Ok, so, because I'm the only one of my mates who can drive and borrow a car, I was given the job of taxi the other day, to a concert in ASDA car park (bear with me, I know it sounds weird!)
It's this ASDA in Gateshead in the good ol' north of east, and it's massive, so they put on a thing for Children in Need, with people like Atomic Kitten, Sugababes, Daniel Bedingfield etc.
Also, they had Aaron (Pop Idol) Bailey - who was fantastic, and certainly gave Gareth a run for his money by doing "Suspicious Minds" with confidence, conviction, and well, a voice that could carry it off (sorry Gareth fans!)
To the point....Jonny was there, and every now and then you could see him jumping up from behind this fence, trying to see over, which was quite funny. We thought he was there to help Dr Fox (yes, Dr Fox was there, and yes, he quite scares me!) to present it, but he was there to SING (I forgot he sung)
Anyway, I just wanted to say how totally amazing he was - he really blew me away, and I didn't think he'd be very good at all. He did "Let me Entertain you" with his brother (?) and then did "I will talk and Hollywood will listen", which he sang beautifully - I nearly cried (and I'm ashamed to say it) and me and my mates where just standing there gobsmacked.
I also loved the fact that, despite the 'headlining acts' like Hearsay, Atomic Kitten (who got Jonny on stage to take Tash's part in "The tide is high" - very amusing watching him trying to dance!) and others, Jonny got the biggest roar of the night, and they were chanting for him all night as well - he looked so happy at his reception.....
He also did 30 seconds silence for Firefighter's day (which I didn't know it was yesterday - just a sidenote!)
Anyway, just wanted to share that with you - he stood 50 metres and a small child on someones shoulders away, and my mate has met him at a signing, without telling me he was doing one!
The cheek!
