   Hi Luce
I was in Row U of the stalls as well!  I was sitting right on the end of the row (seat 19).  You must have been sitting in the same row as me!
Glad you enjoyed the show.  I know I did.  
Madeleine does have a fantastic singing voice and I was very appreciative after the songs.  I was a little bit surprised that after the show, only a handful of people gave her a standing ovation.  About 3 maybe 4 people in the stalls actually gave a standing ovation.  Surely they were treated to a fabulous show from a brilliant singer at the top of her game.  That's why I gave an ovation.

	The show was excellent as you say. I think you misunderstand the audience though. At the end of each song they were very appreciative indeed and you can't deny that. During the songs they were quiet and this, I think, was simply respect to the quality of the music and I think think totally fair. I think people wanted to listen and enjoy - not shout and scream. I couldn't think of anything more absurd for example than a crowd singing along to the songs and depriving themselves of listening to the voice of an outstanding talent. Personally I was silent during the music because I wanted to concentrate on the fabulous art. That's my view for what it's worth and I'm happy it was that way.

	Hi Jonathan! Hey! You must have been that 'other' person making lots of noise last night then !!! Lucky you to be in the front row of the stalls, we were in the stalls but further back in Row U next to the centre aisle! I've just checked the set list I scribbled down and realise that I left Half The Perfect World off my posting, Madie sang that between I'm Alright and Weary Blues! Sorry for the omission there guys!

	Hey there I absolutely agree with you. I felt that the response from the audience was limited. I thought that last night's concert was a blast. She looked terrific on the stage and it looked like she owned it for a couple of hours. Great to see her band have some solo spots throughout the gig. The venue was a perfect platform for her style of singing and she was very audible. I think that the song you're asking about is Half The Perfect World. You might have to check that one. I had a brilliant view point from where I was sitting. I was in row U in the stalls. For anyone who hasn't had the fortune of seeing her yet, be sure to catch her whenever she's in your area. You won't be disappointed. This is film fan saying bye for now.

	Hi Guys! When I last posted on here, Daisy wanted me to come back and give you a review of the London gig ... so here it is! I was 'a little bit' apprehensive prior to going because of what some of you have posted about other shows. I am really pleased to report that tonight's gig was brilliant in all respects. Madeleine did not seem at all stage struck, she was chirpy and chatty between songs and she sang like a bird. Perhaps the only disappointing part of the show was the audience! As a big fan of Madie, I couldn't believe the lack of response from the crowd in as much as seemingly very few people recognised intros early and if they did they certainly didn't make a noise about it! You guys will be glad to hear that the amount of noise I generated hopefully helped to makeup for my fellow countrymens' lack! YeeeHa! I know that a lot of artists think that London crowds are quiet and reticent however, I attend quite a few gigs and this one, I have to say, was the worst audience response I've ever known! I felt rather embarrassed. I can't account for it? Anyway, onto more interesting things, here is the set that Madie played: Blue Alert Don't Cry Baby Don't Wait Too Long Everybody's Talkin' A Little Bit (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night La Javanaise	My Space http://www.myspace.com/love_soup"
