I thought the performance was merely ok. The positive points were Zak and Roger, who threw a nice couple of variations on the melody. Even though his voice is not what it used to be, that guy is still an expert singer. I wasn't particularly impressed with Liam. He was somewhat decent (a bit flat, though) until the first modulation where he started sounding really bad and strained. If this performance is an indication of how his voice sounds when he's well rested and not in the midst of a tour, then things are not looking well. I don't really care about the way people look so I won't join that discussion. It's nice to see Bonehead again, though. More likely it's an indication of his voice where it hasn't been used for singing in awhile. Like almost anything, a singer needs to practice and warm up, etc their voice. They can't just sit for months without singing and then be spot on. That's not to say his voice would be amazing either way, but I doubt he's been working out his vocal chords properly since the last tour.

Thought it was great, really enjoyed watching Liam at it again. It would love to hear from originals from groups like this or even a few different songs rather than My Generation again.

The whole performance was boring as fuck, Liam should avoid these kind of travesty shows... ruining his reputation If he s got any left. If he wants to do something...why doesn't he do something fresh or funny. This was predictable and dull and those trousers... ffs ...has he lost the plot?

Just out of interest: Why was that performance "boring as fuck"? What would be "fresh or funny"? It´s a TV Performance, what you expect? But yeah he´s lost the plot cause of some trousers, oh and yeah he looks depressed cause he´s not the big entertainer he used to be the last 20 years...did you guys ever see Liam/Oasis live or on tv before?

He' s not in Oasis anymore, he' s not longer in the best rock n roll band in the last 50 years...I mean I love Liam but he should move on but yeah, maybe I got carried away because I had higher expectation.

I can understand that people, including me, want something new, something unexpected. But let´s face it, everything by the Gallaghers is more than expectable. They did that for more than 20 years. Also i guess they didn´t invite Liam and say "go on, play whatever you like". As i said before, i´m happy that he was on tv again and he did a good job. After following him and his music for 19 years didn´t make me expect anything more than this.

He sounded great, as good as at any point since Oasis split up and there have been some real highs in that time. The trousers were shocking, the hair is cut in a way to make it sit thicker but it doesn't work because he wears it unstyled and too neat, it would look great if he messed it up a bit.
I don't think he looks depressed though, he's had that moody, slightly insecure looking demeanour for years now. I think he's trying to look pissed off to hide the fact he's lost quite a bit of confidence on stage for whatever reason. Rumours about his personal life point to the fact he's fine and happy atm.

Daltry would have had a say on the song chosen too. Considering they've both performed it before it makes sense to do it again for a TV show.
Liam as expected sounded good. Glad to see him back even if it is only breifly.

Lost confidence? Is he morphing into Noel?

People are talking like he missed a trick not doing another song on this show.
But this is hardly a relaunch of his career. It's not a stepping stone to anything else or an announcement of intent. It's probably just an opportunity that came up and he seized it. But of course they did the song that he already knew backwards and forwards. In fact he probably got asked to do it because they knew he'd already preformed the song tons so it would be easy to put together with minimal effort.

Ye and don't forget we're used to seeing him do My Generation but most of the public probably don't even know oasis have covered it.
If he's got 4 minutes to sing live in front of the mass audience, you're hardly gonna do Boris The Spider

It was great that Liam made an appearance again, that I'm grateful for. It was a good performance, a bit awkward at times, but he sang well.
Maybe a coincidence, but IMO LG's been going downhill since he's been with that Debbie bird.
Career wise, I hope he makes a real effort to sort himself out. It must be difficult, he can't be the 90s Liam with the attitude that everyone is familiar with as he's matured and it would just seem ridiculous, so he has to sort of reinvent himself.

How is it possible that Liam "voice of a generation" Gallagher still sings worse than a man in his 70s despite not being on tour? So it clearly wasn't the strains of touring that caused his voice to be shit. It's his lifestyle. He needs to sort that out if he wants to get back to the top.

For some reason he seems to prefer the nasal approach. But the song was played far too slow to suit Liam's style. Daltry was cringey I thought, changing the melody loads get over it n sing it normally!!!

But just the whole thing was shit cos it was so slow so didn't help it being a decent performance
