They should at least put the loving kind in SOMEWHERE. Even in an extended interlude

Yeah The Loving Kind is not really needed, in the bigger picture it is forgotten single and song that didn't do anything artistically for them. It was just another Call The Shots.

The opening act DJ had an excellent set. The entire arena chanting Whenever, Wherever into Britney's Stronger and Slave, followed by a couple of smashes including Hung Up X Houdini? My wig flew to Derry.

I don't trust any of the girls' opinions on their songs except Nadine's. Didn't they want Ugly Because You Hate Me as the lead single for Ten instead of Something New?

Yes, cause they wanted it to feel like a last ever single. Nadine was having NONE of that, neither wanting the split or her to not be in the single at all.

It would've been a terrible choice. I feel like they were trying to recreate I'll Stand By You since BCYLM was a Children In Need single, but no one wanted that as a Girls Aloud comeback song. It seems like they didn't know what the fans wanted from them. Thank god Nadine intervened.

Jokes aside an AMAZING evening.

 

Such a genuinely magical show - the references to Sarah were so bittersweet.

In another life, they broke through the Oceania market during their promo run during the Chemistry era and have announced Sydney dates!! I do think they could do a show here and sell out easily, maybe not area but haha.

Why does it look So low budget?

Because it is?

Maybe the stage is limited due to the arena? I'll wait until they're in a bigger space.

I don't get the cheap remarks. I wasn't expecting a Beyonce level production ( they have the make money with the tour split between 4 girls ). I'm just so happy they're back performing. I would watch them just sing on a basic platform.

the set list looks amazing, On The Metro is my fav song of theirs so I won!

 

I do wish they'd add The Loving Kind though

Their stages are never really expensive

I don't think it's low budget - the stage is great and makes it so so many fans get super close to them. They also fly and the dancers are excellent. It's also just a UK + Ireland tour so I wouldn't expect a huge amount of props.

The stage is their biggest, in terms of construction; they usually have a mid-platform in the middle of the arena, but this time they had an expansive stage. And the screens are quite a substantial size. I wouldn't call this low budget at all. Their first two tours? Yes, those were low budget. But this one? No.

I love Cheryl but her extensions are way too long :rip: She looks like the girl from The Ring.

For the first time there is no covers which is cool since their catalogue is full of hits. I regret they didn't include memory of you, swinging London town, the loving kind...

 

Does anyone know how long the show is?

Cheryl is still a superstar. She needs to kidnap will.i.am or somebody with a budget, and do something.

To be fair, she barely had any music directed budget AND one of the tiniest labels in UK, sis was basically on her own.

100-105 minutes I think

They were so good last night! Almost died when Girl Overboard came on. :chick3:

 

All four girls were on fire, and Cheryl definitely got the loudest cheers from the locals, but Nadine is just so :smitten: She does it for the gays. She has the spirit of a drag queen. They gave the girls those fans for Can't Speak French and Nadine was serving everything :jonny4:

Oh and seeing it performed live has taken Long Hot Summer from a mid-tier bop to classic status for me! Never gave it much attention, but maybe because the arena was suffocating it just hit perfectly :smitten: I loved it!

That's a fair opinion but I personally love the hair. Not only does it look and move fantastically, but a few months ago Cheryl was suggesting that her outfits for this tour were going to be more conservative because she's a mother now. I love that she ultimately decided to disregard that and wear longer hair and leotards.

Length isn't the problem: volume is. It's far too flat. If it was given some body and more of a wave it'd work better.

 

Not necessarily this, but the wave/curl and more volume:
