So Fergie's the first "lip-syncher" - how many will follow?

Fergie's on stage at the minute at the Concert For Diana. Nice miming!. I wonder how many acts will follow her shining example.

absolutely deadful show so far

Pappy pop music

Ballet? Some skinny bint is being tossed around the stage like a bg of spuds. So as part of a programme to honour the memory of Diana to the masses, the boys now inflict this upon us. Poor choice. It's turning into a success like Edwards It's a Royal Knock Out.

Saw Black Eyed Peas last year at the NIA and thought how fantastic Fergie was - her voice was amazing and most definitely live - why would she want to mime today

Wish Simon le Bon had mimed though, I think his voice is terrible, he's never been able to sing live - remember the Millennium party on tv ...

WHen the first "song" started, the sound was spot on. As soon as she started "singing" the sound got crap. Get to the chorus again, the sound improved. Definitely miming at the chorus at least.

As for the tickets, if it weren't for so many being given away in compos etc, I doubt if there even would have been anywhere near as "many" as there are there. Probably more security staff than paying customers. Lets face it, who's going to pay good money to listen to that line-up?

Don't you mean "bawled"?

Totally harsh, IMO.

For live, I think it's quite impressive.
The Joseph thing with Donny Osmond, Jason Donovan and the other geezer was class, even though I can't stand the song.
Me and the missus have discussed how good the actual quality of the singing is.

I commented a couple of weeks ago about how good the sound is at Wembley.

As for the stadium being the best in the world, no way.

It lacks something, although I can't put my finger on it.

The Millenium stadium is better.

And what the hell has David Beckham got to do with anything

Oh, it looks half empty because I think it's limited to 63,000.

The George Michael concert looked a lot worse, with most people standing.

Although I suspect it didn't sell out, seeing as we were given free upgrades from standing on the pitch to pukka seats.

She definately wasnt miming the verse, I dont think she was actually miming the chorus but the backing trac vcal was def cranked up to help her out.

Think its a pretty good line up for what it is and I have quite enjoyed all the performances.
