a-chan Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Flo's performance at the Grammy's!! Here the all tribute (she's doing back up vocals all along) but her solo is at 4min25 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v-SYKJC80c]YouTube - 2011 Grammy Performacne - Aretha Franklin Tribute (Aguilera, McBride, Hudson, Adams, and Welsh)[/ame] She did good despite the fact I don't think the song fitted her that well... And her voice sonded kinda like different from usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The only thing I know about Esperanza Spalding is that Obama likes her music. I doubt that's a big enough endorsement for Grammy voters (at least, I hope it isn't), and people are calling this as big of an upset as The Suburbs' win for Album of the Year. Flo's performance made the lengthy tribute a whole lot more bearable, and Grammy or not, we still love her and her dress. I went stalking at Staples Center with a few buddies yesterday, and though we spotted a few stars, they were limited and sadly Flo was not one of them. (No, instead we got mowed down by crazy teenage girls crowding around the truck carrying Lady Gaga in her egg thing. Oh well, at least now I can say I saw Gaga in person without actually having to see her perform. :laugh3:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with the Grammy stalking, The Suburbs winning, and the new Radiohead album news, this is the best past 24 hours of my life. She's still touring??? :stunned: Hey, ho Flo, stop touring and make a new album :whip: I don't know how she can take it, it's been more than 3 years she's been touring Lungs! She must be so sick of it?!! (I would at her place XD) Anyway, have fun and go with the Floooooo...

Corkus Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, even though she's taking half a year off from touring (which is like...hardly any time at all if you think about it), she's still making plenty of TV appearances and undoubtedly recording for her new album. This probably means we'll be hearing some new songs, though, especially since she commented about playing some new stuff when she opens for U2. There's currently an exclusive pre-sale for a few of the dates, but they're super-expensive (way more than Ticketmaster prices) and all you get as a bonus is an exclusive poster. But I'm stupidly in love with the woman and took the plunge. :facepalm: That and I wanted to avoid the Ticketmaster headaches. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I think you made a smart move to buy at the pre-sale actually! Tickets for Flo are really hard to get (not in France) but for her show in London, the pre-sale was sold out the minute it was opened (thx to some bug from Ticketmaster and co)... INSANE!! So I manage to get cheap tix on gigantours but we where way up on the upper gallery and we ended up in the stairs of the venue... :dozey: The tickets were sold in less an hour! I don't remember, is this the first time you're seeing her?? In any case, you'll have a blast :awesome: Please bring out some pics for your fellow flobsessed XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, the ticket confirmation didn't specify what type of seating it was, but I'm hoping for GA. The GA pit at this venue is actually very tiny, but the place is really pretty and has a lovely forest-like setting. And it shall be my second time seeing her. The first time was what turned me from "loyal fan" into "hardcore obsessed fanboy". :lol: EDIT: Second LA date announced already? That was quick. Hmm...dare I go for both nights? I'll give it some thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Oh snap, Ticketmaster just removed the listing for the second LA show! :stunned: I have a feeling I saw something I wasn't supposed to see! :laugh3: I assume they'll throw it back up once the first night sells out, which it obviously will very quickly. BTW, today's spontaneous pre-sale sold out a few hours ago, which makes me feel a lot better about my impulsive purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-chan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Perez Hilton said today on his site that Flo will be touring the US this summmer (giving the 'source', take that with a pinch of salt). But this means no european festivals this summer :bigcry: I was hoping to catch her...oh well, I guess the rest of the world have the right to have her, but still, it's been a year since she has been in Europe...! But another tour....how will she hold it up at this rythm!! --edit--------- Found this, it's the american writer music association: http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=2755073&search_in=c&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=25&start=1 Flo's full name is Florence Léontine Mary :lol: Léontine is such an old fashion name!

Corkus Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Curses, I was right about Night 2 being announced in LA, but I didn't expect them to go on sale immediately as Night 1 sold out and without any prior notice. Guess I'll have to live with only seeing her on the first night. She's playing Bonnaroo, but I have a sliver of hope she ends up playing Lollapalooza, as I already have travel plans for that. Then again, she's already playing Chicago in June and you have that whole business about festival proximity clauses, so I don't have high hopes for that. But seeing how quickly the LA show sold out, I am now extremely glad I pounced on that presale, even if it was way more expensive. Their e-mail response to me says I'm guaranteed either GA or a spot in the very front seated section, but I won't find out until the day of the show. Arrgh, the massive suspense! :bomb: Hope the rest of you U.S. fans were able to get tickets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sorry about that. I like when artists handle sales through their own websites and such as to spare their fans Ticketmaster's methods, as my experience with TM is rarely a positive one. By "the boys", I assume you mean Coldplay, and they can probably alleviate things GA-wise if they make more space GA rather than dedicating a small section of the floor to the pit and having most of the floor seated like they did last tour. I wasn't a fan of my Coldplay floor-seated experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't understand how you can not know where you are... :inquisitive: I mean, if you're standing, not matter where, you know what to expect, but when seated, the website shows where you're seats are before paiement...does it's not like that in the US?

It's what happen for the Hammersmith shows....Ticketmaster is HELL!!! I don't understand how a show can be sold out the minute the sell is open?!!
