Review: Belinda Carlisle at Chicago Rock Cafe Luton

Now I have seen Belinda play the NEC Birmingham, Shepherds Bush Empire (as a Go-Go), and even the Roadmender (Northampton) but Chicago in Luton has to be the lowest point in her career!

Belinda arrived on stage just after 10pm and sang Karaoke style live mic over a backing track of her greatest hits!

Having been a fan of Belinda since 1987 and a hard-core Go-Go's fan since 1991 it was such a shame to see the lead singer of the greatest all-girl band playing for drunken students (shouldn't complain I had a Go-Go's poster on my Uni of Luton Halls Walls though '95-98). Belinda seemed to be as much into the show as the rest of the audience as she put in a lackluster performance that seemed to be a parody of herself.

You could almost feel the contempt for the situation that she is in! Belinda has an audience, and sadly the British do not appreciate it! If this is all that her solo career is fit for then she should quit the solo and become a full time Go-Go!

Come on Belinda, Lust to Love, Unforgiven, Our Lips etc. are sealed., are much better than the Heaven on... crap your solo career has churned out!
