Oh word, her last show had guest spots from Adam Cohen and Sean Lennon. I hope Baxter Dury has cleared his schedule for her UK tour.

God-damn man child

You hit me with your rhythm stick so good I almost said I Love You

Even as a fan though for me she's just not a very good live singer and I find it hard to see past that.

 

Oof, that's awful. An off day, or is she usually that bad live?

[henry bear]

Perhaps that’s a consequence of not lip-syncing, unlike some of the competition.

at this rate the prime minister won't even be able to get a john peel slot ??

He drew a pretty big crowd in 2017 though

It's all Billy Bragg's fault

From watching more of her videos on youtube that's generally how she is. I was at her Glastonbury set and she didn't sound great then either.

I need to listen to NFR more given the praise it's getting. Definitely enjoyed on the first few listens but it quickly fell down the pecking after releasing along with Lover and Fear Innoculum. 

I feel that Lolla set wasn't her best showing. I've yet to see her live myself, but I've seen plenty of other vids where she sounds much better. Headlining the Other would probably be the best slot as a fan, but I think she can nail the sub slot as well.

Oh man, Coop can't even agree with himself. He's really lost it.

One of us is Evil Coop, but which one?

can y'all just like an album without having to inundate everyone about your personal running album of the year lists? makes me do a full body cringe and i'm spilling hot chocolate everywhere.

Lizzo could absolutely jump from WH to Pyramid sub in a year. She has a huge following and to be fair to her she smashed it out the park this year. Fantastic set. 

I could totally see Lizzo playing before Taylor Swift on the sunday night.

Maybe with a new album. I don’t really see her returning to Europe at all next summer.

If Lizzo plays next year, I could see her in Miley's slot from this year

i reckon any headliner won't be wanting her on before them.

Regarding Lizzo

Was absolutely great but would be considerably better if she wasn't singing along to a CD. An awesome backline with amazing drummer would make a massive difference.

That's also very true! Would be great though and would ensure a decent sized crowd hung around on the pyramid. 

[Matt42]

I’d rather Lizzo just held off and came back to headline on the next album.

(If she continues to rise like this)

[The life of Pablo]

In order: 
The 1975 
Taylor Swift 
Fleetwood Mac

Legends, Spice Girls

Big fan of sharing an opinion of an album on a festival forum designed for music fans to engage with other fans and discuss music.

Not big fan of ruling over what's acceptable for users of said forum to discuss based on what I do or don't find cringe worthy.

Yeah I wasn’t feeling Lizzo. I get why people went for it, and I really expected that I would, but musically it felt flat. Maybe I wasn’t stood in a great spot.

Wasn’t ruling over anything. It was just a suggestion to enjoy albums as a body of art rather than entries in a year-long race against completely different albums. I wasn’t even drinking hot chocolate.

Because it's impossible to do both?
