Where are the show stopping artists nowadays?

Adele? Thanks for the info on Michael Jackson, love him.

No sure why but Adele leaves me cold even though I know she's a sensational singer. Love Michael Jackson .

Yes Petra Adele is great for her voice and lyrics but the singers I have named could sing, dance, perform in the big arenas. They created such a buzz.

I watch masses of favourite singers on Youtube. You can often get a whole show.

Going back even further Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Where are stars of today with this calibre of entertainment ?

Bette Middler, Kylie and love him or loathe him, Robbie Williams is brilliant in concert.

tanith I agree about Adele. I don't mind her as a person but her songs don't do anything for me, I think she mumbles a lot and can't depict what she is singing about. "Skyfawwww"???

I think we were so lucky in the 1960s to have such fabulous music, individual artists and groups.

Seeing the Beatles was a memorable night in my teenage years. Chuck Berry was great but a difficult character who insisted on being paid cash. The great Van Morrison, who must be a nightmare to work with.

Yes I can imagine Robbie Williams is good Juliettemaybe he will do a Come Back show like Elvis did ? I like Bette Midler but she is about my age, where are the up and coming stars ?

Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi both put on a great show. Adam Lambert who toured last year with Queen was every bit as good as Freddie Mercury.

Humbertbear I quite agree re Adam Lambert. I recorded their 2014/5 programme and still watch it. He is definitely as good as Freddie Mercury, the same style and presence on the stage as well as a fabulous voice.

In their day The Rolling Stones could captivate, maybe not everybody but certainly me! Like NanKate I am also an aging rocker!

Charleygirl I often watch the Rolling Stones on Youtube with such favourites as Brown Sugar, Little Red Rooster, It's Only Rock and Roll. The RS and ACDC do a good number together, via Youtube again, can't think what it is called but it is a bit risqué .

I shall check out the chap who does the Freddie Mercury numbers.

I've just had to take my inhaler! Adam Lambert as good as Freddie? I'm off for a lie down in a dark room. . .
