Live Life In Songs: He can run, he can hide, but he can't "Escape" London's love!

Do you want to go see Enrique Iglesias? Me, oh yes I do! Power pop at it's best and a hot bod to watch strutting his stuff. Who wouldn't turn down a night of such pure guilty pleasure?! I'm not ashamed to admit, I love a bit of Enrique and yes I do know most of the words to most of his songs! After a long week of twelve hour days it was just the therapy I needed!

After a somewhat delayed start to the show, the audience was rearing to go. An effervescent Enrique bounded onto the stage in an explosion of energy. Toned and dressed down in jeans and a t-shirt, he's still very much drool worthy!

With three stages set out in the O2 to perform from, this meant he could get close to his audience. He tells London that it's been ten years but they are by far the best crowd he's had and he appreciates it.

It's clear that he means it too. That's exactly what Enrique likes to do, make every member of the crowd feel like they are part of the show. At this he excels and they grasp at his every move. Without a doubt he commands the stage and the crowd become his puppets, in some cases quite literally as he pulls unsuspecting audience members up on stage.

Once there he makes them feel at home, asks them their names and where they're from. He then serves them Jack Daniels and sings to them. You can see the girl quivering with nerves and most probably intoxicated with desire and the guy, well he too goes weak at the knees and melts into a lustful haze as Enrique works casts his spell on them. He takes audience participation one step further as during his first encore he pulls up a middle aged woman, clad in fangirl T-Shirt and cowboy hat and makes her dreams and fantasies come true as he sings "Hero" to her. He dances around with her and being the joking type she squeezes his buttocks and plays right back at him. I'm surprised she didn't faint when he shoved her rouge cheeked face up his T-Shirt against his sweaty chest and popped her head out against his face. I'm sure a heart was racing and it sure wasn't his!

The production wasn't in slightest bit grandiose but people weren't there for a fancy stage set, that would only distract from the beauty up on stage! His backing singers did a sterling job and kept the show rolling when he slipped on impromptu sprinting sessions across the stage and into the audience.

He wasn't pitch perfect but nobody expected that of him anyway so it didn't matter. He is one of the warmest and most genuine performers to grace the stage. With every song he sang, all his greatest hits including "Rhythm Divine," "Bailamos," "Takin' Back My Love," "Tonight I'm Fucking You," the audience were in fiery spirit and sang along relentlessly.

Closing the show with the epic pop ballad, "Escape" he called on security to "let London do whatever the hell they want!" People streamed down to the runway of the thrust stage to come closer to their "God" whilst streamers and giant balloons filled the arena to send the show out in one big celebration.
