What on earth were they thinking pairing up Jessie J with Brian May?
Well one of the jokes doing the rounds is "what is the difference between Jessie J and the IRA?" - Jessie J did in 3 minutes what the IRA have been trying to do for 40 years, murdered queen.
Liam Gallagher was dire tbh, sang the whole song through his nose.
Exactly what I said while I was watching it. Singing badly through his nose. He managed to decimate what is a superb song.
I was also disappointed that one act used the event to promote a new song, Geoerge Michael, using the show to self promote, not what it was about.
Although supposedly he only showed up because he heard there would be 5 giant rings on display.
Muse, what a dirge.
Thought the Kaiser Chiefs weren't bad and it wasn't a bad cover version of Pinball Wizard to be honest, but then I've seen them live and they are pretty good.
The Who, as ever, totally professional and totally rocked the place.
I was also appalled at the amount of acts lip synching. Absolute disgrace. Did they really think people wouldn't notice, or wouldn't care. A symptom of some of the acts they chose.
One final point, was it just me or was the sound quality of the concert on TV as poor for everyone? I hope it wasn't that bad in the stadium, the balance between music and vocals was dreadful but both seemed really low in terms of volume. Maybe it was just the BBC production.
