Stars Come out for Capital FM's Summertime Ball

Over 75,000 people flocked to Wembley stadium for Capital FM's Summertime Ball  and despite their being no sunshine in the sky, thousands braved the cloudy, drizzly weather to see the likes of J-Lo, JLS, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessie J and Ne-Yo to name a few.

Kick-starting the show was JLS who performed all their hits including an exclusive of their new song “she makes me wanna”.

Brit award winner Cee-Lo Green lived up to his phenomenal reputation seconded by Katy B.

American star Mann got the crowd rocking followed by a very energetic Mike Posner who had everybody on their feet jumping around during his short but sweet set.

Far East Movement ft Dev were one of the main highlight of the show not forgetting the gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger who graced the stage looking amazing. She performed “Don't cha” from her Pussycat Doll days and her new single “right there”.

Next was Unorthodox, Example who gave a first-class performance. He was also joined on stage by Wretch 32 for their single “Unorthodox”, which disappointingly was the only song wretch 32 sung.

However, Enrique Iglesias heated up the crowd especially after inviting a girl onto the stage and serenaded her.  Enjoying the moment, the Spanish heart-throb had the young lady in question grope his butt and he gave her a huge smacker, once he established that she was 18 years-old and he was safe from the law.

Another unforgettable moment was dance troupe Flawless matched by good old Jenny from the block who performed an incredible set with all her best hits and her newest singles.

LMFAO and The Wanted were fab and so was poor Jessie J who had to do her set from a throne, because she ruptured the tendons in her leg after a bad fall in some killer heels. Singing a great performance she was joined by Devlin for “Price Tag”.

Last but not least, Ne-Yo closed the show singing all his best songs ending the show on a brilliant high!
