Anyone here going to be watching?

I'll watch on Sky News. When I say watch it will be on in the background and muted as I am listening to music, Sky news is always on when I'm not watching TV. So I'll look up and comment a bit on what it happening.

I Will Watch it =] Only for Shaheen though

Only problem with Sky News is that you have the adverts. Think I might watch on BBC Two.

Mariah Carey is performing too. Please add this. Her name is epic and MUST be included.

*twitches*

Added in bold, 'specially for you. :tongue:

I kinda laughed at that... but I'm guessing it wasn't supposed to be a joke

Its gone very quiet... are we missing something? is my tv buggered?

Technical difficulties according to BBC2 lol

No BT Sat live Feed
gets Storm problem

Yes Big Storms
are getting in the way of the Sat Feed.

Apparently it was supposed to be a moment's silence.

Really looking forward to Shaheen Jaforgholi and I think Usher is performing too.

No we have the pictures and sound, it's the actual service that has technical difficulties lol

yeah its just technical difficulties me thinks!

It wasn't a joke. He really was. As white... ew.

Sky news lady said it was a moments silence.. :/

lol she lied, they were waiting for the choir to come out but there was a hold up. (not as in a gun robbery hold up!)

I think they're trying to cover up the fact that they have made a big boo-boo LOL

:elephant:
