Katy Perry - LIVE

Oh my Goodness!

One of the best things I ever did was purchase tickets to see Katy Perry's 'California Dreams' Tour in October 2011.

Her show HAD to be the best I had ever seen.  She had clearly put SO much thought into the show to make it as spectacular as it was.  There were continuous dress changes on stage, different style dancers (a mime act at one point), effective lights and...get this...a pink fluffy candyfloss cloud that Katy Perry hopped onto and flew into the crowd on, playing guitar and singing "Thinking of You".

Not only that, she engaged with the crowd by cracking jokes and even inviting a boy from the crowd onto the stage - she gave him a kiss and everything!!  Very funny - and an experience that boy will not forget in a hurry.

I have to say too...Katy Perry's vocals were SPOT ON!!  I was so surprised at how good she was because 1) I saw her on the X Factor last year singing Firework and she was a little ropey, and 2) she was running around the stage constantly!  However, she sounding bloody amazing.  Her last but one song was Firework and it was incredible - she sounded great.  I don't know how she did it considering she was on the stage for two hours.  Yes, TWO HOURS, people!!

I bought the tickets for £30 each and had a two hour performance compared to a £60 ticket for Glee and had a one hour and twenty minute performance...

So, if you ever get chance to go and see Miss Perry/Mrs Brand live, snatch that opportunity up as soon as you can.  It's totally worth it as she is just bloomin' fantastic.

If there was one criticism I had to make...it was that towards the end of the show Katy Perry danced (and mimed) along to Whitney Houston's 'I wanna dance with somebody'.  As much as I enjoyed the dancing etc, there was no need for it as KP did not need it - her show was perfect without!!
