I wonder if that's from people being scared of bombs?

Wayne Sleep - "This is a wonderful celebration of the tenth anniversary of Princess Diana's... um... birthday." Whoops. :hihi:

its hard to put into words the crapness of it all (the bands i mean) i really hope it gets better

The Swan Lake Ballet was the best thing on. Terrific. Im not a ballet fan but it was marvellous.:)

The Feeling are really good - I've seen them live a few times.

Yeah I don't like all the acts but it's general appeal to all stuff. And the Quo - respect!

i'm particularly loving the shots of the lesser royals (At least, i'm presuming they're 'lesser royals') dancing ... v amusing!

rodger hodgson (supertramp) been the best up to now and thats pushing it lets hope it gets better

you know its not going well when the mexican waves start

Tom Jones covering the Arctic Monkey's 'I bet you look good on the dancefloor' with Joe Perry on lead guitar....now i've seen everything!

Fergie . . . . what happened to the sound???... The atmosphere seems crap, theres nothing happening apart from a few old biddies in the front clapping and if they show one more shot of that silly little girl with the braces on in the front row I'll chuck summat at the telly!

Pharrell was abit poo too, thought he might be ok :( as for the best bit, it's got to be watching Prince William trying to dance! LOL:P:hihi:

bryan ferry is getting them moving a bit

Bryan Ferry best bit so far

bryan ferry is getting them moving a bit
... into a coma

The princes consistently clapping to the backbeat (instead of on the beat) was worth watching.
Rhythm Is definitely not A Dancer.

Has David Beckham gone silver already, or is the latest LA trend? :huh:

To be fair, i think its out of sync and they are clapping in time. Theres no excuse for the dancing though!

Bryan ferry excellent lloyd webber good too I loving it, you miserable so and so's lol presenters are shocking though

To be fair it makes me want to crash my car into a wall at very high speed.

I know! Patsy Kensit! I thought she was going to start bellowing out "I don't care!"

I think you haters are all mardy bums. My nan will be loving this AND she'll know an Arctic Monkeys song, now Tom's covered it. She'll be singing it next time I go up in a falsetto voice!

Oh my god, just turned this crap on and P Diddy is performing...err, it's almost as bad as the Michael Jackson god moment!

Embarrassing or what ? :gag::gag:

I am still in shock!

The editing between stuff is just horrific but Rods been on so I'm happy. ;)

To be fair it makes me want to crash my car into a wall at very high speed.

Then they could hold a 'concert of doom' for you in 10 years time. :hihi::hihi:

Beckham is on now giving a speech. Dont let him say " F" instead of "the" .Like I fink I like it.

im getting worried about the 2017 diana concert already lol

and i bet staus quo will be on the bill as well

and i bet staus quo will be on the bill as well

And, Rod, Tom Jones and Brian Ferry - zimmers anyone. :D

Did Take that forget their gillettes? Did Howard write Gillet on the rider? :suspect:

Bless Mark Owen - he really wanted to be Brett Anderson didn't he? :hihi:

My next question was, has David Beckham been taking speech lessons? He actually sounded quite normal. (Normally his voice ofsets any fanciability factor)

I take back my previous praise as i getting bored now the gaps between are too long

I think they're trying to prove that now they're older they're harder.

Sadly its not working.

Agree, here Edna. I was waiting for the "F" but didnt hear it.

Lets see if EJ can save the day

Is it just me, or does the camera seem to linger strangely briefly on the faces of the (somewhat old) artistes?

Compare and contrast this with the footage from Glastonbury. Talk about stiff and wooden. not to say amateurish (Ricky Gervais is on at the mo)....

Oh my god, just turned this crap on and P Diddy is performing...err, it's almost as bad as the Michael Jackson god moment!

It's car crash telly of the highest level. :hihi: :hihi:

omg its rapidly going down hill

Ricky your career is now over

God yes.!!!

Seems like Elton's blown a fuse .. he did say he'd try anything once

Seems like Elton's blown a fuse .. he did say he'd try anything once

Thought it was Jabberwocky. Hes Eltons double you know !! :D

God yes.!!!


I can only hope.

I wish people would just let Di go... RIP!
How many times do we have to hear her name again and again...


Remembering someone is one thing.... milking it for every penny is another!
I know Di did alot of good work for many different people... but let her R.I.P!

That my view and i Dont mean to offend anyone.:|

What a disappointing climax.

What a disappointing climax.

Yes very. Big let down. :(

shockingvery poor even elton was average

What a disappointing climax.

Yep. Elton is way past his sell-by date, and the video was shown slightly too late - the audience was already walking out.

The video was obviously meant to be a tear-jerking finale, but it was a little insubstantial, so squibbed out. It should have been much longer with a voice-over.

Thought Elton was doing really well there. Loved Tiny Dancer. They could have showed that video earlier and let Elt do a couple more. (Not Candle In The Wind though)

Well I have just watched the whole thing, one word to describe it, fantastic. Not only the music but also the film clips showing all the different aspects of her life. She truly was a very remarkable woman, sadly missed.

Three pages of comments further down the page.

Glad someone liked it. Out of interest what did you think of P Diddy?

There's already a thread in Entertainment Chat. The only thing I wish I'd missed was this awful concert.

Mod note: Threads merged.

Well I loved it all but was a bit dissapointed that Will Young only did one song. Did anyone else hear Tom Jones call Joss Stone "Josh" Stone?

I only caught My Diddy and his barf inducing perfomance, were they all that sickening??

It wasnt that, it was his wording of songs. Terrible.

thank goodness I could hardly hear him - I'm due to have my ears syringed on Wednesday, you know what they say "too much ***"



they also say chance is a fine thing lol

No, his was the most sickening. :gag:

Take That were pretty cringe worthy too, although they always have been, so no change there then!:hihi:

Thankfully avoided most of it, nauseating platitudes of the highest order.

Mark Owen walked on stage and said:

'Happy Birthday Diana' FFS get me a bucket. :gag::gag:

Why the nation had to endure that is beyond me. Make money off the tickets and let the Diana weirdos buy it on a DVD box set for £50 if they want to raise money for charity.

Nothing wrong with the charity aspect, but don't put it on telly.

Metallica are playing Wembley next Sunday. They should have put that on instead. I only saw P Diddy as I switched the tv on to watch a dvd.

Must have seen 20 seconds of him and I'm still cleaning the spew up now.

I missed the whole thing - Yay !

I must have been watching the wrong concert because, according to the BBC it was a complete flawless success.

It's only on here and DigitalSpy where it has been slated.

Bryan Ferry was the best by far, especially the second song he sang. Does anyone know the title?

Flawless lol

The number of times they lost sound between acts was laughable, the presenters getting the acts in the worng order, Fergie's set was lacking sound etc. :roll:

I must have been watching the same one as you because, flawless it was not. ;)

Fergie's set was lacking sound etc. :roll:


A vast improvement surely ?

A vast improvement surely ?

Indeed. lol

Fergie :confused: I never heard of her before this weekend, she looks a right mess...P Diddy, what on earth did they choose him for ? and Elton John ? I thought those boys would have better taste than that lot.

Bryan Ferry was the best by far, especially the second song he sang. Does anyone know the title?

Yep, it's "to make you feel my love" written by Bob Dylan

it gets better andrew (pie face) liloyd webbers songs of the musicals is next

That Sarah Brightman never looks any older year after year... And no, I wouldn't before anyone even goes there.

I'm just saying she looks well for her age.

And Lee Mead sang well live on the Joseph bit.

Looking forward to seeing him in the full show at the Adelphi in September.

What a bunch of moaners you all are on here, nobody forced you to watch it, I for 1 can honestly say I enjoyed the whole thing, ok so there were a few technical problems but surely thats to be expected from such a big concert, I think everyone did a brilliant job and William and Harry should be very proud of their effforts.

ytyt5y5y54t

I wonder if that's from people being scared of bombs?

:

No, they were worried that Duran Duran might come on.

The whole show was DIRE to say the least. Britains top venue hosting a complete load of b****x like this. Third rate rubbish, an insult to Dianas memory.
Should have dedicated last weeks Glastonbury Festival to her.
Now that WAS a good show......

Beckham is on now giving a speech. .

well he is one of our greatest oritors.

I missed the whole thing - Yay !

What, even Will Young?

No, they were worried that Duran Duran might come on.

I bet they never dreamed they'd play a stadium again.

Fergie :confused: I never heard of her before this weekend,

I wonder how many people thought it might be a surprise guest spot by the other one? :hihi:

What, even Will Young?

yes, "the whole thing" means I missed everyone.

(sorry if thats a bit hard to follow)

Some performances were ok but the gaps in between the performers were WAY too long. And Ricky Gervais!!!! I almost cried for him. The only thing that could have been more embarrassing is if he had wet himself right there infront of the whole world. Please no-one ever let him do anything like that EVER again.

It was a bit lacklustre...... IMO.

Better to do a concert for Diana than let the press mark her death with more lies and revelations.

i watched it all it was fantastic.

all the moaners must watch big brother thats great not:loopy::hihi::hihi:

Brian May did'nt want to play...

http://www.playlouder.com/news/+sheer-hearts-att/

will this be released on dvd?

will this be released on dvd?



Yes it will... Eventually, I predict a release around mid-August to tie in with the actual anniversary of her death.

Brian May did'nt want to play...

I suspect that with "the way they arranged it" he meant not the show, but Joss Stone's version of "Under Pressure" - which was very different indeed from the original. Fair's fair ...

And Ricky Gervais!!!! I almost cried for him. The only thing that could have been more embarrassing is if he had wet himself right there infront of the whole world.


Perhaps he did, but by that point all the viewers had their hands over their faces so didn't notice.

all the moaners must watch big brother thats great not:loopy::hihi::hihi:

What peculiar logic you have.

all the moaners must watch big brother thats great not:loopy::hihi::hihi:

well i dont like big brother so thats your theory swimming down the crazy river

I was balling my eyes out for Candle in the wind. It may have been the gin though.

Yes me too.

After rather a heavy lunch I could have done with spewing it up to get rid of the raging indigestion.

:D

long. And Ricky Gervais!!!! I almost cried for him. The only thing that could have been more embarrassing is if he had wet himself right there infront of the whole world. Please no-one ever let him do anything like that EVER again.

He's an embarrassment anyway, and I've always cringed for him in everything he's ever done but what did he do this time, that was worse?

I was only able to watch until Tom Jones and then I had to go out.

Oh dear due to his age Rod's vocal range has been drastically reduced oh for those halcyon days of Maggy May 1973. Due to being from the sixties era I regarded Take That as all boy bands that pinched other peoples material and didn't play instruments,but hey Gary Barlow and company can actually sing good live,I am a convert.
As for Ricky,unfortunately he was introduced as the world's greatest comedian,unfortunately he was introducing the prima donna of pop music,unfortunately he could not hide behind a tirade of four letter words that these new wave comedians hide behind.Surely Ricky you should have prepared for the possibility of Elton throwing a tantrum ,you were rooted to the spot like a rabbit in a cars headlights.Part of a comedians repertoire should be something called adlib

I thought Andrea Bochelli was amazing, and Sarah brightman duet

I thought Andrea Bochelli was amazing, and Sarah brightman duet

Yes, so did I. And The Swan Lake ballet.

Ballet was very good (& I'm no ballet fan), the Lloyd Webber stuff was very good, Rod Stewart was good, take that also, I was a bit disppointed with Elton John, I expected more, and the film of Diana at the end was pointless. Faced with watching a 10 minute film or dashing off for the next tube, everyone looked like they'd chosen to dash.
(And as for Kanye West - there should have been a sniper on the roof)

Let's face it this concert was more to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana's passing. If the princes really wanted to hold a big concert for her postumous birthday then her 4Oth or even 45th birthday would be more appropriate. If there is such a bit concert for her 46th birthday then her 50th should be twice as big!:huh:

In the passage of time and history this concert will most likely be inaccurately quoted as the concert to mark the 1O anniversary of her death or her 45th birthday, somehow I think the number 46 won't be remembered, except for wikipedia of course!

He's an embarrassment anyway, and I've always cringed for him in everything he's ever done but what did he do this time, that was worse?

2 points

i have always thought that other than the office Ricky Gervais is not actually funny.

But to be fair to hm he did have to "ad-lib" in front of all those people which cant of been easy and he did fail which really goes back to my first point he needs a good script witer to be funny

which really goes back to my first point he needs a good script witer to be funny

Like Stephen Merchant? ;)

No offence to the family or anything but personally I am rather bored of Diana by now and think all the so called 'grief' at the time (not her family but the general public who never knew her) was rather artificial and shallow anyway. All that 'people's princess' stuff was never more than a catchy soundbite.

I'm totally with you, Rainbow. Some people are never happy unless they're moaning or complaining about something.

Over the last two days I've watched the whole thing. I thought the show was very well put together. A little too 'polished' at times and slightly plastic in places, but in all honesty we've never really seen the likes of this before so I guess we ought to cut it some slack.

Yes, there were sound difficulties and a few minor technical gripes, but overall I thought the boys did incredibly well to organise what they did. The event was a real credit to them.

To the poster who complained that Wembley wasn't full - 63,000 tickets isn't bad going at all - when's your gig then?

Amongst my favourite performances were Joss Stone, Nelly Furtado, P-Diddy and Brian Ferry. The ballet really was fantastic, but what I liked the most was the footage in between sets entitled 'Diana and me' All this did was to show, yet again, what a truly amazing individual she was and what a fantastic impact she had on many, many people.

I can't think of anybody alive currently that will receive that type of event in the future to mark their lives or the work that they've done.
