It's the moment she had been waiting months for.
And
on Saturday night Tulisa Contostavlos finally made her return to the
stage as she performed for a heaving crowd at London's G-A-Y at Heaven.
The singer has had a difficult year, so was glad to put it all behind her and mark her musical comeback in spectacular style.

She's back! Tulisa marked her first gig in a year and a half at London's G-A-Y at Heaven nightclub on Saturday
The
26-year-old certainly made a statement as she arrived on stage in a
jewelled bra and tiny shorts, that showed off her shapely legs and toned
torso.
Both her garments featured heavy embellishment, complementing her equally glitzy pointed ankle boots in a pewter shade.
The shorts - that were cut in a knicker style - made her slender pins, covered in fishnet tights, look even longer.
During
her energetic set, Tulisa turned around to her crowd to reveal the back
of the bra top, which had a leopard print panel, a print she is
favouring at the moment.

Energetic: The former N-Dubz star made sure her comeback was quite the show, and got involved in the active dance routine
The
stunning star, whose new single Living Without You is released in early
December, finished her on-stage look with her raven tresses tumbling
down over her shoulders in a glamorous, curly style.
The former N-Dubz star was flanked by handsome male dancers in open white shirts as she worked her way across the stage.
Bravely, the musician even let them lift her up high as part of her high-octane dance routine.
The excited former X Factor star had happily tweeted her fans before the gig, sharing her anticipation ahead of her set.
Ole! At one point, a large red sheet
appeared on stage, giving Tulisa a bullfighter effect as she got
hands-on with one of her male backing dancers
'My first show in 18 months!' Tulisa had tweeted before the gig, sharing her excitement at her welcome return to the stage
Crowd pleaser: Tulisa got the lively audience on their feet for the duration of her performance
Good time: She couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she was welcomed back with open arms by her fans
'My first show in 18months #TONIGHT! I'm so excited! G-A-Y You ready?!! #TulisaAtGAY,' she wrote on Twitter.
Tulisa
has made no secret of her personal struggles in recent times. She's had
a tumultuous few years after her sex tape was leaked online as well as
being accused of brokering a cocaine deal, claims which sensationally
collapsed in court this summer.
And
her life changed rather a lot when she ended her career on the ITV
talent show, after having it initially propel her to super-stardom,
making her a household name.
Hydration time! The singer made sure to keep drinking throughout her performance
There's only one...: Tulisa made sure the crowd knew she was back for good, with her name emblazoned across the stage
Lucky girl: The Living Without You singer looked chuffed to be surrounded by such handsome dancers
Abs-olutely fabulous: The slender star had no qualms showing off her slimline waist
But despite her difficult time, Tulisa is thankful her time out of the limelight.
'I
finally feel like I know what I want, what I like, what I want to
portray, what I'm about,' she explained on a behind-the-scenes video
from the making of Living Without You.
She also spoke openly about her new image, and how she's embarking on a new phase of her life.
'It
was all about portraying that to my fans, showing them who the grown-up
me is. Everyone changes and I guess the biggest fear is people seeing
me in this light in a video like this and saying, "Oh my God she's
changed so much, she's nothing like the old Tulisa".'
Wild thing: Parts of Tulisa's attire included a leopard print, something she has been favouring of late
Working the stage: She looked as though she hadn't had 18 months off
A difficult year: Tulisa has openly
discussed her difficult personal life over the past year, and couldn't
have been more thrilled to be back doing what she loves
Hands in the air! The Young hitmaker made sure to get everyone involved
She
went on: 'But everyone changes and grows. I'm 26 now. When I first
stepped into the spotlight, the first commercial public video
recognition for me was when I was 17.'
Indeed,
the pop star looked overwhelmed at the reception she got following her
performance, as she was given a huge bouquet of flowers.
Also
performing at the Charing Cross venue on Saturday were X Factor rejects
Stevi Ritchie and Only The Young, both of whom were voted out of the
competition last weekend.

He's still here! X Factor contestant Stevi Ritchie warmed the crowd up for Tulisa at G-A-Y
New BFFs? Stevi shared a picture on Twitter of himself backstage at G-A-Y with the 'awesome' Tulisa
Divisive
contestant Stevi lapped up the attention on the night, and proudly
posted a picture of himself with his G-A-Y co-star Tulisa after the gig.
'Me and the very gorgeous @officialtulisa at G-A-Y london,' he wrote along with the snap.
He
added: 'Tulisa @officialtulisa you are awesome sooooo nice meeting you
and thank you for lovely chat thank you follow me when you can much
love.'
Stevi,
who was Simon Cowell's act, left The X Factor on last Sunday night's
results show, after failing to win the sing-off against Andrea Faustini.
The King? Stevi arrived on stage on a red and gold throne
Welcome to the gun show: The divisive singer made sure his muscular arms were on full display as he performed in a tight t-shirt
But
he's still enjoying his heightened levels of fame, and made sure
everybody at the London nightclub knew it as he started his short set
sat upon a gold and red throne.
Louis
Walsh's band Only The Young, who left on the Saturday night after
receiving the fewest votes from the public, also performed at G-A-Y,
looking decidedly more casual than Tulisa.
Plenty
of their fans had turned up to see them perform: the band retweeted
several messages from their supporters who had made it on the night.
