Re: Pink Snubbed For Lionel Ritchie.

....jesus ****ing christ. it's made worse by the fact it could happen.

You watch, it will. Add to that the fact that 75% of them cannot sing outside of the studio and Lionel Richie is comparatively the greatest grand final performer of all time.

Re: Pink Snubbed For Lionel Ritchie.

Lionel was awesome - 2 thumbs up

Much better than the tripe we've had over the last few years, would love him to return next year.

Re: Pink Snubbed For Lionel Ritchie.

Ritchie was probably the best GF pre-game entertainer of the last 20 years.

Kept the Chardonnay crowd happy.

On a brighter note, Joe & Wilber's Sax work was awesome

Re: Lionel Ritchie Grand Final entertainment?

My initial thought was why is he here? But then it dawned on me it is just pre-game entertainment - he's a world class act so just get on with it. Entertain the masses and he did.

Re: Lionel Ritchie Grand Final entertainment?

Some girls at my house were pumped to see Lionel Ritchie and wanted the sound turned up and shit.

I marked them dowm as Chavs and moved on.

1. Chardonnay is the most serious of white wines. The best too. You mean Sauvignon Blanc drinkers, if you mean generic clueless, bourgeois idiots
2. The sax was dire
3. Lionel Ritchie was shit when he was famous, and now he's washed up he's even worse. Looked like he was going to have an asthma attack.
4. INXS were just as shoite.

Lionel rocked.

Re: Lionel Ritchie Grand Final entertainment?

Lionel rocked today!!! Nearly everyone rocked with him!!

Had massively more atmosphere than INXS last week!

Re: Lionel Ritchie Grand Final entertainment?

Was much better than INXS last week - which is just about the most disturbing thing I have ever typed.

I agree with this and possibly was one of the biggest names that the AFL have ever had at the GF. I think thought that they should have gotten someone like Pink instead.

Joe and Wilber were really good.

You find out what type of people are here when they say Lionel rocked

 

[krust]

Re: Lionel Ritchie Grand Final entertainment?

Looked like he was enjoying himself and his sax player was dead sexy. several million times better than inxs.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Re: Lionel Ritchie Grand Final entertainment?

Give the man credit, there were plenty of people singing along.

And he clearly wasn't miming - great work from Lionel.
