Well, Great showman, great ambiance even in that big room. Especially, great musician, as he undoubtly proves it. And yeah, Jamie, "Ca Dechire" litterally means "It tears". "DeutÈ" -> moitiÈ. In marseille, don't forget to scream "AÔoli !", they'll appreciate. Pronounce A-io-lee, with a very strong accent on the O!. [to webmaster, please pass the message] Unfortunately, Bush is not such an idiot. He plays it tooo well...

I went to this gig, and I just wanted to say that it was..... pretty awesome. Really, a real big and famous place, a real small and famous artist ! I'm still upset, now, so I couldn't say everything here but you have to know that it was really amazing ! Jamie is definitely fantastic. By the way, it was the second time I met Jamie (but without the band, yesterday) and I just wanted to say... Jamie, you're absolutely amazing, and you are so nice... Tu es trËs gentil ! Et tu parles trËs bien franÁais (you speak French very well) ! But I'm not gay ! And sometimes I regret ! Just keep on rockin' like that, Jamie, Geoff, Seb, Tom, Rorry... and the others !

travelled all the way from leicester to paris for this one! the zenith was a really nice venue, once we found it, got lost round by the canal a few times but got in just before the start! jamie once again gave 110%, playing an excellent 2hr 20 min set and singing one song in french, big crowd pleaser. all the usual faves were played along with little snaps of "sexy back" jt and pussycat dolls and also a great cover of massive attacks teardrop and the wizard of oz "if i only had a brain" dedicated to george bush! i love jamie cullum, ive seen him in leicester, cardiff, thetford and now paris and im off to lille at the end of the month! and im a metal fan!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep on rocking jc! p.s cover queens of the stone age.... no one knows, melissa

J'ai encore beaucoup de progrËs ‡ faire en anglais mais une chose est s?re, c'est que ce soir-l‡, Jamie a ravi plus d'une personne en s'exprimant en dans un franÁais tout ‡ fait correct mÍme s'il Ètait guidÈ de temps en temps par Sebastian !!!! C'est un effort que j'apprÈcie beaucoup et je n'Ètais pas la seule !!!.... Il ne l'avait pas fait ‡ Marciac !!! Bon pour le concert, j'ai encore pris de l'Ènergie en pleine face et Áa c'est du vrai bonheur. Quelle pÍche, Jamie !!! J'ai adorÈ la chanson "menteur comme toi" et tout le mÈlange de "how deep is the ocean" et de "what a diffence a day made".J'ai trouvÈ le concert un peu moins jazz que d'habitude, avec beaucoup de rythmique funk. Non sans me dÈplaire !!! J'ai apprÈciÈ les solos de Rory et son Ècoute vis ‡ vis de Jamie. Lorsque celui-ci interprete un morceau et fait un rappel d'un standard jazz, Rory entend de suite et le suis ‡ la trompette. J'ai mÍme cru voir de la surprise dans le regard de Jamie ‡ ce moment-l‡. Bien, bon musicien !!! Les autres, on le savait dÈj‡..... qu'ils Ètaient une trËs bonne rythmique !!!! Quand ‡ Sam, l'homme orchestre.... rien ‡ dire, super !! La premiËre partie Ètait pas mal non plus, ‡ part un petit moment o? le chanteur semblait un peu perdu sans sa guitare et semblait chercher la tonalitÈ du morceau tout au long de celui-ci. Le contrebassiste "human box" Ètait impressionnant. Sinon, bonne Ènergie aussi et musique trËs sympathique. Bref un super concert, je ne sais pas si je ne vais pas aller ‡ San SÈbastian, le 11 novembre, histoire de faire le plein d'Ènergie pour l'annÈe !!!! Mais je n'arrive pas ‡ savoir si il reste des places... Quelqu'un pourrait-t-il m'aider ???? Nat

Absolutly perfect! It's the second JC gig that I attend and both were fantastic! The first one was in Brazil (S„o Paulo) and the second one was in Paris (Zenith). I have to admitt that I fell in love with Jamie after these two gigs, cause he is too carismatic and performatic. Now I beg for him too came back to Brazil, so I can enjoy again he and his music.

The second time I saw Jamie Cullum and his band on live, and it's better than the first time!! It was a great show,and even if he sometimes looked a little bit tired (but it's more than understandable, isn't it??), he maked us sing, dance and smile during more than two hours!! The songs were as beautiful as they always are, and "Teardrops" was really amazing!!! And I was so happy you played "I get a kick out of you" this way, it's was wonderful!! The first part with Nizlopi was wonderful too, so thank you Jamie to support them, they really derserve it!! :oD And, as I already read it, Jamie is so nice!! I think you've made a lot of progress in French, and I'm sure you'll soon speak it fluently ;o) I hope you enjoyed my present (the scarf^^) and that you'll come back next year, as you promised it!!
