Yay, I will be here too. x

Well I am only writing a little review today, after my essay yesterday.

So I got there really late, bloody public transport.  I got in when Lucie was on, so I missed Lloyd, Jamie, Jedward and Danyls first song.  I really wanted to see if Lloyd improved on his first song but obviously I missed it.

My seats where a bit higher up then yesterday, but more in the centre, so the view was a bit better.

Lucie sounded better today, not so screechy.

Jedward still didn't sing, and still can't sing or dance for peanuts. 

So I missed a lot of the first half, but the second half is way better anyways. A few little kids left after Jedward had been on, like how rude.

After the interval it was Stacey with Queen of the Night, which sung better today, not so shouty. 

Again Danyl and Stacey were really good.  I was still not paying much attention to Olly.

I felt really emotional again when the winner's journey thing came on, and jumped out of my seat.

I am happy to say, I didn't black out in DSB or any other song today.  There really is something about seeing Joe live, he just sings amazing, really moving, kind of emotional in the slow songs, but makes you feel happy and proud too.

So yeah thats it, Joe was brillant again, still got the new hairstyle, and the show was still over far too quickly.

I am still annoyed that Joe doesn't speak to Jeff at the end, and the fact Jedward always leave the stage last.

I'll probably write my review tomorrow or the day after, if that's ok. I want to make a long one.

Look forward to it Laura. x

Thanks for the review!   Sounds like you had a great time again!  
Eee, I can't believe those kids leaving after Jedward had been on, that is rude, but never mind. They're the ones missing out on Joe.  
Anyway, thanks for posting. Reading it made me really excited for next week, lol.  

Yeah I look forward to reading it then Laura.

I nearly didn't go. I am so glad I went, though - I had a great time. With few exceptions I enjoyed everything more than expected. It was notable how much older Lloyd looked - and sounded actually,  The twins were - well, the twins but they were fun to see flying on wires overhead for Ghostbusters. It made me feel a bit like I was missing out on Joe getting so close for The Climb - but to be honest I never felt he looked comfortable with it and frankly thought it cheapened his performance so I'm glad they're not doing it anymore. Other performers that stood out for me were Stacey and Danyl (although, heaven knows I wish he would stop tossing that bleeding microphone. It only worked ONCE - in the audition!) Cheers were, I reckon loudest for Olly and Joe.
Joe was adorable as ever and gave an endearing little giggle as he described how  "it sounds like you're enjoying yourselves!". He performed effortlessly and just gets better and better. His ballads are beautifully emotional and he engages the audience with ease in the faster numbers. The only thing I would say is that I would like to see a little bit more spontaneity from him but that will come with experience and more confidence I hope.  He does have stage presence for such a little lad. To quote Prince (last time I was at 02) "I know I'm small - but so is dynamite!". The screaming "I love you" and "Marry me" from the girls in front of me while Joe was on made me laugh and added to the crazy atmosphere. It was all over far too quickly and I hope with all my heart that Joe is successful enough to make it back to this venue on his own tour. He totally thrives on the audience and when he enjoys it more, we enjoy it more. Go Joe!

@ Hubz Aww.. shame that you were a little late there, but so good that u had no blakout and could ejoy DSB !

@ Laura, I am looking forward seeing your review!

@ Sweetie: I am really happy for you that you decided to go to the tour and glad you were not disappointed

All these wonderful reviews make me so happy and sad at the same time! Love reading them, but soooo wish I could go!

Well, I was at the 02 last night and I thought the whole show was absolutely brilliant.
Joe, and I'm not being bias here, stole the show, and to be honest, I had tears in my eyes, throughout most of his performance which was over far too quick.
His stage presence and professional approach is amazing, and he has the crowd eating out of his hand.
It's a shame he wasn't on for longer. I would have loved to have heard him perform, "Dance With My Father" and "Open Arms".
He looked beautiful and his voice was absolutely flawless.
Olly was brilliant, and I found John and Edward very entertaining.
I wass wearing quite a unique Joe hoody, and got many looks from people and a few, "Where Did You Get That Hoody From" questions, and I replied, it is exclusive, and I felt very proud to have it.
I actually bought it on e.bay a couple of months ago.
For me, it was a wonderful day, over far too quickly, and I can't wait to see joe in concert, when he does it all himself, one day.
Our Joe, is a huge star in the making. I love him to bits and had the most fantasticc day.
Wonderful

Just changed it for you hooly

What a lovely report, so pleased you enjyoyed the show.  Joe certainly is the ultimate professional in all he does.

Interesting about the Hoody - if you could post us a pic of it so as to get an idea of an interesting design, we could, maybe sometime in the not too distant future, have our own unique ones for this site.  I know another star's site who have done this and it went down a storm - all the members can pick each other out easily when at gigs and meet up etc and advertise the site at the same time and any profit could go to a charity Joe supports etc.

Awww thanks for the review Sweetie and Paul.

I am so glad you both enjoyed your time at the show.

Sweetie - I am so glad you could get tickets and see Joe live, it is a brillant experience.

Paul - Glad you enjoyed the experience too, I agree it is quite emotional seeing Joe up there, deffo a bit of a teary moment.

It seems like in everyone's review we are agreed, that Joe should sing more songs, and his set is over far too quickly.  We are also really excited about Joe doing a solo tour, it just goes to show how good he is live.

pity that you got there a bit late Hubz, but atleast you still got to see Joe I'm sure you will have a great time when you go to Newcastle this Saturday
