She's My Man

The Scissor Sisters at Vodafone Arena were fantastic on Friday night. I was a little concerned about seeing them in such a big venue, after being lucky enough to see their intimate performance at the Prince of Wales for their last show.

Jake and Ana-Matronic are the perfect front duo. He has unstoppable, boundless, bouncy energy, and she has amazingly slinky, sexy moves. They compliment each other perfectly, vocally, in performance styles, and personality wise with their interaction with the crowd. You feel wrong standing still watching this band!

This is the type of shoe that you can go and enjoy, whether you are familiar with, or even like their music or not. Their version of ‘Candle in the Wind’ - Dedicated to Anna Nicole Smith - was sensational! The sets and lighting were show enough, even without Jake’s tiny glittered shorts! Has he been raiding Kylie’s wardrobe?

The new Silverchair single ‘Straight Lines’ is their best yet – can’t wait for the release of 'Young Modern’ on March 31. Listen to the track on their My Space sight and see what you think… http://www.myspace.com/silverchair
I hope Tristan wins ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ on Sunday! Love him!!! It probably ended six months ago in America already.
