past their sell-by date

I fully expect to get pelted with rotten tomatoes for this, but this Jubilee vconcert is packed with artists well past their sell-by date who can no longer cut it live: Elton John, Cliff Richard, Tom Jones, Stevie Wonder, Shirley Bassey...even Rolf Harris. What do you REALLY think?

Why did Shirley Bassey only sing one song and then get cut short by Kylie singing a terrible medley of her songs?

My thoughts:
I noticed a lot of changed voices (presumably) due to age, particularly Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney and Elton John and was a bit shocked. I thought Lenny Henry was unnecessarily rude to Rolf Harris. Tom Jones was brilliant, as was Shirley Bassey and Grace Jones. I thought Annie Lennox overdid it a bit with the whole slowed down angel stuff and the virtual destruction of mic/stand - but that thing with Madness and the projections was mind blowing.
The one thing that I thought all the way throught was this: what was *she* making of it all.

Out of all the acts I think Tom Jones was the best.
Elton sounded like he had a pair of socks in his mouth, Macca struggled to hit the notes, it's ok saying they are legends and get the crowd going but there comes a time when enough is enough and tonight proved it.

I was watching the whole thing with an eye for balance between what the populus would enjoy (younger and older) and what the Queen would enjoy.
I'm still left wondering if Her Maj actually enjoyed any of it or if she just found the whole thing too intense and 'modern'.
It looked to me as if she would rather have been sitting quietly with her memories with the French doors open listening to the owls and the crackling of an open fire in Balmoral.
