Is there any substance to these hints/allegations of her being a Charlie fiend? I don’t read newspapers and they haven’t mentioned anything on Heart FM
Well done Wozza, I can tell you are down with the kids
I bet your wireless is permanently tuned in to Heart FM
Isn't Heart FM for 30-somethings? Not really for the kids.

They play her most of the day, whilst I’m listening anyway.
I'm sure. But I was accused of being "down with the kids" like we were discussing *checks notes* Post Malone or Dave or Digga D or something.

A typical playlist includes Jess Glynne, Rita Ora, Taylor Swift and Pink.
Are you thinking of Radio Sussex?
All those artists are pushing 30, except Pink who is pushing 40, FFS.
Are you thinking 'kids' are in their 20s and 30s?!

We’ve got kids, with their mates, they like some of those artists. When their gigs are aired eg BBC last year the crowd is full of kids and young adults.
Shirley they know what they like, rather than grown ups on NSC telling them they don’t.
I'm sure they do. It's mainstream pop.
The point remains that Heart is aimed at 30-somethings not kids.
Edit: In fact...
"Heart's core audience are aged between 25-44. Heart listeners have a spark about them; despite juggling their various roles as wives, husbands, parents and professionals, they still make time for themselves and are determined to squeeze the most out of life."

Worst holiday ever if you had that playing in the background.
PS never seen that advert before. I never watch the commercials.

Well... just to make up for all this, I cashed in some Hilton Hotel points to see her at a small and intimate gig at a top London hotel. A private gig for about 300 people, organised by Hilton.
I didn't feel well on the day so called Hilton and cancelled. I got all my points back and she didn't see me.

Kids compaired to people you are calling " Gramps "
Personally I thought Heart FM is for people that like hearing the same songs 8 times a day everyday.

Pop charts are like school grades these days, everyone gets seven number ones for releasing an EP used on a Morrisons ad. Entire months go past where the only artist in the top 100 is bloody Ed Sheervolume

I'm over the halfway point of my 50s, can't stand "No music variety Heart FM" and Radio 2 is my station of choice (except when Slime is in between 12 and 2 when it's Absolute Radio).
I have heard quite a few of her songs and I think she pretty good. No idea if she's got a problem with C.

I had no idea who she is when I read the Isle Of Wight Festival news. I then listened to a bit of her goat like singing and wish I still didn't know.

AKA jestermen “”Ultras” they can listen to, and sing along with, a mournful dirge for 90 minutes without coming up for air.

I am an old fart, make no bones about it, but I do know Jess Glynne and like her a lot. Especially liked "Not Letting Go" with Tinie Tempah was superb.
Always comes across well in interviews, and hopefully she is just being more careful with her voice than some have done down the years, causing irreparable damage. I remember Jon Bon Jovi talking about tours where for weeks he couldn't get close to some of the high notes in their songs, but they would just carry on anyway. He could probably get away with throwing the mic towards the audience to all sing the lines "Whoa-hoa LIVING on a prayer" but Jess can't really do that so much.
Hope it's nothing more than some serious fatigue, and the late notice in the IoW was merely her exhaustion reaching a tipping point where she suddenly called time of "pushing through, one more time."

She is a phenomenon of our time, make no mistake about it, an artist who is loved as much by the teens as by the forty somethings who are young at heart.
