    Last night I saw Ariana Grande at Manchester on her Honeymoon Tour. She was amazing . That Girl can sing and the packed Arena was in meltdown. Her set was short compared to others but she sang all her hits and she put on quite a show. Rixton was good as well as the warm up act.

    When did you see LeAnn? I've seen her in concert two times and then I got to meet her when I went to my one and only CMA Music Festival in Nashville in 2000 though it went by the name Fan Fair at the time. September of 1997 and July of 2006 is when I saw her sing. :):):)

    God bless you and her always!!! :):):)

    Holly (a day one fan of LeAnn)

    Gosh. I saw LeAnn in Glasgow about 10 years ago. She was very good. She wasn't really promoting anything specific, she was just doing a handful of UK tour dates.

    At The Albert Hall? I was asked if I wanted to go, but never went. A friend of mind who did subsequently said "10CC were surprisingly enjoyable, so much so that I'd even go again!" :D

    I know. Must admit I had a few misgivings before I went as I hadn't realised when I'd booked the ticket that only Graham Gouldman was in the group currently 'touring' but actually it didn't matter ultimately. Performances were sound - some of the musicians had been in the group from the first incarnation - and each writer to each track was credited so was clearly done with everyone's blessing. In fact Kevin Godley was hologrammed in to do a solo.:D Guess it also helps that GG had a hand in writing my particular favourites. Yeah, glad I went.:p

    First concert I went to was Five Star 1987 Ultrabite Tour(was about 11/12). It was in London can't remember where but wasn't Wembley. Last one I went to was Girls Aloud at the O2 a couple of years ago. In between I've seen Luther Vandross, Madonna, Celine Dion, Take That, Bryan Adams, Dolly Parton. :)
