Anyone care to tell me how brilliant he is?

You've sussed me. I'm watching it in the same masochistic way you poke a sore tooth with your tongue to make it hurt again. He seems to have a vocabulary of 2 words - "motherf*cker" and "nigger", with a few connecting mumbles. Wow, cool.

God, the songs are still good. But Brett's vocals not ageing well by the sounds of it...

That auto tune on is vocals is a bit much, does he always sound like a cross between pinky Cher and perky?

Summed it up well. He's got some energy though, you've got to give him that.

I don't particularly like Lionel, but he put on a far better show than Kanye. He actually managed to engage with the audience and looked hugely entertaining.
Whereas Kanye pranced around cursing like a t**t wearing bad denim, sounded terrible with and without an autotune, and looked like a humourless prick when Lee Nelson ran on stage. Mass exodus of audience half way through as well. Massive Fail.
> Lionel Richie??? FFS!

Yes, some of the world's best (read: memorable or popular now) music wasn't necessarily popular with the masses at the time it was created. Sometimes it wasn't even popular with the critics.
It's entirely likely when a summary of music of this period (1950 - 2015) is written in, say, 50 years time, that Suede (mentioned in another post) will receive more positive attention than Kanye West.
Kanye may well get a mention in the section on prevalent techniques in music of mass appeal - overuse of profanities, overuse of a repetitive motif, overuse of sampling techniques, slick marketing and the maintenance of constant media exposure through other non-music related activities.
I actually sat through quite a few of his songs. He had a dramatic entrance and light show and the first tune was something I liked, but then it all got a bit tedious. I imagine if I'd actually been there it would have been a better experience, but when watching TV you don't get the full impact of "the show" and inevitably end up placing more emphasis on the quality of the music.

Not my kind of music, obviously, but I do like No Church in the Wild. It has a great guitar riff (Phil Manzanera, sampled), interesting chorus (Frank Ocean, not present) and most of the lyrics are rapped by Jay-Z (not present). All the other instrumental bits are sampled. How is this a Kanye West track exactly and it what sense was he performing it?
And as for the light show, did you see the Chemical Brothers set? It was pretty impressive even on the tv, must have been great live.

Were those laser shapes also live, or just projected on television? They were a bit much for me, and I wasn't even on drugs.

In reply to Yanis Nayu:
I kept tuning into Glasto to try to find something I actually liked but failed, unlike previous years. Even Lemmy (Motorhead) appeared a ghost of his previous self and bored me rigid.
The closest it came to interesting was some band on one of the smaller stages sounding and looking like a bunch of US schoolgirls but I wondered if I'd get a knock at the door from the plod if I kept watching and turned over.
Shame really, Glasto used to be an interesting mix of stuff but when the three main acts are Florence, Kanye f*ckwit West and Lionel you know something's gone badly wrong. Oh yes, the Foos failed to show which might have redeemed things somewhat but, even so, I suspect this year wasn't a classic.

Ah, no, I did catch (some of) the Who late last night, had forgotten about them already (bad night's sleep). They were classic and alive and kicking, well two of them, and I quite enjoyed them. See, I'm proven wrong so easily

I liked the first few seconds of Mr west, the low lights and little optical distortion was a good effect for a few seconds, after that I was very bored.
I did enjoy seeing Songhoy Blues , an interesting trance like, Afro blues , funky punk type of sound .

Classy.
Sure it was a young (and lovely) Keeley Hawes in the 'Saturday Night ' video.
Brett must be ancient now.though I bet his hair is still black.
