Take That, though I blubbed the whole way through it. It was so sad, although it was nice to see them again and Jason and his random dancing and oh my boys <3. But Gary

Anyone who says that Muse's performance wasn't at least top 3 needs their head checked

As soon as they came on the whole ceremony got more energetic. It's just a shame that they weren't up first or near the start to set the tone for the entire thing really.

Fatboy Slim got me going! Voted for him, Spice Girls, Jessie & Queen and of course, Eric Idle. Wow.

Fatboy Slim, The Who, Muse. And I know Beady Eye did Wonderwall but thought Liam sounded pretty on form

I don't particularly like the song Little Bird but I quite enjoyed Annie Lennox's performance. She has an amazing voice.



Russell Brand wasn't even half as bad as I was expecting. Glad the French and Saunders thing was left out though...

Literally loads couldn't list them all *goes to vote in poll instead*, but Fatboy Slim was a definite standout

The projections of Freddie Mercury were also quite poignant with the concert footage. He can still work the crowd.

I enjoyed the spice girls/wonderwall section the best. I'm a child of the 90's

It was a fantastic show, nobody dissapointed really.

Madness, Pet Shop Boys, Russell Brand, Fatboy Slim, Beady Eye, Eric Idle (who I stupidly didn't vote for on the poll), Muse, Take That & The Who were all stand-outs...But the ones who stole the show were The Spice Girls tbh.
