Glastonbury 22

Diana’s voice has utterly gone. I can actually sing better than that and I’m shit.

She never could sing she was always a terrible singer, that current song is total shit they've done something to her voice on a computer to make it sound 'current' but it's just shit basically.

The Supremes were way better without her.

Just flipped over to her now, Upside Down sounding pretty good, nice tight band. I’m off to Snarky Puppy soon though.

Berry Gordy's favourite.

Berry Gordy's favourite.

Indeed.

Watching her now it's painful.

Had a quick listen to Ross to see if I was missing out....nup.....can she actually sing? Back to streaming the Raga Twins.

 

[Weekender]

She had "star quality"* and the high thin voice cut through on transistor radios. That's the best I can come up with. Outside close treatment in the studio it could never cut it.
*and Berry saw that...and crossover appeal.

Enjoyed Nubya, chilled sunny sunday afternoon sway along. Couple of nice nods to some influences (I guess!) too.

Diana Ross had to turn off. Trying hard but struggling to sing in tune. Going down well with the crowd though.

Still got it I reckon - I'll be happy to look that good when I get to 78

The band are amazing she's basically talking the songs, the crowd are loving it though.

Now there's someone who can sing, the backing singers are brilliant.

 

[Tony L]

Snarky Puppy are very good. Any one who enjoyed Herbie or Nubya earlier should tune back in.

 

[flapland]

Snarky Puppy are very good.

Yes enjoying this. Not someone I knew of until today, but will do more digging in the next day or so.

They're played a lot on Jazz FM.

 

[Weekender]

Never heard Snarky P.
Ideal Sunday afternoon sunshine in a field music.

 

[Weekender]

Would segue nicely into Donald Fagen doing a Nightfly set.

 

[Wolfmancatsup]

The Supremes were way better without her.

Indeed. Nathan Jones is still my favourite Supremes single.

I love all of the Supremes stuff and Motown in general, I was brought up with it, I have three older sisters and Motown was never off in my house growing up.

Snarky Puppy, a good example of why people who accuse Glastonbury of being all packaged up commercial guff aren't really paying attention.

The Supremes wouldn’t have had the success without Diana Ross & she had quite a successful solo career She’s not my thing but people want to see her, a proper icon.
