Fabulous!
Heard on TV today: "In a few minutes Will Young will be singing for 150,000 ECSTATIC fans" and "Next week, Westlife will play a FABULOUS concert in Rotterdam!"
How do they know? Are they psychic? First of all, those 150,000 weren't 'fans' - they were a bunch of people who showed up for an all 'star' line up. Secondly... ecstasy surely is reached DURING a set and will last a while AFTER. Not before. Not in the pouring rain in a muddy field on bloody Queensday. The song, the performance could be shite. In fact, it was! Shite. And I like Will's song.
And Westlife could show up in Rotterdam on an off night. What'sischubby face could have had a bad day at home -- and not at all feel up to facing 7,000 sweaty heads in the Ahoy. They could pick up laryngitis. And they could cancel. Not so fabulous. More like... not very happening.
Also, I wonder what Westlife (bunch of has-beens) got for the few minutes of frankly terrible miming in front of girls that really are too old for this swooning thing today in Amsterdam. For fuck's sake the main singer was still talking to the crowd when the tape with him singing already started. They didn't even attempt to keep up with the words.
Anyway - presenters, take note. "Expectant fans", "long awaited concert" would make a lot more sense. Leave the 'fab' out till after, right?

Correction: Westlife are a bunch of never-had-its :-)
