and dangerous too. at least at night there's competition on other stages.

at 4pm on Sunday there wouldn't be as much competition so the place would be utterly rammed.

I think it's time that they put someone big on the other stage when the Sunday afternoon legend slot is on to split the crowd.

The crowd has been ridiculously huge the last couple of years.

(though it was great wondering around the site when Lionel Ritchie was on last year, plenty of room everywhere)

The whole stage fright thing is an act anyway, she'll do some more interviews in the lead up to her headline slot about how scared she is, building a triumphant narrative when she eventually goes on and does it as expected. It's all very calculated. It's not really a matter of stage fright why they wouldn't put her on during the afternoon, it's just basic crowd control.

I know you don't mean anything bad by it but I would think it kind of insensitive to write a person's anxiety off as if it's driven by an ulterior motive. Besides, it's clearly not an act because as she's spoke about it for years I don't think any artist would be prepared to throw away so much money not playing suitably sized gigs for all that time just to create a bit of build up for a festival slot. If she does play then it's as a result of overcoming crippling stage fright rather than fooling everyone for long enough.

Heh.

Maybe she IS scared of the dark and the big crowds thing is all an excuse!

Kate Bush partially being an example. Joni Mitchell, maybe, too IIRC.

Chris Martin on the x factor just declared himself to be in the Reggie and Bollie camp so fingers crossed for a special guest apperance

Reggie and Bollie were better live than Coldplay mind.

Even by X-Factor standards Reggie and Bollie and shocking, although that Louisa is better than their average shitmuncher, she's still no Leona though.

It was fucking dreadful, but amazingly not the worst thing on TV tonight as earlier someone did a dance on Strictly to a Pitbull song,

Coldplay and Adele on X Factor though so two potential pyramid headliners,

Oh I actually watch Strictly as opposed to just happened to catch a few minutes like I did with the X-Factor*, and the first thing that popped into my head when I heard Pitbull (or whoever's covering it) was this

 

Can't believe they kicked Anita and Gleb off. Bruno, how could you!?

*By which I mean I specifically turned it on to see 1D.

Most importantly Adele looked very comfortable on that big stage. So can all the talk of her being scared stop now? I for one cannot wait to ugly cry at Adele at the Pyramid this year.

Adele wants to get Max Martin and Shellback to write and produce some tunes for her, her current vibe is rubbs.

Oh shit, so has Shellback, she's well and truly called my bluff there. I'm still not going to listen to it.

He's been my favourite ever since this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKw3M201Jks

I can't wait until Strictly eats itself and Anton becomes the celebrity dancer - he's arguably more famous than half his partners anyway.

And to keep this on topic, I would happily see Anton do a headline set. It would be like Bruce Forsyth's set, but actually good and with less shitty singing.

WTF has happened to this thread???!!!

How long have I been out cold?!!! Do we have flying cars yet?
