To think Celeste ruined what should have been a brilliant moment?

[beachtimeagain]

Queens Jubilee Concert - What a Wonderful World.

I mean, that's supposed to be a happy soulful song. She shouted it and didn't smile once. Such a shame

I work in that industry and she was truly flat, awful - but it may be she was chronically nervous- however the trio doing 'climb very mountain ' totally took the biscuit in true awfulness. The star of the show was Paddington and the lighting /effects- well done production team - , I thought Prince William spoke very well too

Did anyone see John Newmans performance near the beginning? I couldn't tell if he was extremely nervous or just completely offhis head, but I thought he was going to keel over at one point!

Celeste was awful flat tuneless soulless and with zero performance skill Rod needs to retire Andrea Bocelli was incredible

The Climb Every Mountain thing was weird because you couldn't see who was actually singing. I couldn't believe it when the camera finally closed in for about 2 seconds and it was none other than Nicola Roberts! She did have a couple of dud notes to start but overall her voice was amazing!

Rod Stewarts 3 blonde bombshell backing singers was so dated!

I think Celeste will have had a good sob after that performance. Either nerves or soundpiece not working.

I was more bothered about the appalling grammar in the projection of Elton John's lyrics onto BP "......how wonderful life is while your in the world."🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh really? No way! I didn't actually notice but that is pretty awful!

She did look terribly nervous but I thought she did ok
Nicola Roberts wa flat as a pancake in that awful climb every mountain, Mica Paris did her best to keep it going.
Duran Duran stole the show for me

In our household we were quite disappointed by the entire show, they didn't really have truly british or great acts, no elton in person and no paul mccartney?? They absolutely should have finished with the proclaimers or madness aswell

Glad it wasn't just me🤣
Pretty shabby that one got through

She was very out if tune I can sing better then that 😀Duran Duran we’re pretty poor too but Sam Ryder , Elbow and the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals section were great

I admit to not having heard of Celeste till now. I've just listened to a clip of her performance and, not being able to see her properly, I've only got her voice to go by, and she sounds absolutely terrified. Poor girl.

If she was as frightened as she sounded, she'll never sing again after the reaction to this performance!

Hang in @LaurieFairyCake sweet Caroline is the Queen’s favourite song?

@Lysianthus
Diana singing about a b* job? What did I miss?

🙈🤣

I had to switch over. It was just plain odd. There was no strong curation of acts, it felt more like "we need volunteers for the school trip". Maybe some sort of UK and Commonwealth performers bill from throughout the years (ok, prob not from 70 years ago but you get my drift). A few collaborations that were a bit off the wall like Take That with Stormzy or JLS with Kate Tempest. I just got as bored as Prince George!

I agree . It was an interpretation.

Rod Stewart has the wrong voice to be singing Sweet Caroline. You need someone who has a strong voice. What did he mutter before singing it? Something about the BBC?
I heard him interviewed a couple of days ago and he said he was going to be singing a song he'd never sung before and hadn't been able to practice much. Disappointed with his performance though. He only seemed to sing half the first song and left his backing singers to finish it.
Loved Diversity, the guy who did the rap about sport ,Elbow and Alicia Keys.
Thought Diana Ross looked and sounded fab. I can't believe she's 78!

Loved pretty much all of it, but Diana Ross was too flat and quiet and some was lipsynced. Rod stewart sounded frail.

I've read she suffers from horrendous stage fright, she also has a habit of cancelling at the 11th hour.....maybe they couldn't risk it?

Who was the guy who did the rap about sport? He was great.

Doc Brown. He’s great, actually does a lot of comedy.

Sour grapes. She was amazing, and I say that as someone who had never heard of her until tonight and hates modern music.

We enjoyed it (apart from Celeste and Climb every mountain although lights etc for that were fab)

I was thinking how about (in no particular order) and perhaps could have had a supergroup ensemble at end of a few of them ?

Tom Jones
Geoff Lynne
Bryan Adams
Paul McCartney
The Rilling Stones
Proclaimers
Spice Girls
Take That
Madness
Jools Holland
Ed Sheeran

Diana Ross is amazing for her age but thought her overall & the songs a strange choice

Am I too young or too old to not know who the fuck Celeste is?
