Alison Moyet

I went to see her live on 10/11/08 in Asbury Park……the show was phenomenal and her voice is stronger than ever…..but that’s not why I’m posting this…..

after the show I waited outside the stage door hoping to get to say hello…..this will probably be her last tour here in the states and I know I’ll never get a chance to meet her again….now, I’ve interacted with her on her website, like many other fans, and she always seemed gracious…..when she first walked out, I felt my heart skip and I could feel my nerves bundling up…..I patiently waited my turn to get a picture and say hello….when I told her my name, it took a minute but she knew who I was from her website and gave me a huge hug…….it felt good…..we chatted for a while and I could tell that she generally cares about her fans and is sincere…….the whole experience was wonderful and made my night complete…..I’ve always been concerned about meeting someone who’s music I’ve admired for the fear that you can catch them on a bad day or they’re just unpleasant and then enjoying their music is tainted…..I’m happy to say that this was definitely not the case here……..thank you Alison, thank you….

Yaz(oo) Live at The Beacon Theater 7/19/08

well, what can I say but wow! this concert was well worth the 25 year wait.  Alison Moyet’s voice is stronger than ever….she’s one of the rare vocalists that sound better live and in this day that’s a rarity…..Vince’s reworking of the sound was incredible as well, it gave each song a fresh feel to it….these songs did not sound dated and could stand up to anything on the charts today….the energy was great in the theater as well……nobody sat down for 99% of the show and sang along to most of the songs………I am so glad that I got the opportunity to see them live and it was an evening that I won’t soon forget…….here are 2 pictures from the evening….

Britney Spears

when is someone going to step in and help this poor girl.   everyone just sits on the side lines and watches this train wreck occur……where are her friends, handlers, family? are there only sycophants around her now?…..her colleagues all watched her “perform” and it was obvious she wasn’t right, what did they do?….snicker……if god forbid she was to O.D., then they’d all say something about what a shame it was, but her blood would be on their hands….

I don’t see this ending well unless someone steps in and forces her to get help…..another tragic end to a childhood star…….
