Diana Ross Miming at the Jubilee?! Massive let down for my Sunday!

[Rocknrolljedi]

I was told by a family member who watched it live and didn't believe them so watched it for myself and sure enough about midway through Chain Reaction (2:26) it's clear as day she's singing different words to what's coming out and then right at the end clear as day before her final note even ends she starts blowing kisses!

I've spent a lot of money to attend I don't want to give her the time of day if she dares to do it at Glasto. Any recommendations for someone else to watch!?

Yes this is a fantastic shout, might have trouble convincing the gf but we shall see!

🤷‍♂️ end of a five day bender, I'm happy for some disco karaoke. 

The sound was messed up for a lot of the acts for the jubilee concert tbh, not quite sure what happened to production. You'd hope they'd sort that for Glastonbury and she won't have to mine.

You can't really judge much by that jubilee show which was basically a medley of artists with no sound checks and none of their own production.  I'm sure Ms. Ross will be bringing her A game and I personally won't be missing it.  It's the one thing I'll be making sure I do a shift swap for, if I'm unlucky with the rota.

Seeing her on Friday so can confirm - but dont really give a fiddlers about what happened on the Jubilee.

[Furq]

She'd be mad to lip-sync at Glastonbury.

Can't be worse than Janet Jackson surely?

[a6l6e6x]

Thought her voice had been shot for years, was only expecting a massive sing along anyway. Think it will be a blast

Macca has no voice but nobody cares since he isnt a female.

 

 

if youre out here really complaining about somebody in their 70's not sounding like themselves in their 20's then maybe change your expectations.

Don't think gender or the quality of someone's voice is the issue bud, more the fact there's the potential they won't be using it at all.

I'd prefer 'dodgy' singing to lip-syncing - that was my point.

P P Arnold and Kate Rusby are both playing in Avalon covering the Diana Ross slot and they are both ladies with incredible voices. 

Was actually surprised P P Arnold was up against Diana Ross as I thought there would be a fair amount of overlap. 

[Joshuwarr]

She's been singing live on her tour. I don't the Jubilee is worth paying attention to if you're looking for indicators of what will happen at Glastonbury...

[nikkic]

If you're part of a 100k crowd are you really going to be able to tell if she's lip syncing or not?

Just have a dance with your mates and enjoy yourself. 

[maelzoid]

I personally will likely be at the Pyramid to see Diana Ross, but if I wasn't I'd be getting my jazz on at West Holts with Nubya Garcia followed by Snarky Puppy.

This thread goes to show the absolute variety and vitality of the line-up this year, nobody has to watch an act they don't wnat to see.

Aye, was gutted to see the PP Arnold clash. Surprised by that one tbh

"Her ominously wobbly appearance at last week’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations did not bode well, but Diana Ross was back on magisterial form at the opening night of her first European tour in three years. Despite a few minor technical gremlins, this outdoor jamboree was a soul-pop masterclass from the eerily ageless 78-year-old glamazon empress — sparkly and vintage, like musical champagne."

I heard other artists were miming at the jubilee too, so probably just an artefact of the show requirements

[TheDayman]

This thread reminds me of this. I gave me a good giggle when Billy was standing nowhere near his mic when he started singing 😂

Skip to 02:40...

 

 

[Cooter]

mmm...performing arts? 🤔

[banananey]

Don't care if she mimes or lot as long tbh, just want to boogie to some bangers.

Saw Britney a few years back, couldn't have been singing any less and I had a blast.

[jannybruck]

Dolly P was lip syncing (very well) for most of her slot but I didn't see anyone complain about that and it's still held up as one of the best legends sets ever.

Just have a cider, have a dance, celebrate one of the most iconic soul singers ever and forget about ~authenticity~ for an hour.

[clarkete]

That review from @CaledonianGonzo makes it seem like she's well worth going to see.  Sounds like she could be great. 

[Popsider75]

Dolly Parton definitely did it say Glastonbury I could tell from a distance away. 

I walked off.

I'll be watching Fontaine's DC anyway.

Miming should not be allowed

 

this is my opinion, their job is singing , and I know the show is all part of the act. but singing is first and foremost. If you are going to mime, don't bother turning up 

 

just put a video on. 

 

I will forgive Cyrus snr , as that was comedy gold
