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

If you have a telly then you will know Celeste - it was her singing on that 'let's go Smudge' Peloton advert that was on every 5 seconds during lockdown!

I was cringing slightly when they wheeled Diana Ross out and then her song choice of Chain Reaction, knowing what it’s about, double cringe!

Surely we have plenty of British artists who could have performed so much better for the show finale! I get that Charles is a fan and Diana Ross is an icon but still…..

I thought the start to Celeste’s version of Wonderful World was a bit shaky but once it got going I did enjoy it and thought she had a great voice!

Rod was bloody awful, that husky voice now sounds like he’s out of breath and it doesn’t pack a punch, I felt like he needed more oxygen when he was singing Sweet Caroline, get him off! Never been a fan though!

I LOVED the song from Hamilton, never seen the show, thought it was great, Duran Duran were great, Alicia Keys, amazing Sam Ryder and Queen, who should have ended the show! Diversity were amazing, the guy who performed the sports poem, brill!

The light show was amazing, loved it! The drones over the palace, wow!

Glad I watched it all! Particularly moving for me was the scene with The Queen sitting with Paddington and then tapping out the start of We will rock you! Loved this!

Have no idea who she is but she was bloody awful, looked totally spaced out.

Wonder if Florence and the machine were asked?

Some of those acts must have bloody good agents. I mean Nicola Roberts? Really?
I would have definitely replaced Rod Stewart with Tom Jones as well.
Diversity were amazing as always.

Sweet Caroline is the Queens favourite?

or Baby Jane ?

Absolutely dreadful. She looked thoroughly bored and she destroyed what was a wonderfully uplifting song. How was a 96 year old supposed to ‘get’ her style.

she wasn’t the worse though. Rod Stewart should have been put out of his misery or at least arrested for the murder of sweet Caroline!

why on earth were these people chosen when there is so much more talent out there.

I actually thought Mimi Webb was quite good. My niece is 12 and really likes her.

we can’t just wheel out Ed sheeran and Tom Jones every time!

I'm glad it wasn't just me. I thought it was maybe the arrangement as she clearly has a good voice. But it did sound all wrong.

There were definitely several names who were only there to try and get the kids watching. You could see people in the audience thinking “who the fuck is Mimi Webb?!”

I thought it was just me.
Glad others thought the same.

I'm hearing impaired and I thought she was hearing impaired too as she sounded so flat. Louis Armstrong did it so much better.

I am particularly old, pre HM as Queen (!), I found myself watching names I'd only heard on Pointless!

They are amazing, but that wasn't the original 6 queens last night.

😂😂 at the smartarse comment - very funny - thanks for that

I didn't watch it but flicked the tv over just as someone was singing wonderful world. Switched it over immediately. It was awful, what was that all about?

Woman doesn't smile, society is enraged 🙄

You can see Celeste is extremely nervous during that performance and I would be too. The arrangement and lighting was very good. I didn’t think she was out of tune but sounded slightly flat probably due to nerves.

I really liked Celeste’s performance. I get that people may have expected something different and would have liked a rousing singalong, but I enjoyed the different arrangement, and thought it went well with the light show.

why the hell they didn't have a British act/rousing British song absolutely baffles me

Totally that!!!

I thought the rest of the show was fantastic - very impressed with the lightshow etc. Really spectacular!

Duran Duran were surprisingly right on it - likewise Nile Rodgers. I missed Celeste, so can't comment. But agree that Rod Stewart has gone off the boil.

Maybe should have had Tom Jones - he's an old rocker who can still belt it out!

Apologies. Was Sam Fender!

Queen was awesome, such a good opener. Sam Ryder was great. He’s such a charismatic performer. For a while, he ran the little organic cafe in our village, and sometimes used to busk at the rec. I remember sitting listening to him with my babies in a buggy and he always made me feel better. He really is that smiley in real life!

This is usually the type of thing I don't bother to watch but I did watch this and I have to say, I quite enjoyed pretty much all of it.

I thought Diversity (never seen them before) were great, Alicia Keys always liked her voice, enjoyed Duran Duran and although not a fan of Elbow, they were also very good.

I muted George Ezra once he said Shotgun was next, Rod wasn't that brilliant and I don't actually like the song Sweet Caroline, the three women singers were too shouty for me but I didn't actually mind Celeste's version of Wonderful World once she got underway.

Absolutely loved the lighting effects especially the horse, fantastic, big well done to all the crew for that, brilliant show.

I had not heard of Celeste before (but I am ancient!) and I said to my husband she has an amazing voice for someone who is part of the deaf community

This happened to me as well. I was shocked.

You don't know Six?! That was a highlight for me. It was great to see the original Queens. It's an incredible musical.
