Glastonbury 2017 - Lorde ruled but who was the pits ?

Glastonbury 2017 by BBC IPlayer 40 acts to choose from; Lorde ruled but who was worst?

There are so many to acts to watch , the best thing about TV Glasto is you can go from stage to stage without having to walk a step through the mud and drunk on life ravers. Good job BBC.

The worst, its hard to pick between Ed Sheeran and Foo Fighters , but maybe Katy Perry snuck up and pipped them both. What on earth Russell Brand thought he had in common with Miss Plastic Fantastic is beyond me, but to actually marry the empty headed diva from another planet was a serious misjudgement dude. I know you regret it now Russell, but still, Ive got to pick you up on it.

Foo Fighters leave me cold but also confused. What is good about them? I asked my pals on Saturday night before our host left the room and I could switch to The Jacksons which we all enjoyed.

“I met him once” our host told us. “ He’s a really nice fella. He chatted and was really friendly, even though we had been introduced 4 hours earlier in the day”. Well OK, I’m sure he ( who? I dk) is great but the music , heavy metal hair and agonised faces , what is the point?

While we are on the subject of horrible sights of 2017, how about the bass player of Haim. The three girls (sisters?) line up and sing stop and start pop sings about wanting you back etc. But the gurning face of said bass player had us in hysterics;agony, ecstasy, pain, more pain, then mouth wide open and just held open for minutes. What is up love, is the record stuck? Its not that hard, and its not that good, so get over it. 
A word re Tom Yorke of Radiohead. He appears to have found a cure for the droopy eye, but the creepy hair has been combed and tied into a sorta manbun. WTF, have you moved to Hollywood or just gone all rockstarry? The set didnt work, it ground away, the same depressing stuff with highlight "No Surprises" being just that. Time for a new direction fellas. 

So what was good? Lots of folk liked Liam Gallagher. I cant stand Oasis but Ive warmed to Liam over the last month. I wouldn’t watch the set though. Chic, yea OK, but better in a dance room. No there was only one performer who utterly ruled, Lorde. What a fabulous set, the backing vocals were sublime, the harmonies just glorious. The music is clever, new and rocking. And the songs, well she is really special. Tennis Court, Buzzcut Season, Green Light, Sober were magnificent. My moment of Glasto 2017 has to be when she did Royals. The crowd seemed to grow and get more and more involved. By the end the adulation and roar was huge. Lorde – without doubt Pure Heroine was my record of 2016 and it looks like 2017 will belong to the short girl from Auckland, New Zealand.
