I wonder if that's my neighbour? It would certainly explain a few things.

Indeed


In Camberwell, anything is possible.

She was/is amazing, but it was a strangely un-connective affair.


The massive backing track and styled 'playalong grrrlz band' was deeply irritating.


We watched it all but (to some extent) with the same fascination that we might have watched a sumo wrestler doing backflips in front of a giant strobe light - whilst a swarm of midgets juggled fire.

Jah...she is one of the most amazing vocal talents out there at the moment. Few are in her league. And I always think what makes for a good tune is subjective in the end anyway but songs like 'Listen' and 'If I were a Boy' are also great songs for their genre. In my experience, most people that dismiss Beyonce do so out of a blanket dislike for that genre of music. The Beatles released some right dross in the first half of their career but we hail them as one of the greatest ever. See what I mean?


Hmm Bob...I actually thought it was a clever set. She totally understood that the crowd were not going to be solely die hard Beyonce fans. That Prince cover into Kings of Leon was cool. The all girl backing band is neither here nor there really is it, what matters is the overall show and she put on a good one I thought.

There's no problem with that MP but it's hard to have a discussion about talent in the face of that kind of prejudice. I tend to think that those who really love music can appreciate the best of any genre/ type of music.


I think it's too early to declare her as one of the greats Otta....I think it takes a whole career to define that but she certainly is one of the best vocal talents around at the moment and I think will only get better and better.

A festival performance, especially Glastonbury, is different to doing the O2. It's not about having a slavishly perfected backing track or a load of shit-hot musicians hidden away round the back - with a handful of people with crazy hair who look the part augmenting it out front. It was irritating.


But then half the people watching were only 12 so probably didn't care.
