Yes, she's good in her own right, good singer, songwriter, instrumentalist (I'd love to have that Taylor guitar she plays). But let's not do The Emperor's New Clothes here, that performance was average at best.

Was that a Martin D12-20 that Keith's playing?

I've posted before that Adele should do Gimme Shelter, she'd show the Pop Tarts what it's really about

My statement was not meant as a put down of Talor Swift or Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood etc, they are all good at what they do and their certainly is a place for it in todays market. Not everyone can be of the same status of the Stones or Dylan + The Beatles.

That said I am putting down the Rolling Stones. What is the motivation for this? Does Mick Jagger really want to sing with a 22 year old pop singer whose audience is full of 13 year old girls? Does the average hardcore Stones fan (the ones paying these ridiculous prices) really want to see acts like Taylor Swift? Do they even know who she is? It just seems so forced and commercialized to me.

Not to sound like a musical snot, but the Stones represent more than what the average pop tart does. They aren't just another rock and roll band they are the rock and roll band. How can the band who sang Sympathy for the Devil + Street Fighting Man want to share the stage with the girl who wrote the whinny tween ballard "We are Never Getting Back Together?

Why lower your status by inviting very pop star of the moment (who will be on VH1's where are they now in five years) on stage to sing a forced duet? It almost never works out when the Stones attempt to chase trends. Bring on Buddy Guy, Springsteen, The Foo Fighters, but please leave the pop tarts at home, it's embarrassing for the Stones and all they represent. It makes them look desperate to be relevant to today's pop audience. Which begs the question why would they want to be relevant to today's pop audience? Been there done that.

Like I said earlier in the thread if this was the 80'S they would be singing with Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. Get my point?

40 years ago you mean? Not so sure what they represent with these last giga tours or with their last albums, compared to what these other artists you mention represent

The Rolling Stones died at the end of the 1981 tour. What they are doing today with these special guests is truly an embarassment. When they are dead and buried people will marvel at what a stupid move this was.

Agreed.
When you look at it another way..."the tart" has probably earned 10 times more in the last 7 years...got more hits in the last 30 (yep shes 23 so giving them an extra 7years....more topflight NEW albums in the last 20...
Her fans could be saying the same thing..."Why mix and perform with these old uns - its embarrassing"....

The biggest card Mr Jagger plays is publicity. He has never been out the headlines. All publicity is good.
Whether she was any good on the night or not is different....but shes a marketing success.

Are you @#$%& kidding me? Nobody will remember this. It won't appear in their obituary. The only people who will remember are those who got so bent out of shape over something so incredibly stupid.

I do agree with your 1981 assessment. It was never the same, for better or worse.

There's worse things than having a HOT young girl whose HUGELY popular
do a number (and a nice one at that). I for one LOVE watching Jagger sing and interact with a beautiful lady on stage.

How about the Stones doing something other than a warhorse without some special guest?

Not an original thought in your pea brain...
just quote and troll... rinse repeat... starved for attention... boring as ever.

A towel? lol....

come on kid, you can do it if you try.... maybe read book, talk a walk outside, find some motivation... concentrate and maybe you can find an original, non-reply thought. Give it a try boy, you can do it.

Maybe change you screen name again, that might help you get your pea sized troll brain going.

To you still wear a girdle James T Kirk? Now that is something to be embarrassed about!

as in WTF? "Are you embarrassed?"....I could only answer "Talk to Mick".."

She's a pretty young thing with a hot ass. The band enjoyed having said hot ass on the stage. She performed well enough. The song choice was a nice surprise. All works fine for me. People who are outraged really need to lighten up.

we will NOT lighten up and nothing you say or do will make us.

I'm laughing here at how 'old-aged' the moaning sounds. Is it different to 'outraged of Tunbridge Wells' demanding in the 60s that Jagger gets his hair cut?! Maybe not.

The 60s hip kids have grown into a bunch of conservative (with a small 'c') grumpy old men!

Dayo

While most of people here feeling embarrassed and complaining about nearly everything, the lucky sixteen-thousand people / show just enjoying themselves.
And the Stones! They just do what they've been always doing, on the road, entertaining, earning big money, sharing the stage with guests/friends, and old mates.
Excellent!!!!!
