BuzzJack Music Forum _ Television _ One Love Manchester
Posted by: burbe 30th May 2017, 09:28 PM
As has been discussed elsewhere, the planned benefit concert following the Manchester Attacks is taking place this Sunday and the BBC have announced it will be broadcast live on BBC One from 6pm.
More
News just in: @ArianaGrande will play a tribute concert in Manchester on Sunday 4th June. One Love Manchester. Sunday. 6pm. @BBCOne.
I'm really glad it's getting a high profile TV broadcast! It deserves maximum exposure. I'm glad to see so many high profile names coming together for this at such short notice as well.
Posted by: burbe 3rd June 2017, 01:42 PM
Current confirmed line-up:
Ariana Grande
Miley Cyrus
Pharrell Williams
Usher
Katy Perry
Niall Horan
Justin Bieber
Coldplay
Take That
Black Eyed Peas
Little Mix
Robbie Williams
There's bound to be one or two surprised additions as well! It will be interesting to see what songs they choose as well because they need to get the tone of defiance yet not disrespectful right.
The BBC One programme will be presented by Sara Cox and Ore Oduba.

Can't remember if I posted it elsewhere but this has been predicted to be watched by 1B.
Posted by: Suedehead2 4th June 2017, 12:50 PM
There is little or no chance that anywhere near one billion people will watch it live. Even the total number of people who see more than a short snippet on the news will probably fall some way short of that figure. How many people do you think will watch it in India and China? That's already roughly 2.5 billion people who won't be watching.
Posted by: Klaus 4th June 2017, 01:15 PM
I do think this is being waay over-predicted for viewing figures.

Marcus Mumford confirmed to be opening the show

Performance order apparently!
Posted by: SKOB 4th June 2017, 04:53 PM
Wish TT and Robbie perform together
Black Eyed Peas should be banned from these but oh well
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 04:55 PM
Why?
Posted by: Jonjo 4th June 2017, 05:04 PM
Argh. It started??
On the way home from work now! Who have I missed? 
Edit: oh, It does indeed start at 7! The opening post is wrong. Phew. Lol
Posted by: SKOB 4th June 2017, 05:11 PM
They're awful
I know they have a song called Where Is the Love and that alone guarantees their place in all these events until the world ends
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 06:02 PM
Watching here if anyone wants to join:

Shame they didn't think of you before arranging the concert
really not important and Where is the Love is one of THE most significant songs for this type of event.I'm watching, excited although I wish this was happening under better circumstances.
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 06:04 PM
What song was he singing?
Posted by: HausofSZA 4th June 2017, 06:04 PM
I know they have a song called Where Is the Love and that alone guarantees their place in all these events until the world ends
For a concert and a night celebrating music and one love for all, can we not have these sorts of comments? Just for ONE night. Can we just appreciate the fact they're there doing a wonderful thing for a wonderful cause and leave it as that.
Completely defeats the entire purpose of love for all, love for music.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 06:05 PM
Omg Shine, tune
(also Gary Barlow is daddy sorry not sorry)
Posted by: Klaus 4th June 2017, 06:06 PM
Timshel! From their first album.
Posted by: HarryApa 4th June 2017, 06:07 PM
Here for this! Timshel was a an beautiful song to start with
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 06:08 PM
Let It Shine <3 Actually so incredibly excited for One Last Time - the performance will go down in history
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 06:09 PM
I hate nout more than Gary Barlow
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 06:11 PM
I know it's supposed to be love and positivity but the state of Gary Barlow 😂
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 06:15 PM
Shocked that they've planned all this in a week
Posted by: Klaus 4th June 2017, 06:18 PM
It would have been nice for Robbie to rejoin Take That for a special performance!
Posted by: Mack 4th June 2017, 06:21 PM
It doesn't matter whom is performing, the fact everyone who is performing for this wonderful cause, I have the utmost respect. What the world needs after what happened in Manchester and last night in London.
Posted by: Brett-Butler 4th June 2017, 06:21 PM
Robbie's vocals sound off.
Posted by: Klaus 4th June 2017, 06:26 PM
It should be able to be a given but, seeing the concert in action, I think this is the greatest act of defiance. Especially after last night's sad events, all those people and the performers are not scared to continue doing what they love as well as respecting and remembering all the victims.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 06:29 PM
I know she'll have had a lot of help from professional organisers like Live Nation, her manager and record label etc but it's pretty amazing that a 23 year old pulled this off in less than a fortnight. Circumstances made people very willing and motivated to help sure but Ariana has pulled together something pretty special here.
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 06:30 PM
Why do we have a pointless commentary? I'd rather just watch the concert and hear all the joy.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 06:31 PM
On Youtube it just cut to Bono talking between Robbie and Pharrell 
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 06:36 PM
I tuned in part way through Pharrell. Really enjoying Happy with Miley on it!!
Posted by: Cameron 4th June 2017, 06:36 PM
Miley legit saving Pharell's set
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 06:37 PM
I can't possibly explain how nice it is to see Miley looking happy again <3
Also forgot how good Pharrell was live - can't wait for new music from him!
Posted by: Iz~ 4th June 2017, 06:37 PM
Happy is sounding incredible tonight. As is everything else, I'm really pleased to see such a positive attitude there.
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 06:38 PM
Miley 
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 06:41 PM
Miley doesn't get enough credit, she's such a wonderful person
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 4th June 2017, 06:43 PM
Is this a new Miley song?
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 06:43 PM
Yeah rumoured to be the 2nd single from this era!
Posted by: BridgeCow 4th June 2017, 06:44 PM
Miley was great!!
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 06:45 PM
I've never seen Miley live before but that was really very enjoyable!! Fantastic song choice and a lovely intro to it as well.
Was it just Robbie and Take That I missed?
Posted by: jay727 4th June 2017, 06:45 PM
Take That are playing a gig tonight in Birmingham, they flew into manchester especially to perform as they're local boys
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 06:45 PM
Slow Hands will be top 20 then.
Miley was incredible <3
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 06:46 PM
So glad they are mixing it up with both uplifting and empowering songs
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 06:47 PM
Shit I thought it started at 8 pm, I just saw the end of Miley's set and now Niall is on. What acts have been on before?
Posted by: Noahspike 4th June 2017, 06:47 PM
We've come too far to give up who we are / so let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
Who knew the pre-chorus to 'Get Lucky' was so on point!

Marcus Mumford
Take That
Robbie Williams
Pharrell
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 06:51 PM
Take That
Robbie Williams
Pharrell
Thanks I'm glad I didn't miss my faves !
Niall is
Never realized he was such a great performer.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 4th June 2017, 06:51 PM
Everyone has been utterly stunning so far, been teary the whole concert 😪
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 06:52 PM
Cheers mdh!
I had to google who Marcus Mumford was! For some reason it didn't click he'd be from Mumford & Sons - duh!
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 06:55 PM
Niall was fantastic
Posted by: djquavdemon 4th June 2017, 06:56 PM
absolutely love the performance this evening!
missed TT and Robbie (shame on me yeah), Pharrell and Miley worked out together as a team, like wow!
can't wait for Miley's new song, it's so adorable!
Niall tho <3

Aaand I'm crying
Posted by: BridgeCow 4th June 2017, 06:59 PM
Be Alright is such a tune! It gives me Mura Masa vibes, and it fits so well with the theme of the show, it's both uplifting and has a good message, it's really great
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:00 PM
+1
I love the hoodies!
HOLD THE PHONE! That laugh there in the backing track sounded like the Wannabe laugh [/oldgit]
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 07:02 PM
It'd be lovely if all these performed songs could hit top 40 this week.
Posted by: djquavdemon 4th June 2017, 07:02 PM
woah Ari already 
incredible performance of Be Alright tbh.
Oh, another lovely one 
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:04 PM
I was expecting Ariana to close the show tbh. Reckon she'll be on again?
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 07:04 PM
They need to turn the backing track down on this. 
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 07:04 PM
Certainly! Reckon there'll be a big finale with One Last Time.
Posted by: Iz~ 4th June 2017, 07:05 PM
Ariana is such a class act, I'm so pleased to hear Break Free, it's a real defiant anthem now.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:06 PM
After it recharting in the wake of the attack, it's got to be the finale. I agree with you.
Is there a global recording artist she hasn't managed to get involved? Stevie Wonder?! Amazing
Posted by: ManicKangaroo 4th June 2017, 07:07 PM
There is a leaked setlist
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DBfuvuBXsAItfif.jpg
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:08 PM
What an EXCELLENT choice by Little Mix! This reminds me I really need to try and get tickets some time to go see them.
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 07:08 PM
I'll be surprised if One Last Time isn't the closing song!
Good song choice from Little Mix!
Posted by: Sabrina. 4th June 2017, 07:09 PM
Yeah she's on a few more times after this

Is it the confirmed setlist? Niall sang two songs! And I hoped Katy would sing more than just "Part of me"!
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 07:12 PM
ARIANA CLOSING EITH OVER THE RAINBOW !!!!!!!
I'm acc tearing up at the mere thought!
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 4th June 2017, 07:13 PM
Ariana was incredible
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 4th June 2017, 07:15 PM
(minor note but can we use spoiler tags please when referring to the leaked setlist? I'd rather not know in advance!! Thanks 
)
I f***ing love Ariana, so incredibly and effortlessly classy
Posted by: Sabrina. 4th June 2017, 07:15 PM
Give or take a few songs. The rest seems pretty accurate
I think Usher is meant to perform too
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 07:16 PM
Where Is The Love *.*
Posted by: Sabrina. 4th June 2017, 07:16 PM
Where is the love?
Perfect song
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 07:17 PM
ffs this is legit like my least fave song of all time but it is fitting for the event!
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:18 PM
Shame Fergie couldn't join them for this.
This really is the perfect song for the occasion and Ariana sounds really good on it!
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:23 PM
I didn't imagine it or Will.I.Am did just talk about showing appreciation for the "Police force here in London" after the Manchester police?
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 07:24 PM
I thought I heard that too
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 07:24 PM
Who is this lady on the piano?
Posted by: ManicKangaroo 4th June 2017, 07:25 PM
Imogen Heap
Posted by: Brett-Butler 4th June 2017, 07:25 PM
Imogen Heap. Most famous for being sampled by Jason Derulo on "What you Say".
Posted by: Suedehead2 4th June 2017, 07:25 PM
Is there a global recording artist she hasn't managed to get involved? Stevie Wonder?! Amazing
I haven't looked at the set list so I can speculate about Paul McCartney coming on to do Hey Jude
Posted by: djquavdemon 4th June 2017, 07:26 PM
THIS
at least they performed it in the perfect way, Ari can't catch JT's tembre but she tried her best! awesome!
Posted by: Noahspike 4th June 2017, 07:26 PM
Yep, and I swear at the very start he said "what's up London"!
Maybe he was so busy searching for the love he forgot where he was oops.
Omg Imogen Heap <333

Amazing to hear Hide and Seek here though
Oh dear at that place confusion from the BEPs 
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 07:28 PM
Stunning song but it's taken me most of it to get used to her not having the effects on her voice that are present on the studio version
Posted by: BridgeCow 4th June 2017, 07:28 PM
This is a great song but the internet has ruined it for me...
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 07:28 PM
!!
-x-
That performance from Imogen was incredible!
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:32 PM
I enjoyed Imogen Heap.
And this performance of My Everything is making me cry.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 07:34 PM
What an angel of a woman, I love her! That choir perf was so cute <3
Posted by: Dusty Muffin 4th June 2017, 07:37 PM
Not sure I completely agree with you in terms of her whole career, I still think some of her videos, like those of Little Mix have been too sexualised considering the young age of much of her fanbase. However she has shown such great determination in doing this benefit concert.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 4th June 2017, 07:39 PM
The choir performance <3
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:40 PM
Who is this????
When that wee lass in the front row started to cry I lost it.
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 07:40 PM
And this performance of My Everything is making me cry.
This she should release a version with the choir
Posted by: lotita 4th June 2017, 07:40 PM
Yeah snakey none of that
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:41 PM
I agree, it was such a lovely rendition of the track.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 07:42 PM
When that wee lass in the front row started to cry I lost it.

Mac and Ari are so cute together <3
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:43 PM
Miley's "I'm on this side". I DIED.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:43 PM
It clicked when she kissed him at the end!!
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 07:45 PM
Omg how is Ari so adorable at everything, this perf is incred too <3 You can feel the bond between them.
Posted by: Dusty Muffin 4th June 2017, 07:48 PM
Yeah maybe there are better places to discuss that than on this thread atm, perhaps it came across as a little tone deaf at this time. Despite my minor criticism, I still like Ariana's music for the record, she is a great singer and Break Free is a great dance tune, glad to hear she performed that!
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:54 PM
That was a lovely performance with Miley and the interlude between it and Side To Side, I cried. I love that she dedicated that to Olivia who would 'want her to perform the hits'
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 07:55 PM
Oh no, not Katy Perry 
Posted by: OutstandingMixer 4th June 2017, 07:57 PM
Ari is such a sweetheart - I think I'm in love with her!
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 07:59 PM
Not sure how I feel about this as an acoustic. The song choice is spot on as the lyrics are really fitting. I wonder if the hi tempo original would have been better. 
Though as I type that, the sing along is really wonderful.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 08:02 PM
The thing I'm loving about this is the hidden poignancy in so many of the songs lyrics, Part Of Me and Roar are both so fitting
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 08:04 PM
Words can't express how much love I have for Katy Perry lately
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:05 PM
Roar was just so perfect. That was the performance we all needed I think. It's a great song and it was performed perfectly.
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 08:06 PM
Great choices of songs and its great to see they aren't just performing current hits
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 08:06 PM
Oh god why did they invite Justin...
Posted by: Envoirment 4th June 2017, 08:06 PM
Almost 700,000 people watching on youtube live That's the most I've seen for a youtube stream. Show has been brilliant so far!
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 08:07 PM
Beautiful
Posted by: ManicKangaroo 4th June 2017, 08:07 PM
Is Justin feeling the cold?
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:08 PM
Love Yourself <3
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 08:09 PM
Beiber sounds awful.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:10 PM
I had no idea Justin could play an acoustic guitar! Pleasantly surprised and finding his set rather enjoyable.
It's 16 here (I'm less than half a mile away from the stadium in Salford Quays) so rather warm for this part of the world at 9pm!
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 08:11 PM
That's the most I've seen for a youtube stream. Show has been brilliant so far!And 500k watching the Facebook live !
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 08:14 PM
Did Justin nearly say 'Put your paws up'?
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 4th June 2017, 08:14 PM
Because he's one of the biggest stars in the world, a draw for viewers, and more viewers should mean more donations...
Bieber sounded great, best two choices to perform I think
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 4th June 2017, 08:16 PM
Is Katy Perry enjoying her ice cream?
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 08:17 PM
Haha that shot of Katy eating her ice cream backstage and singing along Ariana was so funny
Posted by: Jonjo 4th June 2017, 08:18 PM
Absolutely LOVING the show so far. Everything is just poignant and Ariana, I know it's been said numerous times already, is a literal angel. I am blown away by her compassion for the whole thing and the way she's handled everything. WHAT A STAR.
Posted by: IrnBruzee 4th June 2017, 08:18 PM
Loved that clip of the policemen skipping in circles with a few of the crowd Bieber was really good also!
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 08:21 PM

Bieber was really good also!It was so bloody sweet!!
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:25 PM
WAIT WHAT
SURPRISE? What did I miss?
Posted by: Brett-Butler 4th June 2017, 08:25 PM
It reminds me just how old "Don't Look Back In Anger" is that they have to put the lyrics up on the big screen for the benefit of the younger fans that probably don't even know that song.
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:26 PM
This cover of Don't Look Back In Anger is so sweet <3
Posted by: BridgeCow 4th June 2017, 08:26 PM
SURPRISE? What did I miss?
They keep saying there's a 'special surprise' coming up, and I feel like it's gonna be all of them singing One Last Time together
Posted by: Jason 4th June 2017, 08:26 PM
Love this Oasis song.
Posted by: Rooney 4th June 2017, 08:26 PM
I did crack a smile earlier when more people were singing along to This Town rather than Angels
Posted by: Iz~ 4th June 2017, 08:27 PM
Don't Look Back In Anger is a huge song and perfect for the occasion, Coldplay are really doing it justice. <3
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 08:27 PM
Bieber sounded great, best two choices to perform I think
Agreed not a beiber fan but can't hate on him tonight he want bad the crowd loved him
Posted by: Chez Wombat 4th June 2017, 08:27 PM
my favourite band covering one of my favourite songs 
that was so perfect
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:27 PM
That would make musical history for sure.
Posted by: Suedehead2 4th June 2017, 08:28 PM
Are Coldplay going to do a full set of Manchester's Greatest Hits?
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 08:29 PM
Biggest selling song in the UK ever?! Beating Candle In The Breeze
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:30 PM
I mean I can't see that happening, but it'd be a big moment for music. Very poignant.
Posted by: Jade 4th June 2017, 08:31 PM
Two of my favourite songs of all-time here in 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Fix You' have really enjoyed all that I have caught of the concert, what a beautiful night.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:31 PM
Don't Look Back in Anger has really become synonymous with this attack and the response of GM to it. Was really fitting to have a massive sing-a-long moment to that
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:32 PM
As long as they include the choir too!
Posted by: Envoirment 4th June 2017, 08:32 PM
So glad they're doing "Fix You", most probably my favourite Coldplay song.
Posted by: RobBob 4th June 2017, 08:34 PM
God, I'm an absolute WRECK after Fix You.
Posted by: HarryApa 4th June 2017, 08:35 PM
I teared up during Fix you which I already thought was impactful and stunning but whole new level
Posted by: BridgeCow 4th June 2017, 08:37 PM
SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS YES AHHHH
Posted by: Hayzayy 4th June 2017, 08:38 PM
This last Coldplay song wasn't necessary... Ending with Viva la vida would have been perfect.
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:41 PM
SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS Reinforcing its place as one of my favourite songs ever.
Posted by: djquavdemon 4th June 2017, 08:41 PM
I assume SJLT is the song which Coldplay are famous for Ariana Grande's target audience. Just my opinion.
ASTONISHING performance of Viva La Vida, shed a lil tear

Coldplay are fantastic but 4 songs share the stage guys

Whats all this guitar stuff. Lowkey hoping for a Wall Of Glass performance from Liam Gallagher
Posted by: Euphorique 4th June 2017, 08:44 PM
Surprised they didnt do A Sky Full Of Stars
Posted by: Brett-Butler 4th June 2017, 08:44 PM
Well, they got 1/2 of Oasis.
Posted by: BridgeCow 4th June 2017, 08:44 PM

Just the other day Liam Gallagher was telling the MEN he had a schedule clash so was gutted he couldn't make it. Great for the city he's been able to appear after all
Posted by: Rooney 4th June 2017, 08:47 PM
Just needed to bring his brother! (although I do feel that would have overshadowed the event)
Posted by: Euphorique 4th June 2017, 08:48 PM
wow an 80,000 viewer drop in the last 5 minutes on youtube
Posted by: Jade 4th June 2017, 08:48 PM
Liam *.* ready for these Oasis hits.
Posted by: Chez Wombat 4th June 2017, 08:49 PM
Fantastic to see Liam made it, somewhat doubting Noel will be joining him but at least they got one of Oasis back.
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 08:50 PM
Viewers probably wondering who Liam Gallagher is.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:50 PM
Well you've got it!
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 4th June 2017, 08:50 PM
Wall Of Glass top 40 for sure this week then 
Amazing song.
Posted by: Euphorique 4th June 2017, 08:50 PM
Oh right, that might be it. Thought it would be peaking at the end that's why I was surprised.
Posted by: Suedehead2 4th June 2017, 08:51 PM
With all these t-shirts etc. proclaiming a love for MCR I was expecting My Chemical Romance
Posted by: Brett-Butler 4th June 2017, 08:51 PM
What needs to happen now is for Noel to come on and do Acquiesce together - that would make this perfect.
Posted by: Euphorique 4th June 2017, 08:51 PM
Hah I thought the same thing!
Posted by: Jade 4th June 2017, 08:55 PM
OMG my favourite Oasis song
Posted by: Iz~ 4th June 2017, 08:55 PM
This guitar stuff <3 Great performances from Liam. And Live Forever now!
Posted by: Iz~ 4th June 2017, 08:56 PM
This has crossed my mind more than one time tonight. I would love Gerard Way to be part of this.
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 08:56 PM
Hopefully BBC don't cut it off looks like its gonna overrun
Posted by: Chez Wombat 4th June 2017, 08:57 PM
Live Forever such an amazing choice
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 08:57 PM
Is she going to do One Last Time then?
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:58 PM
Not surprised, Oasis doesn't really have much of an overlapping international audience with Ariana Grande. Perfect appearance for a benefit gig in Manchester though, the one city in the world were there would be an overlapping audience! They are a legendary band here.
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 08:59 PM
It's due to finish in a minute. I'd be so angry if they cut it off before OLT
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 08:59 PM
Sounds like it!

I'm a complete wreck
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 09:02 PM
I was GONE by like the first line
Posted by: Jade 4th June 2017, 09:02 PM
Actual tears during that performance. </3 stunning.
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 09:02 PM
One Last Time was a bit anti-climatic. Could have been absolutely EPIC.
Posted by: Euphorique 4th June 2017, 09:03 PM
One Last Time <3 Always thought it was her best track
Posted by: *Tim 4th June 2017, 09:06 PM
I was GONE at that One Last Time performance? The struggle in everyones eyes, audience and Ariana, was just too much in combination with the lyrics. I feel like I need to go for a walk to get myself together after this
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 09:07 PM
Always surprises me how much of a powerful voice she has because she has so many dancy songs
Posted by: Chez Wombat 4th June 2017, 09:08 PM
Over the Rainbow was utterly fantastic, I often forget how great a singer she actually is <3
She's probably barely holding it together at this point after how much she's been through and all she's done tonight, give her a break!
Posted by: Iz~ 4th June 2017, 09:10 PM
One Last Time and Over The Rainbow, both stunning, fantastic conclusions to this celebration. I think I'm just going to tear up a bit whenever I hear the former in the future now.
Posted by: Brett-Butler 4th June 2017, 09:11 PM
So, I'm guessing someone's already started the petition to give Arianna Grande an honorary Damehood?
Posted by: Rob Spears 4th June 2017, 09:11 PM
She's probably barely holding it together at this point after how much she's been through and all she's done tonight, give her a break!
I wasn't slating her at all. I was probably just expecting more because of the significance of the song. Somewhere Over The Rainbow was stunning though.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 09:11 PM
I don't think I've ever cried at a performance so much as those two, for her to be able to perform a song with such meaning to any degree after what happened is incredible but she absolutely put it down, especially Over The Rainbow. No OTT theatrics or anything distracting from her gift, just an absolutely beautiful performance of a wonderful tribute to all the lives lost. She really is a true star <3
I think with OLT it hit her more because she sang it at the concert and in the past couple of weeks it's come to be so synonymous with the events it's probably always going to be hard for her to sing.
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 09:12 PM
Beautiful
Posted by: RobBob 4th June 2017, 09:13 PM
Jeez, I need to go get food and I am in absolutely FLOODS, good lord. That was all just... stunning.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 09:13 PM
What a closing. Just superb! It really was the most perfect ending to that show.
Huge respect to Ariana for pulling this off in a matter of days. What an incredible young woman.
Good Morning America are saying that $9m has been raised by this concert tonight.
Posted by: Jonjo 4th June 2017, 09:14 PM
I can't believe that event was put together in such a short amount of time. Absolutely incredible. Ending with 'One Last Time' and 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' was absolutely stellar!
What an incredible and inspiring young lady! <3 <3 <3
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 4th June 2017, 09:14 PM
What a stunning end to a fantastic show. Ariana is such a class act, I loved her already but tonight has made me absolutely adore her. One Last Time for #1 please
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 09:15 PM
Hope so!
Seen a lot of calls on twitter for her to be given the freedom of the city by the Mayor of Manchester.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 4th June 2017, 09:15 PM
The ending of one last time and somewhere over the rainbow was so so beautiful 💚❤️😪
Ariana really is just beyond incredible
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 09:17 PM
I'm listening to like Firework and Break Free and Roar and stuff to make me feel a bit less weepy That was utterly stunning.
Posted by: Suedehead2 4th June 2017, 09:18 PM
Don't say that. You'll get the conspiracy theorists going into overdrive.
Posted by: djquavdemon 4th June 2017, 09:20 PM
ok, caught myself crying at the end of the show, which isn't typical for me tbh
wanna give Ariana a hug, such a cutie with big heart. Thank you BJ guys too, let's share our emotions to the whole world
Posted by: 777666jason 4th June 2017, 09:20 PM
Enjoyed her music but not a massive fan but after that the upmost praise and respect to her fantastic to organise that is such short time
Posted by: lotita 4th June 2017, 09:23 PM
An absolutely beautiful ending to an absolutely amazing show, I still can't stop crying. Ariana is such an inspiration <3
Posted by: Mack 4th June 2017, 09:24 PM
Man I need chocolate after that concert. That was emotional, powerful.
Dame Ariana Grande please. This young woman is incredible.
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 09:25 PM
One Last Time into Somewhere Over The Rainbow was such a moment. Wow! Good on her for getting through it, you could see the pain as she sang it.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 09:26 PM
It's amazing what an inspirational person can do to motivate people to achieve amazing things in such a short space of time. None of this would have happened without her drive and determination to come back and perform for her fans.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 4th June 2017, 09:27 PM
That was utterly stunning.I'm listening to one last time on repeat atm and I am in complete floods of tears 😰 Think I'm also going to have to listen to something else to make me a bit less weepy as well
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 4th June 2017, 09:29 PM
Everything about this was just so beautiful
I came back from church and jumped into Bieber saying that God was in our midsts even in times of darkness. No truer words have been spoken.
Posted by: burbe 4th June 2017, 09:29 PM
Ariana is the best of humanity, what an outstanding ambassador for music, women and young people. She couldn't have handled this situation better, a true modern legend.
Posted by: Mack 4th June 2017, 09:29 PM
Usher must have pulled out? What? No confirmation seriously. Did he?
Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 09:32 PM
Ariana has the number 1 song and album!
Posted by: Rooney 4th June 2017, 09:36 PM
Or he got bumped for Liam Gallagher.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 09:37 PM
British Red Cross has said it has raised £2.35m during the gig. Not sure where GMA got $9m from unless the pound had a sudden rally today against the US dollar.
Posted by: Rooney 4th June 2017, 09:42 PM
What a brilliant show. I will admit that Somewhere Over The Rainbow really got me at the end.
Great seeing so many acts come out at such short notice and I'm sure there would have been many more too if people were not tied up in other commitments. What a brilliant way to say FU to terrorism.
Posted by: Silas 4th June 2017, 09:46 PM
Ariana's hoodie, and other #OneLoveManchester merch is available here: https://uk.onelovemanchestershop.com

Ariana is such a talented, beautiful and inspiring young woman!
Well done to everyone involved for organising such a fantastic tribute to the victims, survivors and families
Posted by: GTH 4th June 2017, 09:56 PM
Was such a fantastic concert. Everyone involved did a fantastic job tonight.
Got rather ready when Ariana was singing with the school choir.
Perfect two songs to close the show with. Ariana will have definitely earned a whole new legion of fans after tonight.
Posted by: jase. 4th June 2017, 09:58 PM
I can't heep enough praise on Ariana. The way she has acted since that awful night has been nothing short of amazing - from her dignified first response, to sorting this show in such a short time period, to visiting the kids in hospital, to coming out and performing the way she did tonight. What an absolute inspiration.
Posted by: Liаm 4th June 2017, 10:20 PM
Definitely buying a t-shirt
Posted by: Noahspike 4th June 2017, 10:25 PM
Wow, what an incredibly special night. I think I've been in a daze for the last hour or so. The sheer scale of this event, the huge support funds continuing to be raised, the tributes to the victims, the diverse range of acts supporting the cause, the songs, the loud singalongs, the unique moments of defiant unity amongst the crowd and performers... and all organised and achieved less than a fortnight after what was such a paralysing atrocity targeting innocent young people and aimed at destroying our freedoms.
It all hits especially close to home right now following the horrendous attacks in the capital just last night, which I personally feel very fortunate to have avoided as I was out enjoying myself in a central London bar too at the time. I thankfully didn't witness anything, but there was certainly a palpable fear on the streets as everyone's night out abruptly ended and we suddenly had to wonder how to get home safely. Ariana and everyone who helped make this concert happen should always be commended for it - it's the absolute strongest statement anyone could wish to make in the wake of these attacks. It feels so good for our...'collective soul' to assert and unreservedly celebrate our shared values right now, and on such a global platform. I'm imagining all the families and friends throughout the country watching at home on this Sunday evening after the bleakness of the last couple of weeks, and being comforted and uplifted and inspired. I thought the set-list was so thoughtful too - it had appropriately heartfelt moments honouring the tragic losses of life, catered to both the young crowd and their parents, honoured Manchester's resilience and musical heritage, while also focusing on the carefree escape music provides, and making Ariana and her fans the stars of the show. Just a giant triumph for all involved and something the people of Manchester will always hold dear I'm sure.
Also I can't stop watching https://twitter.com/MySmilerSide/status/871462786848743426.

Would have loved to have seen the One Love gig tonight but I couldn't go because I was in Portugal. Thought it'd be fine to find somewhere playing it live, but no, people asked for it to be turned off in favour of FOOTBALL. f***ing FOOTBALL. So annoyed, I'll have to wait a week to watch it on iPlayer 😩😩😩😩😩
I looked at about 10/20 bars in the centre of Albufeira and not ONE SINGLE f***ING BAR was playing it. They all had TVs, they all had access to be able to broadcast it, they just all chose to put football on 🙄😷💀
Posted by: SevenSeize 4th June 2017, 10:30 PM
awesome concert man, left a wreck by One Last Time and Fix You especially don't mind me
Ariana tho what a star, can't give her enough credit for this, all the artists involved really brought it tbh <3 (the Imogen and Liam appearances were a lovely surprise!)
Posted by: RobinJuanPersie 4th June 2017, 10:52 PM
What an amazing night and tribute that was. I'm not usually a fan of Coldplay but the atmosphere they produced during Don't Look Back In Anger might be the most amazing moment of my life. I'm so honoured I got to be there tonight. One Last Time was so emotional.

You can find it on youtube, the whole thing was streamed
Posted by: Jack 4th June 2017, 11:38 PM
Caught up and the highlights were Miley doing Inspired, One Last Time, Wings and Where Is The Love.
Amazing concert, Ariana is an angel and everyone was on point, no one had a bad performance - Miley's vocals seem to have improved LOADS - even Katy's have!
Got emotional at points, little bits like Miley and Ariana on stage together then Ariana saying ANYTHING. Absolutely beautiful.
Posted by: Euphorique 4th June 2017, 11:42 PM
One of the artists I was surprised not to see there was Jessie J, especially since they're friends and collabed. "Flashlight" would've been epic
Posted by: Kye 4th June 2017, 11:55 PM
Oh it was absolutely magical from start to end, so emotional right now
Ariana makes it so easy to stan for her, doesn't she? Absolute epitome of class, maturity and love tonight.. I am floored by her. Still can't believe that I was actually there, I came home and watched the highlights and it's so surreal.
The crowd was electric, sang along to every song at the top of their voices and braved the crowds in defiance.
I am so proud to be from Manchester <3
Posted by: bigwiglaf 5th June 2017, 12:43 AM
One quick query from someone on the left side of the pond here in the US....and a most minor of Robbie Williams fans here....as I've not seen the highlights or watched this as it was streamed, might anyone recall what songs Robbie Williams and Take That might have performed....I don't want this to sound crass or mean in any way....I was just curious....
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 5th June 2017, 12:49 AM
Take That sang Shine, Giants and Rule the World, while Robbie sang Strong (changing the lyrics to MAAAANchester we're strong) and Angels!
Posted by: bigwiglaf 5th June 2017, 12:58 AM
Many thanks for the info....after my previous post in this thread, I did see in the Robbie Williams forum the video for Angels already posted there.....very touching and moving, to be sure...

totally fallen for her tonight
what an absolute class act. beautiful tribute and she brought out so much pride in me. can't wish her more success x
Posted by: Klaus 5th June 2017, 01:39 AM
No words, the whole thing was absolute perfection. Cannot fault it in the slightest, making it all the more impressive that it was done in such a short amount of time. Basically watched the whole thing with non-stop tears in my eyes.
Ariana should be incredibly proud of herself. It is the entirely wrong circumstances, but she has created a legacy for herself.
(that policeman in the ring really touched me, so lovely to see it going viral )

All the live performances are available to stream on Spotify! (not sure of the other streaming sites)
