-Jennie- Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Come on, give us a detailed account of everything!! What she sang, how you went in, what you spoke about.....you know the drill - No slacking here ...okay. My memory is pretty terrible though so I'm sure the others will end up correcting me on most of it. I got to Zavvi at about 2:30 or something..... Danika and Celine were already there. There was no queue or anything but they were setting up the stage and stuff so we went to get some food then went back to Zavvi to sit down. We were sitting next to the book and magazine section so I basically spent the next 3 hours sittitng reading ever single music magazine they had and then a Ripleys book which was quite interesting A few more people joined the queue but not many.... At about 5pm? Or about then anyway the band members arrived and they started setting up barriers at the side of the stage bit and we all stood up. They shortly let us through the curtained off bit to the stage. and got to the front..obviously Waited there for about another hour...watching the 22(!!!) photographers crowd in front of us (A couple I recognised from Scala...especially one who we were arguing with a lot there) Then Katy came on, then walked off straight away, then came back on and whispered something into both guitarists ears then sang....Hot n Cold first, then Thinking of You, then I Kissed a Girl. Did a bit of talking in between but the crowd were pretty unresponsive so she started going on about how much of a bad public speaker she is and then walked to the back of the stage and started banging her head against the wall. Talked a little bit about the EMA's at the very beginning..can't really remember what she was saying but it was basically about phallic-shaped fruit and running through the corridors almost naked in hotel slippers.... Then it was the signing and they basically just let small groups of about 5 at a time out of the crowd into the mini-queue by the signing desk. Because we were at the fron of the audience it meant we were the last out which didn't seem very fair because no one wants to be towards the end of a signing...its just bad news in general. After about half an hour of standing there like sardines some guy (who worked at Zavvi and had seen us earlier) let us lot through the curtain to meet Katy for some reason (we're not complaining though!!) so we got to skip the queue They were pretty strict with photo's. they said we had to take photos from a distance while we were in the little 5-person queue (since I was the last one I couldn't really get a good view at that point so I didnt' really bother taking many) Um... yeah Celine was first ( I was too far away to hear for myself what was going on so I'll let her explain it) then Danika's turn, they talked about Scala and her necklace that Katy gave her (which she had already recognised during the performance), then it was my turn. The security were making everyone leave and go straight upstairs after their rturn so I had no one there to take photos of me (there was no one behind me either...it was a bit scary being with her on my own!!) and I basically rambled on about anything that came to mind which apparently included her kissing me and me being in her video and at scala and seeing her toorrow and stuff. She was pretty impressed with the music video bit and kept going... 'really?....you were in the video?.....in LA?...really?' so yeah... she signed my booklet and wrote "To Jennie, Wow! We kissed and you came all the way to Hwood! AMAZE.".... Then I said bye and she said see you tomorrow and then I went. THE END. Oh and she shook everyones hand so we were frantically trying to dry our little sweaty hands inthe little queue hahah since we'd been packed in a crowd and it was pretty damn hot! That detailed enough Sara? hahaha Edited November 13, 2008 by -Jennie- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved him and his voice, plus his guitar playing is amazing!! I can't wait to get all his vids up now. I told him he was pretty haha and he wasn't sure wether to take that as a compliment or not So you'll come along with me to see him in London whenever he's here? Will have a look at your ones !

I think he's supporting Scouting for Girls now, but those dates don;t work for me tbh (plus they are probably mega sould out) I just noticed some of the tags here; I didn't realise that people took things so "seriously" if you know what I mean...it seems a bit much, really "a disservice to bisexuals", "hypocrit" .

sienna Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-oNsJiZ-zrI Black and Gold Wow, she did a cover of Black and Gold! I love that song so much:wub2: I listen to it several times every day, almost as much as I was listening to Mika’s song a couple of months ago (he really need to come up with new material soon!) How did you like it? It sounded very exciting in the clip but I know that a clip like that can never make justice to the original experience! I really hope she will do this cover again in Stockholm, do you think she will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine931 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Mika should start his own festival with all his friends/opening acts. Then we could see all of them at once. I would DEFO be up for that !!! ...okay.My memory is pretty terrible though so I'm sure the others will end up correcting me on most of it. I got to Zavvi at about 2:30 or something..... Danika and Celine were already there. There was no queue or anything but they were setting up the stage and stuff so we went to get some food then went back to Zavvi to sit down.

How did you like it? It sounded very exciting in the clip but I know that a clip like that can never make justice to the original experience! I really hope she will do this cover again in Stockholm, do you think she will? I think that she did very well. At times it looked like she didn't really know all the words and like she was reading it from somewhere, but she sung it very very well. The more I see Katy live, the more talented I believe she is. Her cd just doesn't do her justice if you ask me. Some of the tracks are over produced and disguise her voice and just general "feel". I guess that I'm just a sucker for beautiful simplicity, LOL! A no frills acoustic gig will ALWAYS be the best in my books, for any good artist. Ooooh Danika, this is so cool!!! The key to my heart , awwww. Incidentally, I finally got all my Katy vids up, here the latest ones, different angle from Jennie's: (Super beautiful) I'm Still Breathing: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qIP1fB4CHhQ Black And Gold: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ta1zCfBWfN4 I Kissed A Girl: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IFRrWELzzLw Now I am putting the Sam Beeton ones up, usual place........Will be up later today. Watch out for him, he's amazing!!! In fact I am going to make him a thread right now. And once I am done with him I will start with the Dan Black (two) and James Morrison (tons) ones. Why- oh- why do I take so many vids? It takes forever to upload, lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 And once I am done with him I will start with the Dan Black (two) and James Morrison (tons) ones. What? You saw James Morrison too?? He came to the Mod Club in early 2007 but I already had tickets to see Lily Allen at another club on the same night. I had about half a dozen must-see Brits on my list and two of them played on the same night. What are the chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
