I wish I could marry JT. He seems to have it all – the looks, the moves, the talent and also, despite all you read about him, he genuinely seems like a nice and funny guy. But on to tonight’s performance.

Luckily for us Justin put on an extra show tonight for this London leg of his tour so our trip to Iceland didn’t meant we missed out completely.

Tonight the performance was being held at the O2. Its been four years since I’ve even been near what used to be the Millenium Dome and I last walked by here when I was visiting Christy and Scott back in 2003. How time flies. Its interesting how they’ve kitted out the O2 and smartly enough they put in a large number of restaurants around the arena itself so, despite the rather long lines outside the restaurants, there is actually quite a bit of option if you get there in enough time.

After grabbing some dinner at Spur we strolled into the Arena to catch most of Justin’s supporting act – FERGIE. I was pleased to note that she sounded infinitely better than she did at the Diana concert and the performance as a whole was a lot better even incorporating about three costume changes. We were in the lower tier but even from our seats and with low lighting photo taking was difficult so a small clip of her performance can be found here.

Finally, it was time for the main act.

After much build up and fanfare JT was on stage at last! And didn’t the crowd show its appreciation. It is clear that JT is a class act – his concert just oozed style. He had an innovative way of projecting his image to the larger audience as well so instead of using straight-forward video screens he had this gauze that surrounded him on stage and his image was projected on to that. Honestly I’m not sure if it was his set up but it work fairly well. His song choice was fairly spot on playing many of his latest hits though it was clear that the songs that got the crowd going were the ones were he showed his moves. Surprisingly he spent a lot of his time playing instruments – whether it was the piano, a piano/guitar, a guitar etc. It was a good display of his talent but honestly I would have loved to have seen him dance more.

There was no interval as such though Timbaland came on to entertain. The music was good through strange to not hear the original artists singing.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the night though as I mentioned above some more dancing by Justin would have been appreciated. He had a nice little encore at the end which was quite touching. Lots of people missed this as they were streaming out concerned about getting home. (Silly people as it turned out that we didn’t have any problems getting on to the tube luckily and it was a fairly straight forward journey in the end.) A compilation of tonight’s performance is here.
