WTF had the idea of giving George Micheal 20 minutes on stage - half of which he used to promote his new (crap) song and the boy band who couldn't even mime in time!

Best bits - has to be John Lennon's Imagine, (despite being surrounded by national flags) Eric Idle and Annie Lennox

And Liam G - you can not sing anymore - sorry lad.

Completely agree!
George Michael was god awful, he really was.
One Direction, The Spice Girls, Emeli Sande and Annie Lennox were all terrible as far as I'm concerned. Special commendation goes to Elbow who were excellent, and the performance of Imagine.
Queen was killed, oh who am I kidding, slaughtered bludgeoned and brutally executed before being put into a portaloo and sh*t on by Jessie J and her god awful singing. We Will Rock You is not a vocally demanding song, thats what she tried to make it and it massively detracted from the quality of the whole song. Brian May and Roger Taylor are excellent musicians and as said above they need other excellent musicians to perform with to truly compliment their work and the ability of their dearly departed band mate. While nobody matches Freddie, Paul Rodgers did an excellent job in their tour a few years ago which I was lucky enough to attend!
The Who were also very good and Take That were also rather good compared to some acts earlier in the evening.
Overall, the whole thing was a disappointment, and the worst part? I had to sit and watch all 3 hours of it...
