Ok here goes!!!!!!!


We were seated right up in the gods, not very good me who's terrified of heights!!!!!!

Zoe came on and started the show really well, she's very talented and a good mover. But why has she gone pop? Her swing and slow songs suit her voice so much better. I hope she does more of a variety on her album.

Saying that though, she was good and looked very professional, it was just a shame the sound was so awful, we couldn't make out words, just the general sound.

I'm not going to talk about Gareth, sorry.

Will appeared on the stage and the quality of the night jumped tenfold. He is a true star, and his voice was amazing despite the poor sound. I heard every word and "You And I" brought tears to my eyes. He was incredible to watch, his talent has just increased with time. And he is totally gorgeous!

The finale was right in front of us, and we got to see Will and Gareth quite close up. But the sound was awful, to be honest I'd have prefered to see them further away and be able to hear them sing!

The Long And Winding Road is a very good song, probably the best Gareth has done, and it was a shame to have it spoiled by technical problems.

The main problem I had about the night was the ridiculous price of merchandise. A mug with a picture of Will on was £15! A little beaded bracelet was £12! i'm not made of money and had to save up so we could go to the concert, and it was a shame we couldn't buy something decent to remember it by. (We did get badges, of Will and Zoe but Graeme's badge had already broken by the time the concert finished!)

All in all, it was a great night. Will stood out above the others by a long way, and I can't wait to see him when he tours on his own.
