It was the day I had been waiting for! Even though I had seen Take That on Monday 3rd December, with my mum, I was so excited about going to see them again on their final night in London! My best friend and her mum took me and we were buzzing from the early morning!
We got to the arena quite early and went out for lunch, by the time we got back to the arena it was gone 5. We had a bite to eat and then went off to buy merchandise, I had already bought a t-shirt, poster, badges and key-ring on Monday, so with the remainders of my Take That fund, I bought a rosette, program and a glowstick! My mate and I were so excited we had to express our excitement some how, so for every person who walked by we blared Take That in their ears, with our beautiful singing voices...
We then made our way to the H entrance, we were at this point squealing with excitement. We were there for 20 minutes, including the time for the security to check our bags. As we went up the escalator, I knew that this was going to be just as good as it was on Monday! When we got into the actual arena we screamed and got quite a few weird looks, but it was all part of the fun of it. Our block was 108 and my friend kept asking, are you disappointed, cos you sat in such a good place on Monday? I said and this is the absolute truth, Of course not because even though we were in Block B on Monday, being here will be just as good experience and this time I will be able to see them walk over the bridge rather than them over our heads, and it was the truth I loved every single second just the same as Monday, these were the best two days of my life.
The first act appeared, her name was Karen Bishko, she was very good, her songs told good stories, were truthful and meaningful. The only thing was we wanted to get up and dance our little feet off! So when Sophie Ellis Bextor came on we screamed got up and boogied away!! She was great, she got the whole crowd excited and hyped up!
It was the moment we had all been waiting for, The arena went dark and the orchestra came on to the B-stage, suddenly, worlds, planets, colourful and beautiful swirling objects came on to the screen and suddenly a massive building which was obvious it showed Take That ruling the world. Then the arena erupted with screams and Take That came on to the stage behind podiums, look gorgeous!!I think I was so overwhelmed, because I burst into tears, as I was so happy!
Reach Out- It was amazing the boys sang their hearts and it was beautiful, they sounded perfect.
It Only Takes a minute- This was absolutely out-of this world, the whole stage was turned into a nightclub and the boys had lapdances, all I can say was I was very jealous of the lapdancers, especially Marks!!! They sounded magnificent!
The boys then talked to us and let us know what had happened in the last year, saying how much they had enjoyed being back together and what had happened to them personally, like Mark said he is over the moon about being a daddy. The most fab thing about the boys is that they are so sincere, all through the night they just kept thanking us, it was so sweet!
Beautiful World-This was mind-blowing they sounded great and I nearly started crying with happiness again! The boys sounded incredible and looked fab too!
Patience- OMG. Oh My God. This was absolutely outstanding and is one of my favourite songs, I sung my heart out and the boys sounded exceptional!
Hold on- I love Mark more than anything and this just showed me why, it was terrific, it sent shivers up my spine!!
Relight my fire- The boys did a marvellous job, it sounded fab and was HOT, literally as well as them just being hot! As at the end the boys went on fire!! Lloyd Wade was fantastic and has a powerful and unique voice!
I won't go through all the next songs, i'll just say a few of my next favourites! But the other songs were fab too, I just don't have enough space, as I will write too much on how breath-taking it was!
Rule the world- They sang this wonderfully and looked striking in long black coats!
Back for Good- It was amazing, the boys sounded stunning and looked it too! The best thing was our poster that said WE LOVE TT ( In the heart had MARK) came on to the 4 screens. IT WAS IMMENSE!
Give Good Feeling- 2 words, LOVED IT! Howard DJ-ed and got the crowd going with OOOhh Ooh!It was fab, they danced fabulously, Jason break dancing and all of them danced like it was their last dance! Mark looked gorge in this hoodie, with pink on it! LOVED IT!MY FAVOURITE!
Sure- AMAZING! They looked great and did the old dance! I loved it and was screaming my lungs out!
Never Forget- TAKE THAT ANTHEM! The best song ever, seeing everyone enjoy it so much, with their hands in the air sent a buzz round me and made me scream even louder, no wonder I lost my voice and could barely speak the next morning! The boys looked sizzling and hot and they way they did it was so clever!
Shine- An all time fave of mine, not only cos Mark sings it, but they sounded perfect, looked remarkable and got the crowd going mad!
Pray- The last song *boo hoo* The boys can still do it!!! The dance routine was the best ever! They sounded magnificent and pulled it off completely!
The whole evening was such a buzz and definitely the best night ever!!! It was fab, I loved it, It was so breath taking and I definitely will NEVER FORGET!!!
