She is absolutely superb. I've never been either, but she was very entertaining on TV. I did follow her back - imagine if this was true :D

Miley Cyrus was surprisingly good I thought, wouldn't normally have crossed the street to see her but was a powerful, if rather potty mouthed performance.

I agree with yourself and conyoviejo.

Kylie was the best though but both very good.

I saw them in ‘89 as well, at the Loreley Festival. Supported by The Mission, Sugarcubes and The Pixies (Doolittle had been released the month before!)

They were at the height of their powers. Was lucky to bump into Robert Smith in Heathrow a few years ago and he said The Prayer Tour had been his favourite one.

4 times, though not since 2014 (I've tried for tickets each subsequent year but haven't been lucky).

I never watch the coverage as it's not as good as the real deal.

Yeah right, MJ did a lot of great music, had tons of fans, made loads of $$$$$$, left a massive musical legacy [and yes the other stuff before someone mentions it..allegedly]...she'll be hoping for some of that.

I’m sure she is and to be honest, good luck to her if she does. But all the hype she gets is ridiculous. She really could be singing over his old backing tracks - she even nicked the dance moves.

Just got back from another amazing 6 days at Glastonbury. There is music from every genre; pop to punk, poetry to every variety of dance music before you even get to bands covered on Tv on the main stages.

Music from early morning until well.... early morning. Not just dance stuff, one minute it’s techno or house then a brass band or IDLES in the South East Corner in the early hours.

Too hot Saturday though :shock:
