..perhaps dedicating the proceeds from the sale of one of your bling diamond rings to the African Childrens Choir would resonate more than any of your "aren't they cute?", "Bring me a mike stand!" and promotion of your new record protestations?

Ooops - Am I out of step with the ethos of this event?

dmc1980

So would I, but it looks like someone beat me to dragging her through a hedge backwards and hit her a few times with a spade!

NotoriousREV

"bring me a mike stand, ha ha ha"

30 secs later (through gritted teeth)

"can I get that mike stand?"

30 sec after that:

"if you can't get me a mike stand that's OK" but you're soooo fired when I get off stage

Don't know what she was doing there in the first place.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was incensed by her dragging on the african childrens choir, only to have her favourite, who she walked right past while trying to locate him, say "hello" in african
What a patronising woman. I was gobsmacked when I realised that they weren't even going to do a number, perhaps they should have been down at the eden project, along with all the other ethnics!
Got to say though, she has a fine pair of lungs, and I personally thought she belted out the best tune on the day

Mariah Carey,i only wish she had sung "without you" you'd all be eating your words.a demanding diva,yes.............but boy can she sing.

Thats why she is the best selling female artist of the 20th century with 230 million records.

SD

So why did Richard Branson basically pay her millions of dollars to fu.ck off and shut her cake-hole?

paulr

I havent a clue what you are on about.

SD

She was bought out of her 'music' contract. Told she was rubbish and to toddle off. She signed with someone else and still sounds like a load of cats stuck in a room with ajm.

paulr

Watch it again then tell me she cant sing..............

SD

I did an hour or so ago on the AOL webcast. She genuinely doesn't do anything for me with that voice...

paulr

Fair do.
On the BBC site she got a poor review,but i just cant see it myself.I've just watched it again and her voice is fantastic.

Her reputation precedes her,thats the trouble.

SiPie

Paulr

Some stats to prove you do indeed (allegedly) have some taste after all, they also prove that the world in general is one seriously fecked up place

Personally I can't stand her and I think you'll find that Michael Jackson's stats are equally as impressive

Each to their own I guess
