Shelby sang to me - 25/08 Aftershow

Well it's kind of strange when you are on the audience and Shelby ask to slowdown, the music goes into down tempo, she goes to the proscenium and says... "Now i need a man to sing to", you rise your hand, she looks at you and says... "You"... And "you" means.... ME!!!!

I step up the stair to the stage. She takes my hand and sits me down in a chair Maceo put seconds before. Music starts... Love is a Losing Game... straight to me. looking at my eyes... What a feeling, her voice next to me. She takes my hand, i don't know what to do but looking at her, listen to her singing to me. She takes me to the right side of stage and turn me around... she makes me wanna dance... i do.. i dance... Mike comes, blow his saxophone, we're dancing together, the three of us... Shelby, Mike, and.... ME!!! Shelby sits me down again, then she sits no my lap. She ends the song lookin right to my eyes, she hugs me, and Mike blows the wedding march. Well....unforgettable i think... I was sung by Shelby, danced with her and Mike... at the same floor hours befor Prince gave us an Aftershow to never forget....


The next morning in 3121.com i read...

The highlight of the night: Shelby surprised us all during Love is a Losing Game… a gent was picked from the crowd 2 sit onstage in a chair. Shelby sang the entire song 2 him, danced with him and spun him around, finishing the song on his lap! He seemed 2 love every minute of it 2. Whew!!

Hey man, they're talking 'bout me? YES. 2 Funky 2 b true!!!

If anybody has a photo... i would apreciate... sooooo much!!

Yeah, I saw you, man! Really cool - you looked VERY happy! Sorry, no camera but something to treasure in your mind's eye forever. Shelby rocks!

You were brilliant

That moment made it one of the best aftershows yet
You walked past me on your way out, wish I'd said hi in person
An amazing night I'll never forget... kept me on a high for 24hrs

Love is a losing game indeed, the trick is to keep playing till your cards come up

Yes, we were many there - and I saw you had a great time! I kind of know the feeling after beeing picked to dance on the stage with Prince and the band i Stockholm in 2002. And ooohhh how much I would like to have a photo of that! Or even better, a video! But it probably was a moment for my memory only.. But maybe you have more luck now concidering the amount of mobile phones with cameras at the show?
