Was the Opera singer miming to Abide with me on saturday

[El Sid]

would rather have a tenor singing , especially for SBTS.

Could do a job.....

 

[Rogero]

or is there a hell of a time gap between sound and screen.

She clearly didn't open her mouth for the first few words.

Someone is attention seeking.

 

[The Oldman]

Donna -Marie in her words was "honoured" to take a part in the tribute. You can see on the video that at the end of "Abide with me" Donna was very emotional.

 

[Gwylan]

Someone is attention seeking.

No, someone doesn't know the laws of physics. We'd see her open her mouth as she actually does it, but the speed of sound is 340m per second. Assuming a point about about 100m away, there'd be a third of second gap between her singing on the screen and hearing the words

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Sussex by the Sea was written to be performed on the march by squaddies of the Royal Sussex Regiment.

Having it shrieked out by some operatic soprano suffering from excessive vibrato represents a kind of horrific vandalism. About as culturally appropriate as having Nessun Dorma performed live on the pitch by Chas and Dave.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Good Lord is this thread really necessary under the circumstances ?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Nessun Dorma performed live on the pitch by Chas and Dave.

Now that would be simply magnificent. I'm a huge fan of theirs.

We need to lose some games so people can go back to moaning about the team, some stupid comments on here.
