Oh no Blue Boy - thank you too; but there is a dearth on all music forums (just check Record of the Day Glasto threads). |

In brief, U2 were astonishing with Bono in the best voice -a throw back to the 80's with The Achtung Baby material sounding fresh and memorable.
Coldplay threw everything at their performance and the crowd loved them. Still not a great frontman Chris Martin , nor a singer in Bono's league but the set worked well.
Elbow were too laid back but again the crowd loved them .
Beyonce was outstandingly good , with her choice of songs and dynamic stagecraft. As suggested earlier in this thread she was savvy enough to work out carefully in advance what would work and so delivered brilliantly.
Apart from Lauren Laverne, the presenters were uniformly dreadful , particulary Zane Lowe and Mark Ratcliffe, nil charisma, smug , arrogant and often plain wong. Why do the BBC perist in using these rank awful DJ's who have no tv experience or training. |

Quite possibly the best way to reach the widest audience possible is to duet, guest etc. with other artists thus combining each artists fan-bases (in theory). Most artists play this trump card a few times in their career whereas Beyonce has done it to such an extent I'm surprised her fans haven't disowned her. Talk about a total sell out:
Jay-Z
Sean Paul
Shakira
Amil
Luther Vandross
Alejandro Fernández
Justin Timberlake
Usher
Lil Wayne
Alicia
Lady Gaga
Missy Elliott
P. Diddy
Stevie Wonder
Kanye West
There's probably more.... |
