Concert for Diana - BBC


Very odd this was. In terms of giving publicity to some very needy charities that Diana was involved in, it did a very good job. In terms of an event, it all seemed a bit too sterile and hooray henry. The days where big events impress due to sheer numbers of acts are long gone. Few acts were fantastic, most felt rushed, and Elton's finale seemed to be cut off in its prime. Fergie, Orson and The Feeling felt like they were there down to some record company push. The Andrew Lloyd Webber medley was pretty good, the highlight for me. If it gets repeated in a highlights show, this is JM THUMBS DOWN.
