LapsedPacifist did your gran wear alot of fushia and sparkles?

I love the scene from Moulin Rouge where Euan Mcreger sings it to Nicole Kidman. So full of passion.

MsKittyFane · 04/06/2012 21:42

Enimm I meant!! :o

I have nearly run out of alcohol Shock

I may have to go to bed - this is like Eurovision - impossible without copious booze

Cannot believe even Elton/LapsedPacifist's granny is out of tune!!

Cliff did sound awful but I think the sound was a bit 'off'. That opera lady sounded a bit funny too. Heads should roll...

molschambers · 04/06/2012 21:42

Elton sounds crap. Great song but he's fairly over-cooking it i think.

BelieveInPink · 04/06/2012 21:42

Elton has obviously had a wisdom tooth out today and is still numb from it.

MsKittyFane · 04/06/2012 21:43

Oh it's so much better now it's dark.

WhoKnowsWhereHerMajestyGoes · 04/06/2012 21:43

Most of the music isn't too bad, but the links are wince-inducing. Miranda was probably the worst, I've been flicking channels in a lot of the links though, to escape.

Didn't think much of Cliff's pink suit and I didn't like the Jubilee song, but then I can't stand Gary Barlow. Grace Jones, not quite what I was expecting but wow, she's old enough to be my mum and she can do that!

cantspel · 04/06/2012 21:44

The sound was always going to be a problem as it is not a concert hall but a rounabout in the middle of the Mall

MsKittyFane · 04/06/2012 21:44

Laaaa la la - la la - laaaa

But the older you get the older your voice gets!! they just don't know when to stop.

Cliff was unspeakable. Lennox just awful, grace was always mental,

Jimmy Carr was the worst so far

Doesn't it finish at 10 because the Queen has to light a beacon, or is that just her excuse for leaving early?

changeforthebetter · 04/06/2012 21:45

Sophie Wessex seems to be doing her best to chivvy them along (probs to make up for all that embarrassing fake Sheikh mularkey Wink)

longjane · 04/06/2012 21:45

yeah the sound is really really bad
but elton has been really ill

Cliff was shockingly bad whoknows !

cupofteaplease · 04/06/2012 21:46

I'm really enjoying it! Blush

WhoKnowsWhereHerMajestyGoes · 04/06/2012 21:46

Cliff's voice has really gone hasn't it? Total loss of dignity with the gyrating. At least Tom Jones is ageing gracefully (and can still sing).

noyouhavehadawee · 04/06/2012 21:46

what fake sheikh mullarky - do tell i is bored...

cantspel · 04/06/2012 21:47

For all our misery and pulling apart of the concert the `Mall is packed full of happy people who seem to be loving it.

maybe it is one of those things that you just have to be there in person to get the full benefit of.

changeforthebetter · 04/06/2012 21:47

Please let this be over in 14 minutes. OK, I am not actually forced to sit here but it's like a really gory horror scene or footage of super scary snakes............ I feel compelled Grin

Pixel · 04/06/2012 21:47

I expect poor Elton's been up all night with the baby. Grin

LapsedPacifist · 04/06/2012 21:47

We have crap reception - our telly keeps buffering , but: Is everyone in this fecking concert singing out of tune tonight? Shock
Or has Elton being up late doing too many night feeds ?

molschambers · 04/06/2012 21:47

Jimmy Carr and Lenny Henry - terrible.

Cliff always awful but like the annoying Great Uncle you have to invite to a wedding. You hope he won't turn up to bore the pants off everyone but he always fucking does.

But....

Why the fuck did Sir Gary Of Barlow ask Grace Jones to perform?

The woman is unspeakably awful and absolutely fucking barking.
