Matt Goss is Moving to Caesars (Also, We Lurve Him)
Talk about a Vegas transformation
UPDATE: thegossyroom just tweeted that there's going to be a "big announcement" at Caesars on Thursday. We. Can't. Wait.
The reason we went to see Matt Goss at The Palms on Friday? Retro amusement. See, back when we were growing up in 1980s England, Matt was one half of Bros, the pre-Take That Take That of their time. And although we were never Bros fans (Jason Donovan was the only blond we had eyes for in 1988), we thought it would be funny to see what Matt was trying his hand at now. Plus the $25 tickets seemed like a worthy investment for a classic Facebook status update.
Anyway, this morning we’d like to formally apologize to Matt Goss. We’re sorry we laughed at the “crazy Americans” forming a queue 40 minutes before the show started. We’re sorry we sniggered as we went in to find the lounge had been christened the Gossy Room. And we’re really sorry we spat our drink out mid-guffaw when our neighbours told us they’d heard Matt was a “huge star” back home. (With the best will in the world, he's really not.)
We take all of it back, because Matt Goss was amazing. Incredible. The best show we’ve seen so far on the Strip (and we, as we were informed yesterday, tend towards the highly critical).
Gone is the ridic falsetto and even more ridic bleached hair of the Bros era. Matt Goss has developed natural tones to his hair, a rip-roaring voice and wham-bam charisma. His band is awesome and his female sidekicks are sex on very long legs. We were floored.
The bad news is that we only just caught him – his Palms stint finished on Saturday. The good news, though, is that a member of Palms staff confirmed to us that the rumors are true - he’s moving onwards and upwards to Caesars, and the move is “imminent”. Our neighbors heard the same from another Palms person so it must be true.
We asked the Gosster’s team to let us know the finer details but haven’t heard back as yet, but we’ll drop in an update as soon as they make the official announcement (and after we’ve booked our front row tickets for opening night). Until then, we’ll be working out the psychological ramifications of fancying someone we should have fancied 20 years ago. Is that Freudian, backward, or just sensible, seeing as he looked like this back then?
