Sorry but as an average stand up she a bit ste.

As a singer she's bloody dreadful. Totally flat and off key to start with......but the big issue I have with her is that she lacks any soul...I just don't get her at all.

Oh, and don't get me started on her miserable, bunny boiling lyrics. Poor choice Glasto.
Not a fan then, we know that now, thanks...
She has always spoken like that, always seems to appreciate her fans and quite down to earth. So what if she swears and wants to have a chat with the audience. As a few have said it makes a change from the so called super stars who are up there own arse.

Yep, comes across as very down earth to me and genuinely amazed by the crowd. What an experience for that 10 year old girl she got up on stage at Glastonbury in front of thousands too.

Also enjoyed the rather short piece shown by BBC of Fat boy slim set.

Dance music not really my thing but he just mashes it all up so well.

Yes I caught that. Wish they'd shown more, a favourite of mine (his chart peak was around my clubbing days!) He just loves what he does and he is expert at it

Yes, did you hear her ask the crowd if anyone at the front had needed a st during the day? She went on to enquire what the people at the front did 'if they needed a st'. Rock'n'roll is alive and kicking eh?

No doubt the ten year old girl later taken on stage will be asking mummy about that.. but Christ knows what she was doing there in the first place.

Good lord it's like the Daily Mail on here!

She said naughty words!

She spoke to the crowd!

She sounded awfully common!

Loads of family's go there ?

It's not like the 80's to early 90's where you had the travellers and big gangs from liverpool manchester rock up and charge a nominal fee to get in via a whole they've cut/dug in the fence.

Nowadays it's very middle class/radio2 with family's in motorhomes/caravans so you don't even have to rough it.

Being at the front for adele the girls hardly going to get caught up in a mosh pit is she and if she doesn't like it she's right by the barrier so can get out of there easily.

Yep, Glastonbury is very geared up for kids, you get children of all ages there, we took our youngest and her friend to Glastonbury in 2011; they were 12, they loved it.

Watched some of Adele - only heard her singles on the radio - obviously a good singer but not sure I could listen to more than 3 tracks - just so boring/bland - needs some highlighted musicians as counterpoint - otherwise it's just Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey/big ballard bks....

It sounds awful to me. As did Adele. Was surprised the headline act of the night was so mundane.

How come ?

A weekend of wall to wall music and entertainment.

The camper van/ caravan fields are a lot more family friendly , bring your own caravan or hire one and you can have showers etc.

Just watching ELO...brilliant as ever. I'd love to see them live but just too expensive for me.

I know some of my Aunts and Uncles have just seen them and said it was an excellent show.

Sunday afternoon is definitely one not to miss on the Pyramid stage these last few yrs. They don't disappoint!

ELO a top band - saw them earlier in the year at Liverpool. I'd have thought that they would've been better headliners than Adele.

Squeeze as usual also brilliant!

I saw ELO on Friday night and they were awesome but I am biased as my uncles the only other remaining original member. We got to see them at Hyde Park too a couple of years ago which is what sparked it all off again.

Sadly I couldnt wing tickets for Glasto too...hurumph!

I saw them in Glasgow, they where superb, it was the second most enjoyable concert I have been to, only beaten by Queen in 86.

From what I've seen so far I really enjoyed Tame Impala and Squeeze, and ELO were great. Although I don't like her type of music I thought Adele was great - fantastic voice. Last Shadow Puppets were awful and I won't bother watching the pretentious Gregory Porter and overrated Coldplay smile
