Boyzone @ Wembley Arena
Had an awesome lie in today. Weather is crappy so I don't feel like I wasted it. But woah, it's taken me two hours to catch up with f-list since I've not had time to read much of it this week . Hopefully I'm all commented out now.
Anyway been meaning to post these even though I know no one will comment as I don't think anyone else here is a fan. For my own reference I gives you....
^ Mikey :D I wish he was allowed to be the lead singer on more of their songs on official release, he's a great singer on tour.
^ They did an awesome tribute to Queen. :D
^ Ronan sang Time After Time beautifully.
^ Taking a leaf out of Take That's book. Make sure the people at the back get some action by putting a stage in the middle of the arena and get out amongst the crowds. It really does make it feel much more intimate and fun :D
^ I thought this tour was even better than last years. Better stage design, better performance, they wholeheartedly admit that they aspire to match Take That. After all that is how they were created back in the 90s as Ireland's answer to Take That. The biggest difference however - aside from TT having a much broader fan audience (at least since their comeback they have) - is that Boyzone do not have a writer within their rank. It's very hard to compete with the hit factory that is Gary Barlow. Boyzone are working on a new album - if that is successful - they will be able to tour again. I really hope it is but they are gonna have to find a Barlow equivalent to work with them on the songs.
Talking of TT, they just started their UK tour last night - I'm torn between wanting to know what the reviews are like and finding out too much before I see it myself in July.
ETA: meant to post, Michael Jackson and/or Boyzone fans watch this. I can't decide if the dancing displayed here is sexy or just plain hysterical (wait for it about 37 secs in) - you decide...
