Wow what a show! It was fantastic. All the singers were great and the CHOIR!!!!! I've never seen or heard anything like
it...they were amazing! There was a special appearance by Sir Cliff Richard also (not my cup of tea. but hey...great to see
him sing live).
It was my first visit to the Royal Albert Hall and I was wondering what the sound quality would be like...having heard
it referred to as poor. The orchestra and the choir sounded fantastic. I felt it was quite difficult to hear the singers on
the stage though I think this was down to the hand mikes they were using...though some singers came across better than others.
When Michael sang (I know this could be biased) but he filled the auditorium so much more. Laura Michelle Kelly was another
voice that stood out. She has one of the best female voices I've heard on stage!
