Its a bit sad...As time Goes by

[Evans Electric]

Just watched the Queen's concert , which was fine ...but as time goes by , the voice starts to go.

So Cliff, like him or not , is usually highly professional .......seemed to be struggling and was out of tune .( Pulled it back a bit for "Congratulations")

Paul MaCartney , hate to say it , but struggling to hit the notes.

Dame Shirley , not belting it out anymore .

Stevie Wonder , usually goes off key anyway and did so tonight .

The beautiful Cheryl Cole ...if there was a key there she didn't find it I'm afraid.

That bloke Will I Am , bit of a no mark .

Sir Elton , sorry but the voice is going too .

And how about asking Rolf to fill in 3 minutes singing accapello then stopping him at the last verse ...how un professional was that??

Not having a bash at these guys ...just hit me as a bit sad

The queen wouldn't of noticed she had ear plugs in anyway!!

 

[batty]

Loved Kylie she would have been the better one to finish the show.

Mrs PD commented early on that everything seemed out of tune.

Yes cutting Rolf off in the last verse was most unprofessional, I heard the crowd boo when he was told to stop.

And at the end, well the schedule must have been running late, because the BBC just couldn't wait to get the credits rolling up the screen in the middle of the fireworks and finish the program, again very unprofessional, and not a dignified end to the program.

Those of you with a boaty interest may read various boating forums, and on those there was a LOT of criticism about the BBC's coverage of the Thames Pageant, mostly because they did NO homework about the different boats involved, told you NONE of the history behind several historic boats, and instead kept cutting to trivial stuff not related to a boating spectacular. In fact they seem to have chosen a bunch of presenters where NONE of them knew ANYTHING about boats.

Sorry, but the BBC have been a big let down this weekend.

I thought that too Dave , couldn't wait to finish when its that sort of coverage that would normally run over, so what if the news is late , they only reported on what we'd just watched anyway.

You forgot to mention Robby Williams, I reckon he had smoked 100 B&H before hitting the stage.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I thought the same also. It seemed Stevie Wonder had a lisp. Elton is sounding like the pub singer.

Have to agree especially when the idiot off a commentator said that HMS Belfast was 91,000 tons thats as big as the Nimitz class aircraft carriers.

Do you not think that, overall, the sound reproduction was P!$$ Poor? Thought it was my TV, switched it to 'surround' and it was even worse!

On the subjecct of Kylie [Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Kylie] dressed as a Pearly Queen and yet no necklace :innocent

 

[OnOff]

My missus said "God! Isn't she tiny!" when we were watching Kylie. Without thinking I said "Just thinking she'd be really light on top!". Guess who ain't getting ANY?

Sound was poor on our TV too . We usually have the TV sound off as its a bit tinny and listen through the DVD player. In the case of the concert it sounded awful so it was back to the TV.

Guess you didn't attend Knebworth then ?

Not my taste in music TBH Canoey.

Totally agree alot of the performances where totally off, cheryl cole has never been able to hit any of the notes, unfortunatly she didnt have the option of autotune

queenie looked totally miserable during the performances, perhaps because philip wasnt at her side.

tbh tho the amount of money that was spent in total 'celebrating' the jubiliee i,e the amount spent on security and snipers for queenie exceeded 25million why waste all that money when the country is in serious debt!

government n that seem to have priorities totally out of proportion!
