She’s absolutely awful!

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

I turned off when I saw her appropriating the Mari Lwyd…….

TwigletsAndRadishes · 30/06/2024 16:36

Cindy lauper should have had this slot tbh I know she's been criticised but she sounded a million times better than this

Bloody hell, well I didn't hear Shania but given what I've just said about CL then Shania must have been bad.

I remember axl rose was crucified was it last year? But then played another concert and sounded awesome

MaturingCheeseball · 30/06/2024 16:35

It’s giving Jemini vibes

I was just saying to DH this morning, people rarely sound any good performing at live festivals, unless you are there in person. Watching it on TV or hearing it on the radio is a poor substitute and it's quite often awful. They played some of Cindi Lauper's set on R2 this morning at it was absolutely terrible. I changed station.

It will be put down to "sound issues"

Wasn't that blamed with Debbie Harry too?

Aye right

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 30/06/2024 16:33

Hmm she did seem to forget the words there and wave it off lol

Justwingingit2005 · 30/06/2024 16:33

I don't think its her I think there are mic issues. She keeps messing about with her ear piece too.

Portfun24 · 30/06/2024 16:30

Yeah we are quite shocked at how bad she is.

Well somethings not right with her today. She’s murmuring some words as though she’s forgotten them. She honestly sounds drunk to me.

Karmakamelion · 30/06/2024 16:28

Saw here recently and she's amazing. Some of the stuff written on here is just awful

FailBetter · 30/06/2024 16:27

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

soupfiend · 30/06/2024 16:27

Well I would hope that most people would hope that they present well and put on a good enough performance, it being her job and all

Why is there such aggression with things like this, 'she wont give a fuck what you think'. Well she isnt there for any other reason than to put on a performance, so its it does rather matter what the audience think doesnt it?

I thought I remembered all this from Diana Ross too, couldnt sing for toffee in the end.

Only a shed load richer and won't give the smallest of shits what you think of her.

I’m sure she won’t, I bet it will put people off bothering to go and see her in future though. DD offered me tickets to see her in Hyde Park and I almost said yes. Glad I didn’t now!

I was waiting for somebody to post this. She's awful!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 30/06/2024 16:26

Yes but there's definitely something going on. She's fiddling with her ear piece and giving side stage a thumbs down..

FailBetter · 30/06/2024 16:26

Staplerandstappler · 30/06/2024 16:23

That doesn’t stop her rocking it.

Show quote history

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

dizzygirl1 · 30/06/2024 16:26

Not just her voice but she seems out of it or high. Her face doesn't move at all.

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

Hopefully the ‘drunk old bird’ will be having a fabulous time and won’t give a flying fuck what you think of her!

Staplerandstappler · 30/06/2024 16:19

She’s no Dolly Parton, that’s for sure. Dolly rocked this slot.

Sexond that - but then Dolly is a Goddess in my eyes!! Love her!
