Rose-Colored Boy Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 (edited) 9 minutes ago, panasonic2011 said: Do you think she has a cold or something? Sounds a bit naff on tv Sound mix is pretty crap which doesn’t help. Dolly/Lionel/Kylie smashing it and raising expectations sky-high was probably the worst thing that could possibly have happened to the Legends Slot in the long run. Diana Ross’ mixed reception two years ago should’ve cooled things off a bit and reset the meter, but apparently not.

Scotdy Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 If you had seen any live videos of her this year, you knew it would be bad.... But that was garbage 🚮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewUnion Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Absolute dogs dinner on TV. Vocals sound bad, the "flash mod" security dance war dreadful. Sound mix in TV is bad. Worst legend in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 I felt she's a few big songs short of making it really work. Her two biggest songs bookended her set and the audience seemed rather flat throughout, until the last song really got them going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloopFiller Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Thought she was great. Obviously she’s got those three songs that get the big reactions, but thought it was all decent and great vibes throughout tbh. Getting out the crowd afterwards did Avril, though, was insane.

doogie Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Shania sounded great from where I was in the pit. Lulu would have been a better legend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Yeah the mix for Shania was much better in the field. Sounded great there, I had a really good time. Her vocal issues are quite well documented - she had an illness which completely destroyed her voice, had to have vocal surgery and learn to sing from scratch. She's said that it's a difficult decision about whether to mime and sound closer to the recordings or do it live but sound how she now does. I much prefer a live rough vocal than a clean mimed one, fair play to her for carrying on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted July 4 Author Report Share Posted July 4 Vocals were undoubtedly not the crystal clear pitch of 20 years ago, but if you set that to one side she got it spot on. Bit of an odd decision to arrive with a platoon of dancers and other paraphernalia at the start and then have them disappear for the rest of the show - and they also should have connected up SZA's ego ramp for her and Janelle Monae to use. But otherwise, fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindTheLongdrop Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I ddin't mind the set but I will say Shania was lucky that Cyndi sounded even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I really enjoyed it. I think I knew more songs than many having listened to her Greatest Hits album back in 05 time, so I knew Up, I'm Gonna Getcha and Forever and Always, plus some others like Come on Over and Don't be Stupid. Also forgot she did From This Moment On, which sounded huge. Then the atmosphere for the last song, along with her obvious love for the place and excitement about the set made for a really enjoyable show. We got lucky that we ran ahead of the crowd to get a spot for Avril, so got both sets back to back from a good position. One of my favourite Sundays at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrainertje Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 This part of Glastonbury always confuses me, as a non-regular (and non-UK citizen). Someone like Shania Twain getting crowds this size. In Belgium, these are the kind of smaller artists that wouldn't even be considered by big majors festivals like Rock Werchter and would be booked by a nostalgia fest where there would be around 1000 people. Same with someone like Cyndi Lauper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
