The Corrs return to Perth to kick off their Australian tour
The Irish siblings charm the audience with their nostalgic performance
The Corrs, the beloved Irish sibling band, returned to Australia on Wednesday night to kick off their highly anticipated Australian tour in Perth. It has been 28 years since the release of their breakthrough debut album, and fans were eager to relive the glory days of the 90s.
Unlike many of their peers from that era, such as the notorious Oasis or the fragmented All Saints and Spice Girls, The Corrs have managed to maintain a strong bond and avoid bitter breakups. The secret to their longevity may lie in the fact that family ties run deep within the band. They took a break from touring to start families, adding eight potential future Corrs members to the mix.
The camaraderie and connection among the siblings were evident from the moment they graced the stage. Their performance was reminiscent of their heyday, leaving the audience with a sense of nostalgia and warmth. While The Corrs may not be the epitome of “cool,” their genuine and heartfelt performance was the musical equivalent of a warm hug.
Andrea Corr’s ethereal vocals shine
Andrea Corr, the lead vocalist of the band, showcased her exceptional talent throughout the night. Her vocals soared throughout the arena as she belted out hits like “Runaway” and gave a breathtaking rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s classic “Dreams,” rivaling the iconic Stevie Nicks. Her angelic voice reverberated and captivated the audience, further solidifying her status as a talented frontwoman.
The Irish charm of The Corrs was ever-present, making the crowd feel like they were transported to a time when B*Witched ruled the charts. The band’s performance of “What Can I Do” was nothing short of glorious, and they cleverly interspersed their greatest hits with newer material to keep fans entertained throughout the show.
Natalie Imbruglia fails to win over the audience
Joining The Corrs on their Australian tour was fellow 90s legend Natalie Imbruglia, along with Toni Childs and local Aussie group Germain. While Imbruglia gave it her all, she struggled to win over the Perth audience. Despite her hour-and-a-half set, filled with her big hits, including a powerful rendition of the angsty 90s breakup anthem “Big Mistake,” the crowd seemed in desperate need of an adrenaline shot.
Unfortunately, Imbruglia faced some backlash from an impatient audience member who shouted, “Where are The Corrs?” during her set. This added to her challenge of connecting with the crowd, and even her mention of holding back on performing her biggest hit, “Torn,” was met with disappointment. It was an undeserved lackluster reception for Imbruglia, who showed that her remarkable talent has only grown stronger over the years.
The Australian tour continues
After a successful start in Perth, The Corrs will continue their Australian tour, making stops in Bribie Island, Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, Launceston, and Melbourne. Fans all over the country still have the opportunity to witness the magic of The Corrs’ live performance.
Tickets for the tour are available, and it’s an experience that fans of The Corrs and 90s music enthusiasts should not miss. The nostalgia-inducing performance and the timeless talent of The Corrs guarantee a night of extraordinary live music.
