Rebecca Ferguson, Club Akvárium Budapest, 9 July
- 16 Apr 2014 9:02 AM
It's a relatively rare occasion for a female singer on the verge of global star-status to perform in Budapest, but the not-too-secretive goal of Club Akvárium was to make sure the tour buses wouldn't stop in Vienna, but rather to finally get a growing number of exciting, fresh and up-to-date acts to visit our country as well.
Rebecca Ferguson is one of the most original soul-R&B female singers around, who gave birth to her children at the tender age of 17 and 19 and thus had to give up her plans of becoming a singer, only to enter talent search competitions and finally make it to the finals of the seventh season of the British X-Factor.
Although she failed to win the competition, she was still the great success of the season with Adele – the most successful singer of talent shows – as her biggest fan, who alone sent 80 text messages to help Rebecca with the voting in the competition. In fact, after her album – which went double-platinum in Great Britain – Adele helped kick-start her career in America and sure enough, she won them over, too.
Hungarian radio audiences are surely familiar with her hit I Hope and her song Glitter & Gold and this will probably be the last chance to see her performing in a club, up close and personal, since next time she'll most likely be performing in an arena.
