59 feels I had at last night’s Sam Smith concert

Possibly the best singer in the whole world.

Where am I?
Is this the right concert?
It’s packed out. And vibing. With a raucous mosh. Rod Laver Arena is packed out and vibing with a raucous mosh. For a guy who sings with the most dulcet of tones
A curtain has dropped to reveal…. Another curtain. Crowd is screaming
I really like Sam Smith, but clearly not as much as these guys
In an act that can only be explained by magic (and drop lighting and a semi sheer curtain) Sam appears centre stage in a pool of light
Curtain drops revealing thankfully no third curtain
Mosh remains raucous
And my holy God dear Lord this man has the voice of an angel. I will hereby refer to him as Angel Smith
He is also better looking than I remember
He is also putting on this really weird half American half British voice? It sounds kind of like Kylie Minogue post neighbours after taking elocution lessons to cover her bogan accent. But mixed with the unsettling softness of Michael Jackson in his later years
He is also dropping the ends off all his words
Thank you very mu-
I love you all so mu-
Please stop talking. Just sing.
He just asked the crowd to stand and those in seats are reallllly not sure about it
They were not expecting to have to stand at a Sam Smith concert. To be honest neither was I
Crowd is now half standing half sitting. But EVERYONE is awks
The standing half sits at first available opportunity
Except mosh of course. They’re raucous
Lady in the front is going nuts to ‘I’m Not the Only One’. She most definitely has been cheated on
Emotional monologue about Sam finding himself through his music intertwined with plug for his upcoming album
But holy hell his voice is flawless
His vocal control is amazing
He’s like an angelic autotune
“Sing back to me! He’ll never love you like a can can can”
But no one can quite reach the notes…
The lady in front of me is literally filming the entire concert on her iPhone. Seriously who has the battery life for that??
We’ve entered Motown territory
And now the backing vocalists are singing solooooos
This is actually sick
The talent on that stage is unreal
And one of the chicks’ name is Madonna. YES
Sam has now walked off stage and the other 3 are singing ‘Le Freak’
And everyone loves it. Not even sure they know he’s gone
No wait, some 16-year-olds look confused. They’ve definitely realised
And pianoooooo is coming out
We’ve now entered ballad town. Population Sam
So much romance in this room right now
Very romance. Much karaoke. Many mobile phone
God this guy’s good
Even his facial expressions. He’s sold it to me. Whatever he is selling I am buying. I don’t even know what it is but I am sold
Now singing ‘La La La’ and I FORGOT HE DID THIS SONG
He needs more bangers like this. His talents are way too under-utilised. He needs to pull a David Guetta and collaborate with every artist and be on every song on the radio
He’s backed it up with ‘Money on My Mind’
Yessssssss
And we’re done
(Technically)
Cue a wayyyy overextended encore
He’s almost lost momentum
HAS ALMOST LOST MOMENTUM
But he missed ‘Stay With Me’ so obv he’s coming back
And we’re back with ‘Latch’ followed by ‘Stay With Me’ (of course)
This has to be the most romantic song ever written by a one night stand ever
Everyone in the stadium is waving their hands at Sam’s one night stand
Woooo go Sam
Thank you so mu-
I love you so mu-
Good nu-
