Gotta agree here. She's such an amazing talent.

Obviously the opening was amazing.... shame U2 couldnt hang run but had to fly out to continue their tour.

Mariah C on stage now... reason why I'm online.

Best act by a mile was the Pet Shop Boys in Moscow.
They played for an hour and the finished with Go West .
A-Ha were also good,Brian Wilson was good,The Killers and Coldplay were good too and U2.
Madonna and Mariah Carey were atrocious.

Robbie covering "We will rock you" now just as its dark in London.
As much as I dont really like the cheaky chappie, I think he might steal the show.
Fair play to him... I think everyone (almost?) can agree he's a great entertainer / showman, and perfect for this.

McCartney at the end could go one of two ways:

Crap or Brilliant, im going for Brilliant. It will only be crap if they do a Live Aid and forget to turn him on.

Best so far for me has probably been Sting or Green Day.

Worst: its a toss up between Snoop and Mariah. With Snoop a winner because he was so up himself.
