Hello everyone! im home now after a weekend on london so am able to say a few words about the concert on friday!
Firstly, thank you so so much to Flora for selling us the tickets and for sitting with us, it was great to meet everyone its so nice to put faces to names!
So, I personally found friday to be the best concert i have ever been to, the sound was incredible and all the boys exceeded my expectations!
Ill give a quick run-down of all the songs and things I liked about them!
Adoramus/Libera: (Stefan, Ralph and Luke) I love the start to the show, Stefans "are you the door etc" followed by building up music while the other boys come on stage! Ralphs aeternas on libera were fantastic!
Time: (Josh with Alex and Ralph, Ben with Daniel and Jakob) I got the impression that Josh was finding this solo quite difficult though with the support of Ralph and Alex it sounded great. By far my fav moment of this song was Jakob, the only one facing the crowd singing the "aaah aaah aaahs" before the final chorus - I really think he deserves more solos hes amazing!
Sanctus (Stefan on high notes): fantastic as ever and very well put together
Sanctissima (Ralph): very well performed!
Eternal Light (Stefan and Ralph): I love the chorus in theis song and the boys (i especially noticed mini james) seemed to really enjoy singing the song!
Ave Verum (Carlos with Jakob, I couldnt see who was on high notes): Carlos was far stronger than in bristol, i was abit dissapointed there but thought he was very good this time - however, i personally feel jakob would be better suited to doing the main solo.
Far Away (Ralph and Kavanna) Kav was fantastic on this though I thought Ralph was finding this one abit difficult - it was in this song he started coughing, poor boy!
Salva Me (Stefan): I quite enjoy this song with more of the boys singing the verses
Exultate (Stefan and ? someone else?): one of the highlights of the night - absolutely fantastic!
Interval - my lovely boyfriend went and got me Tom Cullys autograph on my programme as I was too much of an embarrassed fangirl to do it myself! apparently he was very friendly but clearly very embarrased himself to be asked in the first place! I later thanked him and he was lovely!
Mysterium (Stefan and Ralph): my fav song of the night, the choreography was amazing with stefan walking down the aisle towards ralph as they sang at eachother - brilliant!
Gloria: A great contrast to mysterium!
Fountain (Ralph): another one where i thought ralph was struggling abit, however still a really good song!
How can I keep from singing (Sammy with Stefan on high harmonies) very well done - stefans harmonies are just fantastic!
When a knight (Ralph): much better than i thought it would be as I was worried Ralph would be too coughy!
Love and Mercy (Mini James and Freddie): mini james' voice is improving so much each time i see him!
*I dont know for sure but the evil look RP gave just before Joshs speech may be due to someone dropping something quite loudly at the back of the hall*
Deep Peace (Stefan): not my fav song but was very well executed
Stay With Me (Daniel with ? and MRA) I loved this as I could see MRA through the other boys and I thought he did brilliantly, I personally think his voice is more than strong enough tho he did miss one of the notes, prompting RP to make sure he had his attention for the next one!
Going Home (mini James, Daniel, Jakob on hamronies) again, not my fav song but mini james voice was fantastic!
How Shall I Sing (Jakob and Stefan) AMAZING finish!
I was so impressed with the sound quality, it was louder than Ive heard before and I absolutely loved it!
Overall, absolutely incredible night - ill remember that one for a long long time!!!
