Manchester Review

25/5/08 MEN Arena Manchester

What can I say Shayne Never fails to amaze me

Got to Manchester about two went to hotel dumped our stuff then went staright down to the arena in the hope of meeting Shayne. He was late lol and didnt have time to stop im guessing so just got a wave from the car love the huge grin on his face when he sees the fans waiting for him. Im sure if he had the time he'd come out. Was nice meeting everyone then some for the 1st time others I've met before. Think it came to about 6.15 didced to headback to the hotel and get changed me and me sister were talking about the show what we think would happen and stuff we were so excited.

Went and brought merchindice the guy was laughing because i said "just put everything in a bag I want it all" dont think he thought i was being serious but what can I say had to be done.

Support acts were rubbish apart from destiny they were the only one's that really got the crowd going jumping up clapping hands singing along fab girls. Nearly fell asleep watching the other's lol

About 8.45 lights went out and the whole arena just jumped out of their chairs and screamed their heads off amazing atmosphere throat still hurts now lol. Then there he was Shayne the man i've been waiting to see for months finally in front of me doing what he does best also looking incredibly gorgeous as always. Fab song to start with the crowd were just getting more and more excited as the night went on highlights for me where definatly melt the snow, breathless and I did like the reggae set surprisingly he did it so well. I showed the video to my dad of him doing that he now wished he went just to hear that lol!

Flying in the air well what can I say a magical moment my tissue was very wet by the time that finsihed (thank god I had some lol) cried my eyes out I felt so proud god knows what his mum must of felt. I truly belive Shayne is here to stay .

What a fantastic night so pleased I was their

Sheffield Review

Date: 16th May 2008
Venue: Sheffield Arena. South Yorkshire.
Support Acts: Anusha and Stone Foxx

Anusha came on stage around 7:30pm I wasn't really paying attention. I have her track Have It All on her myspace page and I really liked it so was kind of looking forward to hearing it in a live environment. To be honest I don't reckon much to her has a solo artist but she really tried to entertain everyone and she was much better then last's year Roxanne.

Stone Foxx - pure cheese pop songs, but possibly could grow on you. These girls were energetic and really tried to get the crowd worked up splitting the arena into three sections to get the loudest cheers got everyones voices worked up ready for Shayne. Certainly entertaining.

The lights came back on and at around 8:45pm it went dark and it was time to welcome Shayne on stage.
Shayne came onto the stage and opened the concert with Tell Him with the live orchestra which was absoluty breathtaking and he couldn't have opened it anybetter. The outfit with the leather trousers and themark was a fantastic outfit to wear. Let's just say I would have loved to be the ones to help pull those trousers off for the costume change.  Next came Some Tears Never Dry and his vocals where just simply amazing making sure he entertained the crowd throughout.
Sexing the show up with She Wants to Move was absoluty outstanding and I was glad to be 2nd row to witness this song. Apologize was next and OMG. I had heard it on Youtube prior to me going to the show but to be actually stood in front of him listening to it was absoluty amazing he excelled on his vocals and showed what a artist he truely is and how diverse his voice is. Stand By Your Side/Tangled Up and Lady was next. I was very excited to here him sing Lady and he did not disappoint one bit - it was amazing.

During the concert he stopped to talk to the crowd and to thank each and everyone of us for the support we have shown him throughout his 2 and a half years he's been in the limelight - it was a really emotional message to his fans.

He sang No Promises and That's my Goal and the crowd, once again sang along to him just like we did over a year ago but this time it was extra special with the acoustic version of both songs. Truely outstanding.

You couldn't believe it got any better but it did. To see him sing Valerie was amazing - he was having so much fun with the tamborine and the female singer accompany that shared some vocals was outstanding.

You Make Me Wish and the army intro was just out of this world. The warm up video of Shayne in the barracks was amazing and then Shayne came out and it was just brilliant.

The fireworks that were part of the show were really hot and quite blinding to be honest lol but added to the show brillantly.

Shayne did a cover of Timbaland's song the Way I Are and the boys vs girls on stage was a great addition to the show.

The best part of the night of course was when Shayne came into the crowd during breathless it was absoluty amazing.

Next year or whenever the next concert is I will be doing 2 nights. Because once is simply not enough.
It is absoluty amazing to witness how far he has come in the last 2 and a half years. Shayne is a absolute star, so down to earth and friendly and will do anything for his fans which he proved in the Meet and Greet. If anything this Breathless Tour made me become a even bigger fan then ever before. Shayne knows how to entertain a huge audience and to show him taking out his ear piece to listen to all the screams that he was receving was absoluty outstanding - he is so thankful to each and every fan that has supported him throughout the career and he thanked us by putting that fantastic stage show on for us all. Those of you who have still got to see it you are truely going to be surprised at just what he does.

I will post pictures on here tomorrow.
