Thoughts on the Concert for Diana

So, due to my recent bout with food poisioning (or maybe it was the flu or the fact that I ate too much junk food on my weekly "junk food day"), I spent all of yesterday on the couch watching The Concert for Diana on Vh1. Here are some of my thoughts-

- Even though he's way too young for me, I find Prince Harry to be impossibly cute. Even though the likelihood that you'd become the Queen is near impossible with Harry, I'd take him over Wills anyday.

- I wonder if Fergie (ie. the Dutchess of Black Eyed Peas, Stacy Ferguson) and Fergie (ie. The fabulous Dutchess of York, Sarah Ferguson) had a Fergie-off backstage. My money's on the Brit, hands down.

- Good to see Jack Bauer in the house as a presenter. Although, as Chad would say "He's a loose cannon. You never know what he'll do." True. Too bad he couldn't have taken Rod Stewart out with one of his trademark punches instead of introducing him. (Full Disclosure: I actually like the Rod Stewart song "Maggie Mae". Otherwise, I think Rod is an old dude in much too tight pants. Moving on...)

- Josh Groban has a lovely voice and he totally outperformed Sarah Brightman on their Phantom of the Opera duet. Also, did anyone else who knows musical theater realize that Sarah Brightman is 47?? Girl must have a great plastic surgeon and/or Botox supplier.

- I really liked Diddy's performance. I do have a soft spot for that song, but I thought he did a good job of staying true to his style while also being appropriate for the event. I also liked him bossing the crowd around like, "Make some noise for Princess Diana!" How could you refuse? (Also, props to Jessica for noticing that his backup violinist girls were wearing Christian Loubouitan shoes... would you expect anything less from Diddy?)

- Three words: David Beckham- HOT.

- LOVED Ricky Gervais's performance of "Freelove Freeway" complete with back-up vocals from Gareth Keenan.

- Songs of the Day: (as requested by Beth): "My Song"- Brandy Carlile and (my personal girl anger rock favorite) "Just a Girl"- No Doubt.
