2020 headliners

[WestCountryGirl]

I must be missing something about Physical.

Previously the only Dua song I really loved was Be The One, but I've been listening to Don't Start Now non stop. Physical just hasn't grabbed me yet.

You're not the only one. Sounds like a poor man's Halsey to me.

[K2SO]

I've seen Dua live 3 times, and she's honestly one of the best performers around at the moment.

Halsey is an odd comparison considering she has never done synthwave before, the closest she has gotten to this is probably 3am off her last album (and Halsey is a poor mans Lorde anyway at best).

You could argue that maybe it sounds too similar to Blinding Lights by The Weeknd...

Either way I dont see how people dobt love the song, its full of hooks (Dont You Agree????...) and the production is great. It might not be immediately as catchy as the bassline in Dont Stop Now, and it might not be the most impressive lyrically, but neither was DSN so I dont see that as being a huge issue.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but have we considered Kendrick might not wanna perform in the dark or is too nervous, so will play the sunset slot underneath Radiohead? 

I know this is in jest, so please take the following in the same spirit.

They headlined the festival before last, they're not touring this summer - they're not playing. But, honestly, radiohead fans on the internet... Whatever question you ask, the answer is always Radiohead. You ask, which is the best intro of all time, some radiohead fan will say a radiohead song! You ask, which is the best vocal performance of all time, some radiohead fan will say a radiohead song!

I was perusing another board recently and the question was, which acts have had lengthy careers without releasing a greatest hits - so people are answering AC/DC, Nine Inch Nails, even Coldplay and Muse now have surprisingly big back catalogues to have never released a best of... And then here comes the Radiohead fan! "Radiohead" even though they very much have released a 'best of', but his argument was, well the band didn't approve it, so it doesn't count! Radiohead fans! I ask you...

don't really know much Halsey, but it definitely sounds like a massive rip-off of something I can't put my finger on.

It's similar to a few Ladyhawke tracks too.

Isn’t Halsey a poor mans halsey?

I thought he was a referee.

One Kiss went off at Mad Cool. So did most of the set tbh, was a nice change from the rock acts on that evening.

I'm retiring from the wordplay game.  I've always prided myself on my ability to pull one together, but I've got the chops to know when it's time to pass the torch.

I honestly thought One Kiss would be her final song. Certified singalong banger.

When I first saw New Rules on spotify had a billion listens I was very confused as I liked One Kiss so much more but I'm not surprised she closes with it.

Electricity is also a banger!

Just bring over Shakira and JLo to perform their Super Bowl set from last night. Doesn’t have to headline, anywhere will do!

I saw hustlers yesterday and watched the super bowl performance back.

JLO would smash a Janet Jackson style slot. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her on the bill in the future either.

I think she’d be a great future booking.

J-Lo & Shakira.... mimed with the mic turned on occaisionally.

It was bobbins.

Yes it was. Cannot understand the praise for the halftime show. Well choreographed  but musically dreadful. As bad as the Maroon 5 and the Black Eyed Peas HT shows.

I think you have to mime the halftime show. I did read this somewhere.
