Will Young's latest 'in concert' DVD
Live in London finds the former Exeter Uni politics graduate turned original
Pop Idol champ and latterday Brit Award winner wooing - rather successfully - the largely female party faithful in the cavernous surroundings of Wembley Arena in December 2004. It's a grand stage for a chap who seems rather like a paragon of old-school British inhibition and no amount of hot 'n' loose sub-Cuban grooving ("Over You"), dance exertion or even an invitation to "Light My Fire" results in the breaking of much sweat from his brow. But you can't help warming to his reluctance. Celebrity for celebrity's sake is - quite possibly - some way down the list on Young's priorities and he's evidently working on his more-than-ample talent. And how refreshing that his musical and dancing entourage - far from being faceless supporting technocrats languishing in the shadows - are utterly and democratically integral to the Will Young live experience.
Live in London is also loaded with juicy extras including the videos for "Your Game", "Leave Right Now" and "Friday's Child", interviews and fly-on-the-wall footage of rehearsals, choreography not to mention fooling around in clown's clothing.
