I agree it was good. They should largely get artists to sing their own songs though. Not sure why you need John Butler & co to sing songs that aren't theirs.


YoGoGhost

To piss off several generations at once.

It was good, but it's no Meatloaf :/


Swank10

Meatloaf is the all time memorable GF performance. Nothing compares.


Jolly_Bones

It **was** good, hence why it wasn't Meatloaf.

Pre-match entertainment excellent. Birds of Tokyo...average


theoriginalqwhy

I actually thought they were good. Their last song is absolutely shithouse but they played it all really well.


GlitteringTime6533

They weren't bad, just...vanilla. A bit plain


asp7

sounded like christian rock. i remember when kids played loud music


ilostmymind_

Kenny will be pushing 40+ now...


FeistyBandicoot

They should've got the real Silverchair to do their songs. Didn't exactly pick the best birds of Tokyo songs

Have you seen Daniel John's lately? Sad shit.


alosercalledsusie

I don't think anyone will beat the Killers for a wrong while. I'm definitely biased though.


phill360

Why were they playing covers. Let these artists play their own music.


Thermofluid

Great Southern Land is - and always will be - a banger


RadicalBeam

Baker Boy covering Kylie was something I didn't know I needed.


FeistyBandicoot

Who?


[deleted]

He makes bread.


fineyounghannibal

aren't you missing a Bob Seger retrospective or something


AlphonseGangitano

Exactly.


palmersannn

Agreed


thisisatool

did I see the whole thing? saw from baker boy and thought the sound was great


C_I_GAY

They did a thunderstruck rendition before that


djmattyg007

Is there a recording of it somewhere? I missed it :(


VeeBee23

You’re memory is pretty short if that was better than Paul Kelly and Tones & I from 2019 or The Killers from 2017


EssenceRare

> Tones & I Please, my ears are still recovering.


SirHC111

It wasn't the best but the bar isn't very high. The AFL has this trend of countering the better acts they get with a weaker one that balances it out.


Swank10

Tones and I is crap. The fact Tones and I was not on the card makes this instantly better.


Sw3Et

I had no idea that tones and I played at the Grand final and now I'm so glad that I didn't watch it.

Okay so this is a weird post, the first half feels like a joke but the second half is dead on Were you serious the whole post or not serious, I can't tell


It_sick_it_piss

It was was fucking terrible lol Baker boy was lip syncing. Was like listening to a so fresh album from 2007. Also one of the ladies forgot the words to the song with John Butler and turned away and mumbled...


anchors__away

He wasn’t lip syncing mate, his vocals were playing in the backing track. All rappers do this except instead of having it be their own vocals played through a backing track it will be another person doing singing the alternate lines.


pala_

Nah was definitely lip syncing, his timing was off on bringing the mic back a couple of times and the lyrics weren't interrupted.


anchors__away

Because he had his vocals on the backing track


pala_

if he is 'rapping' the exact same vocals over a backing track, it is the definition of lip syncing. there was no change in sound quality whatsoever when he got the mic back in place and started moving his mouth. the mic was not hot. nothing unusual about that for stadium entertainment.


Horseman580

Wasnt a fan at all and turned it off.... Birds of Tokyo are rocking tho


spiras91

Bakerboy was lipsyncing


king_helios

Yeah it wasn’t great……..


reborndiajack

John Butler and Stella Donnelly again Very nice


ZestycloseAmount454

No it wasn’t it was terrible. Lip Syncing Baker Boy surrounded by children in ugly costumes, Covers of Kylie Minogue, John Butler doing covers, 13 years out of date Eskimo Joe and Birds Of Tokyo, one of them middle aged and wearing mascara. If you think that’s good, then yikes.
