Stars

We went for our first gig of the year!

Stars were in town for an evening.

Our friends in Brisbane were raving about the Stars gig there 3 days ago. We were expecting good stuff for this Singapore leg.

Unfortunately I had a pounding migraine that didn't go away even after dinner. I was rather tortured, but nothing earplugs couldn't help alleviate.

At the risk of being murdered, I'd say that they sounded pretty pop-ish rather than cutting edge. Good pop though. Very easy listening.

The band was really charming. They bantered, they joked and appreciated the audience.

I hope this first gig of the year means that there'll be more good gigs to come!!

I like that she's even shy about selling herself as a pop-whore, or that the image she's putting forward is everything that pop should be - right from her bubblegum Oops days to her current white-trash Womanizer getup.

If she's honest about it, I'll buy it.
