[Moomba Festival Performance - Report by Anna for VanessaAmorosi.net]

Many fans of Vanessa had their smiles put back on their faces, as the weather conditions allowed the show to finally happen at the MOOMBA Festival yesterday.

Although we had a brief shower that went over the festival fields about an hour before Vanessa’s performance, the crowd was patiently waiting for Vanessa to appear on stage. As usual, the gig was 10 out of 10!

Vanessa was interacting with the public with a smile on her face while trying to get them to sing to the microphone or dragging the on stage with her. A number of fans were moved to tears after Vanessa pointed out a few familiar faces out of the crowd and thanked them for travelling with her (to her shows) for the past couple of years. After her little ’speech’ she dedicated ‘Perfect’ to all her fans which she began singing ‘Stay forever who you are, don’t change a thing, ’cause my fans are perfect’ (See audio at the end of this post).

Vanessa’s appreciation together with her performance was the best reward to those fans who had to put up with the hail storm at the MOOMBA fields on Saturday while waiting for her show. We would like to thank Vanessa and her management for rescheduling her appearance and giving us a chance to see Vanessa perform!

[Moomba Festival Performance - Report by Anna for VanessaAmorosi.net]

A sudden hail storm interrupted the MOOMBA concert in Melbourne at about 3pm last Saturday whilst a band called ‘San Lazaro’ was just beginning their performance.

The sky turned completely black and it didn’t take long before it started hailing very aggressively – the pieces of ice were as big as tennis balls. San Lazaro stopped playing immediately and literally ran away from the stage, which turned white from the hail within a minute. The public cleared the field within minutes as well, trying to cover their heads with rubbish bin covers, chairs and whatever else they could find.

Alexandra Gardens were flooded with hail and deep water within minutes and considering the weather conditions were only getting worse, the event organisers decided to cancel the rest of the concert for safety reasons.

After Vanessa’s Facebook page announced the bad news, it was over flooded with comments from disappointed fans. Although everyone understood why the event had to be cancelled, the fans, some of whom travelled all the way from WA, NSW and rural Victoria were still devastated to miss out on seeing Vanessa perform.

However Vanessa’s management announced on Sunday that her MOOMBA performance was to be rescheduled to the following Monday at 2pm, which was great, considering the disappointed fans from the day before.

MOOMBA attendees were not the only ones who had a reason to be upset. Unfortunately the whole Melbourne was severely damaged during the storm. Check out the articles from ‘The Age’ below:

[Herald Sun - 28-FEB-2010 - Luke Dennehy - 'Amorosi Plays Her Own Tune']

MELBOURNE singer Vanessa Amorosi filmed the new clip for her third single from the Hazardous album — Mr Mysterious — on Friday.

The Sunday Herald Sun had a sneak peek backstage at the clip, which sees Amorosi rock it out old-school style.

The singer, 28, is now comfortable after being plagued for years with selfdoubt.

‘‘This clip has been an absolute blast,’’ she said.

‘‘It is a new venture for me as an artist.

‘‘I am confident now to do the clip I have always wanted to do.’’

Amorosi has just finished touring with Rob Thomas and is preparing for a free concert as part of the Moomba Festival at Alexandra Gardens on Saturday from 8.30pm.

Could Germany see Vanessa Amorosi’s album ‘Hazardous’ released as soon as next month?
Apparently so according to a recent German interview featured on AVIVA-BERLIN.de
– “Her new album, “Hazardous”, will be released in March 2010 but now the Australian superstar talks to AVIVA-Berlin about her inspirations, her new songs and her future plans…”

ALSO – Kate Miller, a reviewer for Take 40, announced to the Twitterverse that she was “At the shoot for Vanessa Amorosi’s new video” last Friday (26-FEB-2010) afternoon. Could Vanessa be set to release a new single from ‘Hazardous’? The title track from the album just slipped out of the ARIA Top50 Singles charts today, so it looks like Universal could be set to release another track to radio in the coming weeks!
Vanessa’s team have been hinting at the choice of Mr Mysterious as the next single, utilising the track as the ‘theme song’ for the official facebook tour diary videos.

Mary J Blige’s new international collaboration ‘Each Tear’ has been posted online, with the Italian version of the track featuring Tiziano Ferro being the first to be debuted.

Vanessa Amorosi will appear on the Australian version of the duet, while Jay Sean will appear on the UK release.

Check out the music video featuring Tiziano Ferro below. We assume the Australian version of the video will be the same, with the scenes featuring Tiziano replaced by ones shot with Vanessa.



Vanessa Amorosi appeared similarly on the Australian version of Hoobastank’s ‘The Letter’ last year, while other guest performers were used in other markets – including the Japanese version we posted last August featuring Anna Tsuchiya.

Mary J Blige will re-release her new album ‘Stronger With Each Tear’ in Australia on April 23rd, with it including the Vanessa Amorosi version of ‘Each Tear’.

Vanessa Amorosi features on the cover of this weeks WHO magazine, a special ‘Body’ issue featuring celebrities discussing their body battles.
