I was expecting some pop extravaganza

Give it a chance, the night is young!

It’s very boring. I enjoyed the girl playing the piano, that’s about it. Could do with some Megadeath or Slayer to liven it up a bit.

I'm a bit behind everyone and am up to Nichole Sherzinger who I didn't realise had such an amazing set of pipes on her!

I found the Shakespeare absolutely beautiful. Stop being a misery 😁

I like the variation

You'll never walk alone was beautiful

Was looking forward to Lionel Ritchie but his voice is unrecognisable!

I just said this to my DH - all the smoothness has gone sadly.

Loved the Shakespeare & ballet and You'll Never Walk Alone was phenomenal.

Olly was good too and Nicole was amazing! I'm enjoying it overall!

IfICouldIStillWouldNot · 07/05/2023 21:16

I'm not what's going on with Lionel Ritchie.

Gothambutnotahamster · 07/05/2023 21:16

At least he's got them up dancing.

bellac11 · 07/05/2023 21:17

This is more like it. Absolute legend

I hate it when artists don't sing it exactly like the soundtrack. I want to sing along stop fucking about

I really enjoyed the girl on the piano and the community choirs.

Show quote history

I completely agree. I thought the Shakespeare was incredibly moving.

Davros · 07/05/2023 21:25

Somewhere - from an American musical
You'll Never Walk Alone - from an American musical
I think they could have chosen better

Daftnotstupid · 07/05/2023 21:27

You'll never walk alone - represents Liverpool
Somewhere from West Side Story a show based on Romeo and Juliet.

Chose perfectly as far as I'm concerned

Daftnotstupid · 07/05/2023 21:28

Lionel could have stayed at home though

woodhill · 07/05/2023 21:28

Nice tips see Stevie Winwood, he's a legend

QueueEtwo · 07/05/2023 21:29

I'm loving it so far! Stunning location for a concert!

Somewhere - from West Side Story which is based on Romeo and Juliet, which was the Shakespeare play being depicted so I thought it was absolutely perfect!

Gothambutnotahamster · 07/05/2023 21:38

I'm loving it. William's speech was perfect. The drones are amazing & loving the lady beside Charles getting into the swing of things (not Camilla as I know her name Grin)
