But nevertheless the place gave the performance some charm of it's own, and who are we to complain when it made you see the boys more much better? A part of me is wanting to see them now from here on in this place, it feels more intimate (do their concerts on bigger places have tolerable volume?). Haha, wishful thinking.
One downside for me on the performance were my neighbors, UGH. The one exactly beside me seems to have a bought with cough and the one beside him cannot keep his karaoke-ing to himself at some of the songs. I mean, this is a classical music performance... just keep your voice to yourself. JEESH.
Someone from behind me was a bit on the talkative side too, which is a shame because all my other neighbors were as quiet as I was.
Regarding the venue, yeah, it was rather small and a more cozy venue. I was very close to the stage. But I would rather have been on maybe row G or something so that I can see the whole choir without panning from left to right.

2. In Love and Mercy, I was expecting Freddie to sing first because it was reported in Korea that James M. sang Josh's old part. What I saw was that James M sang first and then Freddie. Doesn't matter much...
Idk which report you read but it was same in Korea: mini James went first and Freddie.

Ok, I think I got this impression from Josh's speech about once singing the part that James M sang so I automatically assumed he was the second soloist because Josh was the second soloist in the album version. Or have I forgotten which sang which in the album.

Thanks, all, for your reports. Now tell me about what I really want to know: how was Exultate?!

Looks like they were given wristbands with the Philippine colors. Cool.
And I gather that they flew home directly. I hope they get home to their families safely.

Uh, isn't all airspace over northern and central Europe closed right now?

Yes, that's what I'm worried about. But it seems they flew out already.

Exultate is one of my favorite part of the show. (Besides Ralph Skan's amazing The Fountain). It was so lively! They took huge steps forward, backward and sideward in some notable parts. hahaha I couldn't find words to explain it though. Sorry!

Hi Carina, just woke up. Except for a few winks at the airport and in the airplane I was up for over 26 hours yesterday in my "amazing race".
Exsultate was fun, but they didn't dance. I mean, not really. There were like three groups of two rows of them on the stage. Some would step forward and the others would step back at the first note every time these verses were sang: Hark, we hear a distant music and it comes with fuller swell ’tis the glorious song of heaven and our fears it will dispel
Exsultate Domino omnis populi Alleluia Jubilate Domino omnis terra Alleluia
These two verses of two lines each were sung two times each in the song so that's how many times they did this choreography. That's as far as I can remember. Didn't really took down mental notes of the whole choreography.

It was actually Freddie, and he also said that Liam got stung by a jelly fish but it was okay since he got better and the jelly fish said sorry.

Thanks for the description! I still can't get out of my head the image of them skipping (skip dancing) to Exultate.
Chix, did you take down notes or is that all from memory? If it's from memory, I'd pay you to take my finals.
Haha, wishful thinking.
