One love Manchester

[Tashyboy]

Fair play for him for doing it. Although I would argue that the most dreaded words you can hear from an artist with a massive back catalogue of famous hits to chose from when you are playing just 3 songs in front of a global audience is 'here's a track from my new album....'

I thought the same with wall of glass, but as Dan said, it was a proper tune and could well go onto become an anthem.

She did amazingly well for someone so young.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Liam Gallagher with that orange top on looked just like Kenny from South Park

Great performance though

mmmm, more chance of me voting Tory.

 

[gmhubble]

Didn't Liam borrow this?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Shame Noel couldn't put things aside and attend to.

Noels out of the ****** country weren't we all love get on a ******** plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad ****

Liam's not too happy with Noel.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Good stuff all round - got TV turned up nice a loud...

And I could go for that Katy Perry - if I were 30yrs younger...

Shame she can't sing for toffee.

The choir was lovely. I got sent upstairs though after the Smiley Miley horror duet. Apparently donating to the fund raiser does not allow me to point out that most of the acts were out of tune or trashed their cover versions. I've tipped over into grumpy man territory supposedly. Good spectacle though from what I did see.

As a bit of a Crowded House fan I gave them a mulligan on that one as it was for such a good cause.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

There were a few Mulligans last night, ha ha. As you say though, a good cause and I handed my money over. A bit worrying though that so many professional singers would struggle on the pub circuit. Auto tune has a lot to answer for.

I do play a game with my 11 year old daughter called 'spot the auto tune' on Captial FM which is what she listens to all the time. In fact I have taught her so well she is beginning to spot when someone has been auto tuned or not.

TBH I don't see it as a great issue, if you are 11 and into that kind of thing then whether the voice is auto tuned is not a big issue to them. They are not into the music for the voice. Also Ian Brown of one of the most revered bands of our age can't sing live for toffee. No matter how much the Stone Roses apologists try and tell you otherwise

 

[Beezerk]

I really enjoyed it despite some rather questionable vocal performances.
Liam Gallagher is a pi$$ poor singer as is Robbie but they have enough stage presence to pull it off, wasn't keen on Liam singing one from his new album, didn't sit right and it was a crap song which didn't help.
I can see Somewhere Over The Rainbow doing a Bryan Adams and spending a million weeks at number 1.

Yours

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Loved everyone having a great time giving it mega and joyous dancing, hugging, laughter and tears

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Shame she can't sing for toffee.

I actually thought she was pretty good - auto-tuned or not.

 

[Tashyboy]

Think he is on tour in Germany
Logistics/refunds an issue methinks

Was talking to my lad who got back from gig earlier this morning. Said it was Liam who was touring in Germany. Did a gig earlier in the day then blasted back to Manc. Noel is on holiday.

As fish pointed out, it is currently kicking off between the Gallachers on Twitter.

Lad got tickets in the front pit and said it was an emotional gig. Spent all evening roaring his eyes out. The great big 29 yr old Lorry driving fairy. Said it was more emotional than city beating QPR. He's no son of mine.

oh ah, he said he went mental when Liam came out, he is a massive fan. But he said some of the young uns " didn't get it".

 

[Lord Tyrion]

. Said it was more emotional than city beating QPR. He's no son of mine.

:rofl::rofl:

 

[ger147]

£10m raised so far.

Great performance though

That jacket sold out within an hour of Liam wearing it on stage.

 

[Tashyboy]

Young Tash is talking to Missis T.

said the most emotional moments of the evening were watching the victims and parents of the original bombings walking into the cricket ground. Some without kids.

He was saying that when the gig started a guy from the BBC said "Manchester were live in five mins" but before they went live, as we saw Mr Mumford kick off the show a guy, Tony Walsh aka Long fellow read out a poem he had written. He said it was so emotional and massive. It set the scene for the night.

Best singer of the night Arianna. He said he cannot believe he is saying it.
Best moments, girls choir singing with Arianna.
His best moment, Liam walking out.
Thought Robbie was crap and the crowd carried him.
Coldplay very very good.

 

[Beedee]

I find Coldplay a bit m'eh. Decent enough I suppose but bland as a margarine sandwich, painted beige.

But I have to admit they really know how to dominate a stage and play to big, big audience.
