Lel's Review
7th April 2001 Manchester Evening News Arena!!


Right, well I hope this is ok, but I'm a crap writer so it probly won't be!!

I really don't know what happened at the start, I had my eyes closed cos I was scared of the height!! The first group was Masai, who were good, for a support group! Then there was Reel, who were definately the best of them all. They put everyone in the party mood, which we needed badly to get through Fixate! They weren't that bad really, but everyone was sick of waiting for Westlife. Then came Bellefire, followed by the very unwelcome announcement that 'Due to technical problems, Westlife will be delayed.' They didn't come on until about 9 'o' clock, and everyone was getting really excited, doing Mexican waves, and screaming 'WESTLIFE!' When they did come on though, it was worth the wait...
The curtain went up, and on the stage there was a massive box with a screen on. On it came up

'Do dreams come true?'


and we were all going mad screaming! Then it passed all the planets from Pluto, until it reached Earth, where it zoomed in to a room with Westlife all lying down in a circle. One by one, a scientisty-looking guy brought them all to life, and the screen shows them walking down a corridor. Then they absail down the side of the box in big 'space suit' things, where five women undress them! What I wouldn't do to be them! If I carry on writing like this I'm 1) going to spoil it for everyone who is going ot see them, 2) gonna take up loadsa room and 3)I wud probably faint from excitement so I'll just tell you what they sang!
They did loads from 'Coast to Coast' and a couple from 'Westlife', Dreams come true, Somebody needs you, No,no, You make me feel, Seasons in the sun, I have a dream, Looking like that, Lay my love on you, My love, If I let you go, Uptown girl, What makes a man, Mowtown thingy (I can't remember if uptown girl was seperate) Swear it again, More than words and flying without wings (knowing me I've probably missed out some though). The best bits were...well all of it! but when Bryan took off his pants in Seasons in the sun, and when they were suspended above the floor people in Flying without wings were dead good too! At the end, when their heartbeats stopped, we were all crying, and some people missed Flying without wings because they left before they came on!
All I can say to anyone who hasn't been is if there is any way possible you can go to see them, DO! It is absolutely brilliant, you will not regret it!
