Darren Hayes @ the Enmore Theatre

Enter 90's World!

Yes Darren gave the crowd what they wanted, Savage Garden and how good was it to relive hits like "the Animal Song", "Break Me Shake Me", "Affirmation" and the amazing "Truly, Madly, Deeply", oh the moment.

His solo career songs were a bit hit and miss, the gay camp ones such as "Pop!ular" & "Crush (1980 Me)" but the newer slower self indulgent ones kinda left me looking for the door.

I admire his love for himself and confidence but really his opening speech and speeches in between songs was a little much. He also did some weird kinda drag show in the middle which was a little strange.

The crowd seemed to lap up his performance and look he is vocally strong, his solo work definately doesn't match his Saveg Garden work but in a quick review, the venue suited him, the sound and band very terrific and it was a step back in time event for me.

Darren Hayes, may finally be free to be himself and sing camp synth pop songs.

3 and half 90's grade stars.
