The second show for Amorosi at the Governor Hindmarsh hotel was a hit with audiences who packed into the venue despite the stifling 30+ degree heat of the day.
The 26 year old ARIA award winner performed songs from her latest album ‘Somewhere in the Real World’ which has been a 2 year writing collaboration with musicians and artists all over the United States since signing with Universal Music Australia in 2006.
Amorosi is a born performer, pitch perfect live – listening to her sing is like putting on the CD and cranking the volume until the windows shake!
Treating her fans like a room full of close friends, Amorosi included audience members onstage and even mingled – moving to the back of the room and singing from atop a chair. Her own brand of pop/rock is a hit with fans of the music, and her covers of old favourites had ‘Absolutely everybody’ singing at the top of their lungs as they watched Vanessa ‘Shine’. An audience favourite was the encore performance of the AC-DC hit ‘Long way to the Top’, where the spectators did more of the singing than she did – screaming the lyrics at the top of their lungs!
For fans of the artist this was a mouth watering selection of some of Amarosi’s best music, past and present, and a taste of things to come.

Never was a fan of Vanessa Amorosi until my wife took me to her gig at The Gov. I'm not to sure how to put into words how brilliant she is live, blown away and i now have a new perspective on Australia's best singer.
I saw Vanessa Amorosi last night at Spiegeltent in melbourne and i don't think anything could beat that. Such a fantastic vibe. THE GIRL CAN SING NO DOUBT!!
Finest talent this country has. Such a beauty.
