I've been a Sugababes fan since I first heard Overload way back in 2000. It was, and still is, a pop classic. Over the years, I managed to catch them live a couple of times. The first time I caught Sugababes live was way back at Creamfields 2002. Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup. Did it matter much at the time to me? No, not at all, I was just their to party! As a side note, post Sugababes, Siobhan went on to release two solo albums, Revolution in Me in 2003 and Ghosts in 2007. The next time I saw them was at Oxegen 2008, and by then Mutya had left the band and was replaced by Amelle, leaving Keisha as the only remaining original member. It was a tad strange seeing the band with only one remaining member, but again, it was a festival and all we were looking for was a good time, which we definitely got! Another side note, just like Siobhan, Mutya went on to release her own solo work, a gr
Christina Aguilera... I know, you're probably thinking "What is MJ doing at a Christina Aguilera gig?".
Well the truth is, I'm in Vegas, she's in Vegas and, well I got a ticket for cheap, so why the hell not!
Off I headed to Zappos Theater, knowing no one and unsure of what to expect. Obviously I know all her big hits, anyone who listens to the radio does, but I wouldn't class myself as a fan. I was, as I've said elsewhere, out of my comfort zone at this gig!
I needn't have worried though. She came onstage a little after 9:00 PM and played for 2 hours. OK, she wasn't on stage for the full 2 hours as there were a few short breaks for costume changes, but that's only me being picky. All the hits were played and, yeah, I may have sang along to some of them. There were a few songs I didn't know, but the crowd did and they belted them out with her. Mind you, she didn't need the help, her voice is just stunning, as powerful as it ever was and still able to hit those notes.
