Ask........and She Appears
Well, how's that for a speedy delivery? No sooner did I post the picture than B popped up in my Inbox with a little blog for us! YAY! Thanks B!! I won't ramble (for once) I'll just turn it over to the guest blogger. :)
Hi everyone!
I'm Birgit, Tania's friend from Belgium. She asked me to write a little report about my adventures in London. I was one of the lucky ones to be at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday for the Il Divo concerts. And it was amazing! Even better than the concert in Antwerp. It's a smaller venue so the acoustics
were a lot better and the guys were really at it.
Lots of funny moments the first night:
- Urs wearing brown gloves in the second part (but we'll come to that later)
- David saying it took them 9 years to get to the RAH
- Seb with the flag from the Francefan club and David and Urs laughing with Super Seb when he put it around his shoulders.
- We had a drink before the concert and there was a TV screen from the hall and the guys were doing the sound check! Regresa, Senza Parole and Don't cry for me Argentina. ( T here.........Argentina. Sigh. My fav on the new ablum :) )
- Carlos saying he was only there for 2 nights so he couldn't go on a date with all the single ladies.
- Seb doing his Sarkozy impression which had everyone laughing so hard that Carlos added they wouldn't do Barbra Streisand that evening. That comment almost made Urs fall of his stool cause he was laughing so hard. (T again........Maybe you can explain Sarkozy impression for us in North America......I only know he's the President of France. What's so funny about him? LOL)
And Wednesday was even better. That day I went to the Sound check and Q&A. What can I say? It was amazing and I'll remember that day forever! I did two Meet and Greets last tour, but this was something completely different. Ok, you hardly had the time to say "hi" to the guys or shake their hands, but when Urs pulled me close to him, it made up for it big time! LOL
I took so many pictures and was lucky that there was no camera police around. The first evening we sat on row 9, the second night on row 3 and it was so close to them! People were even allowed to go to the stage and hand them gifts.
For those who are interested why Urs was wearing gloves…here’s the answer!
Urs: "This is styling."*everyone cracks up and cheers*
Urs: "So it is. It's A look. It's A show we're presenting."
David: "But explain why you haven't had them up to this point."
Urs: "Oh, I can explain THAT! They should have been there from the very first show BUT... It was winter and they are supposed to wear the colour of the shoes I'm wearing..."
David: "Not these shoes."
Urs: "They couldn't find that colour. So we had them tailor-made but Dolce and Gabana for my hands and they got the colour wrong in the first place so we had to had them made again. And now they're still a bit big but we're getting closer."
And a question that had all of us on the edge of our seats…
Hi guys. We know you have a great sense of humour. We see that every night and we love it. The more the better. This is just a fun question. Taking your lovely wives and girlfriends out of the occasion, if someone offered you £5 million to spend the night with them..."
*Oh!!!!*
Carlos: "Ok, let's go!"
Lady: "Would you do it? And...would it matter if they were good-looking?"
Ross: "Good question."
Seb: "Only if you gave to stick around."
Urs: "In that case you should have started at £50."
*laughing*
Lady: "Is that a yes? Or no? Maybe"
Carlos: "I would do it for free, darling. Just ask me, I will. Are you free tonight?"
Seb: "We'll pay you."
Lady: "Come on, I put you on the spot."
David: "Well, there is so many variables in this."
Lady: "Oh please!"
David: "It's true, you know. I can't take aarah Joy out of the occasion."
Lady: "If you were single?"
David: "If I was single... Ehm well... Hypotheticals are not my forte.
Are we talking about a woman here anyway?
David: "Are we?"
Lady: "Not necessarily. I didn't say a woman."
David: "Well..... I... It's... oh.... Cause money and romance don't necessarily quit. So what are we talking about?"
Lady: "You're quite right."
Ross: "Good answer!"
Lady: "So I won't write a cheque out then?"
David: "Just write it out to Il Divo enterprises and Carlos will receive it."
Ross: "You can swipe your credit card."
Seb: "Don't forget that we split four ways!"
T here again. Thank you B for your rememberances!! And see folks......Il Divo Comedy Show! They are quite funny, aren't they. Carlos......I would do it for free!
And with that I will leave you for now! Thanks again, B, for your pictures and your memories!! Awesome!!
