On Saturday I’m going down to London for the princess Diana concert at Wembley Stadium. I was reading the newspaper today and it has been confirmed that Brian May will be playing along side Joss Stone for the song Under Pressure. It should be a great concert and hopefully Brian will play a few more songs. Hopefully Roger will be playing along side him. XD Btw it’s my birthday today!!!! XD |
| magicalfreddiemercury 28.06.2007 16:28 |
Happy Birthday!! What a way to end a birthday week, yes? Enjoy the concert! |

Thank god Brian didn't turn up for that shitty rendition of Under Pressure. |
| dobo 01.07.2007 13:51 |
well so far the concert has sucked like you wouldnt believe the only good thing so far was status quo and even they wernt that good |
| .DeaconJohn. 01.07.2007 14:07 |
I've watched a bit of it, and it's frankly embarrasing - the presenters are trying to hype it up to something that it's not. And the UP rendition was awful; whatever they did to the arrangement turned it into the most forgettable song ever. I think it's one big non-event really. The best act so far was the guy from Supertramp. |

There seem to be a number of empty seats. Perhaps people left when they realised how bad the performances are. |
| .DeaconJohn. 01.07.2007 14:10 |
It just lacks any real atmosphere. I think the lack of big names appearing kinda shows what a non event it is. I don't think we'll get Pink Floyd reforming for this one folks ;-) |
| teleman 01.07.2007 14:23 |
They should have had The Wiggles open the show and had them explain to the crown how to clap in time. Non-event of the year. |

The Wiggles would of been a lot better than what is on at the moment some shamble of a concert, can't really blame Brian for not wanting a part of it |

I liked the fact that they used 'Days Of Our Lives' for the ending. |
| QueenTaylor 01.07.2007 20:32 |
they did show Brian and Roger on the concert though-when they showed Status Quo clip at Live Aid and Princess Diana came out. She walked into the crowd and Brian and Roger were sitting right behind her! |

Did anyone think it was bad taste for Elton John to show pictures of himself during his last songs when it was supposed to be a concert for Diana? |

Well, I was watching snippets of the concert. Duran Duran were good, so was Joss Stone w/ Tom Jones, Elton John wasn't bad, other than that, it wasn't as great as I'd thought it'd be. Prince William is SOOOOOOOO hot though. |
| QueenMercury46 02.07.2007 00:36 |
The Wiggles would have been 10x better than P. Diddy or Kanye West. |

My favorites were Duran Duran, Joss Stone and Elton John. The rest were stinkers to be honest, expecially Lily Allen(pretty much what i expected). And thanks to P.Diddy Daddy Doody for putting all the rapcliches in one performance. |

I liked the Joesph and the Technicoloured Dreamcoat performance I thought that was very good! Especially having the three of them - Donny Osmond, Jason Donovan and the other winner guy perform! lol |

Hi all, I got back from London yesterday and what a great weekend. The security at Wembley was extremely tight. Everybody was searched before entering the stadium so it took quite a while to fill up. The security was tight inside aswell – lids taken off bottles of water etc. The concert itself was absolutely amazing. The stadium was split in two halves – Prince Harry’s side and Prince William’s side. I was on Prince William’s side and we were told that we were the better side for clapping, cheering, Mexican wave etc. The atmosphere was electric and Rod Stewart got the biggest ovation of the night. In my opinion he should have finished the concert instead of Elton John. A lot of people started to leave because they were fed up of waiting for Elton to come on stage. Also, a lot of people expected Elton to sing ‘Candle in the Wind’. There were no bad performers but the only one I disliked was Joss Stone but not because of singing Under Pressure – I just don’t like her or her voice. Other than that it was perfect. And now I’ve got front row tickets for Russell Brand in Liverpool on Sunday :p |

Oi, Freddie89, you better take lots of pictures tonight and show me them and also, tell me if he's still doing the same jokes as the 'Shame' tour, because I'm seeing him soon too and I can only hear the Tamara Beckwith story so many times.. |
