Why Diana Ross?

You're right kitty, it was the Three Degrees that Charlie liked. My mistake.

My choice would have been Tom Jones....My 85 year old mum would never know a Diana Ross song but could sing along to all of Tom Jones tunes...Love his personality as well..

I've been called worse ?

Me too ! ?

I wondered about Julie Andrews and if she was still alive (she is).
But there are some great British women singers- Edie Reader, Cerys Mathews and Annie Lennox.

Shes coming over to the UK to play the legend slot at Glastonbury in June so she will be having a good summer ...I'm looking forward to seeing her

Think Julie Andrew’s had nodules or similar in her throat, and certainly cannot sing like she used to.

I saw her in Harrods once. She's tiny. (Diana Ross, not the Queen. And I don't often go to Harrods.)

I think that may even be a rule. Any time I see a famous person I think "s/he's tiny"

The Queen is tiny.

I like Diana Ross

I bet they couldn't book Adele as she swears too much

The other week I shared a train carriage with Fred from first dates and it wasn't even first class, it was the cheap seats. I have no idea if he can sing though, let alone in front of the Queen

Sam Ryder! Sam Ryder will play too!

Surely we're all happy about that?

I saw Simon Cowell in Harrods once, he too was small but was being incredibly patient with people staring etc.

I’d have expected light classical music at a concert like this. Something with a bit of dignity. Who is it for? The Queen, or the public? I shan’t be watching….or at least, I shan’t be listening.

Maybe because she is Supreme and the Queen would identify with that.

Dignity? The last jubilee concert had Grace Jones with a hula hoop.

How do we know the Queen doesn't like Diana Ross, but she'd like a bit of light classical?

Duran Duran, Queen, Adam Lambert, Rod Stewart are also going to be performing.

I will probably have it on in the background, as I rather enjoy Rod Stewart and Adam Lambert has a good voice.

We don’t, obviously. I’m just thinking of the likely tastes of her age group. The only thing I have heard about her musical tastes is that she enjoys military bands, marches etc.

I don’t remember the last jubilee concert, don’t think I saw it.

The Stones! They have definitely still got it.

I saw them in the 60’s and again in Glasgow in the 80’s. Fabulous.

They just pick a good mix of oldies & younger artists. Plus people who will appeal to an international audience as it’s being broadcast around the world. I’ll watch as it looks like a really good line up.
It’s not a private function purely for the Queen as she hasn’t heard of half of them,
I’m sure she’d rather be watching ‘only fools & horses’ with a cup of tea.

Maybe it is just because Glastonbury have booked her so there won't be any travel costs. (I'd say killing two birds with one stone-but perhaps that's not an expression to be used here!!!)
