of all I thought I would do a brief piece on Glee. I saw it at the O2 at the end of June and it was amazing! All the gang were there and they performed for just over an hour which was a bit of a disappointment. They came out to Don't Stop Believing and did hit after hit, such as Slave 4 U, River Deep, Mountain High and Kurt and the girls did the Single Ladies dance.
Amber Riley (Mercedes) and Naya Rivera (Santana) have amazing voices, they can hit the right notes and have voices that can fill the whole of the O2 two fold.
Of course Lea Michelle (Rachel) has an amazing voice and I really think she would be a great Elphaba in Wicked. Really though I think it is a shame they didn't do Light up the World or Thriller/Heads will Roll. As they are some of the best songs over the two seasons.
The Warblers and Blaine made an appearance and although I didn't like them in the show (they freaked me out a bit) he was excellent live, such a great voice that it's a shame he doesn't get to sing more in the show.
Unfortunately Gwyneth Paltrow, Mr Schuh or Sue were there although there were videos of Mr Schuh and Sue which were hilarious.
Of course I have to save the best until last Brittany S. Pears (Heather Morriss) had comic timing to the second and when you see her dance live you can see how she has had a great career as a dancer on the I am.... Sasha Fierce World Tour with Beyonce, phenomenal.
Not as in depth as some gig reviews but Glee Live!
