MattJimF Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 My guess is that Adele is preggers so couldn't do it, Emeli is the next closest singer like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 see , I would apply that to Ms Sande tooI would say that she appeals to a broader cross-section of music listeners than Amy McDonald and Rumer (whilst not questioning whether Rumer is talented or not).

The Milner Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 The botton line is someone had to do it, and because Emeli Sande is so hot right now she was chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 The botton line is someone had to do it, and because Emeli Sande is so hot right now she was chosen.Yeah. This. Surely the answer to "How does Emeli Sande do it ?" is simply "talent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 She is arguably more relevant than several of the acts who played, Spice Girls, Madness, fucking Queen with Jessie J.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybosh Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 She is arguably more relevant than several of the acts who played, Spice Girls, Madness, fucking Queen with Jessie J....more relevant to what ??? the point of the closing ceremony was to show the depth and effect British music has had on the world , like them or not The Spice Girls are right up there with The Beatles and The Stones as a musical landmark , Queen were quite rightly included , it would have probably been better to have Paul Rodgers singing with them but maybe he was busy notable ommisions for me were Zepplin , Weller (him doing a Jam song would have been just as relevant as Beady Eye doing wonderwall) Elton John , Rod Stewart (and I hate to say it) Status Quo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Manics turned down an invite to play the closing ceremony.

Its startling genius has driven me to tears at some points. Awesome singer and beautiful album. This is what music should be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
