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.

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
