We made the trip down from Rockhampton with much excitement expecting to hear the best and we did but it was from The Support Act. Thankyou Anthony Callea for making the night for us."

Clearly Whitney is past her prime but I still enjoyed her concert. Beautiful weather and a relaxing atmosphere helped to make it an enjoyable night. Anthony Callea was very good in support, great voice.

....Still had a great night though with the girls. Anyway, food was great, venue is magic, weather was magic, Mark Vincent and Anthony Callea played previous to Whitney, they were awsome.

I thought the Whitney Show was great "you go girl" , Anthony Callea was fantastic, thank you an enjoyable night, Whitney still has the energy and the WOW factor that we all remember, her voice has changed a little but then haven't we all. And I would also like to applaude the audience for showing her the respect she deserves as one of the greatest Divas

....On the other hand, Anthony Callea was amazing and I will pay to see him again!

Couldn't agree more with this ewview...well, with the last line that is. Callea was superb, FANTASTIC voice and a confident and engagig performer Pehaps if Whitney hadn't been so truly amazing in her heyday I might not have expected so much of her, but it's heartbreaking for a fan of her voice to hear what her life choices has left her with vocally.

...Whitney I have been a fan for many years & I willed & hoped you could do it. I wish you well. I appreciate & respect artist such as Anthony Callea who really stole the show even more.

I had such a amazing time. One of the most entertaining shows I have even seen. Such support from the crowd electrified the atmosphere. Whitney is a true superstar. Not perfect, but who is. Spent $195 on a ticket got to see Anthony Callea for about 45 mins on top of Whitney performance. Great value I think. Whitney - " I will always love you" X
