I don’t like bringing negative news here but I feel it needs to be said as a fan for the last 30+ years…since the album release Will and his team have really dropped the ball on this come back. All I’m seeing is a lot of people cracking jokes and stuff like this doesn’t help. Any hope for season 2 and 3 of BOATS is dwindling. We knew the tours weren’t going to be huge stadium shows. They’re small, intimate events. Fans came out and supported. Why would they resort to using AI? It’s pretty blatant.
 

As a fan I’ve just been really disappointed with this entire roll out. After waiting so long for new music, getting a few decent tracks, then getting stuff like pretty girls coupled with controversy like this it’s just hard to watch. I don’t know what Will and his team think they’re accomplishing here but it’s not helping.

All I can say is wow. Last night was the best concert I’ve ever been to. It was even better than Blackpool. Will has so much energy, it just sort of radiates off him. I saw Jeff a few months ago and I can say the same about both of them. They have the same energy as they had 40 years ago. You can tell they are both lifelong entertainers. 
 

The show had everything. Nostalgia with the FPOBA theme tune, the Apache dance and the tribute to uncle Phil. His older hits are obviously big tunes for everyone. His newer stuff went down well. He did a good job setting up “You can make it” so everyone got into it. “Work of art” was great but he had to stop half way as someone was about to collapse ( very hot and cramped up front) so we missed a chunk. He put “ get lit” in. Although none of us like the song, he gets the crowd into it.

I was very excited to see WWW as he didn’t do it in Blackpool. The production was incredible with the backdrop, the dancers and that male singer is incredible.

Seeing the Oscar in real life was fab and it was nice to see him proud of it. I think the last few years you could see Will lost some of his sparkle but seeing him on stage he looked so happy and he soaked up the crowd when they shouted his name. I hope from this he does more shows, especially for you guys in America and Australia. He clearly loved every second.

It was great spending it with big fans, we did JJFP.com proud by yelling those BNF lyrics louder than anyone. And I got a shout of from Will coz I made a sign saying “I’m not even real, I’m A.I” and laughed and read it out.

I love this.  I'm glad it was a great time. The clips fromt he tour have looked great, so it's good to hear that the lives up to the hype.  I had no doubt that it would. 

I hope he does do some shows in the US. It's tough.  The US is so jaded. They've turned hard on so many iconic artists that they used to embrace.  Artists like Will, Jennifer Lopez, who have tons of hits, who were so univerally loved now get the side eye for some reason.  Social media comments are often cruel. That's why there are US artists who are only/mostly touring internationally.

The US audience especially in today's era have no respect for the OG's and the greats that's had long lasting careers fans are so fickle now they'll turn on you on a dime i don't blame the artist like JLo, FP and other oldschool artist to not ever want to tour in america anymore. Thank you! Juile for giving us who can't be there an idea of what the shows are like. 

 

When FP announced the tour date locations i was so bummed but seeing how he's being clowned by the public i don't even blame him there's no us dates it just sucks for us who want to see him atleast once at a show.
