Members DRW50 Posted February 25, 2013 Members Share Posted February 25, 2013 She's a big poser. It's hard for me to remember that I was a fan of hers a long time ago. She seems to have lost any semblance of restraint along with most of her acting talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 25, 2013 Members Share Posted February 25, 2013 All I can say is this: the reaction to Dame Shirley Bassey at the Elton John Oscar Party was electric. At the Vanity Fair party she was truly the belle of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted February 25, 2013 Members Share Posted February 25, 2013 I actually met her at my work place once. She was very eccentric and out there but she was also extremely pleasant and charming. She's definitely odd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 Twitter was lit up after she performed. I am going to look it up on YT along with JHud. I heard she rocked it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 I also thought it was inappropriate. I don't know why sophomoric locker room humor is supposed to be a part of the oscars. So teenagers will watch? The Bill Shatner segment was fun... the flying Nun thing was HILARIOUS... and Seth is far more attractive, and a far better singer than I imagined. But the boob song, to me, just sucks all the dignity out of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 So, there are Adele stans who are pissed because they felt it was disrespectful to Bertha to have Dame/Queen/Empress Shirley perform during the Bond tribute. Apparently, it was supposed to be Skyfall's night to shine. GET THE F!CK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 These all the way, baby! Oh dear LORD. I'm sorry, I'm just gonna say it: "Skyfall" is a mediocre song. It's clear that it's a theme song for a movie if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 Don't you just hate certain sections of mankind sometimes? Standom is my least favorite cultural phenomenon of these past two decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 I agree. I think it's a nice little smooth jam and it certainly has that sexy Bond swag that I love under the opening credits. But it's not a song that even exploits the full strength of Adele's voice. I DO like the song, but it's kind of like a watered down Goldeneye or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yea. My dad actually said it seemed like a watered down Goldfinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 ICAM. I really liked the winners this year. The show fell flat though. It was not bad at all, but not great at any time, it was just ok. The Oscar tribute was a biiiiig let down considering all the hoopla in advance. I actually thought Seth MacFarlane was much too tame. The short glimpse of TED with Marky Mark was much more tongue-in-cheek when all the rest of MacFarlane's numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted February 26, 2013 Members Share Posted February 26, 2013 That's ridiculous. As soon as they said it was going to be a tribute to Bond music it was a no-brainer that Bassey was going to show up and stop the show. It's tough to think who is the second artist you would go to. I guess Paul McCartney or Carly Simon, but even they are not in the same Bond ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
