I'm enjoying Madness. I saw them at Wembley arena years ago. |

"Miles better in the flesh. We see Madness every year at Butlins. Brilliant weekend.
Saw them at Carfest this year. They were shit there too"
It’s the atmosphere too though. It is quite painful to watch tonight but I’ll never stop going to see them. |

I think it’s fair to say that the BBC won’t be hiring them again ... my ears are bleeding !
I remember seeing them in London in 1979 and they were a breath of fresh air .
Fast forward 40 years and the band can still get away with it , but Suggs ?
Bring back miming I say |

I think they’ve lost their mojo- Suggs is too stuffed with Botox to open his mouth properly to sing. |

Dunno who agrees or not vut I personally think a lot of the 'older' generation of pop stars have lost their voices...ok with auto tune etc on their own shows but live without it are not very good. Such as Marc Almond and Sugs not to mention Cliff Richard, Shirley Bassey, Englebert Humperdink etc etc. About the only older guy I know who can still belt it out and sound great is Tom Jones...one up for the valleys lol |

Technically not his then, as Soft Cell's version was a cover version |

I was never a fan of his. In my opinion you did the original 'Tainted Love' by Gloria Jones, no justice, but it did give an obscure Northern Soul record mass appeal.
With regards to his performance tonight, he did suffer from severe head injuries in a motorbike accident and he has never quite been the same since. There through the grace of God go I. |

Marc Almond was actually very good in Manchester a few weeks ago in concert with Jules Holland .He's not quite got the sensational voice he had years ago but still very talented. I'm very surprised he messed up but he is not the only one. Robbie Williams was appalling when he performed on NYE by the Thames a few years back in my opinion .It was an embarrassment . |

Oh no. Reading down the replies I was praying you wasn't going to say this.
FYC do the best version of this |

"Marc almonds best song was the days of pearly spencer  "
 followed by Jackie and Ruby Red
Seriously though, we saw him a month ago and his performance that night was sublime, as someone said earlier, we all have off days... |

"Marc almonds best song was the days of pearly spencer
Another cover of a 60’s classic "
so is a lot of his stuff... Somethings got of my heart being another that hasn't been mentioned but is better than TL in our opinion. |
