She’s absolutely awful!

Her voice is harsh and rough, she’s out of tune and out of rhythm. Dreadful.

She’s improved as it’s gone on.

Sure, her voice isn’t ‘wow’ but the crowd look to be having fun and it’s a solid set list

You do better Grin

MartyFunkhouser · 30/06/2024 16:59

She’s reminiscent of a drunk old bird singing karaoke in my local. Actually feel sorry for her.

😂 yes, this.

Now it's the transgender national anthem!!!😂

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 30/06/2024 16:59

She's like Sofia Vergara. Just realised who she has now morphed into

True but therein lies the rub - have the crowd paid $$$ to see lipsync+ backing track or to hear the real thing, warts and all.

They've paid money to sit in a field and smoke weed

Will watch on catch up, have just been watching Dexys and have to say Kevin Rowland who is now 70 is still in pretty good voice and shape, real stage presence too. It was a pleasant way to while away a bit of time and enjoy some memories, it can be a bit of a blow if they are not up to scratch or are sounding scratchy!

I watched the Celine Dion film the other day.

She said when her voice started to go she would tap the mic and shake her head, gesture to the sound guys. Just to cover for the fact that her voice was going.

To use the vernacular of the young people, she absolutely killed From This Moment, it was perfect

I loved Shania and her country stuff , I have all her CDs

Her voice has warmed up a bit now. I'm not a huge fan but I'm still enjoying it and she looks like she is too. I'd like to see any of you lot strutting up and down and holding a tune at the age of 58! Miserable buggers. I think she's fab.

Concerts make all singers sound worse than they really are, partly why I don't bother with them. But as mentioned above, she has had lyme disease which has affected her voice.

That's not true if they can actually sing. I saw Jalen Ngonda in concert a few weeks ago, and he actually sounded BETTER live as his voice is so soulful, like a cross between Marvin Gaye and Prince. He was playing Glastonbury at 12.30 but the BBC didn't show it unfortunately. Outstanding!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 30/06/2024 16:57

Right come on Shania!

GellerYeller · 30/06/2024 16:57

@JaneJeffer @FailBetter YES! So good.

Not that sorry if you make such a scornful, contemptuous comment on a public site.

Right let’s see how she does with ‘man I feel like a woman’

Vote to have Rick Astley back doing Morrissey <3 <3 <3

Edited

💯

Also all the weird spinning and hair clutching - she looks like a woman on the edge.

WhiteWriting · 30/06/2024 16:55

I guess because Still the One was her massive hit over here so can't afford to F that one up?

WhiteWriting · 30/06/2024 16:53

Surely that ballad was mimed? A complete voice uplift from before.

100%

RaraRachael · 30/06/2024 16:55

I didn't even recognise her.

I think too many excuses are made for people these days.

I wouldn't find it acceptable to pay a lot of money to find somebody's was lip synching

I agree - and now it's back to the slightly out of tune performance. How odd! Why would she only mime one song?
