She sung and danced fantastically and also talked to the audience a bit - she came across as truly lovely

I did however see her frocks at the V&A - hahahaha!

well, am not a massive fan, just think she's done some good pop, great business and has never disgraced herself despite massive opportunities for silliness.

She has done some top songs over the years. Personally I love Confide in Me and I don't think you can knock that song she did with Nick Cave :)

That's some crazy shit, i'd say he's only just behind the Beatles and LZ in terms of importance.

i didn't want to say this but its true. living with two scousers for a year i've started having to watch what i say about the Beatles.

aside from 'Walrus' the Beatles have done fuck all to get me excited about their music. I prefer Lennon's solo stuff, but it's still not a regular thing on my playlist

and i respect what they accomplished but it doesn't engage me really. not like bowie. when if your mood is right and you put on Diamond Dogs, you can feel thousands of electric shocks on your skin from just how incredible the album is.
in fact i think i need to listen to that now

but you have to appreciate that they get bummed and played to death and they don't really resonate so very well today BUT I think music today would be very different if we hadn't had them AND if you get a couple of albums (mostly the later stuff) and listen to them through they're actually very very very good.
I also like Lennon's solo stuff, but find it so filled with hypocrisy that it fills me with rage

Paul Weller is a tosser; the Jam are rubbish, as are the style council as are his solo efforts. Going Underground isn't all that bad if you don't hear it too often.

unless you actually mean The Jams, as in the Justified Ancients of MuMu, in which case you are correct sir, I will fight a bugger anyone who has a bad thing to say about them.

i can't imagine that Bowie would refuse it though, he's never exactly been politically rebellious has he.

as a "musician" she has very little to offer imho ... I agree about the other stuff though.
