Can't judge the music, not my thing at all, but from what I saw that must've been a fantastic and emotional experience for all involved. Even from a television screen it just filled me with a load of positive energy.

That's Jay Mehler.
Really enjoyed the concert, well done to all involved it was a great tribute.
Parents treating their children to a night out to see their favourite singer. Awful.
I really enjoyed Live forever. The crowd was definitely more Beiber fans than Oasis fans though
I've always found it odd how much shit young stars get for their antics. Given the time and money they have you can bet your bottom dollar that I'd have been worse.

Fantastic and enjoyable and served a great purpose.
It wont undo the tragic stuff weve seen the last few weeks, but it does show a sign of strength so soon after.
Music at a cricket ground? The only way to make it more British would have been if it had rained. (glad it didnt).

I genuinely think I was worse than half of them to be fair!
People are always blowing smoke up their backsides too. It can do terrible things to a young ego.
Goose bumps for live forever, one of my favourite songs ever. Chris martin has done that with noel on acoustic before and the solo was played on acoustic and sounded so much better than tonights solo.
Ha ha yeah most kids had no idea who liam was or the songs although there was 1 little girl singing along to rock n roll star, guessing her dad subjects her to music like oasis like my dad did with 60s music.

Doesn't help if everytime a celebrity farts it goes viral on twitter. I mean if half the stuff I did when I was younger went on social media I'd be fecked for the rest of my life.
To be fair, and I really mean it shockingly, Beiber did actually nail it. Of all the big stars on display tonight both he, with Ariana, absolutely smashed it.I really enjoyed Live forever. The crowd was definitely more Beiber fans than Oasis fans though
I thought Coldplay were the best.
Is it unfair to question why Liam, after all his mouth about Noel on twitter, chose to play his new single which went down like a lead balloon?
Definitely, I liked Beiber's new music tbh. Ariana for someone who looks so sweet and innocent, definitely packs a big voice to match her big heart.
I am not a Bieber fan , but tonight he earnt my respect , he nailed it.
It was cynical. Massive exposure for a very mediocre debut single.
I see nothing in there that warrants criticism of her....though I do see many others doing a fair bit of jealous bitching.
Yeah. We should all totally take them in as more than what the music industry want to show. Both were raw and showed talent well above what we expect from the normal pop stars.
Fair play, real talent was on show for all the bitchy news.
I'd like to think Liam is better than that and it was just him being dull and not realising how doing that may come across, but sadly it does seem like the sort of thing that he might do.
What's so wrong with him playing one of his songs? I personally didn't recognise some of the other songs played...
His voice is back. Why didn't he surround himself with decent musicians who could actually play the classics properly?
Oh wait, he tried that at the olympics...
Its not a bad tune and has some catchy riffs, but I agree he shouldnt have done that one as my first thought was that it was a chance for self promotion. Would have been better to do something else. Cant speak about whats said on twitter as dont have it so no idea what he says on there.
Can't wait to watch the concert in full, the bits I've seen look incredible. Wonder if it'll get a DVD release?
Just seems selfishly self promoting to play a song you released last week at a benefit gig to a massive audience when you've got a back catalogue of more suitable songs. Maybe thats harsh, but that was my first thought.

I definitely was/am.
massive credit to her.
It was a brilliant night. The crowd loved it, atmosphere was fantastic. Took my girlfriend and she obviously loved it but I also really enjoyed it, much more so than I expected.
Ariana though, what a woman. I could not have imagine having any more respect for her than I do tonight. What a phenomenal response to what happened less than two weeks ago. Hats off to her.

Yep, great things she did.

Full respect.

I've done a proper 180 on Coldplay over the last year or so... used to think they were pretty shit, but I really enjoy a lot of their latest stuff, and now coming round to their back catalogue...
Maybe I'm getting old and boring or something.
Anyway, cracking concert, well done Manchester.
I thought the whole thing was meant to be that "the show goes on" or whatever (like how Coldplay had all the confetti etc) so it would make sense if he plays his current song. He's also playing other gigs at the moment and it was probably a last minute thing.
Either way it looked like everyone there enjoyed it and it was a brilliant idea. Fair play to Ariana Grande for having the decency to do that and everything else. I'm sure plenty of others wouldn't.
So much for One Love then Liam.
Why did Mods change the thread title back?
Just wondering

And she's generated all that without being in the media 24/7 & seeming to be making it all about her as a consequence if that had of happened.
It is all totally very admirable & deserves every credit. As Ogg says, many wouldn't have bothered & a lot would have just been trying to forget it had happened at their gig & moved on as quickly as they could. And her monetary contribution exceeds into generous category too, fwiw. She's done an awful lot she didn't have to & beyond 'normal' expectations by a long way.
Plenty of high points for me, but I did like little mix coming out in their PVC clothes because that is what they want to wear. A big a feck you to isis from young women.
Robbie williams still amazes me, can't sing a note any more, still gets the crowd going and doing it for him, was a great visual, but grande singing over the rainbow was the highlight. Hell of a voice on her.
