I saw him in 2017 at Glasto and he had a great stage presence, I am not surprised at the praise for his performance last night, he did himself a massive credit.Quote:

I love watching Glasto. on the TV and I have in recent times watched bands I know little of, stuff like Stormzy, The Killers , Foo Fighters etc and stuck with it mostly as the crowd reaction and participation is riveting to watch, and after all variety is the spice of life. Stormzy had a lot going on that I didn`t understand at times, but that is due to my age but that did not spoil my enjoyment at all of a man plying his trade and is deserving of any plaudits that came his way. He had something to say, in many ways, and has left his mark as the first male solo black Briton to headline at Glasto. Well done to him.Quote:

We can all say someone is rubbish but nobody can tell us why
The cream will always rise to the top if someone hasn't made it they just weren't good enough.
For me Stormzy doesn't have the catalogue to do a massive show like this but the alternative is just bringing the same old names.
Glastonbury has changed a lot and some people don't like it. Live music isn't for me personally so I've never been a fan of it
Can someone translate this for me, please?Quote:

It seems to me that he filled his performance with visual effects and other people such as the choir, loads of dancers and even BMX bike riders to distract from the fact he had no talent all in my opinion of course. Glastonbury is not only for young people so I was surprised to see so many older people watching Stormzy in the crowd. Not for me though although I did watch it.
It's the most important qualification and always has been.Quote:

Some people get more than upset, there's a bunch of real psychos on here! This place certainly isn't the Oxford Union debating chamber, and most posters wouldn't know a debate if it hit them in the face. They are experts at insults and personal attacks though :thumbup:Quote:

She was awful, but Liam Gallagher was atrocious. I like some of Stormzy’s stuff but Vossi Bop is garbage. I’ve been to Glastonbury three times and always preferred the smaller stages. Last time I went, in 2013, the best acts I saw were Laura Mvula, Phoenix and Whimwise. I had no interest in seeing the headliners who were Mumford and Sons, and the Rolling Stones.Quote:

I took my own “supplies” in but saw very few drug casualties and smelt no weed being smoked at all. How times have changed - the first time I went, in 1990, (jumping over the fence) I got wasted as a beautiful hippy girl gave me some LSD for free!
think the fact stormzy was here to make it more diverse severncity as we know it's the BBC agenda these days . onto the music looking forward to the cure tomorrow . last saw them in 1991 in Toronto !
What is wrong with people? Pop music was named because it was popular. Stormzy is presently massive. I don’t like his music but love old hip hop from the 80s. At 41 I discovered it 10-15 years too late and never got into it from Snoop Dogg, Nate Dog era. Loved Oasis, Manics, Stereos but nothing today appeals so I really don’t listen to much. But Who am I to say who should headline Glastonbury? A festival should evolve along with the industry it supports. If a lot of people love Stormzy and want to hear him then let it be and good luck to the guy. I hate the attitude that as you age you know best. Christ, listening to half the people on this MB is why I rarely tune in. I’d rather know what my 10 year old nephew is doing and thinks.
a crock of shit:thumbup:Quote:

Stuck with the Stormzy playlist to the end though and added three tracks to the one I listen to on Spotify every day - one which I'm proud to say is a lot more diverse than those of most people of my age so I'm told.
Thanks, I'll give it a listen this afternoon.Quote:

All the straight middle aged white men fuming about the Women’s World Cup and Stormzy at Glastonbury are just mad because it wasn't speaking directly to them.
They're so used to culture and sport being made for them, they have a meltdown when it isn't. The world has changed, for the better. Get over it FFS.
I await the misogynistic replies to prove my point.
Not here, I’m on your side :thumbup:Quote:

I suppose if woman and ethnic groups hadn't been so badly treated over the past 50 years or so then it wouldn't be so much of a shock to see them playing football on the TV or headlining Glastonbury. This MB has gone downhill over recent years, a few old racists, misogynists and one absolute crackpot are spoiling it.Quote:

Marr in particular was outstanding, he really is one cool dude compared to that colossal 🛎 end Morrissey.
I enjoyed Sheryl Crow. Accomplished songwriter and band knocking out the hits and working the crowd with consummate ease.Quote:
