i know. i dont get why they had to put rap in

they should have had more of her favorite bands rather than kanye [i like some of his music, just for diana??] they should have had duran duran come back too. [i was watching them sparingly, did they even play 'hungry like the wolf'??? that was like their biggest hit! I might watch Joss Stone too. I like some of her music

Me either. The crowd doesnt seem into it anyways. DD played Sunrise, Wild Boys, and Rio. And IAWTC, they need to play again, if Elton does.

Aaack! I forgot this was on today...I turned it on during Nelly Furtado. Tom Jones is looking/sounding good! Holy crap! Why is Joe Perry playing w/ Tom Jones? LOL Cool!

Duran Duran rocked it out. I've only watched about half the show so far but liked Lily Allen and Nelly Furtado too. The ballet was a nice touch. I think it's been a wonderful tribute to Diana. I was especially touched by the opening with Elton John and the photo montage behind him.

I about died when Sarah Brightman walked out looking gorgeous as ever though I wish they had picked a different song to showcase her voice. oh well. I love Rod Stewart. why? he's just so much fun. it's like all of a sudden I'm smiling and don't even realize it.

everyone's been pretty good. I don't really get Kanye and Diddy, but ok.

I loved the home videos at the very end of the concert.

Coincidentally, Diana's brother was at my kids school yesterday to open the 40th anniversary celebrations. We're only about 10 mins away from Althorp.

I think all the acts I saw did well. But i was at the George Michael concert a few weeks ago and there was definitely a better atmosphere there than there seemed to be here. I thought this crowd was quite subdued.

Just got done watching it. Thought it was a great thing to do.

OH - - - nothing! . . . .

I just watched it "live" on NBC and enjoyed it a lot. I mostly liked Rod Stewart's and Elton John's performances. I would have liked to have seen Elton John performing "Candle in the Wind" but I think maybe that got edited for time. If that's so, I think it's a lousy job of editing.

He has the same mannerisms and class that she had! I met him at Althorp while touring the grounds in the summer of 1998 (it was the first week that it was open to the public for ticket sales) and although he didn't expect for anyone to see him and his son that day while he was home, he took several minutes to talk to each one of us and thank us on behalf of his sister for our contribution to her memorial fund.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I cried at every "Diana and Me" video clip...and ESPECIALLY at the end with her family home videos! It was some of the same reels of film they show at her exhibit at home. It was such an experience to recognize the grounds in the videos and photos of her childhood.

I only wish that Chris Deburgh (spelling?) were there to sing "Lady in Red" as it was said to be a fave of hers as well and it reminds me of her everytime...along with the song "SHE" by Elvis Costello. It makes me all teary-eyed again to think of her dancing with John Travolta that time when they first met...

He was asked to perform it again by the princes, but I understand why he chose not to do so...as he did say that he never would be able to perform it again after the funeral.

However, the buzz going around was that George Michael would duet with EJ on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on me", but I am assuming that they were having technical difficulties with the satellite hookup that I heard they were trying to set up from GM's show in Helsinki.
Don't know how true that is...especially since some acts that were rumored to be there didn't come after all.

It was a good show. I loved Duran Duran, Elton, Nelly Furtado looked great, I loved Roger Hodgson because I haven't heard those songs for a long, long time. Diana's sons grew up to be alot like her. She must be looking down on them and smiling
