divas and ledgends


so this is just a quick post to document for my own amusement the fact that the last few weeks since i got back from Florida seems to have been spent watching some divas and legends perform in concert...first it was Celine Dion who performed at the gigantic O2 arena in front of 20.000 screaming fans...well my David was screaming...i was just politely applauding,..she was very brilliant but it all seemed so fake and posed...and she punched the air at the end of every song as if to say..I'm skinny and amazing and you cant sing like me.
and a few days ago i went to see Liza Minnelli perform at a relatively small theatre in London to an audience that consisted of posh people and many well groomed gay couples...and a few celebrities, oh and some Saudi prince who i watched dancing like an idiot in his special box...and i can honestly say from the moment she appeared silhouetted against a white backdrop till the moment she took her final bow wearing a sparkly red number, it was one of the most amazing things i have ever been to..i feel privileged to have been there..it was like watching history on stage..and i loved every bit of it...
