To think Celeste ruined what should have been a brilliant moment?

Queens Jubilee Concert - What a Wonderful World.

I mean, that's supposed to be a happy soulful song. She shouted it and didn't smile once. Such a shame

I loved Rod Stewart singing the Queens favourite song

It was a fantastic cover, she has an amazing voice... If not smiling during belting out that sing is an issue then.. Pffft.. That song, accompanied by Hans Zimmer was awesome with the light show. It was moving and addressed the environmental issues HM and Prince Philip and Prince Charles have close to their hearts... I thought the tone was perfect, we have a wonderful world and it is in danger.

The Andrew Lloyd Webber was also fantastic...

Better than Rod half a song then someone else's song Stewart, and other pap..

The ‘Six’ song is an absolute banger but the performance was off tonight.

Celeste was unfathomable.

I enjoyed Diana but she needed to get Nile on to do I’m Coming Out or Upside Down.

She was atrocious. She was flat throughout and off key.

She was bloody awful.

The Six wives thing is from the popular musical Six The Musical about Henry VIII's wives. It's really good.

It was the worst performance of the night for me

Rod Stewart was worse, but he must be 50 years older than her. Overall the concert was good, brilliant performances from Queen, Alicia Keys and the Eurovision singer!

HintofVintagePink · 04/06/2022 22:42

Had no idea who she was. Or the 6 wives things. I’m not particularly old, but I just did not get it

baroqueandblue · 04/06/2022 22:42

Do you not think she was being (very understandably) ironic? Hmm

chipsandpeas · 04/06/2022 22:28

Horrendous

How to ruin a song

Satsumaonaplate · 04/06/2022 22:26

Yes ! We were sat here cringing at her. It also sounded flat?! Not impressed at all, she butchered an amazing song.
