Alicia keys.. Nye! Wtaf

[ImHereForTheEntertainment]

Is it me or is it a load of depressing shite!
We put TV on 15 min ago and honestly I've had to turn it off.

Never the hootenanny

Although I’m not sure a review of this year would be that appealing.

I would love a Sophie Ellis-Bextor new year’s kitchen disco.

I thought they weren't having fireworks?! Were they real?

Agree about Alicia Keys, really duff choice.

Auld lang syne is the most depressing song ever so I was glad not to hear it after the fireworks!

She needed a Strepsil and someone to find her missing top.

She looked amazing, sounded great. She can really sing.
Was low key, but people would complain if it was a party.

It was....... nice.

But we needed more than nice.

We needed uplifting, magnificent, awesome. There's so much talent to pick from, I am confused as to how they got this quite so wrong on this year of all years!

The light show was spot on imo though.

I thought she was great, nice not to hear naff party songs for once.

Hootenanny was good tonight as it was a kind of best of.

I watched Queen on sky 1. Much better 👍

We went retro tonight.
Watched Life of Brian followed by Withnail and I.

My 15yr old is now film educated, cracking start to 2021 for him.

I like Alicia but not NYE. Bad choice BBC.

I thought Lionel Ritchies ‘Hello’ was a strange choice of song during the fireworks 🤷🏻‍♀️

She's a great singer usually but on that she was off key most of the time

Listen to the actual record of New York and she's very slightly off key throughout on there too. She has a lovely voice - just can't quite pinpoint the note she's singing.

If you want a better voice (Terema Wainwright) and a far better version of the song, here's your bonus ball:

But no UK talent free tonight?

You do realise Jools Holland's show isn't live. It's been recorded several weeks in advance every year.

that the music is generally quite relaxed & chilled, eat your dinner to music, or chat by the bar music not shake everything like crazy because it's the end of the year music.

I would call Dizzie Rascal's Bonkers and Ruby Turner's finale shaking the doors off for New Year. What more do you people need ffs?

@bingowingsmcgee

"She sounded poorly to me."

I thought this too! .. was actually thinking... covid??? 😣

well it was easy to switch to bbc2 for Jols - I did that, back for 10min at midnight to BBC1.

Jools, obvs!

@felineflutter every time I flicked over it wasn't upbeat songs. I expect every track to be a party song at a party though.

I thought Lionel Ritchies ‘Hello’ was a strange choice of song during the fireworks

I thought it was because we used our telephones more to speak to people as we can't see them 🤣

@lulad 😂 I was a bit like ‘Eh?’ 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't rate Alicia Keys at all. quite a dreary show. I only really watched The Graham Norton show tonight, quite enjoyed it .

She’s fantastic!, Best choice ever!

I watched Top of the Pops tonight, which just showed party bangers, was great fun! Can't be doing with depressing shite right now, reality is hard enough! Hootenanny was ok tho, but mainly the clips from years ago ...
