So far their lineup includes:
Bobby McFerrin: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
Aqua: “Barbie Girl”
Ylvis: “The Fox” (What does the fox say?)
The Blackeyed Peas: “My Humps”
Pinkfong: “Baby Shark”
Meghan Trainor: “All About That Bass”
I first heard of her when she died.
I had never heard the rehab song until then either, but I really liked it, and her voice.
Of course the whole context kind of spoiled it.
So on the one hand, she’s like everybody else in this coronation saga — unavailable.
OTOH, what pepsi_junkie said — her schedule is wide open.
Maybe they can use the Paddington Bear Jubilee vid with Queen, and the Queen. That was cute. Freddie shouldn’t have a scheduling conflict.
Fun how We Will Rock U is famous for the catchy Morse code for “U”:
dot dot dash, dot dot dash...
It’s always something.
Too bad Dio is no longer with us, they could reunite Rainbow and do this one...

PEAK Rainbow...an outstanding performance...thanks!
Elton John - gay, the Spice Girls - one is gay and Harry Styles - gay gay gay
And of course the choirs of the various cathedrals could get in on it as well.
Why not add class instead and go for classical orchestras?
Scaramella va alla guerra (Scaramella is headed off to the wars with his spear and his shield . . . when he's not off on a spree with one shoe and one boot . . . ).
Our choir actually sings several of Josquin's sacred compositions (as opposed to a frottola like this!)
I bet John Rutter’s Cambridge Singers would jump at the chance! Showcase great English music!
Throw some country artists in there😀
Not sure about that but he worshipped Princess Diana. A bit awkard for Charles, given how that marriage went down and what happened next.
You’re correct.
The odds of Harry, Duke of Sussex, becoming King at this point are remote.
William, Prince of Wales, and his three children are all ahead of Harry in the succession.
Their children - and their descendants as well, for that matter - will all be ahead of him as well.
And the King is not unpopular - most people in the UK and the Commonwealth Realms want him to be King.
Some celebrities not wanting to associate themselves with supporting the monarchy at the moment, when it’s under constant attack from the left as a supposed symbol of colonial oppression... really doesn’t mean all that much in the scheme of things. I don’t blame them - why wade into that woke crapstorm if you don’t have to?
What a beautiful classic way to celebrate.
Love their music, have CDS
Thanks, I was pretty sure I had it right but consulting an expert is never a bad thing.
Unlike many around here I have nothing against England maintaining the monarchy. I see it as something that has evolved over the history of England and works rather well for England. It ain’t broke so it don’t need fixing.
I really think the major problem Charles has is following in the footsteps of his mother, the longest reigning monarch in English history. She was also pretty darn good at the Queen business.
Charles does have some pretty interesting ideas for bringing the crown into the 21st century. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I think William will have a much easier go of it because of the steps Charles takes now.
As for the celebrities keeping their distance, you’re right, no one willingly walks into a sewer unless they have to. It would be interesting if some high level celebrity told the wokesters to stuff it and performed anyway.
How are things in Oz?

NEW: King and Queen Consort to make first State Visit of the new reign 🇫🇷 🇩🇪
They will travel to France (Paris, Bordeaux) and Germany (Berlin, Hamburg) from 26 to 31 March.
Choosing two key European neighbours rather than a Commonwealth/Realm to visit on behalf of UK government.

Still tugging his forelock to the EU...
Gee, I wonder what the British monarchy was up to during the American Civil War...?
The UK supported The South because they needed the cotton for their burgeoning textile industry.
Until they second sourced the Confederate cotton with cotton from India and the South’s biggest ally dropped out........................
