Where's Geraldine McQueen :(

Am I the only one who thinks that music generations in the future will think how the hell did Rule The World not get to #1 ahead of Bleeding Love (like when Robson & Jerome stopped Wonderwall in the 1990s or Ultravox - Vienna was stopped by Joe Dolce's Shaddup Your Face in the 1980s).

Nah. I think they'll think "How did it not make number 1?" but then get reminded that it was stopped in fact by the far superior (imo of course :P) 'Bleeding Love' and then they'll think "Ohhh yeah" LOL.

As much as I love RTW, nope BL deserved every week and more. ^_^

uh, no...:lol:

 

because Bleeding Love was bleeding amazing and a deserved worldwide #1

 

I prefer Rule The World but its not like it was beaten by some piece of novelty $hite...

Please sing the frog song :o

Do you think it's about time the BBC brought back TOTP. They need to put some sort of music show on TV. I know there's jools holland but that's not on every week.

The fact that Simon Cowell said he would not put The Beatles through to the Final stages of the X-Factor tells you everything you need to know about music and that pathetic excuse for a music TV show today.

 

Macca = the greatest melodic songwriter of the 20th Century bar none, even if his voice is nowadays shot compared to his 1960s & 1970s heyday.

Arise Sir Gary. :rolleyes:

Simon Cowell isn't interested in ambitious artists. He is only interested in the wannabes who will basically do anything to get famous and who can sing unchained melody.

Well overall that was one of the best gigs I've seen in recent years. Diana gig anyone?

 

Only didn't enjoy Muse, Paolo and Dizzee.

 

Expect this to be an annual event now! :D

 

 

I hope if they do, we have some more brilliant duets :wub: I agree with Ryan but the only acts i didn't like were Paolo, Shirley & Dizzee.

I liked nearly all of it, apart from Dizzee interrupting Shirley which was awful

 

even Chasing Cars seemed alright to me :lol:

 

the standouts for me were Take That and Lily, and Leona doing Run :wub:

I loved all the acts apart from Dizzee, Paolo and Cheryl.

 

Run :wub: Chasing Cars :wub: and Lily Allen with Take That are my highlights of the show.

 

I really wanted Take That and Robbie to perform together on a track, but they didn't :snif:

My highlights of a 'brilliant night':

 

Shirley Bassey

Lily Allen & Take That doing WHK / Shine

Take That - RTW - frigging brilliant

 

But ... my hat goes off to:

 

Sir Paul McCartney ... he did some of my Beatles Faves - Back in the USSR ... but especially 'Get Back' - which he rocked the Brits in 2008! But his Hey Jude with the early backing vocals of Take That ... just brilliant!

 

What a freaking fantastic night of music! Hats off to everyone involved.

Expect this to be an annual event now! :D

 

Only if Barlow arranges it again ... he seems to know what would tick 'most' of the buttons. Having said that ... no! I'd rather he concentrated on Take That for a few years yet!

My favourite performances were Dame Shirley Bassey, Annie Lennox, Take That singing RTW and Sir Paul McCartney. :D

I was massively surprised that the BBC (or was it Gary Barlow) managed to put on such a fantastic show! Definitely one of the best music shows I've seen on TV in a long time!

I had my reservations about tonight ... but on the whole ... it was .... pretty darned good!

 

Plus ... we should find out tomorrow how much this enterprise raised towards the total ... between 9 and 9.30 pm. Ticket sales alone raised well over half a million but hopefully with pledges during the televised event it may make more than a million.
