Peter
Andre @ Newcastle City Hall
Thursday 8 July
|
From
a first view, there were mostly teenagers and younger kids with
their mums, and most of them were female in the audience.
The concert started at 7:00pm with the hall nearly full. Just before
the starting act everybody was cheering and chorusing "Peter,
Peter, Peter
" but then the first act came on, four boys
called "24/7." They got the audience on their feet with
a bit of rock.

| Grace
and Harriet (and who's that in the middle?!) |
After
them, two girls (Naomi and Simone) who together were called "Sakanya,"
came on. They didn't have as much response, but were still good
and apparently were number one back in Australia. They did some
pop and were brilliant rappers.
After the starting acts had finished, we waited about 35 minutes
for Peter Andre, but in that time "24/7" made an appearance
towards the doors and everyone rushed over to see them and get their
autographs. They were swamped with people, especially girls.
When
everyone assembled back to their seats the chorus started back up
again, "Peter, Peter, Peter
" Then he came on and
everyone jumped from their seats and screamed.
Better late than never
Before
introducing any songs, Peter apologised for being late. When he
started up he did a few songs including "Lets Go Dancing"
and then had a change of costume, to white shirt and black pants.
Then
he did some more songs, "You Got Me Thinking" and "Hotel
California," (a duet with his brother Chris who also played
the guitar) and then one of Peter's other brothers picked a girl
out of the audience who was meant to sing on the mic with Peter
but could only manage to hum.
He
then changed again, to a blue top and white trousers, his backing
singers, Naomi and Simone ("Sakayna"), were wearing skirts
and little black tops.
After a few more songs, as well as one from his inspiration, Michael
Jackson, we were told that was the end.
And
there's more...
Peter went back inside while we were all cheering for him as we
thought the show might be over, but we were soon delighted when
Peter came back out again with yellow top, ripped jeans and brown
shoes with an eagle accessory on his belt.
He
sang two more songs, including "Untouchable". Then he
sang "Mysterious Girl" which had been in the charts at
number four in 1995, number two in 1996 and of course, number one
in 2004.
He
went and got changed again and came out with his "I'm a celebrity
get me out of here" clothes on to sing "Insania,"
a top hat, jeans and red sweatshirt. Most people ran to the front
(as the security guards didn't stop you this time) to see Peter's
last song for the night.
The concert finished at 11:15 instead of 10:30 when it was meant
to finish. Overall, the night was brilliant, really cool and everyone
enjoyed it and came home with a good experience. It wouldn't be
a surprise if everyone who went had a headache, earache and felt
very tired!!!
