I'd say that everything that is RIGHT about NSC is encapsulated here. Since it seems about the only place free of unrestrained and maudlin worship of the Sainted Diana.

I'm not saying she didn't do good things (helped by the time and money to do so, admittedly) and I've never say that it was right for anyone to meet such an untimely end either. But why does this concert have to take up HOURS and sodding HOURS of prime time viewing on BBC1 - especially since the far more atmospheric coverage of Glastonbury didn't?

Yup

When the BBC had the vote thingy for the 'Greastest Briton' or whatever it was called, I remember reading probably the most accurate statement ever committed to print.

"Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters and they'll re-write the works of Shakespeare. Give 58 million Brits access to a telephone and they'll attempt to canonise Princess Diana"

News of the World readers voted 85% that she had been murdered, one week later 75% said she was still alive.

Haha!!! Tom Jones doing I bet you look good on the dance floor!!!! Sweet!!!

Is there any Group/Singer that hasnt done a cover of this?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

BBC coverage is shamefully snivelling, mainly from that woman with Jamie Theakston.

"So, Mr xxxx, did you watch Harry turn from a boy into a man?"

FFS

 

[Marshy]

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I know it was a while back, but we did a much better version of 'Jesus Christ, Superstar' in the early 70's when Malcom McDonald of Bournemouth was the target....Super Mac, super queer.....

 

[clippedgull]

Oh baby. It doesn't get better than ROD doing SAILING!!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Oh baby. It doesn't get better than ROD doing SAILING!!

Yuk, cant stand him - Would rather have been in the car.... what?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Me too. The early part was fantastically funny to see some of the shite on offer. Then the last couple of hours have actually been really good.

On the whole it has been very good, its something different - Looking forward to Elton closing

I hope he doesn't sing Candle in the Wind tho.


that was a 'special moment' that should be kept as a one off.

He said he would never sing that version again.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

You're usually a man I agree with, but can't stand Rod? Get out of here!

For some reason I cant look at him without thinking of him and Peter Stringfellow stand next to each other in G strings.

I think I have issues.
