Glastonbury on bbc2

Yes indeed Callistemon. He also stands in his head every day. I can foresee a trip to A&E if I did that!

I was worried that Paul Mcartneys set would be disappointing but it was fantastic and made me feel very emotional. Especially seeing John and George on screen and Golden Slumbers at the end.What an enormous talent.I do like some of the younger act Kasey Musgraves and First Aid kit in particular. Beautiful voices. But anyone criticising Macca should ask themselves how many current artists will be up on stage for 2hours plus with a vast audience singing along to such a back catalogue at 80. And I agree with the previous poster about Megan Thee stallion.Utterly depressing.

On his head not in his head obviously!

The young country singer with the wellie boots was Kacey Musgraves - she was great. Haven't seen Paul Mc yet, but Diana Ross' singing was very out of tune - totally relied on the backing singers! Was away in Bournemouth last week, and we managed to catch 3 shows of stars all around the 78 year old mark (we were very lucky!) George Benson (we barely sat down, he was amazing!), Roger Daltrey also sang well, but not too many familiar Who songs. Then Gladys Knight - wow, she looked and sounded like she was in her 50s - stunning performance! Any of those would be great in a future Legends slot!

Thanks for that. There seemed to be quite a few who looked similar. I’ll check her out on utube; really liked the last song that she did.

McCartney and Ross needed their backing singers. His voice isn't what it was, he ruined "Blackbird". Watch Celeste for a fantastic voice that needs no support. She's great.

Yes but I wonder what her voice will be like when she's 80. I personally don't care if Paul's voice has gone. I watched it for the fantastic show, the songs and the brilliance of Paul.

Paul’s voice might be weaker because of his age but at least he was always in tune and hasn’t lost any of his musical ability.

Celeste?
Jeez. 5 minutes of her & you’d be depressed.
She’s so dull.

At least Paul is entertaining and upbeat.

Kandinsky

*Celeste*?
Jeez. 5 minutes of her & you’d be depressed.
She’s so dull.

At least Paul is entertaining and upbeat.

Glad it’s not just me. She looked fantastic but I couldn’t make out any tune to anything she was singing. It all sounded the same and very dull!

If you change the tune because you can't hit the notes are you still singing "in tune"? He dropped all the high notes in Blackbird

Glad it's not just me Kandinsky & MayBee70, Celeste didn't impress me with her mangling of It's a Wonderful World at the platinum jubilee but even less so at Glasto. I was so distracted by her waving her arms around, whilst mumbling and wailing that I lost track. First Aid Kit, George Ezra and Gabriels were gems though.

He was still singing in tune, Glorianny even if he changed it to avoid the high notes.

He can do no wrong for me. Voice or no voice. As mention previously, The Beatles gave me 'something' in a troubled life.

Although I’m a big fan of Macca I don’t ever remember him having strong voice, he certainly doesn’t compare with Tom Jones.
That aside there is a world of difference between a recorded song and a live concert lasting over 2 hours, at 80 he did brilliantly.

Chewbacca

I really rate George Ezra, he’s got a great voice, that’s instantly recognisable whatever he sings, and he writes or cowrites all his own songs too. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s still around when he’s 80.

Cheered myself up with hours of Glasto yesterday.
Found some long time favourites and discovered a new one.

Elbow - who I’ve seen four times live. (Best time was at Eden Project)
Crowded House
Pet Shop Boys
Paul McCartney

Years and Years - outstanding.

I love George Ezra. We bought his last album if that's what they're still called.

Glorianny

McCartney and Ross needed their backing singers. His voice isn't what it was, he ruined "Blackbird". Watch Celeste for a fantastic voice that needs no support. She's great.

Celeste absolutely slaughtered 'Wonderful World' at the Jubilee. I couldn't bear listening, it was painful. I don't rate her singing at all.

If you want to hear a good female voice try Alison Krauss and Robert Plant at Glastonbury. She has a beautiful voice.

I love George Ezra. We bought his last album if that's what they're still called.

I have downloaded it kate. The track 'Most Wonderful Person on the Earth' (??) makes me quite emotional.

Sweetest Person in the World - oops

There's a new one. So it doesn't matter what the tune is, if you can't reach the notes just change them!
He ruined it. Why not just admit you can't sing it anymore and let it go?

He put on a great show and I was prepared to not enjoy it (having heard him sing outside Buckingham Palace a few years ago) His voice might not be as good as it was but it was a pleasure to see him perform and bring back all the memories of my youth when Paul was far away my favourite Beatle.

If you are singing out of tune (usually flat) you are singing most notes slightly lower in pitch than is intended.

Singing a completely different note to avoid a high note is OK so long as it is in tune - that’s how harmonies work. Sorry if I’m not explaining it very well.

Diana Ross was singing flat a lot of the time - not quite hitting the notes intended which meant that any notes she changed to make a song easier to sing were still out of tune.

I think as he wrote the songs, he's entitled to sing them as high or low as he likes!
