You beat me to it

Followed by cupcakes of course


Speaking of cupcakes I wonder what Joe's been up to today, apart from running along the beach and getting ready for his ski-ing trip

What an amazing year. From the best birthday ever at Lumley Castle in Feb to the most amazing 3 weeks in November finally arriving at the 02 in December to see my 1st ever ballet which I am not ashamed to admit I absolutely loved.
Thanks to you all for such brilliant memories. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.”

Best bits from 2011.

Well obviously all the shows I got to but the highlight of those was RFH. The entire day from the photoshoot through the astounding performance to hanging around afterwards so long and hearing how pleased the bigwigs were with it and that Sir Tim Rice was talking to Joe too - just seems like fantasy land when I look back on it.

I'm going to choose the first PopStar to OperaStar performance too. I was lucky enough to get to that show and also to the semi-finals and finals, thanks to some very generous friends. Was such a mix of emotions seeing Joe so totally totally beside himself with nerves before that performance and then going on to sing Una Furtiva Lagrima so utterly beautifully, with the sweet sound of his natural voice *not* being swamped by his operatic technique. I palpipti indeed.

And finally, because I'm not greedy and I'm going to narrow it down to three - being present to hear Joe singing Driving Home For Christmas live on Loose Women. We were so so close to him that I could hear his unamplified voice and it was just such a moving few moments - I was spellbound. And when I listened back to it later on the TV it was still a faultless performance.

Oh - and I'll just sneak in the Gay Times photoshoot - can't remember what month that was in but I haven't noticed any links so far - or maybe I skipped past them.”

What a year eh!!

I was very happy to be at RFH too one row behind Jude. Fantastic show, Joe was on fire, Time Rice and label people were there and the crowd were out of this world. - perfect.

As well as being at the first live show for PSTOS I was also at the preview show. I had been very nervous before hand and very worried about how well Joe would do on the show, if he would get the votes etc. But my god, once Joe opened his mouth I breathed a sigh of relief, nearly cried and my mouth dropped to the floor in shock, disbelief and utterly stunned from the beautiful operatic voice that came out.

The ITV studios became my second home, I went to 4 live shows out of 6 and Joe only performed on 5. We were stunned every week, we voted like mad every week and our boy made us all very proud by winning with a staggering 77% of the vote.

I ditto everyone elses best moments, there have been too many. 2011 was a fantastic year for Joe and us as fans. Looking back at the beginning of 2011 and the difference Joe's career path had taken by the end is amazing. There have been many happy and proud moments in 2011, one up there at the top has to be the tour on a whole. The tour started off with a very sad time for me personally when my nan sadly passed away, but Joe, being on tour and my Joe friends helped me through it.

Who would have thought Joe would have done his own solo tour and released a further 2 albums?

Roll on the next year!

This made me a tweet from someone who saw him in the gym...

''Well he sits in the bar and eats pot noodles, then goes in the jacuzzi to gossip! I've not actually seen him do anything yet..''

And HunneyT said 'aw bless, you should have introduced them to us!' ”

I'd like to meet them too

Jen being hoisted over the barrier at Margate by 2 security guards and almost taking one of them out. Billys look of absolute horror will stay with me forever.

Being asked to leave a very up market B&B. How very rude.

Had my 1st ever (bear) hug from Joe at Rhyl. He asked me for a hug btw.

RFH really was special.
Even though I was lucky enough to go to both Newcastle gigs RFH had a different atmosphere. From the anticipation of all of Joes fans holding their collective breath just praying that the non fans would appreciate Joe as much as we did to utter relief when they did. That standing ovation was something else. Doubt that feeling will ever be repeated.



The stand out memory for me is getting the chance to go for a run along the coast road in South Shields.

Been so long since I've been on here it took me a while to remember my password!

Last year was brilliant, can't remember how many gigs I went to but do know I loved every one.

My stand out memories of the year have to be:
Lummley, brilliant venue and first time Joe revisited some Xfactor songs, in particular No Regrets, don't think he's done it since.

Potters 1, Tracy making 16 of us so welcome in her house and watching videos of Joe on her enormous TV.

Lo Profile secret Sunday, so up close and personal and Joe on top form, such a lovely club with the cutest staff!

The tour bus, thank you hgm can we book it again for this year, so much fun especially when we decorated it with Joe pics and passers by, plus some paps, thought it was Joe's van as it was parked near the venue in Brighton.

Like everyone else RFH is my favourite tour gig but have to say that I will never ever forget the most embarrassingly wonderful moment when Joe got me on stage during the climb for the final Newcastle gig, I had jokingly said to him in Brighton that he always gets young people on stage why doesn't he ask an older person, so said he would get me on stage if I sat near the front, never in a million years did I think he would actually do it, loved the high five and the 'See I keep my promises' he said!! Have always wanted a special one to one with Joe just didn't think it would be in front of 1500 people!

I've met some lovely people and visited places I've never been to before, listened to the Climb and Don't Stop Believing at every one of them, sat up all hours chatting, laughed a lot, worried a lot about the future for Joe and I want to do it all again this year please!!

Cupcakes and omelettes...those were the dates!!

I have SO many highlights of 2011 it really would be hard to narrow them down when we've had so many good times. Who would have thought it would have been such a good year in Joe land?!

Suzette, your 'on stage' moment was even one of my tour highlights! After about 10 too many pre gig vodka and cokes i may have screamed a little too loud though

Evening all btw!
