Is Anyone Watching Live 8?

[gldstwmn]

Comments anyone?

[Livia]

I'm watching - was wondering who Billy Shears was gonna be....and psych! :lol:

[LEATHER&LACE64]

Comments anyone?

I am at work watching it on my computer but since I do not have speakers, it is kinda pointless :shrug: but had to check out the Sgt Pepper with Bono--my daughter called and said I HAD to check it out :laugh: .

[ryan8472]

I'm watching all the concerts online @ AOL Music. Way, way better than the **** that MTV is pulling right now. :mad:

The shows themselves have been *amazing*. U2 was good, Elton John was good, Dido was excellent, The Stereophonics and Muse were awesome too. Annie Lennox is up next in London (obviously the best of the shows). : :blob2:

[wondergirl9847]

I wanna hurt people.

It's 2 minutes of an act, then 15 minutes of VJ's and commercials.

Bring on the DVD...this bites!!! :mad::mad:

exactly! We get brief highlights of U2 and Elton John (like 10 sec clips) to watch commercials, VJs, and the Black Eyed Peas :shrug:

hopefully the highlights show on ABC tonight will show the best acts.

:wavey: adam :wavey:

[Gwillaker]

Yip. I was just a wee bit disappointed that Status Quo didnt open up like they did in '85, but never mind. I signed the petition thing too.

[wondergirl9847]

I just went to AOL.com and am watching Annie Lennox right now.

[ryan8472]

Guys, go here: http://music.aol.com/

You can watch whatever concert you want live. Philly, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, all of it. :thumbsup: :nod:

[gldstwmn]

I'm watching - was wondering who Billy Shears was gonna be....and psych! :lol:

I know! They didn't play it. Damn.

[ryan8472]

I just went to AOL.com and am watching Annie Lennox right now.
I've been online since 9 AM. I just knew MTV would make this whole thing into a scam. :distress:

However...Annie Lennox is AMAZING. :thumbsup:

Sweet dreams are made of these............ :blob2: :D

That would have been really cool. But alas, are they even still together? :shrug:

Coldplay did play the chorus from Rocking All Over The World tho, so they made me happy. :D

And Christy - Yes, bring on the DVD :nod:

[Livia]

Aw **** - I thought I could just leave it on the TV and do stuff around the house, but now I'm on AOL and can't....leave...computer....

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm not watching. :shrug:

[ryan8472]

Destiny's Child is on now....And not much else. :shrug: :rolleyes:

Oh, I forgot, Brian Wilson is on too. I'm impartial to him tho. :shrug:

[Livia]

Faith Hill in Rome - check out her hair! She looks gorgeous, imo.

[wondergirl9847]

I am waiting for Keith Urban and Pink Floyd!!!

Brian Wilson is on in Berlin right now.

[Livia]

Faith's doing "Piece of My Heart!" :eek:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Faith's doing "Piece of My Heart!" :eek:


She always has. It was a single years ago....and not a very good one. :shocked:

[gldstwmn]

Brian Wilson is doing God Only Knows! :thumbsup:

[Livia]

She always has. It was a single years ago....and not a very good one. :shocked:

Yeah, it's pretty lame - but I still love her hair! :D

[ryan8472]

UB40 is on in London....Eh. :cool:

Red, Red Wiiiiiiiiiiiine... :laugh: :p

And I have no interest in Simple Plan. :eek:

[gldstwmn]

California Girls! :blob1:

[Livia]

Annie Lennox just started on the global feed, if anyone missed her earlier.

[ryan8472]

Annie Lennox just started on the global feed, if anyone missed her earlier.
I might just watch that again. :nod: She was absolutely amamzing. :thumbsup:

[wondergirl9847]

Everytime I click on Rome, nothing is happening.

Everybody is just rome-ing around. *groan*

:sorry:

[Livia]

Everytime I click on Rome, nothing is happening.

Everybody is just rome-ing around. *groan*

:sorry:

Set change. :nod:

[ryan8472]

Everytime I click on Rome, nothing is happening.

Everybody is just rome-ing around. *groan*

:sorry:
Some italian band is on now in Rome :shrug:

[wondergirl9847]

That sentence was hilarious, Ryan...it is Rome, Italy after all.

Sorry, that sentence just tickled me.

[ryan8472]

...Aaaand it's a set change in London. In the meantime, I'm going to watch Annie Lennox again. :laugh: :nod: Seriously, she has been one of the, if not the best performer yet. :nod:

[wondergirl9847]

Snoop Dogg next in London.

Annie was pretty great. :nod:

[ryan8472]

That sentence was hilarious, Ryan...it is Rome, Italy after all.

Sorry, that sentence just tickled me.
:lol: Yes. I know it's in Italy. :lol:

Yay, Snoop Dogg is on in London. :rolleyes:

[hayley]

I have dial-up, so there's no way in hell I'm even going to attempt to watch the AOL feed. Instead, I'm watching VH1, and a little bit behind on Tivo. I missed U2/Paul McCartney, one of the only things I actually really wanted to see.

I did love Richard Ashcroft w/ Coldplay- I'm a huge Richard Ashcroft fan and it was soooo great to see him out there. Also? Beyonce telling people that "Say My Name" has extra significance because of all of the nameless in poverty? is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

The commercials and interviews are AWFUL! The VJs are awful, the interviews are awful, they're barely showing anything of the performances. -_-

[ryan8472]

Drop it like it's hawt, drop it like it's hawt. :lol: :lol: :lol:

"make some mother****in noise!$#%" :laugh: :laugh:

EMI Provides Live 8 Financial Backing For DVD Rights [Hot Flashes - 05.06.27 17:38:51]

According to a press release, EMI and Live 8 have concluded a unique agreement whereby EMI will provide the Live 8 organization with a major financial contribution in return for the worldwide DVD rights to its July 2nd concerts in the UK, Canada, US, France, Germany and Italy.


In November, EMI expects to release locally tailored DVDs around the world featuring live footage from the concerts. Artists who will perform at the concerts include DEEP PURPLE, PINK FLOYD, MOTLEY CRUE, BRYAN ADAMS, BON JOVI, COLDPLAY, SHERYL CROW, DIDO, GREEN DAY, JAY-Z, ELTON JOHN, ANNIE LENNOX, LINKIN PARK, MADONNA, MAROON 5, PAUL MCCARTNEY, REM, SCISSOR SISTERS, STING, JOSS STONE, U2, KEITH URBAN, VELVET REVOLVER, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, BRIAN WILSON and STEVIE WONDER.

Bob Geldof said: "I hope this will be the biggest selling DVD of all time. It deserves to be. More importantly perhaps, it should be, for it will help us achieve our goal of changing the lives of the extreme poor for the better and making our generation the one that helped end the disgrace of poverty. We are very grateful to EMI for their financial contribution which helped to make the July 2nd concerts happen everywhere on the planet and thus nudge the world a little closer towards our shared aim."

The concerts are being held ahead of the G8 summit in Scotland on July 6th where eight world leaders will be presented with a workable plan to double aid, drop debt and make trade laws fair to stop 30,000 children dying needlessly of extreme poverty every single day.

Alain Levy, Chairman and CEO of EMI Music said: "EMI is honoured to be supporting this inspired and visionary project and working with a truly amazing line-up of stars who are demonstrating yet again the power that music has as a force for change."

"On its own, the Toronto area show already boasts an astonishing line-up of artists," said Deane Cameron, President of EMI Music Canada. "We're delighted to contribute and delighted Canada will be part of this truly global production."

For further information on artists who will perform at the concerts go to www.live8live.com.

[Serrart]

I might just watch that again. :nod: She was absolutely amamzing. :thumbsup:

The best for me too, together with Rem's Everybody Hurts. I found U2 a bit disappointing though. And in Roma my favourite, Francesco De Gregori opened the concert even before Paul McCartney in London. :thumbsup:

Romy

[wondergirl9847]

I just saw Ricky Gervais in London! Cool...now where are the Ledgies!!!!!!!

[Serrart]

I'm on dialup. It's a little muddy, but it's watchable. Bon Jovi's Global Feeding right now.

Anyone know what songs Dido did? I wanted to see her and didn't wake up in time. -_-

Oh GOD, Good Cahrlotte's on my TV (I'm multitasking Live8 and regretting it right now). CLICK'D.

I didn't see all the performance, they switch here from a concert to the other, but she definitely sung Thank You and Seven Seconds with Youssou 'n Dour.

Romy

[nodmod]

That would have been really cool. But alas, are they even still together? :shrug:

Coldplay did play the chorus from Rocking All Over The World tho, so they made me happy. :D

And Christy - Yes, bring on the DVD :nod:


Status Quo are still together and are opening for Meatloaf in Killarney, Ireland tonight, the Quo boys were going to play Live8 but they did not get an early slot, they were scheduled for 18:30 which meant they were double booked.

It nice to see that the BBC are broadcasting the complete show and the UK get to see the whole UK show interuption free, at least this makes up for our license fee we have to pay to make the BBC commercial free.

I know she did 'Thank You', and two other songs. I'll try and find out which.


And I've had just about enough of Snoop, so I'm going to watch Bruce Cockburn in Toronto. :nod:

[estranged4life]

I'm not watching. :shrug:

I'll just wait til the whole damn appears via torrent...I very much doubt it will top "Live Aid" (Which I have the whole frikkin show on 17 cd's...Only missing less than 10 minutes of the audio feed from "Live Aid").

[gldstwmn]

...Aaaand it's a set change in London. In the meantime, I'm going to watch Annie Lennox again. :laugh: :nod: Seriously, she has been one of the, if not the best performer yet. :nod:
She tore it up.

[wondergirl9847]

I saw Dido do White Flag. Don't know which other songs she did.

[Livia]

Tiromancino in Rome - I don't speak Italian, so I don't understand a word he's singing. But he's HAAAWT!! :nod:

[ryan8472]

She tore it up.
Totally. I think I've used just about every adjective to describe her performance, but it really was that good. :nod:

[wondergirl9847]

I love Will and Summahtime!

[ryan8472]

Razorlight :D :thumbsup:

[estranged4life]

setlist is goin to be interesting to hear (Already know which tracks they will play) and Velvet Revolver will also have a special guest when they play their set (Btw, I wonder what VR thinks of the recent Geffen records press release in regards to the Nov.29th Guns N Roses "Chinese Democracy" release??)

[gldstwmn]

Tiromancino in Rome - I don't speak Italian, so I don't understand a word he's singing. But he's HAAAWT!! :nod:

No kidding. And I've already seen George Clooney in the video thing they showed earlier. My day is now complete. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

Madonna is next in London. :D

[gldstwmn]

Madonna is next in London. :D

Wonder what she'll sing? She's a Live Aid alumna.

[Livia]

Wonder what she'll sing? She's a Live Aid alumna.

Writhing around in a wedding dress - SO yesterday! :D

Sweet! Like A Prayer. She looks good.

[ryan8472]

Writhing around in a wedding dress - SO yesterday! :D

[gldstwmn]

Writhing around in a wedding dress - SO yesterday! :D
Well, she did come out all in white this time. :lol:

[wondergirl9847]

That African lady is gorgeous.

LMAO!! I was gonna say "Well, they are in white." too, but ya'll beat me to it.

[gldstwmn]

Well she IS in all white. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

"Are you f*cking ready London?" Shake it up Maddy! :lol:
I know! I was like "ALRIIGHT!" :thumbsup:

Where's the male dancers tho!? :laugh:

[gldstwmn]

Heh. Aaaaand now she's rolling around.

Oh, Madge. You so crazy.

I know! I love it!

[ryan8472]

Ah, nevermind. Here come the male dancers. :nod: :laugh:

I hate to sound like Paris Hilton, but that was hot. :nod:

[gldstwmn]

That dude is spinning on his head!

[wondergirl9847]

That breakdancing was awesome.....I miss breakdancing.

Madonna's show is pretty good, but the feed just messed up, so I flipped to Philly....Toby Keith...oh yay. :rolleyes:

BRING ON KEITH URBAN!!!!!

[ryan8472]

That dude is spinning on his head!
God that guy without the shirt is hot. :laugh: :lol:

[hayley]

Holy jesus! Madonna was fantastic! I don't even *like* her that much, but she was great. Makes me want to go pull out my Drowned World tour DVD.

She looked and sounded great.

I am not getting anything done. I'm trying in vain to spend today packing and cleaning, getting ready to move in a couple of days. It ain't happening.

eta: It definitely ain't happening if I keep dancing around in my underwear to "What's My Name" like it's Death Row era all over again.

[ryan8472]

Either there's a set change right now or Franz is performing in London?
Set change. I wish they would perform. :distress:

Snow Patrol is next in London.

[wondergirl9847]

A-Ha in Berlin!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[ryan8472]

A-Ha in Berlin!!!! AWESOME!!!!
YES!:thumbsup:

[gldstwmn]

Holy jesus! Madonna was fantastic! I don't even *like* her that much, but she was great. Makes me want to go pull out my Drowned World tour DVD.

She kicked ass. Best performance yet, with Annie running a close second. The girls are rocking it hard today.

:nod: I can't believe MTV cut off Madonna for a commercial break - I've got the surround sound blaring in the living room - had to run back to the computer to see "Music," I love that song!

[gldstwmn]

Just caught the end of Bachman Turner Overdrive in Canada. Is there any way to replay these performances?

[ryan8472]

Christy, they're doing Take On Me! :blob2: :thumbsup:

[Livia]

A-HA!!! Take on Me! Oops, they should have worked on those harmonies, ouch!

[gldstwmn]

:nod: I can't believe MTV cut off Madonna for a commercial break - I've got the surround sound blaring in the living room - had to run back to the computer to see "Music," I love that song!

This is so different than Live Aid. One of the networks should be carrying this live. Fools.

[wondergirl9847]

Yes, the harmonies need work, but Morten's falsetto is still pretty good. He still sounds pretty good and they are all still pretty hot too. :nod:

Um, don't know about those capri pants...that is all kinds of wrong. LOL

[Livia]

This is so different that Live Aid. One of the networks should be carrying this live. Fools.

Yes! It's a waste of airtime that VH1 and MTV have duplicate coverage. :shrug:

[gldstwmn]

A-HA!!! Take on Me! Oops, they should have worked on those harmonies, ouch!

He said his ear monitor isn't working proeprly. :(

[gldstwmn]

Um, don't know about those capri pants...that is all kinds of wrong. LOL

Hey, it's hot there. :lol:

[ryan8472]

Yeah, I was hoping this would be commercial-free and not all jumpy and interrupt-y. :(

I'm kinda waiting for the Killers, unless they've been on already. I have earplugs ready! :woohoo: ;)
They haven't played yet. :D

And apparently a-ha is having sound problems. :laugh:

[Livia]

That set up in Berlin looks like a bowling alley lane! It's pretty, but the crowd looks so smooshed...

[wondergirl9847]

That sucks. Sesly, sound people in Berlin, get with the program! :mad:

[ryan8472]

That sucks. Sesly, sound people in Berlin, get with the program! :mad:
Word.

I was kind of hoping they'd do The Living Daylights... :(

[wondergirl9847]

Morten and that NOTE!!!! Sheebus!!

Yeah, Living Daylights or my fave song....I've Been Losing You!

[hayley]

Aww. Hayley!! Snow Patrol's doing "Run!" :woohoo:
Aww, how'd it sound? Guess I'm waiting for the DVD on this sucker. -_-

[gldstwmn]

Holy ****e! Is that Deep Purple in Toronto?

[ryan8472]

Holy ****e! Is that Deep Purple in Toronto?

Man, they look old. But they still sound great! :nod:

[estranged4life]

Smoke On The Water! Geezer Ledgies dance! :lol:

Deep Purple however loses points though for no longer having Jon Lord as the keyboardist :shrug:

[wondergirl9847]

Is today, "Wear White Day" because The Killahs are in white too. LOL

[gldstwmn]

Man, they look old. But they still sound great! :nod:

He's still singing the high notes and he doesn't appear to be wearing an ear monitor.

[ryan8472]

The Killers are on in London right now.
They are indeed. SWOON. :] My god he is hot. :blob2:

How did I know they'd do All These Things That I've Done tho? :rolleyes:

[Livia]

Okay, I just started a load of laundry - now I don't feel so guilty...


Smoooooooke on the waaaater - fire in the sky!! :blob2:

Just switched to The Killers...

[gldstwmn]

The Killers are on in London right now.
I'd love to watch them but they're young and God only knows if I'll ever get to see Deep Purple again. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

Um, did my boys do ONE song? :mad:

[ryan8472]

In the meantime...Deep Purple is still on. And rocking 'Hush'. :nod:

[Livia]

Yup. Joss Stone is up next. Quick, someone call Dissention! ;)

My friend Kenny is her drum tech - I'm looking for him! LOL He did her US tour, I'm not sure if he's really there or not....

[wondergirl9847]

Killers only got to do ONE song? Lame.

[Livia]

Aw, f*ck, Joss Stone and Alicia Keys are BOTH on - click, click....

[gldstwmn]

Natalie Portman is doing her best Sinead O'Connor imitation.

[ryan8472]

Killers only got to do ONE song? Lame.
I am so sad. :distress: But nonetheless... WE HAVE PINK FLOYD TO LOOK FOREWARD TO!!! :blob2:

I like Linkin Park...Jay-Z...not so much.

Brian, Jars of Clay is a Christian rock band. They did the song Flood...which was used in some movies. "If I can't swim after 40 days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves, lift me up, so high, that I cannot fall, lift me up..."

[Livia]

5:00 -- Rob Thomas (Gag!!)

Is that what he did to Tom Cruise? :eek:

[ryan8472]

I wish they'd play that but most of it would prolly end up bleeped.
The live feed is unedited. See the thing at the bottom of the screen? ;)

[Nixxxed]

LOL - yeah, that album is so deliciously nasty.

"When you're running from a trick, and you trip (on a hit of acid --- bllllllllinnnnnngggg)"

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

And is it me, or does London look like the place to be for this thing? The PA show seems to be embarrasingly sub-par...

[gldstwmn]

A new song. Kewl.

[Livia]

Doesnt the Sissors chick resemble Beverly D'Angelo? I keep waiting for Chevy Chase to show up!
:lol:
I think they would be a BLAST to see live...

I have seen them....and they ARE a blast! And yes, she looks like she and Bev were separated at birth. I love the new song!!

[wondergirl9847]

London is the place to be fer sure....if ONLY for PF:The Reunion, but the Philly peeps....seem to be on valium or something...dead.

[gldstwmn]

I think so too. She does kinda resemble Beverly D' Angelo.

[ryan8472]

Velvet Revolver is next in London. :)

[GardenStateGirlie]

I just got in and turned it on right now. I can't believe all of these people are on the Parkway :shocked:

[ryan8472]

All of the Philly acts stink. :distress:

[gldstwmn]

I know dear but I don't think that song would fly.

[Livia]

I want to fly in to London on a helicopter - I want to be there, very badly!

Brownie points to whoever can guess who I'm paraphrasing!

It would have been cool if the Sisters did their version of Comfortably Numb - but maybe not so cool, since they opened for Pink Floyd. :rolleyes:

[ryan8472]

I know dear but I don't think that song would fly.
I guess you have a point. Tho everybody has been dropping the F-bomb all day, so why not take it to the next level? :laugh:

Yup. London is the spot. Could our political climate have something to do with the fact that so many famous musicians are abroad?

[Serrart]

For who's on AOL, Ligabue, the one in Italy right now is fairly good.

Romy

[wondergirl9847]

Boy, don't make me come over there. :mad:

Good pot. :lol:

[Nixxxed]

Too bad they're not raising any money with this thing - maybe they could give the Linkin Park guy a few bucks to learn how to sing (er, scream) on pitch. :rolleyes:

[wondergirl9847]

What is with that Nazi flag in Berlin being flown? I can only read the word Nazi. Anyone know what it says?

[ontheEdgeof17]

Really. The Brits seem far less uptight about that sort of thing.

Can Scott be any hotter???? :thumbsup:

[wondergirl9847]

The camera in London is making me seasick. LOL

Sesly people.

[ryan8472]

Velvet Revolver is pretty damn awesome. :nod:

I wonder when Mariah gets to grace us with her presence? :rolleyes:

[GardenStateGirlie]

All of the Philly acts stink. :distress:

Which is why at 15 minutes away from the city, I don't feel like i'm missing anything--this sucks.

[Nixxxed]

Really. The Brits seem far less uptight about that sort of thing.

Could THAT be why they're not broadcasting live? The poor bleeper guy would've had to have bionic fingers installed by now.

[bikerchic]

You stand at your door and be closer to the stage than the ppl who traveled acrossed the country to Philly to listen to this crap.

[GardenStateGirlie]

I must go to Italy one day. So many hot men. :lol:

If they look like the men in the Barilla pasta commercials, i'm there :p

[gldstwmn]

Weiland looks healthy.

[wondergirl9847]

Scott looks mega-hot in that outfit!

[Serrart]

And some more have to go on stage yet. :cool:

Romy

[gldstwmn]

Velvet Revolver is pretty damn awesome. :nod:



Weren't they to have a special guest?

[GardenStateGirlie]

You stand at your door and be closer to the stage than the ppl who traveled acrossed the country to Philly to listen to this crap.

Word. It's humid out today--no way i'm standing in a crowd of a million people to watch this. One of my friends is working the concert and then another friend I have up from VA with her girlfriend to see this -- i'm wondering where they are in the crowd.

[gldstwmn]

They just showed Paris Hilton in the audience.

[Livia]

Scott's shirt is OFF! Slither - hell yeah!

That was awesome...I need a cigarette...

John McEnroe is there too.

[wondergirl9847]

YEAHH!!!!!!

Please God, let them do Photograph!!

[gldstwmn]

A cover song? The Guess Who? :confused:

ON EDIT: That was a Badfinger cover.

[Nixxxed]

Green Day doing We Are The Champions?!?!?!?!

:blob1: :] :blob2:

Guys should wear eyeliner MORE. :nod:

[gldstwmn]

Pour Some Sugar On Me.

[Serrart]

I've decided to give some informations on the Italians :p

The one who's onstage now, well right now is crowd surfing, is Jovanotti, he looks a prophet with this beard but has a great energy.

Romy

[DavidMn]

I'm watching all the concerts online @ AOL Music. Way, way better than the **** that MTV is pulling right now. :mad:

The shows themselves have been *amazing*. U2 was good, Elton John was good, Dido was excellent, The Stereophonics and Muse were awesome too. Annie Lennox is up next in London (obviously the best of the shows). : :blob2:
That's cool that you mentioned the Stereophonics. They're one of my favs, behind Fleetwood Mac, and I had a chance to see them live here in Minnneapolis on may 28, and met them before the show, and had them sign a poster, and had a pic taken with them. Nice guys all :nod:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Green Day doing We Are The Champions?!?!?!?!



They have some of the best live voices I've ever heard. They always sound on tune and on pitch. :nod:

[GardenStateGirlie]

Section ZZZ999. :laugh:

No doubt :laugh: She called me last week trying to find out which roads were blocked off. Pretty much everything near the art museum so I don't know where they ended up (they were going to camp out in the back of her SUV).

[gldstwmn]

Green Day doing We Are The Champions?!?!?!?!

:blob1: :] :blob2:

Iknow. Sensory overload. I don't know what to watch. :lol:

[Livia]

Sting's coming up in London! :thumbsup:

[GardenStateGirlie]

Very cool they're showing everyones name who signed :nod:

[gldstwmn]

Here comes Gordon.

[wondergirl9847]

The London crowd totally rules. :thumbsup:

Lenny made me laugh with the Diff'rent Strokes thing. LOL

[ryan8472]

Sting's coming up in London! :thumbsup:
Sweet! I would love it if he had Mark Knopfler on so they could do Money For Nothing < yeah right.

He is cool tho. :nod:

[DavidMn]

Awesome! I like them. :nod:
ALso, I find them to be a very original sound in all these new bands today. They actually give a damn. I first heard them when I was on vacation in Europe in 2002, I was crossing the Channel from France to England, and Have A Nice Day came on the sound system. I was immideately taken by the song, and when I got off the plane from London the next day, I went right to the store to buy the cd, and have been hooked ever since

[Livia]

Stiiiiiiiing - the Stinginator!

Message in a Bottle! :thumbsup:

[gldstwmn]

Message In A Bottle. Yeah!

[Serrart]

In Italy it's on Laura Pausini, classic Italian pop.

Romy

[Livia]

I was just thinking how cool it would have been if Stevie could have fit in a Philly appearance - I mean she's RIGHT there....she could have done HAEWAFY for this cause...

I like how Sting changed up the lyrics to EBYT and used the pics of the world leaders on the screens.

And while I'm on the subject, did everyone here add their name? I'm getting a little verklempt typing this - I was just bitching about how much money I spent grocery shopping, and there are children starving in this world. Shame on me. :distress:

[gldstwmn]

Mariah Carey. Needy diva. :lol:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Mariah Carey. Needy diva. :lol:

If you think Stevie lost range....just listen to Mariah. :rolleyes:

Had she been in Philly, that would have been AWESOME :nod:

Name added.

Is it just me or is new Maria doing old Maria really weird? Oh, and I hope she had a bikini wax...jeeze. She should invite her dress to a party with her knees :eek:

[Serrart]

in Philly Sarah McLachlan is awesome. How strange, women on all the stages.. Sarah singing Angel!... with Josh Groban :shocked:

Romy

[rbs3676]

Yes, I totally agree with you -- an appearance from Stevie would have been FABULOUS!

rbs

[Livia]

Josh Groban is on stage w/ Sarah now - and they sound great together!

[gldstwmn]

Sara Mac & Josh Groban. Beautiful.

[Livia]

Dido's on in Philly now

[bikerchic]

Josh Groban is on stage w/ Sarah now - and they sound great together!
Sarah's voice is like an angel sent from heaven! :angel:

[Serrart]

Yes, they sounded great together. In Italy now Laura Pausini is making duet with Claudio Baglioni, one of our the most famous Songwriters (I can 't stand him but he has a lot of fans).

[wondergirl9847]

MY voice is lower than David Beckhams. LMAO!!!!!!

He looks scared.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Dido's on in Philly now

I guess she flew from London to Philly?? Phil Collins'D!

[gldstwmn]

What's the name of the band that is playing in Paris right now?

[Serrart]

Robbie's singing We will rock you... oh well. Luckily just a verse.

Romy

[bikerchic]

MY voice is lower than David Beckhams. LMAO!!!!!!

He looks scared.
He looks hawt! :thumbsup: Everyone looks hawt to me, I must be horny! :laugh: :xoxo: :nod:

[Serrart]

Faithless in Berlin.

Romy

I'm not a Robbie Williams fan at all, but he's been suprisingly good. :nod:

[bikerchic]

FEEL, Robbie Williams, love that song :blob1: :blob1:

[Livia]

Maroon singer is so cute!! :]

rbs

Stevie loves Maroon 5, she should be there, dammit! :p OMG, they're doing a Neil Young song - Rockin' in the Free World!

[estranged4life]

I think Phil Collen is hot.

Phil "Flamenco" Collen's (Of Def Leppard) name right...Most think it's Phil Collins

[gldstwmn]

The lead singer for Jet is dressed for winter. Is it cold in Toronto? :lol:

[wondergirl9847]

Phil "Flamenco" Collen's (Of Def Leppard) name right...Most think it's Phil Collins

Yeah, cuz people are stoopid. LOL I still wish they would have done Photograph, dangit! :mad:

[ryan8472]

Yay for Robbie going down on the lower level of the stage. :nod: :thumbsup:

And I love Jet. <3

[Serrart]

DUDE. If Dido Phil Collins'd that, too, I'd die.

Apparently, Dido's the Phil Collins of the day. She was in London, flew to the Eden Project (?) with Youssou N'dour to do 7 Seconds again.

She sounded incredible on 7 Seconds. Unfortunately in Berlin there's only Rollo.

[gldstwmn]

I was just thinking how cool it would have been if Stevie could have fit in a Philly appearance - I mean she's RIGHT there....she could have done HAEWAFY for this cause...

I bet she's watching it.

I did add my name, BTW.

[Serrart]

In Paris there's Zucchero, a good Italian soul voice.

Romy

[gldstwmn]

:laugh:

If you think Stevie lost range....just listen to Mariah. :rolleyes:

She used to wail Make It Happen. This version was a bit reserved.

[wondergirl9847]

Keith should be coming on after Green Day in Philly!!!

[gldstwmn]

Sarah's voice is like an angel sent from heaven! :angel:

She hit higher notes than La Carey in that song.

[gldstwmn]

I don't mean to be crass but who is going to be playing bass for The Who?

[gldstwmn]

He looks hawt! :thumbsup:

My daughter just said the same thing. I'm like eh, he's Posh Spice's husband. :lol:

[gldstwmn]

In Paris Placebo are on stage.

Thank you. I liked them. :nod:

[rbs3676]

Keith Urban!

WELL BUCKO, HUNCH ME NOW! :eek:

[Serrart]

Thank you. I liked them. :nod:

I like them too. Who in London right now.

Romy

[gldstwmn]

The Spice Girls! I mean The Who! :lol:

[ryan8472]

I really wish Stevie coould have done the London show. :distress: She'd fit in perfectly. :nod:

And yay for the Who!!!

[ryan8472]

The Spice Girls! I mean The Who! :lol:
I know :lol:

[gldstwmn]

Daltrey and Townsend look good. The old boys still have the swagger.

[Serrart]

Renato Zero in Italy. An icon for many here.

The Who sound pretty good, I think.

Romy

[Livia]

I don't know about the Who's bass player - I haven't been able to get a good look either - who's the drummer?? They sound great, but Roger looks weird to me....I feel another f-bomb coming up....

Hee-hee, there it was!!

[GardenStateGirlie]

Jann Arden's on in Toronto. I don't think I've heard anything of hers, but I'm digging it.

I think if you'd listen to the song Insensitive, you'd recognize who she is :nod: That was her big hit here.

[gldstwmn]

YOU TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS!!!

Sorry, that's how they were introduced. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

I don't know about the Who's bass player - I haven't been able to get a good look either - who's the drummer?? They sound great, but Roger looks weird to me....I feel another f-bomb coming up....
DEFINITELY. :nod: :thumbsup:

[bikerchic]

Keith Urban, stop with the hawtness now, I can't take anymore! :p

[ontheEdgeof17]

I think if you'd listen to the song Insensitive, you'd recognize who she is :nod: That was her big hit here.

<3 that song.

[ryan8472]

Yup...there we go Roger. :laugh:

[gldstwmn]

I don't know about the Who's bass player - I haven't been able to get a good look either - who's the drummer??

I think it's still Kenny Jones.
