Glastonbury 2023

[Rachey]

Britney could have sung this better

 

[COB]

Will this be a duet with

Britney could have sung this better

Britney could have stood nearby whilst the backing track sang this better.

 

[Rachey]

Did I just see Kate Hudson?

 

[GNL]

None of these are WORDS, Elton.

 

[Iguana]

IIIIDILLDANDIN

Yay!

 

[VoR]

I love Sabadah naahts arbrght frr fasrtin!

 

[Sheena]

God I fucking love I’m Still Standing. I wish he’d end on it, though. Because that was so good.

 

[Iguana]

When was Britney last SEEN, please?

 

[jivafox]

SING HER PART?

 

[Ellie]

Is this necessary? Just do Sacrifice.

 

[dmlaw]

Rina Sawayama charges the stage announcing that she knows the words.

Spoiler: She doesn’t.

 

[dmlaw]

This had better not mean that we aren’t getting Rocket Man OR Sacrifice.

 

[Beverley]

Elton’s lips are so weird

 

[Rachey]

I love a good crowd participation!

 

[Rachey]

I hope he does It's A Sin.

 

[Sheena]

Is this necessary? Just do Sacrifice.

It would kill the audience- I was thinking earlier how he couldn’t do it unless it was this or a remix.

Rocket Man, on the other hand…

 

[Beverley]

She was EXACTLY like this when I saw her about a month ago. Send her to the knacker’s yard!

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m impressed so many knew the lyrics.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Paul McCartney is watching backstage.

 

[Iguana]

Elton’s lips are so weird

After this I'm going to have nightmares about him licking them thrice within a second.

 

[dmlaw]

He’s done almost all of his usual set closers. Bring out George Michael for ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’.

 

[dmlaw]

They’re going to be using that Scottish accent on the independence literature.

 

[Ellie]

George

CLOSE

 

[GNL]

RIP St George

 

[Ellie]

Nothing will beat the George Michael version. Would have been lovely to “duet” on it with GM on the screen.

 

[Ellie]

Now thinking of what we lost and how a George Michael headliner would have gone down

 

[COB]

Hope he brings out Shatner for this

 

[VoR]

Imagine if Kate had wandered out with her Ukelele, done a few backing vocals to that and then staggered off again

 

[ButterTart]

I know the diction isn't great, or even in any way evident, but for a 134 year old woman Elton still has a decent voice.

It’s a shame she won’t use it

 

[ButterTart]

It’s a shame she won’t use it

I sat through the Arctic Monkeys, Elton is Natasha Hamilton by comparison.

 

[ButterTart]

For the record, my favourites of everyone I've watched this weekend have been Kelis, Cat Stevens, Guns N Roses and Dickie Astley.

 

[dmlaw]

Is he really finishing with a noodly piano bit? Sing ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’.

 

[Sheena]

You’ve got to be fair to him, he read a festival crowd exactly right. With the exception of that weird hot boy interlude, that is. It was otherwise wall to wall bangers and nothing later than 1990 except Cold Heart, right?

Yeah, he knew what he was there to do. Contrast that with Arctic Monkeys playing for their own benefit and just expecting people to enjoy it.

They played a couple of songs from their new album. I don’t think that’s wholly unreasonable. The only really big hit that they skipped was ‘When The Sun Goes Down’ and they haven’t played that since 2014.

Ah nice end to Glastonbury with Elton John He could have done a few other songs, but most were good/fitting overall. My favourite song of his is probably Your Song .
Interesting seeing Debbie Harry of Blondie performing there should be a Moopy emoji of her
For Yusuf/Cat Stevens, his cover of Morning Has Broken is my favourite, and I gladly watched the whole of the set earlier on today
