OMG anyone else watching Shania Twain at Glasto?

[Ihaveahamster]

She’s absolutely awful!

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

Are you sure Janet Jackson and Kylie did acoustic performances at Glastonbury?

She's 58 years old.

By MN standards that's teetering on the edge of dementia, drawers full of lavender bags and carers twice a day.

Saw some of her costumes at a museum in the US a couple of years ago. They were absolutely tiny. Like teeny-tiny, for a Barbie doll. Looks like they would still fit her!

Stevie Nicks - she could do the slot?

She wasn't amazing, but as a big Shania Twain fan I went into full on mum-mode singing along wearing my cowboy hat. The kids actually left the room out of embarrassment for me.

Miming is a form of deception. There should be a law that you have to be told of miming before you buy any gig or festival ticket, if not you get a 100% refund. And tv companies should be obliged to tell you, just as they do about 'strong language'.

There would be almost none if that was the case.

It wasn’t great was it, not sure if she had sound problems or her voice just wasn’t on top form today.

There we go then

A huge number of artists use playback (backing tracks / extra vocals / additional instruments that wouldn’t be played by those on stage). I used to know a band who played additional crowd noise at the end of a song to make it sound like the crowd were going wilder than they were.

Also the sound mix on the bbc broadcast is known for being appalling, what we’re hearing on tv will be different to what you hear in the audience. However I agree she’s not hitting the notes, I wouldn’t necessarily leap to blame her audio team though.

Oh i wanted to see this. Missed it cos my TV guide says 6.15pm if this or that changes re. football and i cant be arsed to work it out

Dexys, This what she is like, was fantastic BBC iPlayer - Glastonbury - Dexys - This Is What She's Like

Thats hilliariousbut true

I never said she should be.

Glad I'm not there this year. Lana Del Rey and Elton John put me off for life last year. I honestly wouldn't pay to go again. Shania sounds just as bad right now. Just caterwauler's (though I am glad I saw Elton live and to be fair his issue is age. Lana Del Rey ruined her voice with ciggies).

It's on iPlayer for next 30 days.

Ok Ta

This. Shania will very likely have been paid several hundred thousand pounds for this .. Saying 'see if you can do better' to someone slating her is a ludicrous thing to say @magnoliablooms . 🙄

.

Yep agreed she is absolutely awful - I thought that it was just me. So out of tune it was unbelievable.

Love to see you do it better?!

I saw the same. They really don't look like they'd fit an actual human being in!

Getting the sound levels right there is tough.
I saw New Order at Glastonbury and they were terrible. So disappointing but they were clearly having issues with ear pieces and hearing each other.
The friend I went with saw them live a couple of weeks later and said they were brilliant, to the point you'd think it was a different band.

Only professional singers can criticise a performance? Why?

What a puerile comment.

Shania is a performer in a headline act. Undoubtedly being paid a fortune. It’s not unreasonable to expect her to be able to carry a tune.

Genuinely curious, so they not do sound checks at Glastonbury? A lot of pp seem to have had sound issues!

Saw her in concert the other night and she was absolutely abysmal. Even the die hard fan I went with said she was crap.

We saw her in concert in Nov and she was fab
