To think Ellie Golding at Glastonbury is wildly over rated

Here I am watching her on TV with a massive massive crowd and she's so dull! Is it all a bit Emperors New Clothes ? Or would she be better live?

I dont get the hype at all about her she is meh

ShoeWhore · 29/06/2014 21:37

I was just saying to dh I am not sure what she's meant to be. We've turned over.

primarkprincess · 29/06/2014 21:37

I totally agree. I don't think she's talented at all, and her girlie voice irritates me

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 29/06/2014 21:37

She appears to have forgotten her clothes!

AnnaLegovah · 29/06/2014 21:37

Ellie Goulding is wildly overrated full stop. Very safe middle class warbler for women in their 30's I've found.

LoveVintage · 29/06/2014 21:39

She's no Dolly.

MagnificentMaleficent · 29/06/2014 21:40

I was just thinking how her set was showing the range of stuff she does. Her energy is fantastic.

Love her body confidence as well.

somedizzywhore1804 · 29/06/2014 21:41

Her voice makes my teeth itch.

Shakey1500 · 29/06/2014 21:41

Another one irritated by her voice. It's got a quality that makes me stabby.

cardibach · 29/06/2014 21:43

I/m with Anna. Overrated wherever she is. I disagree about her being a 'safe warbler' though. Her technique is shite - diction and tuning both suspect. She is total rubbish.

MrsCosmopilite · 29/06/2014 21:44

Can't stand her. Give me PJ Harvey any day.

shakethetree · 29/06/2014 21:44

I think she's brilliant! & she's extremely talented.

YABU.

JuniDD · 29/06/2014 21:45

DH & I love her, I think she's all round great.

cardibach · 29/06/2014 21:45

Full range, Magnificent? From out of tune poorly enunciated ballad to out of tune poorly enunciated up tempo? And why wouldn't she be body confident? She is a slim, attractive young woman Confused

Sparklingbrook · 29/06/2014 21:46

I think she is fabulous and looks great. Thoroughly enjoying watching her -she's brilliant.

cardibach · 29/06/2014 21:46

Could those who like her explain why? I'm not seeing any redeeming features. What am I missing?

MagnificentMaleficent · 29/06/2014 21:49

Because not all pretty young things are body confident. And she gets a lot of slating for what she wears, and gives the impression of not giving a shit.

And I think she has a great musicality about her.

bettereveryday · 29/06/2014 21:50

I like her singing ..she has an ok body id not change my 35 years after 2 children body with her and no im not size 8!

Sparklingbrook · 29/06/2014 21:51

I love her music, and I like her image. She didn't have the best of childhoods and through dedication and hard work she got where she is.
She writes and plays instruments. She comes across as a lovely person.

WoweeZowee · 29/06/2014 21:51

I agree with Magnificent - I'm rather enjoying it. It's nice to see someone with a bucket load of energy having fun... None of this Lily Allen bored/boring nonsense.

Sparklingbrook · 29/06/2014 21:52

Yay-Burn. I love this. Smile

Pancakeflipper · 29/06/2014 21:52

Do you think she did a lot of bouncing in the gold bra at home to check for possibility of fall-out-breasts ?

shakethetree · 29/06/2014 21:54

Card - have you heard 'explosions' - 'home' - 'lights' ? each song so different but fantastic. I love everything she does & find her refreshingly normal, she's not trying too hard like the Paloma Faiths of this world.

bettereveryday · 29/06/2014 21:54

she has defintely an amazing skin..and I do love her hair1!

JuniDD · 29/06/2014 21:54

As far as I can tell her tuning is fine. I really like her music and listened to Lights and Halcyon loads. She comes over as a really nice person. She looks like she's having a lot of fun!

cardibach what singers do you like? Not confrontational, just wondering where we might cross over. Smile
