He did the same as the other Hugh and all seems forgiven there.

Daftnotstupid · 07/05/2023 22:40

Actually Blippi did worse (I'm not condoning what the Hughs did) and he's a kids TV presenter

Mark Owen is giving me the ick!

He confessed to 10 affairs, mega ick

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 07/05/2023 22:43

I thought Paloma was ok actually. Didn't think she was off.

I loved Katy Perry and thought she sang well. I know she can be hit and miss but tonight was good.

Take that brought in that other guy and my husband said it's because they need a younger voice to carry the song. I think he is right, the guys have weak voices now.
Mark is a weed. Can't stand him.

Overall, enjoyed the concert and the drones were Incredible!

Yes I agree about the younger guy

Katy Perry will forever be known as a Toffee Penny

😆exactly what we said

Cosmosforbreakfast · 07/05/2023 22:46

I would have loved to have seen Ant and Dec up there performing 'Lets Get Ready To Rumble'.

senua · 07/05/2023 22:49

I thought the concert was very good. It was a much better standard than those things they usually put on in the Mall. The drones were fab.

100%. I cant think of an event that wouldn't be made better by this.

To be fair, Katy Perry is a phenomenal entertainer, but she hasn’t a note in her head.

Or as my old granny used to say, ‘couldn’t hold a tune in a bucket’. 😂

LaffTaff · 07/05/2023 23:10

Zak Abel singing don't you forget about me was the stand out I thought, amazing voice. The drones were superb - the message was powerful alongside the song.

Discwriter · 07/05/2023 23:29

I really enjoyed it. They had to make it work for a very wide audience and thought it was great.

Discwriter · 07/05/2023 23:30

Stunning setting and enjoyed William's speech too.

I've met him, definite ick factor.

Ohh! Do tell! It won't go any further 🤐
I knew Jason Orange in a former life, but he wouldn't remember me.
Loved the woman at the side of the King, she was a joy 😀

Not much to tell really just a grubby man with possible substance issues. If I had met him on the street I would have crossed over to avoid him.

Hugh, yes! Autocorrect! Story is blocked in the UK, but if you Google Hugh Bonneville scandal you’ll find it. It's bizarre how people have forgotten, so the injunction seems to be working.

Had a Google.
So he paid for a
" service " and she sold the story

Well Howard pulled it out of the bag! He's never had the best voice but that was great!

Unlike Paloma, Lionel and Bryn and Andrea together

Why didn't Gary sing??? I thought Gary always sings Never Forget??

Howard is older than Mark or Gary so your husband is wrong.

@HundredMilesAnHour Howard always sings Never Forget.

@HundredMilesAnHour Howard always sings Never Forget.

I never realised that. I guess his voice sounds more powerful on recordings then? Saying that, Katy and Lionel didn't sound much like their recordings either. Although I've seen Katy sing live and she sounded as you'd expect i.e. not like she did tonight!

LlynTegid · 08/05/2023 07:31

The UK as a whole punches above its weight in music, it is one of our cultural exports and there are some long and recent traditions that were not included.

No guitar based bands (think back to the Beatles and continually to the present day).
No folk singers or say Cornish sea shanties.
No grime or other music orignating in inner cities.

Eightiesgirl · 08/05/2023 07:50

@HundredMilesAnHour I think @Hungrycaterpillarsmummy was referring to Calum Scott and I agree with her dh.

Qilin · 08/05/2023 08:39

Callum Scott is there due to the new remix of Greatest Days, as well as the DJ Robin Schulz. Think it's for the new film that comes out next month, based in the TT musical.

"Davros
...Don't we have enough british music to feature?
Not that's well known enough for a global popular music concert..."

Seriously? British music is famous and popular the world over!
