Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I've enjoyed hearing the DJs enjoying themselves on the radio coverage today, it really must be like Reading and Leeds feeling this year with the lovely weather and they seem to all be so happy and excited despite all their years in the music business. I loved Jo's description of her dress as grey and silky and "very forgiving", Too. I just watched Usher on Red Button, he was excellent despite mic difficulties. Not really my type of music but he is a really good artist and so professional.I was wondering what everyone else is enjoying on the TV and Radio coverage? I'm looking forward to BBC3 at 7pm, have even SKY+'d Doctor Who so I can watch the Big Weekend - hows that for dedication!

Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Loving Zane, Edith and Jo talking about toe hair, then Madonna. Quote UM is a nice place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 The girl drummers are a nice touch on "Who's that Girl" - I definitely want to watch and/or hear Robyn's full set if possible. Quote UM is a nice place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Oooo - saw a bit of Duffy on BBC 3 - should be on the red button coverage Zane said - I'm definitely switching back to that later. Also I can't miss Madonna at 9.30. That should be very interesting. Anyone else watching? Quote UM is a nice place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Watching Madonna now - I hadn't realised she could play the guitar. She certainly looks very physically fit.The staging of her numbers is as good as anything you'd see anywhere, I realise this is in big part down to Madonna herself but I'm sure the effects couldn't have been accomplished as well if it wasn't for the excellent work of the BBC.

Nikki 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 ah what a shame no Justin. I have to say I really enjoyed the set. It would have made it more special if Mr Mills could have added a bit of brass:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono 59 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Duffy was probably the one artist that didn't attract a huge audience for the main stage.Just checking out red button coverage right now of the Fratellis - strange thinking I was in that venue.

Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I know what you mean Jono I had that feeling last year, and even now watching them on TV I can't really relate to having seen them live. They tend to get a big sing along atmosphere going which feels really good, but then watching it back it seems a bit different without the togetherness of the crowd. I'm watching Editors on red button now - they're excellent! I hadn't realised how good they are live. Quote UM is a nice place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTutsWWH 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 What was the best part of the day Jono? I really enjoyed Ting Tings and Madonna on t' telly. Thanks for your coverage btw. Shame about the photos. Did you actually get a chance to speak to Scott today? Quote 'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

Shame about the photots. Did you actually get a chance to speak to Scott today?A LOT of people left when Madonna had done a few songs. I left too as it was dark and quite cold. Highlights for me was the Mills vs Lowe sound clash, Ting Tings and celebrity spotting as my Twitter page shows!Yes I did speak to Scott in the guest area but he seemed to be stopped by so many I left him to it. Apparently I'm on his interviews list tomorrow. Looking forward to getting to go to the press area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monitorabbit 10 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I'm gutted to have missed seeing Jo dressed as a banana, I hope that will be repeated at some point. If not I'll have to hunt for it on Youtube. I hope you have a great time in the Press area tomorrow Jono - I can't wait to read the stories and interviews you're going to send us. PS I'd like you to give Scott my love, thank you please. 8) Quote UM is a nice place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
