I am a Republican - but will still be watching as a good line up. Just seen Queen and Adam Lambert being interviewed.

Diana Ross’s miming is terrible, but she looks amazing!

Zippidy123 · 04/06/2022 22:26

I think she's singing some of it.

NotMyDust · 04/06/2022 22:27

wow yet another American though...jus sayin

FusionChefGeoff · 04/06/2022 22:28

An American, not even singing live.

Odd choice for the finale

GrouchyKiwi · 04/06/2022 22:28

Her dress is too long; I'm so worried she's going to tumble down those stairs.

I'm not certain she is miming. The backing singers are very loud, and when the notes are low she doesn't have that range any more. But she's definitely singing at least some of it.

sandgrown · 04/06/2022 22:28

She has definitely had work done! Hope she is not miming I am seeing her next month . As an aside I saw Queen with Adam Lambert this week and ge was fantastic.

balletmuffin · 04/06/2022 22:28

She is definitely miming. She was singing along and then tried to speak to the audience and it was silent. If her mic was on she would have been heard.

if anyone likes drones to music, there was an act on americas got talent did a piece to Coldplay. Worth a watch.

flowerycurtain · 04/06/2022 22:29

Although I'm loving this I think we could have had a few more acts - Take That, Steps, Adele, Ed Sheerhan. Where are the young versions of all these singers?

BoJoSecretGF · 04/06/2022 22:29

Prince Charles’ fave. She sang at his engagement party. To Diana.

Diana Dross is miming

She IS NOT miming.

whattheydidtoFresnoBob · 04/06/2022 22:30

She is a knockout, dressed to the nines, navigating stairs whilst singing and getting the crowd waving, WOW!

She is. Really she is.

Crunchymum · 04/06/2022 22:30

Queen were excellent. Alicia Keyes was stellar.

Some decent performances here and there but overall disappointing.

Rod Stewart was awful. George Ezra was shocking. Duran Duran were terrible. Elton John???? I popped out for a wee so missed what was going on there.

Diana Ross always gets to me. My mum loved her (and hearing her makes me miss my mum but she was a bit shit too to be honest)

Maybe I'd have enjoyed it more if I was drinking wine 😆

bare · 04/06/2022 22:30

She's 78 Smile

She really was miming. It was pretty clear she was.

Zippidy123 · 04/06/2022 22:31

Iusyje she definitely was at the beginning.

cakeorwine · 04/06/2022 22:31

Just hoping Diana Ross's age comes up in a pub quiz sometime

daretodenim · 04/06/2022 22:32

Seems to be a mixture of singing with a recording. I don't get it! But she's definitely not singing when we hear her at times and she's also singing for real!

But at her age, bloody well done - the whole shebang!

coldandverytired · 04/06/2022 22:33

There have been a few moment to prove she is miming; she tried to shout out to the crowd and the mic was off, she’s been blowing kisses while still ‘singing’ and if you watch she cuts of a lot of the end of the phrases. I don’t blame her; it was far more enjoyable than Rod Stewart and Jason Donovan’s butcherings on offer!

Zippidy123 · 04/06/2022 22:33

balletmuffin how do they synchronise the drones like that? Is it all computers? I thought it was amazing.

pastapestoparmesan · 04/06/2022 22:34

Why no Gary Barlow I wonder?

Katya213 · 04/06/2022 22:34

You got to say fair play to her though for her age, that was an amazing performance.

whattheydidtoFresnoBob · 04/06/2022 22:36

I wish they kept rolling instead of rushing the end for the news like that.

It was fabulous. The best bit was Paddington Bear, though. Hats off to the Queen for doing that.

Iusyje she definitely was at the beginning.

If she was at the beginning, I missed it but I distinctly heard her singing after that.
