Tones and I had such a terrible stage presence. She has a great voice but her dress sense and vibe doesn’t fit an event like the carols.
She did the same thing for the AFL Grand Final a couple of years ago and it was terrible.
Also having Sheppard on video link is not worth it - even though their song was nice. All the singers need to be live from the Bowl.
I watched it. I just don’t believe it was bad as what your making it out to be.
I don’t think it was the worst. I think the production was great, some performances weren’t great, but you get that every year.
Anthony’s bloody cape outfit was ridiculous. Honestly , the ego on that guy.
Agree, she is not a carol worth singer. She has no elegance or stage presence
If it had a 7 watermark instead of 9, I’m sure it would be a different story 
I thought it was great! It’s always good to have a live production, instead of the prerecorded crap dished up on 7.
i agree i thought it was one of better ones last night
Denis Walter was awesome ever there
I know Tim, Rob and Bonnie have copped a bit of flack, but I thought they were quite good. Much better than when Hi-5 did the same dance routine to the same song year after year. I still can’t hear the song ‘Santa Claus is coming’ without seeing this damn routine in my head!
So wearing a flamboyant outfit means he has an ego problem?
He has an ego though
They were fantastic IMO for what the bit was about (engaging the kiddies). I had a few laughs and the crowd at the Bowl seemed to engage with the humour and energy behind it.
It was very very cringe. Even for Carols.
Nope the ego was there before the cape.
I have nothing against someone wearing a flamboyant cape/outfit. He has an ego and it was done for “headlines” clearly.
Do we think having the likes of the Hamilton, Moulin Rouge and Frozen musical casts ruins the event? Do we prefer the usual selections of solo artists and groups?
I’m not a big fan of having musical acts from the likes of Hamilton, Moulin Rouge and Frozen this year (and other years too). Does ruin it a little. I know the Carols need to make money. But there are other wars around it - like having solo artists and/or groups promoting their Christmas Albums or promotion of their concerts for the new year etc (or on an odd occasion they have a song in an upcoming film etc). Sell that space for cross promotion rather than random musical casts.
I don’t mind it
Looking at the lineup, nearly all had either been in a musical or reality tv show
Sylvie Paladino.
Is this a serious question?
Not very serious… But I don’t know who the performer. I don’t even think there’s a full version of the 2021 Carols By Candlelight besides 9Now.
you mean 2021
