You haven't seen her play at Glasto etc if you think there's no presence. No denying the Kate Bush influence, but that's no bad thing, not trying to be something she's not like Madge, eh?

Also the Machine does exist, but the lineup evolves sometimes, not even her best friend Isa has been a constant presence in the band... Just keep showing how little you know.

Wonder if florence will be around for three decades, continually evolving, never standing still, and always knowing what to do. nah, i shd imagine florence will drop dead after a quick shop at TESCO. #everylittlereallydoesnothelp

You think Madge is 'continually evolving'? More like trying desperately to be 'cool' because her old material doesn't cut it anymore. Compare to someone like Debbie Harry who still tours and hasn't changed a thing, hasn't felt the need to update because her material had a timeless quality that Madonna's never did.

Florence and won't NEED to change or find something else to do because some record company exec tells her it's 'cool', she'll do things HER way and not be brainwashed thank you very much.

Same reasons that even with all the money she's made, she is still humble unlike the overrated insane yank, still even sleeps on a mattress on the floor in her mum's living room (on the rare occasions she's actually AT home, and not working hard or touring).

Compare to Madonna who now she's no longer married to a film director feels the need to grab attention at every opportunity, even adopting 'orphans' not for their good, but for her own PR good (same reason she's doing the Superbowl tomorrow night, a part of the show many are expecting to suck ass, by the way).

So yes, she is still around, but what's the point when she's a shadow of what she was in the 80s? Feel free to keep getting the word wrong too ;)

As even one of M's own brothers said, she is a marketing genius. self promotion expert, with talent to back it up. expert in timing all her moves, and getting it right. i give belch two years max, and she's dead in the water.

Well her 'brothers' would say that now, wouldn't they... By those terms, Jordan is also a marketing genius... well, her agent is, but you wouldn't want that skank around these days either, she has to keep pulling little stunts to keep mindless masses happy too.

You won't get rid of Flo (or her peers such as Adele, come to think of it) that easily, not when she had 2 years between albums, returned and was much missed)

No Nicki Minaj (whoever she is, I actually don't know or care), was PAID to say she loves her, probably part of the same record company. Surely being a Madonna fan, you know how sponsorship/whoring works? Thanks for proving one point though, she's only doing anything for attention and cash.

Yes, of course everyone is "paid". same way many peeps will be paid to say they love belch. madonna would never lower her perfect standards to appear on xfactor. so, madonna makes lots o cash... That's just a great business lady. or perhaps you are just bitter because you will never aspire to such greatness. god knows why madonna is apparently v nervous about the superbowl and costume malfunctions, because nobody prepares better, whilst making it look like it took five mins.

you ain't gonna like this, but I'm with Viv on this one. Florence and her machine are dreadful, unfortunately anyone can buy music these days including those with no taste which is why her albums do so well. Its also why we have so much bilge in the charts these days

Not impressed with censorship

Seriously, if we all stop comparing everything to Madonna, would the world be a better place? I think so.

Florence has genuine talent, as does Adele, as does loads of artists around at the moment. It's just the not so talented ones that people judge music by, then say that everyone who's in the charts are crap.

Good line up except for florence. there is always that spanner in the works, i guess. i am a bit concerned that hackney want a "handling fee" from listeners. What do we pay licence fee for?!?

Well, I'm guessing that because it's such a bug event, then they need something for handling.If this was any other concert, you wouldn't be moaning. Don't you moan enough about the licence fee? Surely this is so that people who aren't going don't have to pay as much for it as the people who are...:rolleyes:

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
