All the cool kids were across site watching Lizzo.

I’m sure that Janet fan we had on here loved it.

Remember when she had the poster altered to put her name first? Wild times.

She played in 2019 … and not in the legends spot 

And she made her own line up poster too!!

Great isn't it? That level of fandom where everything is excused (the poster, the miming etc.) is something else. They still get very defensive if anyone fares to say her Glastonbury performance was anything less than amazing.

He was definitely a super fan! 🙂

She wasn’t great was she 😂

I enjoyed it. I went into it expecting the full Vegas show, complete with choreography and miming and that's exactly what I got. 

Definitely think GFL put her up against Lizzo because of that poster stunt though! That'll learn her.

Sounds like Neil and Guns n' Roses

TBF put those performances up against each other and Lizzo absolutely schooled her.

Janet Jackson has announced a new tour and finishes in the US a few days* before Glastonbury. I’m guessing she doesn’t have enough singalongs for a legends’ slot? 
 

*edit - finishes 21st June

She would have to be a legend to be considered.

Performance-wise? No doubt about it.

Lizzo will be back though, and in a prominent spot next year, so I chose Janet, and I'm glad I did.

At the risk of sounding like the Janet Stan that posted around the time, it can't be denied that she has "legend" status. I'm not going to list the huge list of evidence to support it, but it's all there with a quick Google

She honestly doesn't stick out to me as someone in that calibur. Forgettable with no Michael link.

I'd reluctantly agree that she doesn't have enough 'hits' in the UK to do the Legend slot - or at least not enough with proven staying-power - but this is just straight up wrong lol, Control > Rhythm Nation > Janet > Velvet Rope is one of the all-time great album runs

Me too. They remind me of that Twitter account that promotes James Arthur for Glastonbury every year. Wonderful dedication

One of my favourites. I often check back in to see how she's doing.

Real heads would have been at Low or Sons of Kemet into Foals!

Cute you're trying to say Lizzo wasn't THE place to be.

Set for the ages.

I'd rather listen to All For You over all of them. But she has a heavy R&B/Funk edge and I don't.

I never thought I'd side with High Jass so much

On paper it sounds great and if 2019 hadn’t happened I think I’d agree with you that she could do the legend slot!
