Ariana Grande LOOOOL. Is this Coldplay thing serious?

I like Coldplay. Why ya gotta hate? They're putting on a good show and obviously are really happy to be there.
I don't know Ariana Grande's music, but I thought that was a nice song.

I like them normally. But I don't rate Ariana Grande high. Chris was really cool though, all smiles. Good performance. Even did songs they didn't rehearse because that piano broke down. They really picked it up nicely and played more of my favorite songs. But that one song made me walk away when I heard ''Ariana Grande.'' Only makes easy hits etc. Would've liked another guest singer way better.

But she has a nice voice and the duet was pretty good. They didn't even do one of her own songs, did they? I thought it was some cover (not positive). I thought it was a nice enough ballad for the mood of the show.
I don't know anything about Ariana Grande so have no opinion of her either way. You seem to know her stuff a lot better if you know that she only makes easy hits. She seems to be very popular though, so that's probably why they asked her to be a guest. Perhaps she's also well-liked in the industry too. I read somewhere that she's reliable and hardworking.

Despite all the stress of getting in, I'm sure the whole experience will be well worth it. Be safe and have fun all!

I'll be watching from the comfort of Chicagoland.

Chris said he wanted to mix genres and he asked his kids who would be the person they wanted him to perform with - Arianna Grande is extremely popular with tweens, teens, young adults and she actually can sing. I thought it was a lovely song. Not going to buy her record, but she has talent. Remember that this is a festival about being a global citizen - the world coming together to do good. Pearl Jam is headlining and that's awesome, but the festival's message is in line with the Pope's - less division and more inclusion. And the speakers in between are talking about what the festival is all about. Remember Peace, Love and at the end they'll be Pearl Jam. Just sayin' - embrace the day and its meaning, that's why Pearl Jam is there.

Nice, so this is a current live stream? So I can watch PJ's set from my couch?

Watching this live, this one on right now just blew me away with the song he just did!

Ed Sheeran - another big hit with the younger crowd. He has a Van Morrison, John Mayer kind of vibe to him - I liked him. He's the one that got the tattoo of Cleo the LIon on his chest after he was killed. Impulsive move, but a nice thought (has to live with that forever though). Girls go crazy over him. Ed signs in the crowd were for him, not Eddie, like I obviously assumed.

Beyonce just started 6 minutes ago. A delay of 15 minutes because of an extended set by Ed Sheerman. *twisted evil

ehbacon

looks like the majority of the crowd is there for Beyonce. I hope they at least stay or it will be really sad.

It will be a shift. Beyoncé fans move back pj ones go forward. I saw a ton of PJ fans. Beyoncé sucks

PJ_Soul

I don't like her music (besides that put a ring on it song, obviously, lol!), but Beyoncé is talented. She doesn't suck, she's just not for everyone.

mattcoz

With Sheeran joining Beyonce on stage, maybe Beyonce will join our boys on stage. Hmm, what song could she do?

No she sucks. So does Sheeran. Time for PJ to get on stage to show them what real music is.
