Eliza Doolittle….Supporting Alphabeat. Manchester Academy 2. 24th April 2010.

Posted on by

Since last year I’ve been a fan of Eliza Doolittle. I remember hearing Running For Life on the Adulthood soundtrack, then seeing the video to Skinny Genes and just being in awe. I adore her and just think she is such a talented person. A few weeks ago I emailed to see if I could have an interview with her, and on Saturday- I did. We even played Word Association. I also tried to get her to play Creep during her set. Didn’t happen. It will one day, seriously, she needs to do it live because it is better than Radiohead’s version. Easily.

She comes on stage and opens with a gorgeous song that I cannot remember the name of, but it was lovely. I’m useless at remembering song names. But, she did play Money Box, Skinny Genes (which me and my best mate sang to each other and did the whistling parts….badly!), A Smokey Room (which was amazing!),Go Home, new single- Pack Up and my FAVOURITE Rollerblades. I’m sure I shouted “COME BACK” when she left the stage. I have no idea what anybody else thought of her, all I know is that she is one of my favourite singers around right now and is a joy to watch live.

Her album is out in the summer and I reckon it’ll be THE album of the summer, but again- it’s just my own opinion 🙂

Sorry about my face haha.

A few things….

I will attempt to type up my interview with Eliza Doolittle this week, promise.

I need to stop looking at Nikes. It’s not helping.

Eliza Doolittle is just lovely. She was an honour to interview. Just beautiful. And live?! Oh my god. Stunning. She sang Rollerblades which resulted in me making the weirdest noise at my best friend and having a fit.  I’ll write a review in a bit.

Alphabeat were a joy to hang out with.

I’m watching a documemtary about Beach Boys. I adore them. They were a messed up bunch but made beautiful music.

I bought a lot of humous today.

For every singer that is tipped to be big, there’s always one or two that are slightly ignored. I don’t like that. I particularly don’t like this happening to singers or bands that I love.

Eliza Doolittle is beautiful and talented. I’m sure some twit will compare her to Kate Nash just because it’s easy to lump them all with the same comparison every bloody time!

This is her cover of Creep by Radiohead. I’m not a fan of Radiohead to be honest, and I do love this cover. The emotion in her voice and the setting…it’s just wonderful.
