She’s absolutely awful!

Her voice is harsh and rough, she’s out of tune and out of rhythm. Dreadful.

I thought it was my ears. She doesn’t sound good

RantyMcRanterton · 30/06/2024 16:18

IIRC her voice was damaged by a brush with a horrible virus (Lymes disease? from a tickbite?) but she can still stride a stage.

PurplePanda1 · 30/06/2024 16:18

I suppose at least we know she’s singing live 😂

ChrissyHynde · 30/06/2024 16:19

It's awful , was going to go to lytham but won't bother now

Staplerandstappler · 30/06/2024 16:19

She’s no Dolly Parton, that’s for sure. Dolly rocked this slot.

Mykittensmittens · 30/06/2024 16:19

She had an issue with her vocal cords and thought her voice would never fully return and is candid in saying it’s not the same - there is a bbc interview with her (Reel Stories) just a couple of weeks ago where she discusses the issue.

MaturingCheeseball · 30/06/2024 16:19

I’m dying here! She looks quite grumpy too. And resembles Beyoncé more than Shania Twain…

Overtheatlantic · 30/06/2024 16:19

I think she’s always been over hyped so not surprised.

orion678 · 30/06/2024 16:19

She had Lyme disease in 2003 and suffered significant nerve damage and had to have surgery to preserve what is left of her voice

needhelpwiththisplease · 30/06/2024 16:20

It's not the best

delphi13 · 30/06/2024 16:20

She's clearly having some issues with her ear piece which won't be helping her. Cyndi Lauper was also struggling with the ear piece so I think the sound people have a lot to answer for. Of course her voice won't be what it was as she had to have surgery.

Dolly Parton lip synced her slot.

Ihaveahamster · 30/06/2024 16:22

She’s reminiscent of a drunk old bird singing karaoke in my local. Actually feel sorry for her.

That doesn’t stop her rocking it.

Only a shed load richer and won't give the smallest of shits what you think of her.

Sexond that - but then Dolly is a Goddess in my eyes!! Love her!

Hopefully the ‘drunk old bird’ will be having a fabulous time and won’t give a flying fuck what you think of her!

dizzygirl1 · 30/06/2024 16:26

Not just her voice but she seems out of it or high. Her face doesn't move at all.

FailBetter · 30/06/2024 16:26

Staplerandstappler · 30/06/2024 16:23

True but therein lies the rub - have the crowd paid $$$ to see lipsync+ backing track or to hear the real thing, warts and all.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 30/06/2024 16:26

Yes but there's definitely something going on. She's fiddling with her ear piece and giving side stage a thumbs down..

reallifeboogie · 30/06/2024 16:26

I was waiting for somebody to post this. She's awful!

I’m sure she won’t, I bet it will put people off bothering to go and see her in future though. DD offered me tickets to see her in Hyde Park and I almost said yes. Glad I didn’t now!

Well I would hope that most people would hope that they present well and put on a good enough performance, it being her job and all

Why is there such aggression with things like this, 'she wont give a fuck what you think'. Well she isnt there for any other reason than to put on a performance, so its it does rather matter what the audience think doesnt it?

I thought I remembered all this from Diana Ross too, couldnt sing for toffee in the end.

Vote to have Rick Astley back doing Morrissey <3 <3 <3

Karmakamelion · 30/06/2024 16:28

Saw here recently and she's amazing. Some of the stuff written on here is just awful
