Never mind all this Gareth & Hayley chat (I can't see it myself but you never know) - what did everyone think of the concert.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and it confirmed my opinion that Will is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best singer.

Thought Korben, Aaron and Jessica did really well, moved around very confidently and sang great - Aaron especially. Thought Laura sang flat and didn't do herself justice. Rosie was still trying to be Mariah Carey and, again, was off key a few times.

Hayley was tremendous - lot of stage craft and sang like a true trouper. Zoe is getting more confident (if that's possible!) but needs to choose her songs carefully. Her version of 'Get Happy' though was stunning.

Darius - what can you say - the man is a STAR! He has a beautiful, soulful voice and obviously enjoyed every minute.

Gareth - thought his best song was 'Mack the Knife' - he really did justice to a classic song. I'm getting tired of 'Unchained Melody' I'm afraid, and don't think it's a good song for him - but hey, over a million people thoght otherwise so what do I know?

Will - the man didn't put a foot wrong - hit all the right notes, sang like a professional and looked as though he is still trying to believe it's all happening. What a nice guy; modest, personable, good looking and talented to boot - the man has it all.

I really enjoyed the whole show and thought it was great.
