I don't know if a winner has been announced for the competition to win tickets yet either. Fingers crossed!

Tee hee...I tried to enter but I didnt realize the competition wasn't for the whole world

I was actually wondering if the competition was just for people living in Sydney/N.S.W. since there were no flights and accommodation included in the prize. But I didn't see anything that said otherwise so still entered! I wonder if there is a winner yet?

Did they announce?

Does anyone know if it will be possible to watch this show live in the UK? If so, where and how can I watch it? I'd love to see it and I know that it's being broadcast on pay tv in Australia but I have no idea if it will be possible to watch it here in England. If anyone can help I would be very grateful, thanks!

I haven't been able to find an announcement of the winner on the website.

Not long to go now! I am a little sad that I can't be there.

[CosmicLea]

I sent an e-mail to the Sunrise website asking who the winner of the competition was, but no reply (no surprises there).

Jamiroquai are in Sydney (woo-hoo!), they had their soundcheck today.
Looks like Jay is enjoying his birthday:

well, I hope they all get Jay's New Years' resolution (wish?)
What kind of resolution is that? Well, I suppose anybody's real thoughts!

I don't think it is Jay's wish....he could have it everynight and twice.....I think Jay means he is going to make a concerted effort and set aside more time for it lucky aussie girls!

[jamiroquai01fan]

Does anybody know if it's possible to watch a rerun of this concert anywhere online?

[CosmicLea]

@jamiroquai01fan - sorry, I don't know - I'd love to watch it myself. I don't have pay tv, so couldn't even order the concert to watch at home.

Oh my God, the countdown... If only I could have been there! Anyway I LOVE the videos!!! Thank you CosmicLea!!!

[StormeyG]

and again...NICE!!!

[CosmicLea]

I love the NY's Countdown video too!

[curse_t_70]

Did you guys hear Jay say......."I was 42 yesterday.......and I sure feel 42." Thanks for finding these CosmicLea,..I sneaked a peak of these @ work today. And poor Jay had nobody to kiss after the countdown.......

[CosmicLea]

Yes, I heard him say that too, curse_t! I'm sure there were plenty of girls in the audience who wanted to kiss Jay at midnight!

[curse_t_70]

Did he actually say that?...I was just noticing.....

[Giba7]

No kiss?
Watching some of the concert. Gotta love the green coat and purple(?) feathers!
just the colors we were talking about a while back!
And always love the backup singers and the brass!

And the best was "Love Foolosophy" at the end, but coulda done without the cricket/whistler!

I agree that tweety bird shoulda been taken out by Sylvester......

[CosmicLea]

Yes, that whistler was very annoying!

This is great, a lot of the songs from the concert are appearing!

[Giba7]

I edited!
Great performance on "You Give Me Something"!
It's one of my favorite Jamiroquai songs!

[CosmicLea]

I edited too! Though you didn't really need to, hun!

I love seeing "You Give Me Something" played live and the brass sounded great!

[jamiroquai01fan]

LOL! I just found this on youtube. I think Jay Kay may have been a little bit drunk at Sydney festival. But this shows once and for all that he's just a normal guy, he's not afraid of being seen in public either. No body guards here haha. What an absolute legend!

[CosmicLea]

No body guards here haha.

I noticed a guy in a white t-shirt and baseball cap on backwards, who seems to be hanging out with Jay (but it looks to me like he is looking after him) in most of these videos and photos (there are more vids and photos in the Jay Kay photos topic.) Maybe this guy was hired as a bodyguard for Jay in Australia
