Default Pop Idol concert - I WENT!!!!!

Hi guys!!!
Last week I went to the Pop Idol concert and I thought it was wicked. For those of you that are interested I'll do a review of the concert (IM STILL EXCITED NOW!!!) I know Feefs has done a really good review too!

I went to see the concert at the Birmingham NEC!
I went there with my twin sister and my older sister who is 23; it was originally just going to be me and my twin but looking at the size of Birmingham, we wouldnt have coped! Its soooo busy!
As you can imagine, going from Plymouth to Birmingham is a looooooong trip so we were pretty knackered when we arrived by train at about 4!
We managed to get to our guest house and got ready for the concert! There was a few problems - what do you wear to a concert?! Smart, casual

We eventually got ready and got a taxi to the arena.

It was massive when we got inside. We got a programme which cost £10!!!! (if any of you who didnt go want me to type up their interviews just let me know!) and we diodnt take a camera cause they were searching bags - I was a bit gutted we didnt though cause once the concert started, every one had their cameras out!
Anyway, it didnt take that long for the concert to start. I went to the toilet and as I was queueing, I heard loadsa screams!! I thought it had started so I legged it back to my seat but realised the crew were just teasing people by putting up Pop Idol pictures on the big screens.

Anyway, the concert finally started and Nicki Chapman came out to introduce it. That was a nice suprise cause I thought she was only doing the Wembley shows so she talked for a while and also told us that this particular show was being filmed so we shoud scream and smile for the cameras (i imagine its gonna be put onto a video or the tv.)
Korben came out first and he was surprisingly really good. He sang Freedom & he got the crowd really going.
One by one, they all came out in order they were evicted from the show. Jessica has a fantastic voice and Laura was a good entertainer but you could tell she didnt have the strongest of voices. Aaron was also really good, he knew how to talk to the crowds and also Rosies voice is gorgeous, it was so weird listening to it in the arena and not on tv!
Hayley was good but looked pretty nervous but I figured this was cause she was in front of her home town. Zoe was fab, snging the Aretha Franklin song. She had been my fave in the show along with Will so it was fab to see her and she really was born to perform!
Darius came out and he was really good; I wasnt too keen on him during Pop Idol but he was cool to watch and he was a fab entertainer!
Then came Gareth. As you can imagine, he got ALOT of screams from the girls but looking around, you could tell he appealed to a more younger audience. A line of 10 year olds were sat next to me and they were screaming their hearts out for Gaz. He was quite good but like already said, he couldnt really rise above the cheers, his voice wasnt as strong.
He also did a duet with Zoe, a Mariah Carey one and it was lovely. He was on the piano and their voices worked really well together but I think by this time, every one was waiting for THE Pop Idol!!

Nicki came out and said, 'Now, the moment you have all been waiting for....'
Will then appeared in a silhouette at the top of the steps with his head bowed. Flames appeared on stage and the music to 'Light my fire' came on. He did some dance moves which looked really effective with the music and then he turned his head to the camera, by this point the arena was silent, but the crowds erupted and every one went wild. He smiled one of those smiles and people were goin mad
He was absolutely fantastic and I am not being bias. He was in a completely different league to the others. He was talking to the audience and when Evergreen was sang, I rang my friend from my mobile cause she is obsessed by Will and she said that hearing it from her bed room, he sounded amazing.
He was funny, sweet, stunning and most importantly his voice was just...fantastic!!!!!!

I wont go on to talk about the Big Band stuff cause Feefs has already done a fantastic review. I'll just say that it was equally as good and again, Will was fab. So was Gareth and Zoe and Hayley.
Anyone who didnt go, should buy the video cause its well worth it.
From going to that concert, I can tell that Will is going to be a BIG star!!!!

LEE, didnt you go to the concert? What did you think of it
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
