The fucking WOMBATS are on in the main arena! This seems very BACKWARDS! Not complaining though, I hate it in there

It was delightful! She is in FINE VOICE and looking fabulous 
I'm glad I was pre-warned that she wasn't doing ALL of Close, but it was a great selection 
I proper teared up during the ballad medley.

Still coming down from this. I absolutely cannot wait to see her again at some point. The Wildes just got what they do down to a tee so well. What a lovely woman and family. Oh and since I was at the front, I simply had to peel this off the stage.
The audience was kind of strange though. I was really taken aback that no one stood up for the opening number. It's also been a while since I felt so young

I’m surprised she opened with Hey Mr Heartache. I presumed she was going to run through Close in order as a result, especially after the second song was pissed away that early. It felt odd to then abandon that idea fairly quickly.
I still wish she’d change the fucking encore up a bit. I can’t remember it ever being anything different and I must have seen here 10+ times live now.

Scorpio plays so similar to Kids that it's almost playful trolling coming at the encore when we know the song most have came for. Much like when I wondered of Scarlett was getting Hangin' all to herself
The adjusted Close ballads section works really well, but I'd have shortened FLW and give a little of European Soul in there too.
In my opinion, she was trying to do 3 things: casual fan hits (essential), Closer and Close; and I feel only 2 of these are possible, with 1 being serve the hits. It was absolutely unreal dancing to Water of Glass, View from a Bridge and Chequered Love at the end.
Hourglass Human has became a big favourite of mine over the last few days. At first I thought Smalltime Boy meets Enjoy the Silence, but the big stadium pop thump is very much giving Never Let Me Down Again.
