Review of Ellie Goulding Gig for Q Magazine

Ellie Goulding is still new to the scene, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to put on a show. She was headlining at the UEA on Wednesday 24^th November and she put on an amazing show, constantly interacting with the audience whilst singing her number 1 singles. The whole time the audience were singing a long she was loving it, but who wouldn’t love singing all their songs and hearing them being sung back? The crowd were going mad for her, young boys shouting how much they loved her but she just blushed it off. Showing she is just a normal, down to earth person, she would sometimes interact with some sarcastic comments, which I think helps the audience to relate to her better. She sang her cover of Elton John’s ‘Your song’ beautifully the whole crowd were singing a long, one member of the crowd even shouted ‘You’re better than Elton, Ellie. I love you!’ and the rest of the crowd cheered in agreement, once again she blushed it off. Whenever she went off stage the crowd would chant for her to come back, and when she did re-appear they went mad, screaming, jumping, all sorts. When she was finished, and left the whole venue was filled with a buzz for Ellie Goulding.
