Saw her last night... she was frigging amazing! She has amazing stage presence and her voice is fantastic, such an amazing night.
She did a hour and 45 minute set (roughly) with all the album tracks aswell as Seventeen and 'new' song Jealousy, which I think the demo of is on Youtube.
But yeah, amazing night.

^ Sounds like it was good fun! I'd love to see her live sometime. Were there many people there? What did they have in the line of merchandise?

Two styles of short sleeve t-shirts (I picked one up), a bag, poster, face gems. As per the website really.
Agree with James, she was amazing. Really powerfull voice, loved the dress she was wearing after the first costume change, v. sexy
Don't know if it was just me though but man the level on the drums, particularly for the support act where it pretty much drowned out the singer, was loud. Maybe it's just my age!

Cocknbull kid, she was really good but as the poster above said the band drowned her out too much, but she definitely has potential to do well, a really nice voice, her song Mexico was really good.

'New' song? I first heard that song over a year ago and loved it, was so upset it wasn't on the album! Will she be putting it on her next one?

Thats why I put 'new'
She did ask the crowd shall i put this on my next album and she got a good response, so its possible. It was fantastic live, it seemed a lot more rock(ier) that the Youtube version.

Maybe that's the version that'll be on the next album. Has Shampain charted at all??
It's a shame Shampain didn't do that well. I really like Marina, and I hope that she soon gets the success that she deserves.
The Family Jewels is one of the albums where I actually like every song on it.

I know, I was referring to the fact that she presumably referred to it as 'new'.
Ooh, I'd like to hear this new version! I loved the old one but that was just a demo. It's a shame Shampain didn't do much better, that was one of my favourite songs from the album.

It is a good song, one of my faves too
Is it just me or does it remind anyone of Abba?
