I can now say I have witnessed an American Idol in action, Kelly clarkson looking a few pounds heavier singing 6 songs, only one of which I have heard but can no longer remember.  Also got to see White lies (think Joy Division, Smiths and The Killers rolled into one), Ladyhawk, Chris Cornell (of ex-Soundgarden fame) and also Sarah Cox, who very kindly posed for a photo and passed the night with some banter about whether she looked good or should just have pulled a face.  It sounds like this was a close up conversation but was actually over 3 feet while she introduced a few bands that weren't there, bloke from Take That and Starsailor.  The magic of TV, with some compare bod getting the crowd to rock out to random music just in case the bands were shit.  Seemed that everyone was there for Kelly!  Happy birthday to the girl I was with by the way.
