In The News - Gigs n Reviews

a note to my lovely readers

May 8th 2010 09:35
Hi there,

I have decided to leave Orble and start my own domain and music site at www.gigsninterviews.com

Although the site isn't up yet (hopefully it will be within the coming week) I'm very excited about it all, especially my first interview! She's one of Australia's biggest stars!

Thankyou for all your votes and comments. I wouldn't have kept writing this blog if it wasn't for you.

I hope you'll follow me to Gigs 'n Interviews! It's going to be great!

Signing off for the last time.
Jacqui

Powderfinger's Big Shock

Aussie legends: Powderfinger
Today coming back from Nan’s I hopped onto Bigpond to read the news. What a big shock I got when I read that Powderfinger will be a thing of the past after October. Is it April Fools Day still? What the…??

Unfortunately it is true! The band held a press conference this morning announcing that their upcoming tour will be their biggest and their last!
You can watch the press conference here:

What Is Newsworthy These Days?

March 25th 2010 01:49
newspaper's, media, newsworthy
This morning on Sunrise (an Aussie morning show) they showed a photo of George Michael and a friend enjoying each other’s company.
Really? Is this newsworthy? There would be many rock stars, pop stars, movie stars and sport stars donating their time and money to charities but we seem to thrive on stories about sex and drugs.

Aren’t we all tired of hearing about Tiger and his entourage of mistresses? Aren’t we tired of hearing about George Michael’s personal life as the media are keen to knock him down again?

I’m a self-confessed fan of J.D Fortune, the once leader of INXS. The media were very quick to report on his battle with drugs and homelessness, but not many reported on the fact that he has performed at various charity nights since January 2009. This is not newsworthy! Why not?

Keith Urban is always appearing and donating to charities. However, not many people know this because the media are too busy speculating on his and Nicole’s marriage.

Sometimes I get so sick of how the media portrays the lives of the famous. They’re real people who have a right of privacy. Sure, George and his friend were out in public, but does this deserve the media attention?

INXS with then lead singer, now J.D Fortune
Yesterday on the radio’s news report we thought we heard that INXS were going to perform at the Winter Olympics closing ceremony with J.D Fortune. We thought we heard wrong.

No, it really was happening according to INXS’ Facebook page

George Announces More Australian Dates

December 4th 2009 04:03
George Michael, freedom, australian tour
George
Just last week our friends and us were seriously considering having a road trip to see George Michael in Sydney! Now the road trip is off because George is including Melbourne as well as Perth in his George Michael Live Australian Tour.

I’m sure there are people out there who remember singing along to George’s 1987 classic album Faith! It was very raunchy and full of sexuality, but to this ten year-old who knew every word of every song, Faith was just a great album

A Structured Arias

November 27th 2009 05:40
arias, robbie williams, keith urban
How lame were the Arias last night? It was cringeworthy at the best of times. That Gyton Grantley just did my head in with his fake over-the-top enthusiasm. It was like watching an episode of Playschool!

Until last night I was totally against having Robbie Williams perform and present at OUR music awards, but the sad thing was him and Rove were the most natural presenters there and they weren’t wankery at all

Remembering Michael Jackson's Legacy

June 29th 2009 09:07
Michael Jackson
When I found out that Jackson had died, it was very bizarre. I found myself questioning the whole scenario. You know the heart attack, then the drugs. For someone who loved his children so much, to me the situation is hard to fathom. However, Jackson was a very different human being, one that we may never come to understand.

Around five years of age I was a big Jackson fan. I had pictures of him contacted to my tray. I remember being so distraught when his hair caught fire and being absolutely petified watching the Thriller video! He was definitely a clever man who created a different medium in music videos

Strange Week in Music

June 18th 2009 09:53
The start of the week began with the excitement of an upcoming Keith Urban Australian tour (well this was exciting for me anyway!) I’m counting down the days to the 29th when the tickets for his Melbourne show go on sale.

John Farnham
Meanwhile tickets for John Farnham’s “By Demand” tour are selling like there’s no tomorrow!! My Aunty looked up the ticket prices and they start at $129.00…at The Palais!!! That’s insane! Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes is doing a show there in July and his tickets are $80.00! John is one of Australia’s best performers, but I’m scratching my head about his ticket prices

Rod Thomas
This morning a Rob Thomas song came onto the radio so I wondered when his new single was due out. So I visited Rob’s site and found out that he has his second solo album Cradlesong due out at the end of June.

You can listen to his new single Her Diamonds on his site. You can watch behind-the-scenes footage of the video of Her Diamonds
