Bit disapointed, because they are usually good live.”


I didn't see the full set, only Brick and Misery Business (live streaming), wanna see the whole set though. Hayley's voice is pretty poor at the moment, though I think it's because her voice is changing again. I reckon in a few months/possibly a year it'll be really good again.

Glad to hear they're touring the UK again though, really wanna get tickets missed them when they played brighton & wembley in december.

a link to the full set would be appreciated...don't know where it is.

Ahh yeah, I hope it gets stronger soon. I mean, she has some great lungs, but sometimes her performances are a bit dodgy!

I'm not sure where you can watch the whole set, I was watching it live on the website. Though I stopped after a while, there was some tuning issues!

I think they opened with Looking Up... I was hoping they would get right into it with Ignorance, though their performance of that later on was good!

When are they coming back?

they didn't say when hayley just said that they would be coming back soon. I thought they'd have done the only exception seeing as it's the current single. Apparently they're releasing Careful next.


I noticed her voice changed between All We Know Is Falling & RIOT! Brand New Eyes was recorded late 2008 so her voice was still in the RIOT! era (she'd have been 19/20 at the time of recording) Now she's 21 her voice is changing again. Plus it doesn't help that their management are putting them on tour plus tons of other performances here and there, travelling all over the place, (I know it's what they do, but I don't think her voice has enough time to recover etc).

It makes me think that this is the reason they've never performed All I Wanted live...Not sure whether right now she could hit the notes.

Yeah, you can tell they've been on tour for a good year! The break between Riot and Brand New Eyes wasn't even that long tb... and I always forget she is 21, she seems so much older! Haha.

They did The Only Exception later on in the set. Glad they are releasing Careful, fantastic song - but please guys, take a break to relax!!

Yeah, I don't think she would be able to. And tbh, I wouldn't want to see her not get that note cause it gives me goosebumps when I hear it on the CD.

Omg it gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it, it still does...especially that massive note in the middle. I'd kill to be able to do that!

They didn't break for 2 years or more. They made the album (RIOT!), released singles, made videos, did festivals all over the world, toured with Jimmy Eat World, toured on their own, toured with new found glory, while writing for the 3rd, took a little bit of time of but not enough really, then did the final riot tour...no wonder they ended up hating each other by the end of it. they lived in each other's pockets. Plus they were only young.

I'm glad they sorted themselves out though. I have to admit, they don't seem to have the same energy as they used to...compare their Final Riot concert (dvd) to any performances they've done recently (including recent tour footage on youtube), they don't seem as 'into it' as they used to, despite liking each other again.


the only break they took was when they went out to live with rob cavallo for a while (though the reason for that was to make Brand New Eyes). Don't know if you've seen the footage of them making the album on youtube...but they look quite relaxed, despite working on an album.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Shame really. I think after they have done this album they should take a good year/year and a half off to do other things, and then write the next album. Maybe spend time away from each other lol.

I think Ignorance is my favourite song by them though. The honesty in those lyrics is I think... I dunno, beautiful in a way. I can't describe it, but I can certainly relate to it! Hayley is a great lyricist.

Well at least Cheryl actually performed live, I can't believe JLS were actually pretending those autotuned vocals on The Club Is Alive were coming from them live on stage!

The order of acts really made no sense - Florence headlining, WHY!? Faithless & Alicia Keys were far more worthy from yesterday's acts surely.

Oh and what was Joe McElderry doing there, he wasn't on the line-up? ”

He was added at the last minute to perform at the Live Lounge and do various interviews through the day. Brilliant he was here because his versions were fantastic!

Yeah ignorance is powerful, lryic-wise. they were really shocked when she took the lyrics back to them though...I would be too, to be honest. i'm glad she wrote that song otherwise they'd have split. that song 'saved' them, I guess.


Hayley & Josh are a great writing team. Misguided Ghosts is absolutely stunning. I cried the first time I heard it.

Haha yes, thank god she wrote it! They have alot of talent, it would have been a shame if they had split.

And yes, Misguided Ghosts! One of the highlights of that album.

On a completely different note - I hope next year Avril Lavigne does some festivals. She's never really done any.

I genuinely don't think there is a bad song on BNE (or any of their albums). I cried when I first heard the only exception too

I'm not really a massive Avril fan, but it would be cool if she did some festivals. She writes really good sad songs.

That's if she ever get's round to finishing the album. October is the current release date (rumour). I was excited last autumn when we found out she had been writing and producing songs on her own, but all the waiting has been too much. So her doing festivals seems a long way off at the moment.

She did Big Weekend in 2004, Derry.

It's annoying when artists take too long between albums isn't it..particularly when they push the date back (I'm thinking Lady GaGa's 'Telephone' video here)

You cry alot. Haha I'm joking.. i do love that though, when a song can have such an effect on you!

Haha, I'm a huge Avril fan.. I think she would fit in quite well at the Big Weekend!

Kesha is on in a minute... I don't have very high hopes.

Yeah, she has taken bloody ages! I think it will have good results though, my excitement isn't lost. Theres alot more music coming out to keep me happy until Avril.

You mean Avril did a big weekend?! I did not know this!!

I'm a blubber Especially with a really good sad song. I'd been feeling so alone/down for about 2 and 1/2 years...but tried to convince myself and those around me that I was ok...Then I heard Misguided Ghosts...and completely broke down because I felt it had my name written all over it. I don't cry listening to it anymore because I'm ok now, but it's a bit bittersweet. I think maybe that's why it's one of my favourite songs, because it had that effect on me, strangely.

There's a few more. Not her greatest vocal performance, but she was going for the 'rockier' voice back then.

Aw, it's weird when a song comes out that reflects exactly how you feel. But it's a great connection. I love music so much.

Haha thanks.. I just youtubed them myself and I agree, deffo not a highlight on the vocals. She's so much better now... but I can't believe that was 6 years ago already.

Yeah, But she still sounds better than most of the female vocalists from this year.

Haha that's true. I'm hoping when she comes back that she fits in though. Whatever with all this electronic rnb stuff... which I do enjoy, but I hope she won't sound too irrelevant.

Hopefully her new album will do what Let Go did.

Well it's a risk but im glad she is going down a more acoustic rock route.

The setlist from big weekend 2004 was pretty good, can't see her ever playing Unwanted, Losing Grip and Take Me Away like that again.

Unfortunately.

But yeah the acoustic/rock route will be good I think. Though to be honest, I'll probably stick by her no matter what she does XD
