Hello , Good evening & I seem to have made some mistake ...

**NIN** · June 4th, 2012, 07:46 PM

Oh jeez , I am embarrassed - there seem to be 'stars of past & present' singing their asses off in the name of the Queens' glory

Love her as I do ...

This is nothing but propping-up careers of the 'has beens' & should know betters ..
But what a load of old crap !!!

any ideas or thoughts VEF members ?

I'm hoping 'Madness' & 'Kylie' save the day (god bless you Australia

)

other than that.., i think we will fall flat & well short of the required mark

I apologize on the UKs' behalf for this tripe

I've been looking forward to this for ages.

Queen in concert, this will bring back memories.

Hang on, bollocks

**Mad Koala Bear** · June 4th, 2012, 08:07 PM

The Sex Pistols' 'God Save the Queen', number 2 in the charts 35 years ago; now a load of superannuated has-beens queue up to perform for the establishment. Sigh.

**Greenman** · June 4th, 2012, 08:18 PM

Well I would hardly call Renee Fleming, Alfie Boe and Lang Lang has-beens, they aren't all old but remember the Queen doesn't like a lot of modern stuff so it has be a mix of old(Cliff, Elephant John and Shirley B) and new(JLS, Ed Sheeran etc) and frankly I think it has been great so far-apart from Robbie Williams murdering Mack the Knife(not that I like that song anyway) but the most cringeworthy so far have to be the comedians linking the singers apart from Lenny Henry. I also look forward to Madness too.

Still it was probably better than the Eurovision, not watched either so I'm probably the last person to comment.

Never stopped me before

"Never were's" would be a more accurate description
