Wow at 64 she still has got it, what a performance at the jubilee concert, totally crazy and weird yet still amazing, only Grace could do that at the jubilee parade, i forgot how revolutionary her music was.

As i said on previous threads Ms Jones is just phenomenal...at 64 she still has that same presence and way of presence and entertaining...and her vocal was top notch too with it.

Just proves ageism should be euthanised tbh.....when you still have it, you still have it....very inspiring and proud to have her as one of my fave artists

And her toned legs....corrrr!

Cannot wait for new material this year from this lady!

Love her, i need to see her live. I saw a live special she did on one of the music channels not long back. It was phenomenal.

Yes, she's amazing.
Here's a similar performance from Belgian TV a couple of years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYoFzFOq3rA

In fact I'm just going to post her whole set from that night because it's brilliant

I remember watching her on some entertainment programme in the late 70's or early 80's with a gold record on her head ( maybe others remember it ) I thought she was a nutjob even then but she made me proud that the older generation can still effortlessly outshine some of today's "unique talent" I thought she was fab plus she had the coolest song of the concert , in my opinion of course .

Truly something else....i loved that Hurricane released 2008 (and Hurricane Dub from last summer which i own) really is up there with her best ever material on an album ever!

Cannot wait to hear her next one...with graham norton suggested would be a very Disco/Dance influenced album....cannot wait to see it.

glad to see her in public eye again

She is able to pull it off - Madonna should take note of Grace's wardrobe. Grace seems to pick the right attire....or has better wardrobe people.

I really dont now what you are on today lol...seems very M attacky....and if Madonna wore what grace wore there is no doubt Madonna would be criticised for what Jones is able to pull off for some reason.

I mean Madonna wore leotards and rocked em but was critisied....there is Ms Jones wearing all pvc leotard and embraced....heck i love em both though

LOL at the blatant GaGa hate in that Daily Fail article. I mean, come on guys, we know you hate her, but you could at least do it well...

Disclaimer: I dislike GaGa a great deal. But I dislike the Fail's disparagingly piss-poor excuse for journalism even more. I wonder if they even asked Perez for his video...

You be sure to have a good long lie down and reconsider what you just said in bold.

She still has it and was the highlight of the concert for me! I saw her in the early 90s in Brixton and she was incredible (albeit famously late on stage). I was contemplating going to Lovebox this year as she's headlining on the Sunday.

She is, and always has been, brilliantly bonkers...and has made top notch tunes, particularly those produced by Sly and Robbie back in the '80s...

Gawd bless 'er

Whilst I think she is a true star and to do what she did with the hoola and all at 64 is amazing I am sorry but the vocals at times where off.

Once or twice i did wince but overall a memorable performance.

Sorry but hate Cheryl Cole I just have to say that - nations sweetheart - get lost!!

Queen's birthday is June 2, but it was celebrated to coincide with the Jubilee. Everyone wished Lizzie a happy birthday.

I wanted to watch it again on the BBC today, but they cut it out from the highlight coverage.

I love how it is like a mini autobiography of her family life set to music.

Jones is ecstacy for the soul!
