VoicesCarry said: unique said: it certainly looked like it 2 me, at least backing tapes, u cant cant dance like that and sing like she did. the thing about an act like madonna is that it doesnt really matter if she sings live or not as her show is all about the act and dancing, like michael jacksons both could do small intimate stripped down "unplugged" style showcases and b good, as they have the back catalogue, in fact if mj wanted 2 restart his career, an elvis 68 comeback special type thing with an intimate live performace of singing rather than dancing, would b the trick i kinda half thought mj wouldve turned up and introduced some1 they had bill gates 4 fucks sake, i thought he was going 2 announce the longhorn release date. i wonder what steve jobs was thinking Madonnna was live. She wasn't even doing strenuous dance moves, and she usually doesn't even mime to those on her own tours. [Edited 7/3/05 8:14am] Exactly, Madonna did very minimal dancing. She just shook her hips and did little movements when the music was playing. | |

Madonna was live; Ray of Light was in a different key than it was on the record, she was totally off on the scream part, and she sang the wrong lyrics at the end of the song. Plus, she had a real band there. Stuart Price was there playing the guitar, in addition to the rest of the band.
I'm not even a Madonna diehard, but some people go to such ridiclious lengths to undermine anything the woman does. I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Green Day for singing Queen's music  | |

I wonder why Prince doesnt get involved with these things. I can kindof understand it for the original Live Aid because his ego was over-inflated back then and perhaps he didnt want to mix with everuone else
But since then he's constandly played the race card and related his situation back to Africans (ie the whole Slave issue, Family Name, Avalanche, the Moures etc) I though now, of all periods in his life, he would want to be involved...even if with Stevie Wonder for one track...what message would that send, one of the most respected and largest artist giving his time for free to a worthy cause.....for a peopel who he seems only too keen to link himslef with to make a point about his career and treatment. what a shame | |

About miming,
Mariah Carey mimed the last part of her new single,
she was hilarious. I still dunno if she's a camp comedy genious or just plain stupid.. & she had a miming african children's choir: "THIS IS A REAL AFRICAN CHILDREN'S CHOIR, They're AFRICAN! Yes, AFRICAN! AFRICAN ORPHANS!" 'Hero': "I NEED A MIKE STAND"..(no response) "IT'S COOL IF I DON'T GET A MIKE STAND" And u gotta love this one, very appropriate indeed: "THIS IS MY MASEUSE"  ...Your coochie gonna swell up and fall apart... | |

I was at Hyde Park in London...Robbie sang We Will Rock You! I saw a piece of it. My mom made me miss the rest, she wanted to listen to her R.E.M. They were singing "We Are the Champions" I think they sang another song by QUEEN. A lot of people think Robbie butchered the song. | |

I was just on the www.bjork.com site where they have two downloads from Live 8 ready ~ Paul McCartney and U2 ~~~Sgt. Pepper and The Long and Winding Road.Proceeds go to charity with the amount approximately 1.80 US per song. Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

she didnt sing anything but she mimed 2 like a prayer, ray of light and music she was the only person in london bar snoop without a real band i cant believe folks were saying she was the best thing there, those folks obviously werent at the gig 1st biggest singalong song was y does it always rain on me by travis when snoop came on, i was surprised how mental ppl went, and he set a new world record 4 saying motherfucker and shit on live peak time saturday nite bbc1 tv, they didnt bleep anything i hear! robbie williams drew the biggest reaction and shouts, he was really great, opening with we will rock u the peter kay overlong moment was pretty bad, however he introduced the spice girls jokingly and then the who played 2 full length great tracks and omitted my generation thank god, great song but not very appropriate lyrically, they did who are you, and something else i cant remember the names, and really rocked the best moment 4 me was pink floyd tho, the gig just seemed like all the best artists in the world wanted 2 come 2 london and b warm up 4 the long awaited floyd reunion at the end macca did a great little set, its a shame george michaels voice was shot as i'm sure he was going 2 duet with miss dynamite on judgement day again (like the brit awards but live - she mentioned a big duet in an interview, but it didnt happen, likewise mariah carey was 2 duet and wanted 2 do it with george) the hey jude at the end was also cool, i never thought i'd c the real pink floyd onstage with pink floyd himself (bob geldof), macca, george michael, mariah carey, the who, etc - i don't think robbie joined the finale and wtf was pete docherty on? that was funny as fuck! Madonna was singing live. I am not a big fan, but I was impressed with Like A Prayer and if you heard Ray of Light...that was when you knew she was singing live...she totally missed a high note...but isn't that what singing live is all about? I rather hear her miss an occasional high note, than listen to a tape. Also, Pink Floyd rocked! Wish they could patch things up an do one last tour with Roger Waters...but Waters said this was a one time gig for a worthy cause. Too bad. | |

Here's usually a dead giveaway in a "Live" show setting with crowds of this magnitude. If you're hearing audio with absolutely ZERO ambient crowd noise...it's MEMOREX. I got this impression during Laura Pausini's (Rome) first song. Either that or the performer has bored the crowd into a state of catatonia. tA  Tribal Disorder

Fav performances (based on those i've seen completely).
In order of preference... *Pink Floyd The historic component gets them the #1 spot. Along with the fact that they were able to pull it off and sound good doing it. *Sting The dual guitars take him out of wimpy-mode and gave the arrangements some balls. Every Breath You Take was staged to go to the heart of what Live8 is supposed to be about. *Sir Paul McCartney Longevity, still seems to genuinely enjoy performing and the band kicked. It's amazing that he can still sing those songs as well as he does. Love the drummer! *Zucchero (Paris stage) Great performance of Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime. *Stevie Wonder The annoying Rob Thomas appearance pushes him down the list. *Sir Elton John Don't care what you think about Sir Elton, he can still play that piano and that MF band rocks! *Mariah Carey For being able to see Randy "Dawg" Jackson back on the bass again. *Madonna Not a fan, but I did get into the "Music" segment of the set. Wanna sees... *Roxy Music The short segment i've been able to catch didn't sound very Avalon-like. *Cerrone/Nile Rodgers Did they actually perform? ***Props to the Paris/Rome/Berlin/Toronto stages in general for presenting some acts i'd never heard before. tA Tribal Disorder

Highlights for me were:
Robbie Williams What can you say? The guy is just a star performer who can have a crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. The Who OK, so it's only Roger and Pete left, but to hear Won't Get Fooled Again live was a dream come true for me Paul McCartney Never been a fan of his, but to hear those Beatles songs played live by the guy who wrote them is pretty special Faithless on satellite were awesome too. | |

katt said: Madonna did sing live most of the music was backing tracks (thats 2 be expected with this type of event) Actually the music was completely live.....that is what is pissing me off about her current band, they always sound like a backing track because its all samples, even the drum beats are samples, nonetheless its all played live. She really needs to get a great band back, like she had on The Girlie Show. She doesn't even have a bassist in her current line up, thats disgraceful. BTW, I thought she put in a good performance. I've seen her give better, and worse, and i thought she sounded nervous in Like A Prayer, however the Madonna of 15 years ago would have torn that stage up, this was a competent performance. I thought Annie Lennox was stunning. | |
