Mine were Lenny Henry saying "all the black people say yeah. That's 3 of us." and nobody laughed.

Elton John in his pink lurex coat and his rug on his head. He looked like matron of honour at the Corrie wedding of Rita & Dennis.

Prince Charles .... "Your Majesty - Mummy."

At the end the Queen having to stand right next to Cheryl Cole (complete with her tattoos) - I was hoping Biffa didn't take a dislike to her and try and deck her. AND Cheryl not knowing the words to the National Anthem.:D:D

Annie Lennox - what WAS that all about?

    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

    Tweedy's "singing"

    Grace and her hoola hooping

    Cliff not being able to talk or sing and sounding whilst attempting both like someone trying and failing to master their new false teeth

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

    I left the room when he came on and until he'd finished. Can't abide him.

    Cheryl's attempt at singing was beyond embarrassing.

    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:

    Grace Jones was fantastic :D

    Cheryl was funny for all the wrong reasons.

    Charles was intentionally funny, and unintentionally funnier than all the comedians.

    ...and to think of the number of British female singers who can actually sing and would have done the song justice e.g. Adele, Leona Lewis, Beverly Knight etc

    This is what i dont get she is an horrendous "singer" but she must have friends in high places to get that slot (and stood next to the queen) but really i dont think she has done herself(or Gary) any favour's tonight after that sham, people around the world watching(especially in the US where the song won loads of grammy's) must have being thinking WTF is this crap?:confused:

    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

    And yes Cheryl's singing was atrocious - so few of these performers can actually sing live. Grace Jones's outfit was hilarious. I did enjoy Madness and Paul McCartney though.

    There's always people singing at these events that shouldn't.... but she hasn't a note in her head.

    Crazy decision to let her in

    What??????!!!!! He's iconic and yes he did sing well, unlike Elton John whose voice has half gone.

    Both voices were trash - they remain icons however.

    I loved Lenny's talking about Charles selling the DVD's of tonight's performance to the public outside the Palace. Loved Peter Kaye as always, who on earth is Miranda Hart because she was just cringeworthy and I thought she looked like she was dressed as though she was working in an office. Loved Lee Mack talking about Harry hiding six packs under his seat! I'm with everyone else though that Cole did not deserve to be there tonight ffs Gary, you've put on a spectacular do and you invite this one and not only that, to sing with you! She cannot sing, never has done, never will be able to and what on earth was she wearing.

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