Don't Stop Believing 4 - London
After we made a last minute decision to see Ana in London on "Don’t Stop Believing" we finally made our way to London on 7th August 2010. Nati and I departed from Lübeck to London. We spent a wonderful but exhausting day. Later in the evening we went to Maidstone where the studios of "Don’t Stop Believing" were located. Because there was only one entrance on the whole area we decided to wait there the next morning and wanted to see if we could at least wave at Anastacia if she should pass us.
On Sunday we decided to wait there from 9 in the morning and kept waiting and waiting. All for nothing… At noon the entrance for the spectators started. About 1 pm a security asked us if we didn’t want to go inside. We said no because we were still waiting for Ana. However the security man told us that all the jury members are already in the building. Well that was about it, we thought and went inside where the other spectators were queuing.
As we had priority tickets the entry was ensured for us. Then we had to wait again. Unfortunately a couple that is watching the show live every weekend told us that the judges are leaving immediately when the show finishes. We gave up all our hopes to see Anastacia at least after the show. But then again things turn never out the way you expect. An opportunity appeared that we would have a date after the show and we were looking forward to it like crazy.
Short before the entrance to the studios started a security contacted us and told us that she will take us backstage to meet Anastacia after the show. Then the show started and Anastacia looked stunning! During the first break we recognized that Anastacia was looking for us in the audience because she knew that we were there. We waved and she approved that she discovered us by sending back "Love Hands". During the next break she again eye contacted us. She laughed and was shaking her head as she was about to say "you are nuts to come to London just to see me".
When the show ended we were waiting for the security to pick us up. She came and led us backstage. Ana was doing another interview so we were supposed to wait a little longer. In the meantime Shawn got to us and welcomed us warmly. She offered some drinks and said that Ana would come in a minute. Finally the big moment came and Ana walked into the door and hugged us. We went to another room to have a bit more silence, chatted to her and, took pictures and she gave us autographs.
In between some other people stepped in who wanted to make pictures with Ana. We stayed with her all the time and had lots of fun. You could easily recognize that she was happy about us being there. We were all so happy in that very moment and then we had to say goodbye. Shawn showed us to the door and we went back to the hotel still being on cloud nine. Thank you very much to all the people that made this happen.

Anastacia in Hello! Magazine
Thanks Karen for letting us know that Anastacia is in this week's issue of Hello! Magazine (issue 1136). The title of the article is "SMALL TALK: A fruit Salad with Anastacia" (thanks Sam for letting us know). We hope to get some scans soon.

Anastacia Proud To Show Off 'Survival' Scar
Pop star ANASTACIA was too embarrassed to show off her scar from surgery for Crohn's disease until she turned 30, when she realised the mark was a sign of her survival.
The I'm Outta Love singer was diagnosed with the illness - a severe inflammatory bowel disease - when she was just 13 years old, and had to undergo an emergency operation to remove an obstruction in her digestive system.
The surgery left her with a visible scar on her stomach, and Anastacia admits she was ashamed of anyone spotting the mark - but now she sees it as a badge of honour.
She tells Britain's Hello magazine, "I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory condition of the bowel... I found a lump in my abdomen and that's when doctors discovered I had Crohn's. I have a four-inch scar on my tummy where surgeons removed this mass from inside. I used to be ashamed of this scar but by the time I was 30 I didn't mind flashing my belly. To me the scar is like a war wound - it proves I survived."

Concert in Sardinia
Last night Anastacia gave a concert in the Hotel Cala di Volpe on Costa Smeralda, Sardinia/Italy! She did a soundcheck around 4.30 pm and rehearsed I can feel you, Why'd you lie to me, I call it love and I belong to you. Thanks to circus90 for the information. The first photos from the show appeared and she looked stunning!!! Have a look at the pictures here, and also at Anastacia-Addict!
Edit: Also a short video from the show appeared on RAI.TV, thanks to Sabry for posting the link!

The article says:
"A night filled with great music and glamour. Anastacia has been the real star of the night. Her yesterday's concert has been amazing. Lot of vips among the audience, and people who could afford to pay almost 1000€. Before the concert there was also a 'fireworks' show. Anastacia spent two days in Sardinia before the concert, and she sang her major hits pop and soul." Thanks ForeverFreak for the translation.

And here now the setlist from yesterdays show, credits go to stacyforever and Omar!

Why'd you lie to me
I can feel you
One day in your life
Cowboys & Kisses
Paid my dues
You'll never be alone

Anastacia has written a new blog

A long overdue Hello!!

Hi Fan-ily

A Loooooong and overdue HELLO to everyone!!!!!
As many of you guys know I'm a judge on a new competition reality show in the UK called Don't Stop Believing.....I did the fourth episode last Sunday with only two more left.

I am having such a good time on the show!!! It is so refreshing being part of a show that emphasizes the love for music and singing with no age or size limitations!!!

I wanted to send a special thank you to everyone for all the support during some personal changes in my life in the past few months..... I was blessed during this time to have the duet presented to me from Dima Bilan... The song was a perfect way for me to share how I felt about my fan-ily!!!!!! I knew it was meant to be!!! I dedicated the song Safety to all my fans!!! The words say everything I feel for you guys!!!

Ok, on that note, I was a guest on this song, technically, so I know I have gotten a few of you guys asking about the video and its meaning....
The video shows Dima in a place that many artists find themselves in....the media, tabloids, paparazzi have trapped him in a corner leaving him angry and at a loss for his passion for music.....

Just like the woman who hits him with her car connects with his humaness and decides to delete the pictures she could have made so much money selling, his heart starts feeling alive as this woman inspires his musical heart....his ability to go back to performing is made alive again by performing with Anastacia(Me!!! Hee hee)....sweet and simple!!! And for me my fans were my inspiration that pulled me out of many a dark and challenging time!!!!

There are some great plans for my official website over the next few months!! I am working on re-designing the site.....I am going to blog regularly along with consistent video blogs!!! And I will eventually join the twitter world!!

I really want the official website to be a home for all my fans to come together in community.... I am so touched that so many of you have your own dedicated websites!! I hope my site can be an anchor for everyone and I promise to update the site regarding what I am doing....
I know a few of you will be at my show in Portugal next week!!! I think you will be very happy with the set list....((-:

Concert at Albufeira, Portugal

Holidays in Albufeira/Portugal

Because the Albufeira concert happened to take place during our holiday time, we thought we could combine with holiday trip. Off we went into a travel agency. But it wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be. It took us a long time and strong nerves because the "last minute offers" became rather expensive than cheap. Eventually we made our booking throught the internet.
We started our journey on 14th August in the early morning when we made our way to Munich airport. We were looking forward to the flight  and when we stopped over in Lisbon it got even better. It was warm, the sun was shining from the blue heaven – pure holiday feelings!
When we arrived in Faro we unfortunately recognized that our luggage obviously didn’t want to join us because it didn’t arrive. After we clarified all the formalities we went to the hotel without our suitcases. There we were, in our apartment with nothing to wear than what we’ve been wearing already. TAP (the Portuguese airline) told us that our luggage would arrive around 4 pm with the first airplane on Sunday. Okay, we thought we’d spent the first night with getting the basic things for our stay. Toothbrushes, shower gel and some flip flops  were not hard to find but it was a bit more difficult with t-shirts and underwear.
After dinner we had to go downtown by cap and thank god some souvenir shops were still open. All we could find were short pants but still we did not find any t-shirts. Because our mobile chargers had been in the suitcases too we had to buy those too because our batteries were running low and we had to stay in touch with the airline to get our suitcases. After a long search we finally found a Chinese shop who had at least a Nokia charger but we still missed a charger for Babs iPhone.
Okay this was just another item on our list but still no shirts in sight. Finally we found a shop that did prints on shirts. We went in and came out with shirts which’s print said "TAP lost my luggage… have a nice holiday!" And because it was so nicely done we made another one for Anastacia. It said "Cougar" and had a original Puma Sign lateral over it. It looked really nice!
As expected our luggage did NOT arrive on Sunday and slowly we got a little angry because we’ve booked dolphin swimming for Monday in Zoomarine. Swimming with dolphins without bikinis, lenses, without anything was impossible actually. So we spent a second night shopping swim suits and the other stuff.  Just barely we found all the stuff we needed and the dolphin day was saved.
Andrea and Rita arrived Sunday and we spent some time with them in a beach restaurant. We had a wonderful evening. The two girls have been kind enough to get a charger for Babs iPhone and pain blockers at the airport. Yeahh we’ve been available for everyone – just TAP didn’t want to call us.
Monday we spent an amazing day in Zoomarine and the dolphin swimming was simply stunning and indescribable. Hey and our suitcases arrived! Hurra!!! Finally clean and own clothes. I never thought that I could be so excited about my own clothes. Well it definitely was that way. Tired and looking forward to the next day we went to bed.
Tuesday, Andrea, Rita and us went to the concert area by rental car after breakfast. There we met Andrea and Andreas (aka Rummelchen). They arrived Monday and went back home right after the concert. There had also been some Portuguese fans already. Some even stayed over night because they didn’t book a hotel.
A mixed crowd of wonderful people. The waiting was rather relaxed and enjoyable. Around 6 pm Anastacia had the sound check on stage. She didn’t expect us to see it and said that she was only a fata morgana and that she had a surprise for us that she could not rehearse now. When she rehearsed "Sick And Tired" she let us sing the chorus and rated it "very good".
Around 8 pm it’d became serious and we stood in front of the doors. This time we had to run for the first row. And there we ran across the bumpy golf space. Gasping but glad to have the fences right in front of us, I was waiting for Babs, Rita and Andrea. Mr Rummel stood in front of me and reserved another place for his wife. We sat down because the show was expected to start 10 pm. Unfortunately the waiting til the start of the show was rather uncomfortable because people were pushing and tucking us. This is so unnecessary when it could have been fair like we’ve seen it a couple of times already. Who gets there at 7 pm cannot expect to get front row positions.
At 11 pm it finally started and Anastacia went on stage in her green-black-flowered dress. At the beginning she also wore a black jacket which she took off while performing "You’ll Never Be Alone". Her hair was similar to her hair do in the "Welcome To My Truth" video. And I don’t have to mention the shoes, high-higher-Anastacia.
She made her jokes between the songs and when she wanted to sit down on the stool during "You’ll Never Be Alone" she recognized that it was much too high. She jumped up and down, laid body all over it to push it down. She said it she was normal and had her feet on the ground. The excitement grew stronger when she announced a song that she had never sung live before and that this song was the surprise she was talking about online all the time. It was "Underground Army" which caused goosebumps all the way!!!
It was a wonderful concert and I had to realize once more that Anastacia is the best live performer of the world at least for me and she was born to be on stage. She is thrilling the audience again and again and makes them sing and clap. She reaches the audience like no other with humor, power and a lot of emotions. She transfers something unique and recognizes everything that is up with the audience.
As encore she performed "Heavy Rotation" and "Left Outside Alone" and after that the lights turned out once more. After the concert we were lucky enough to meet Anastacia in the golf club. She greeted us warmly and with kisses & hugs and we talked about all and sundry and dolphins. She said she was a dolphin in an pre-existence. She loves dolphins.
It became pretty late or early morning but she said she wanted to do a little greeting to the fan-world. We have no idea what was in that Fanta Zero tin maybe she even wanted to greet dolphins but we fell about laughing. You better check out the "After show greetings" on our youtube channel. Together we left the dressing room and the spa area of the golf club. Anastacia checked if there was nobody missing and said this was her job, to always check if nothing got lost. When we said goodbye she once again hugged and kissed us and said "I Love You"! Pretty satisfied we walked towards the car and had to say goodbye to the Rummelchens. They made their way to the airport and we brought Andrea and Rita back to their hotel. After another three beautiful days in Portugal we got back home and back in our everyday life.
