    The 2 best jokes of the night were...

    1. Charles on about the weather
    2. Cheryl Cole

    Agreed, she looked totally out of place at an event like this alongside music legends.

    Seriously, my gf had her head in her hands whilst I laughed uncontrollably at her vocal "attempt"....

    Possibly the worst I've ever heard by a so-called chart-topping star.

    Got to be "Cheryl" trying to sing that brilliant country song loved by millions normally,but now have her version of "need you now" stuck in their heads:o Gary Barlow WTF were you thinking?:eek:

    It's a fantastic song (when sung properly) but it was a strange choice for the two of them. Especially when at least one of them cannot sing.

    Grace Jones, Will.i.am and Stevie Wonder (even though he's one of my all time favourites) thinking it was the Queen's birthday. :o

    Her birthday was moved this year to coincide with the Jubilee.

    Both voices were trash - they remain icons however.

    Do you think that's because of their age then? I thought Elton sounded like he head something stuck in his mouth but I didn't think Paul's voice was as bad - no he's not the singer he was but wouldn't we all be like that at that age? I'm sort of semi-jubilant that we've celebrated the different decades but the person I missed tonight, well two actually, were Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow but fair play to Gary and his back up team for pulling this off. Overall, a great display.

    I think with a lot of these guys it is an age thing, obviously Tom Jones for example still has am absolute wonderful voice that is on the button & purred through his set tonight with absolute ease...

    Rod Stewart still has a pretty good Live voice.... Manilow not so much....

    Hey, they're old now... that's life I suppose

    "Would you like to be on the Jubilee concert Cheryl?"
    " Ohhh ahh Gary, I don't knooo, Ya knooo I can't sing live"
    "It'll be fine Cheryl... I'll duet with you and cover you up".
    "Naaa pet.. Ya know I can only mime".
    "Tell you what, I'll put you beside the Queen at the end and Simon will hate it"
    "OK Gary. Where do ahhh sign?":D

    Cheryl Cole practically poking her head in at the side of the screen and shouting 'HI MUM' while stood next to the Queen at the end. I just got images of a string of Military Wives and Kenyan kids being left in the same state she left that toilet-attendant in as she barged her way to prime position. "Bagsy standin' next ta' Queen!!!! Ah'll knock ya oot sparko if ya get in me way, lyk!"

    Doubt that he was thinking; the BBC televised this and wanted to shoehorn in their "stars" from their very successful and expensive The Voice :rolleyes:. Tom Jones, William (no, I cant be a*sed with unnecessary punctuation) and Biffa. Only the Irish bloke dodged it.

    I thought Tom was fantastic, as was Shirley, but then I'm biased because I'm Welsh. I was disappointed with Elton and Cliff, both seemed to have new dentures for the occassion. McCartney was as i expected, no surprise there. Cheryl Cole mangled and strangled a beautiful song.

    I just had to go and have a rummage on You Tube to check it was as bad as I originally thought... I needn't have bothered.


    I heard the first notes on the piano and recognised it and suddenly thought Oh No! they are going to ruin this song, and one of them duly obliged....:cry:

    She was pitifully bad. Barlow was far more tuneful and oversang her continually.

    LOL

    For me the funniest bits.

    Lenny Henry's gag about 3 black people sinking like the Titanic.
    Biffa's attempt to sing.
    Rob Brydons gag about "Queens" dying on its backside.
    Rolf finishing his song over Lenny.
    Biffa making sure she got her ugly mug in the shots by standing by the queen.

    Paul McCartney's weird little po faced mouth at the end of the show. And his continual need to dye his hair and smooth out his face. Why do men do this? Keith Richards has a terribly lined face and looks 100 but he has character and has co written some of the best songs ever.
    I dont think it matters that EJ can sing so much. He isnt a singer so much as a singer/songwriter.

    I took a break while Cliff was on - I didn't miss much then?

    I took a break through the whole thing.

    Doubt I missed anything.

    For me...

    Cheryl trying to sing and failing
    Gary sucking up to the queen, desperate for the knighthood eh
    Most of Charles speech but for a good reason it was lovely and the way the crowd cheered for Phillip made me feel proud
    The comedians falling flat, special note to Lenny for that
    The Mexican wave fail. It looked quite good until the cameras moved off it
    Grace jones-bizarre

    There wasn't much that was intentionally funny. It was cringeworthy from start to finish.

    Have just read on the Telegraph that the queen might not have been able to hear half of it as she's thought to have been wearing discreet ear plugs as she apparently did for the Golden jubilee concert. I love that. :D:D

    They weren't that discreet, we noticed that she had them in when she arrived.
