Cats Stevens (2 Viewers)

[Vinnie]

Second half of his show in the O2 tonight was a simpleton musical based on the music of Cat Stevens set on the planet Moonshadow or something where there is only darkness where raggle taggle kids work punishing hours for Matthew & Son. Before the interval he announced that we were in for a surprise in the second half of the show - I was terrified he was going to do a duet with Ronan Keating but nothing could have prepared me for this. I never thought that I would laugh so much in the throes of my own personal hell. Joe Duffy is going to be a busy man tomorrow.

What?

That sounds MENTAL

 

[Vinnie]

It was insane and so completely fucking shit that it made me sort of glad that I saw it. He's a bit of a hero to me and I probably wouldn't have believed second-hand versions of it. If I wanted to see a load of theatre school kids singing diluted musical versions of Cat Stevens songs I'd have secured my passage to hell and then killed myself

A classic jip.

Even bad Cat Stevens is still ok.

 

[Vinnie]

This wasnt Cat Stevens. It was a load of kids singing musicalised versions of Cat Stevens. It wasnt okay. It was absolutely fucking awful.

Even bad Cat Stevens is still ok.

ha ha, that's mental.

Perry Como is laughing somewhere, probably cant believr his Xmas travesty has been so comprehensibly trumped. At least they didn't have to suffer Twink.

 

[Vinnie]

If anyone was at this and managed to stay until the end can they confirm or deny that Ronan Keating did actually make an appearance?

 

[Vinnie]

Actually I only just bothered to read the preview for the show and it did warn that he would be premiering excerpts from his new musical 'Moonshadow' so I guess I cant really complain too much.

To me leaving seemed a more tempered response than booing so I did. If I had known Keating was imminent I might have stayed just to get the full 'sweet divine mother of jaysus' experience. They might as well have lowered Jedward into the arena on a couple of giant moons to do a rap medley called Father & Matthew & Son. It wouldnt have made it any worse.

On gerry ryan now.

 

[binky]

What would a riot at a Cat Stevens gig look like?

 

[Vinnie]

O2 staff are ringing in to Gerry Ryan to say that several of them were assaulted by irate punters. It would have made a great video for a 2009 Peace Train remix
