Royal Variety Performance
 

Just a reminder - I read in the tv listings that Meat Loaf is on BBC1 tonight for the Royal Variety show.

Thank's for the reminder!

Thanks; especially since it one of the few English tv channels we can see on dutch cable ;)

Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten all about it. :oops:

Jeez, this king arthur musical bit that is on now, is perhaps the worst musical show I have ever seen on any television station on this planet.

I agree...but at least they've redeemed themselves with three tap dancing Billy Elliot's....:roll: :evil: :evil:

Songs from the West End musicals taken out of context, more often than not sound far worse then they do in the shoiw, and couple that with eh Python style humour of the lyrics and I guess you either loved it or hated it.

Well!!!

BAAB...fabulous, loved it, everything about it, just mega. Dead Ringer....a lot better than I expected, well done to Jamelia, although I'm now sat missing Patti even more.

Overall, f*****g mega!

Yeah gotta hand it to the man, quite a good performance.
Jamelia was pretty damn good on Dead Ringer I thought.

Thought Meat's lip synching to BAAB was perfect and the ad lib bits at the end were very clever - made the whole thing appear to be live, although we know it wasn't.

Loved Dead Ringer too. The other acts were really dreadful. Now that Meat's been on I don't need to suffer it anymore :mrgreen:

Nice one Meat, great performance!!!!! And now I know who Jamelia is as well.

The best thing about The Royal Variety Performance is that they always showcase new and upcoming comedy acts and every now and again one makes me laugh and tonight was no exception, laugh??? I nearly died!!!!!!! It was a touch of sheer comedy GENIUS to put a microphone in Katie Price's hand and tell her to sing, a good job I taped Meat as he was half way through BAAB before I could see straight!!!!!!

I taped it too:))!

Meat, if you read this you did a fantastic job!
I loved every minute of it, it's ashame Jamellia fluffed up on one of the lines.
But BAAB was amazing!

:heart:

And if I'm not mistaken...let's hear it for Meat Loaf who is the only performer so far not to bow for the Royals LOL!!!

Meat did a cool job lip synching to BAAB, would've been nicer hearing the actual band though, especially for Dead Ringer. They went very out of time for about 3 lines at one stage, Jamelia had to pull them back into it. I wouldn't blame Meat though, his band play it much better live, slowing down at certain lines that he had to rush through tonight

Cool seein him on tv again!

Great perfomance Loved BAAB Meat should be on at the end again for the national anthem and the line up!!

I loved BAAB and thought Dead Ringer was good. Great to see him
on telly.

Can you please quit bitching about every performer Meat sings with, you did the same with Katharine McPhee, give it a rest already. Jamelia just had surgery a couple of days prior, I think she did OK considering.

Besides, didn't Meat fluff his line first which might have caused Jamelia to fluff hers?

Pud :twisted:

:lmao:!!!

I didn't notice that!!!

:lmao:!

Go Meat:)) !

I thought BAAB was excellent my wife thought he was singing it live. I thought Jamelia gave it a good shot and between them gave a good performance.
Really good overall performance top class. :D

I thought that was rather a good performance!

As an American he doesn't have to.

Video file is now compressing for all those who missed it. unfortunately i missed the truly eloquent introduction by Peter Andre and Jordan.

really enjoyed BAAB, don't go much on jamelia or whatever her name was.

could have sworn at least the last part of BAAB was live.

haha.

I noticed that
I was shouting at the telly.
'MEAT BOW, CMON BOW'
haha.
but Charles wont mind.
maybe thats what they were laughing at in the picture.

Thank Christ you missed Peter and Jordan, not only are they a bloody nightmare but it was hideously out of tune!

I did enjoy Blind as a Bat, but then I would as it's one of my favourites! Dead Ringer was good too. Shame the band couldn't perform too..... it would all have been so much more dramatic, but that's the way it goes sometimes!

It was, Meat said on this forum that he'd be doing the ad-libbing at the end live
