2018 Grand Final Entertainment

[JB04]

5 hours is a bit long for pre match entertainment

Don’t think I could handle 5 hours of Benny Hill music

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Where is Tina Turner when you need her?

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Whatever happened to the St Johns Ambulance Marching Band as GF entertainment?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

There's always that argument that AFL wins the entertainment cause they have bigger names than ours. Wait and see what happens on the day.

I mean I dont know if their acts would be better live.

Gangs of Youth are apparently pretty good live. So I'm not gonna be critical of the NRL. Probably a good choice.

I was a little bit critical of when they got Macklemore but after seeing him live on the night I didnt seem to mind it, even if I'm not a fan of his music.

Macklemore was fantastic last year - at least on TV - it was a real show and from the broadcast it really seemed like everyone was enjoying it at the ground. Both codes killed it last year with the entertainment (AFL had The Killers).

This year they've got Barnesy and a Fergie-less Black Eyed Pears so I'm not sure how that's gonna go. Time will tell. But GoY are a great Aussie band so hopefully they do well.

The killers nailed it
They did their homework
They connected with Aussie audiences by playing a classic Aussie bands song that had lyrics that completely suited the occasion.
They knew the players names.

Macklemore was more worried about making a statement.

Ah AFL Grand Final entertainment. The only time the words ‘International’ and ‘AFL’ get mentioned non ironically in the same sentence.

 

[myrrh ken]

Black keys
Or
black sabbath
Or
black rebel motorcycle cycle club
Or
Even jack Black would be better

They have a few good songs but from what I’ve heard live...sheeze
They might want to mime.

Black Lace would be my choice

 

[Haffa]

Are we getting the chic from the QRL GF to sing her mash-up WTF national anthem?

 

[Timmah]

Macklemore was more worried about making a statement.

Que?

'No' voters were more worried about making a statement. Without them, there's no story last year.

There’s a reason the NRL turned them down last year when offered.

Fans not happy as Champions League final kick-off delayed after 'awful' Black Eyed Peas performance

The Black Eyed Peas were described as "so awful" and "the worst" by observers on social media, while the absence of band member Fergie – who has left to focus on a solo career – prompted a predictable avalanche of jokes.

Gilligan doing his best Clinton impersonation on a contestant from the Voice Phillipines (no joke).

He changed the lyrics during the song “same love”.
A clear reference to the gay vote .

I don’t give a shit...but that is making a statement.

 

[Eelectrica]

Billy Idol or burst.

What lyric?

No lyrics were changed within the song, he said 'equality for all' after the song.

Why does that trouble you so much?

He changed lyrics
He made a statement after directed at the impending gay vote.
The rainbow coloured fireworks and balloons looked a lot like a statement to me.

I’ve got nothing against gay people
Ive gig two mates who are gay
I’ve voted yes for gay marriage.

It was a statement.
It was unnecessary .
