I regularly write for a newsletter (aren't I good) called 'Rock on Review' and I thought that I might as well put the articles that I have written on my website. These articles are pretty obssessive sounds I know. Sorry about the font size - lol I'll fix it soon. But it's better than my other goddam ugly site you have to admit.

Janet Jackson and Human Nature (Brisbane Entertainment Centre 7/12/98)
When I first arrived at the entertainment centre I was only there to see my four favourite guys from Sydney, Human Nature, perform tracks from their new album as well as twisted versions of some old songs.
We all started to go into the entertainment centre at 7.00 pm and the concert didn’t start until 7.30 pm, but of course we all didn’t mind waiting half an hour for Human Nature to come on. The time seemed to drag as we all sat on the floor waiting, with my mum making comments like "Does my hair look alright? I have to look my best for Toby!"
The moment finally came and Human Nature came on the stage singing ‘Telling Everybody’. They were wearing silver and blue outfits and when Andrew and Toby took their jackets off they even had sparkles on their singlet tops. Andrew said that seeing it was the first show of the tour it was the first place that they had ever performed their singles ‘Don’t Cry’ and ‘Send it in a Letter’. I took quite a few photos of Michael and Andrew and also photos of the whole band together. The guys even sung ‘Everytime you Cry’ in Calypso style and it was great.
About 45 minutes after HN left the stage Janet came on and her show was spectacular. It contained fireworks and a big screen so no matter where you were you could see her clearly. She performed both old and new tracks and the dancers were fabulous. The show was actually exactly the same as the special which was shown on 5/12/98 at 9.30 pm on channel 10.
It was a great night all round. Of course I enjoyed HN and I even enjoyed Janet more than I first thought I would.

JOHN FARNHAM - I CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S 50 TOUR
Well, what can I say this show would certainly have to rate high above the previous concerts that I have gone to. (Except for the Human Nature concert of course!!!)
The show opened with John’s son Robert’s band Nana Zharmi which I think came as a bit of a shock to the older generation as they played heavy metal and were extremely loud. They played a couple of their songs and then they left the stage. Then Ross Wilson came on and sung one of his own songs and one of John’s songs. Then he was followed by Merril Bainbridge, James Reyne, Kate Ceberano and then finally Human Nature. Each of these artists performed one of their own songs as well as one of John’s songs.
After the interval John came on stage and performed heaps of his songs both old and new then each of the above artists came on one by one singing a duet with John, one of the highlights being him singing a song accapella with Human Nature and them also performing the smash hit ‘Everytime You Cry’. The night ended with all the artists on stage singing ‘Your the Voice’ which was an absolutely fabulous end to the evening. The concert is to be screened on television on Monday the 5th July.
