I seriously sympathise! I'm not interested in any of the other acts either, and if it wasn't for the fact I love Aiden, the whole of the first half of the XFT would have been a wash out for me!

But my sister-in-law and friend are already going, so it seems too tempting to me not too....

Not going to that one, but I am taking my daughter to this one.

ETA I will be interested to see how some of these more "established" acts compare to Matt when it comes to live singing.

yes Aiden was the one exception for me too - I thought he was STUNNING. Really surprised me with his stage presence.

One word...Bliss

Totally agree about Aiden - the only one apart from Matt where I got a goosebumps moment. I liked "Maiden" during the XF but wasn't a huge Aiden fan from the show - he was a bit inconsistent for me. But the tour performance showed me what a stunning live performer he can be.

I was also impressed by Cher at the tour. Rebecca was the worst for me - I really just don't get her at all. However I suspect her album is going to be really good, if you like her sort of voice.

Lovely reports everyone... I'm so jealous!

I wanted to smell him today at HMV but my friend is on holiday, the other has tickets to Peter Kay and nobody else would come with me

I'd probably just make a fool out of myself anyway (remembering my phone call with him back in Feb

)

A great review

Matt will be on here soon!

They had the same amount of space allocated for both albums, but there was only 1 deluxe version of Matt's on the shelf whilst there was a lot of Noel's. Also, amongst the standard versions there was quite a few of Matt's gone, but Noel's looked pretty full. So either they had recently restocked NG's shelf or Matt is definitely outselling NG in the supermarkets. In a way that makes sense, as (this will sound sexist but it's true) women are more likely to be doing the weekly shopping and I suspect that Matt has a more female dominated fanbase than NG - so Matt is more likely to get the "impulse" sales than NG.”

He's #1 on Morrison's chart too

In fairness..to reach some of the notes that he does he can be excused his funny little faces..I agree they don't seem to be as keen as they were
