[Uglybob]

was it me or did i hear really loud booing of emma bunton

[the_dr]

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!<P>First, Nemoan - she was crap, but shes not a minger. She warmed up the crowd for 1/2 hour before * and Tiddler came on. She kept having to be told what was happening by this woman with a clipboard. Not a very good presenter. The only song that wasn't broadcast before the show was an album track from Sugababes.<P>Then Theakston came on and introduced Westwood  :). He was on form, but he could have been funnier - he introduced Outkast. Very very camp. The guys were wearing pink  :) A question to anybody who listened to it on Radio 1 - did you hear Outkast saying 'who are the coolest motherf__kers?' several times before and inbetween their songs? I had my walkman with me to check - but I missed it. The whole thing was on a 1 second delay as far as I could hear.<P>Sugababes and Mis-teeq were crap - Mis-teeq got the crowd moving and the ragga chatting was quite impressive. Sugababes could sing, they did 3 songs altogether (2 were broadcast) - Overload was the best.<P>Emma Bunton... Tiddler Theakston introduced her 'do you want to hear emma bunton live on stage'. I could hear a lot of 'no's, some boos (not in the garage sense) and quite a few hecklers saying 'no - shes crap'. And they were right. She was absolutely crap, nobody danced, applauded or enjoyed it and I lay down thinking 'Why am I here?'. The 80s song she covered was **** , everything about it was **** .<P>Muse - wow! I've been listened to their album non-stop for a month now and as soon as they played the guitar riff on the first song everybody went mental. There were a lot of Muse fans there, 'moshers', and although I'm not a 'mosher' I am now a huge Muse fan. Wow. True rock'n'roll, especially when he was playing the guitar on the floor at the end of the 2 songs. Very, very cool.<P>Which brings me to Wyclef, the headline act. I didn't go there to see Mr Jean, I went to see Muse, but he was bloody fantastic. He definately stol the show - he did about 15 mins on Radio 1, then about 45 mins after it had gone on air. He was fantastic - and, as he album says, Ecletic. I'm a big fan of the Fugees, but I haven't been impressed by his solo stuff - but this act impressed me.<P>He can freestyle, he can sing, he can 'speed rap', he can play the guitar. His DJ played some of the coolest beats - ever. Redman, Dr Dre, Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, some classic reggae beats, Mystikal, Fugees are some of the tunes he played - plus that 'Pack it up, pack it in' tune (Who did that one? I should know that...). He got the crowd jumping. At one point, he climbed up the frame around the huge TV screen. He used a fair bit of strong language, but at least he waited until it was off-air, unlike Outkast. He attacked racism, the KKK and those 'bling bling hip-hop groups'.<P>On stage he was like some kind of musical Jesus - a true star that overshadowed Muse.<P>Lozza: There were loads of grunges there, I probably saw you  :) I was on the right hand side of the stage in a white t-shirt and black trousers looking VERY sunburnt  :)<P>the_sunburnt_dr

[Clare]

nice day then?

[Stickyspanner]

Now - for someone who self admittedly says hes a tech head like myself, and spends more time in front of a computer screen than the whole cast of hackers and war games put together - how can he be heavily sunburnt?  :)

[the_dr]

Non-exposure to sunlight for a LONG time, Sticky. I shall be browner than brown tomorrow, and then whiter than white on Tuesday when it fades. For now I just have to remember not to itch it.<P>Clare: Yes  :) Could you tell?<P>the_dr

[Cornishtw@]

>That'll be 'Jump Around' by 'House of Pain' then. Wyclifs post air saturnalia sounded pretty damn good from what you say, you can't beat a bit of Jackson 5 in the blistering hue of the summer solstice.<br>Can't say I particularly like Muse though.
