Well that's just odd The Iron Men are far more eye candy and worth looking at than Boy George who is more ear candy

The reviews of George Michael a couple of weeks ago in Perth commented that is was one of the first times in Perth the whole crowd had been up dancing!

It is very odd here. I remember going to Midnight Oil at the Entertainment Centre in Perth in the early 90's and couldn't believe it when after the support act a young boy came round selling ice creams just like the cinema in 70's during "intermission". It was a wild crowd that night!

I went to the George Michael concert and there were loads of us dancing. There were also quite a few people sitting down which I found really odd but hey each to their own. Didn't realise sitting through concerts was the done thing here!

They didn't seem to be enjoying it. Maybe they were there to chaperone their grandchildren or something.

Not so much these days - all the songs were several tones lower than the 80s.

You surely don't mean that he's becoming more eye candy than voice? Did he have his neck painted black? Who told him that was a good look? Hey George, you're looking a bit porky, quick way to lose the weight mate? Paint your neck black, you'll look slim in seconds.

I can't stand him. Painting your neck black to cover up how fat and ugly you are is mental...just like him.

I never thought he was that good a singer either.....

We went to see Bryan Ferry in Singapore (me, az, Daff, Bats - sorry everyone else, but Fo3 knows who I mean ) and got told off for singing. The old bat in front of us couldn't hear the harmonies.

Also in Singapore, the management pulled the plug on David Bowie's encore Who TF pulls the plug on Bowie??? F'ing jobsworths.

I love Boy George always have. Saw Culture Club live when they first hit the charts and was amazed that he could really sing. Saw him many years later, DJing in Hong Kong. Well to be more accurate I heard him, as I never actually saw him. I believe Grace Jones sang at the same gig but I couldn't see her either

(We went to see Taboo the musical just before we left the UK - the story of Boy George. Marilyn was sat in front of us; now he's looking damn bloaty and rough.)

I guess it depends who's playing!We usually like to jump around quite alot,but on the other hand I have seen people like Crosby Stills & Nash in London and been quite happy to sit and watch.I've never been to a rock gig and sat down!Could'nt think of anything worse actually.While we're on the subject,we usually go to a festival (UK)every year.Last year we attended Womad,which is a festival of cultural arts.We had a programme so would find the approapriate stage,and sit near the front so we had a good view.As soon as the act came on,people behind us would just push in front,and literaally stand straight in front of us.At one stage my OH(who is usually polite)tapped someone's shoulder and said "We did'nt pay to look at your ass"

I went to an Abba tribute band a while back at Maroochydore RSL... 2 quite older couples came up to us and snarled "thanks for ruining our night" because all us expats (twas a meetup) were standing and singing and laughing.. ah.. the RSL club, now *that* was an experience and a half.. lots of people all sitting down looking like gods waiting room whilst 4 nutcases in lycra and long hair jumped about singing (shouting?) Waterloo...

Was the most bizarre and strange night!
