Kanye west confirmed

[blacksmith12]

I'm still trying to work out how he managed to start his Big Chill set in 2011 from the top of the sound desk...

I was right in front of that sound desk and still can't figure out how he got back to the stage. Hell of an intro

[Matt42]

Really hoping A$AP Rocky is on the bill somewhere this year. All three of his new songs for his new album in May are fantastic!

Places Kanye West has performed from:

- A cherry picker

- The top of the sound desk

- A lake

Anyone else fucking excited for Runaway? probably gonna be one of the most magical parts of the set.

Just Awful.

I like old school Kanye.

It's his best song. How anyone prefer "Old Kanye" over that just confuses me

I think he thinks he can sing. He can't. Somebody else with that tune in their hands, might nail it. Not Kanye.

It's funny because he's singing through a vocoder. He sounds better singing through a vocoder, much better. I quite like this. Don't listen more than once right through though. Clash dependent, I'll probably be there.

nah, I definitely think it's his best album but not his best song. There's better on that album alone nevermind all the classics he has.

My favourite song is Homecoming, I'm realllllllllllllllllly hoping Chris Martin comes out to do it with him in full

[kalifire]

I think he thinks he can sing.

I don't. I think he knows very well that he can't sing. He's just experimenting new things, embracing the vocodor as an instrument rather than a production tweak. We're not hearing him sing, we're hearing him play.

Nah, he's said loads of times that he can't. He uses the vocoder as an effect. Love what he does with it at the end of Runaway, his voice sounds like a Robert Fripp solo.

The whole of 808s and Heartbreaks is autotuned because he knows he can't sing. He just likes to poke around with his music.

[CHRLY]

Forgot about that American Boy song - stone cold banger.

To each their own, but I would suggest try to be more open minded about autotune man. When it's done right, it can be an extra instrument to bend voice and stuff. I think I'm not alone when saying the last half of the Runaway song, when it's just all autotune is one of the most emotional moment in recent recorded music history.

I mean, to me, music doesnt have to be perfect man. Not all of it has to be like hitting all the perfect notes. I prefer Kanye songs where he uses autotune experimentation than your average pop star who hits all the right note but is just so boring and nothing new.

[Zero_Newnab]

"I hate how music is all autotune these days!" - A sentence which is only said by pretentious losers who don't really appreciate music.

Pitch correction has been used for decades, albeit in admittedly less obvious ways, and nobody gave a shit then. People don't even notice when it's done to make a song sound 'normal', but as soon as someone experiments with it and makes it more of an instrument people use it as a stick to beat them with.

I don't understand how anybody could listen to that and not enjoy it.

We all forgot American Boy. Love that tune so much.

[paddyclark]

Well I keep listening and still leaves me totally cold still can't understand why the guys headlining.... Thank good for the other stages

[verrymerry]

That's why music's subjective, I just don't get it, I think it sounds terrible, but he must be doing something right because a lot of people will disagree with me

[Acid_Haze]

Who dyou reckon he might bring on as special guests?

There are plenty of big possibilities of big names coming and joining him, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Jay-Z etc.

I have a feeling there'll be less than we expect though, probably macca and then a few singers for his choruses like the guy who sang on All Day

could get Chris Martin on for homecoming too

This just doesn't sound right .

Also, McCartney's US arena tour is being announced drip by drip so far, June 21 and June 23 already on sale, a few more dates rumoured around that time with 25 as certain date, assuming the others will be well into late June. Any appearance at Glastonbury seems a stretch.

[ghostdancer1]

guests:

Pusha T

Big Sean

Allan Kingdom if he does All Day

maybe Chris Martin for Homecoming

would hope for Jay-Z and/or Rihanna but i wouldn't be expecting it.

can't see McCartney coming on at all.
