Did He Deliver???
Filed under: Anglophilia > Jay-Z
Picking Jay-Z to be one of the headliners of the U.K.'s Glastonbury was highly controversial and heavily criticized.
So…
The music festival came and went this past weekend.
How did Hov do???
CLICK HERE to check out his cover of Oasis's Wonderwall paired with his own 99 Problems (above).

1st
1st!!!!
first wow and I like Jay. this is amazing
FIRST
First
that big nostrial'd monkey sucked ass!
Jay-Z can't sing. He RUINED Wonderwall. He wasn't even at the mic have the time. AssHat!
First bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jay z U Rock
well i loved his set it was so much fun and he knew how to work the crowed 10/0
man he's NOT a good singer….he needs to stick to rap
Just saw him in Dublin where he absolutely delivered. Was not expecting much and was so blown away by what an awesome performer he was. Delighted he was on the mainstage and headlined Glastonbury. A true genius. …he's a Dub you know, according to Bono!
Watched the whole TV broadcast.. shit was amazing and I hope that Michael Eavis gets another big hip hop act next year!
i mean 10/10
2nd?
First?
What the fuck was that?????
SING INTO THE MIC.
KNOW THE LYRICS.
DON'T SING AT ALL.
He can't sing - not at all. Totally tone deaf. WTF???
did he even rehearse this song? he doesn't know half of the lyrics. BOMB!
SO GOOD!!!
Don't know about the wonderwall part especially since he didn't even know the words but he's a GREAT rapper and sounded sick at that part
looks like he was killin it!
Eh, im not a Jay-z fan but i am a huge Oasis fan (Mad fer it!!!) but he did deliver by playing wonderwall, it sucked and he wasnt even playing the chords on guitar so he wasnt even playing, but he brought it with his other songs! According to NME it was one of the biggest audience at the pyramid stage so props to Jay-Z!
I seriously think you could fit Verne Troyer in one of his nostrials. Widest nose Ive ever seen.
GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME?! NOT
I think he fucking SUCKED.
Stick to rap, which you suck at, too, with your whiney little bitch-ass voice, HOVA.
REally good!!!1
Jay-Z holding a guitar=priceless
Jay Z needs to stick to rapping he sounded like shit trying to sing I'm glad he had the audience finish it haha.
I was there and it was FABOULUSTASTIC!!! so wish I could rewind time right this minute and do it over again.
What's this with the first thing? Why do you people keep on doing it? It was fun when the first forums and blogs with a comment function started but.. still?
Anyway, Jay z made us (all) proud. Loved it. Great intro too!! LOL
Peace.
Kit
Jigga does it every time…..!!!!
He was taking a piss you IDIOTS……a joke!
I like it!!! jay z is cool man
awful!
sucks at oasis
he was actually amazing. i was pleasantly surprised.
third!!!!!!!!
Perez why are you running so behind?
I loved it!
Well…that was nice? I dunno, I'm a purest when it comes to Wonderwall. It wasn't like he was paying homage or trying to incorporate alternative music, it was more like "hey, yall know what? I think I should do one of those songs at the beginning. I won't really learn it, we'll just make sure the crowd knows it then I don't really have to do anything. Hey, what about Wonderwall? Everyone knows that!"
this guy sucks big time. he cant sing and he cant rap. the youth today havent got a clue of whats good music, and this doesnt even come close.
JAY Z MADE GLASTO THIS YEAR HE WAS SICKKK
AND ALL THOSE HATERS WHO SAID JAYZ WOULD RUIN THE FESTIVAL WERE WRONG.
he completely butchered wonderwall.
stick to what you know, hov.
Man this guy is really pulling alot of chains. Yeah he's good…oh yeah, he's good…good at pulling chains. Wake up people.
did JayZ deliver? hmmm….not so much…kinda disappointing
WOW! He can't sing! This is like a REALLY horrible karaoke without the proper amounts of alcohol.
i was underwhelmed by jay-z. if the organisers want to showcase rap then don't go with lightweights. get a worthy act like the coup.
He really wasnt that bad, although his singing… o wait i mean mumbling was very irritating… o and the glstobury was fucking packed and fucking muddy
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not impressed at all. Stay retired!
If you didn't know, Noel Gallagher dissed Jay-Z saying that Rap didn't belong at Glastonbury, and my guess is that his performance of Wonderwall was to strike back at Noel. In my opinion it kind of failed though because he hardly knew any of the words. He should have made his own lyrics or something. Fail. Could have been a great opportunity.
The entire festival was awesome, had a brilliant time, but Jay-Z? Not even close to what he's cracked up to be.
Jay Z should definitely not sing ever again.
Ouch.
obviously he can only shout, because he sure can't sing.
The lead singer of Oasis is the guy that said Jay-Z nor hip hop should be at Glastonbury. So, he's dissing him by opening with his song.
You all are such idiots.
maannnnn he tore that shit UP! I wish I was there!
awesome….love it!
He's TONE DEAF and should never sing again. What's with the guitar? Can he even play it? 3 out of 10 for the entertainment value of hearing him howl.
i love it!! amazing…i love how he sucked at singing and still rocked it!
I was embarrassed for him during Wonderwall. Total tosh.
Yes, Jay did deliver. He had the biggest crowd the pyramid stage has ever seen in the history of Glastonbury. He Rocked it.
wow. i liked jay-z until i just watched him butcher one of my favorite songs. that was a disgrace! he should stick to rapping
whats is this garbage
TELL KANYE, THATS HOW YOU DO A FESTIVAL
He sucked bigtime!
It pains me to watch this. How could he destroy such an amazing song in front of so many people. It almost seems as if he didnt quite know the words. Sad.
what the fuck is this?
he is completely tone deaf and didn't even sing into the mic
oasis will be PISSED when they see this
fucking terrible
even the mess that is liam gallagher could probably rap a jay-z tune better than jay-z can sing an oasis song.
wow… i love the 99 problems but what the fuck?!?
he totally masacred wonderwall
Disrespectful ASS.
this was horrible, he destroyed the song. he is defintely not the best rapper alive, he barely even sang into the microphone. terrible.
The Wonderwall part was clearly a joke. He was just having some fun. And he stepped away from the mic and let the audience sing because as you can see, he can't sing.
He was awesome.
I thought it was pretty craptastic if you ask me…..Jay-Z needs to stick to rapping which is what he is great at and leave the singing to Oasis!
Love you Perez!!
•
how sad…how pathetic.
•
when an american who can't sing worth a damn to begin with…
has to go and vocally butcher a song the way he did
•
what's even more sad….is that the director of the Glastonbury Festival feels
the need to include some over-rated ghetto american "talent" in the festivals
line up
•
i suppose it could have been worse…he could have have both jz and kanye there
at the same time…that would have been far worse
•
but still….whenever a "rock" festival feels the need to pander to r&b and hip-hip
acts….
•
then something is absolutely wrong with that bad decision
•
you don't see "gangsta" rap and r&b festivals pandering to Oasis
to play at their festivals
•
i'm just sayin…

Re: Ja – who is the idiot when it was noel who said it and is not the lead singer numnuts
no talent apeman. he cannot sing. why did he even try to cover that song. this guy is only good at one thing…rapping about drugs, hookers, and ghettos. he had no business touching a classic song like that.
go back to your housing project where your talentless ass belongs.
no he didnt deliver at all. wtf was tht? tht was no cover of wonderwall if it was then it wasnt his it was the crowds. would have much preferred nerd to headline if they want some rappin. or kanye west!
I think yall are missing the fact that him singing that song was a COMPLETE joke. OASIS, the guy from Noel was the one talking about Jay-Z and how he shouldnt be head lining…
Did u all miss that??
Brilliant…..all for every genre at Glastonbury!!!
Jay-Z is brilliant. I love him. I love this.
Re: Sean –
which would explain his next song.. "99 problems but a bitch anit one"
Obviously he did not deliver. JESUS!!! How told JayZ he could sing. He murdered the song. He is such a poser and wannabe carrying a guitar he did not use. For the 173rd time, just retire!!!-
he obviously played this song cause Noel Gallagher dissed him about playing in Glastonbury…
wonder what Noel will have to say about this, can't wait!
has he ever even heard the song before?
Wonderwall sounded like a dying animal. But I loved the AC/DC Back in Black mixed with 99 Problems!!
Fucking idiot!!!!! no wonder Noel Gallagher said it was a bad idea to have him There!!! How Does he think he is????
Jay Z killed it!!! I checked out more clips on youtube. Beyonce rocking on the side of the stage in her hoodie was priceless! Winehouse was comic relief. Did anyone else catch the pic of Beyonce looking at Winehouse like she was crazy?? Funny as hell.
…That was horrible.
He ruined it. Hes a fucking idiot. Stick to rap bitch!
Re: Sean – well Noel was right! Jay Z and his hog wife have no talent. they are so last decade. they need to retire. there are so many better acts.
That asshole ruined one of the best songs ever….KNOW THE LYRICS BEFORE YOU GO ON STAGE YOU DOUCHEBAG! NOT ALL MUSIC IS A BUNCH OF 'YEAHS' OH 'UH HUHS' LIKE RAP GARBAGE. FUCK JAYZ
LAME AS FUCK… He's got 99 problems and talent aint one
Again. another stupid performer holding a guitar on stage and not doing anything with it.
And he totally sucked. Worse than Karaoke.
Don't give me this uninspiring crap.
No. I think punk ass kanye is better than Jay.
LoL @ the people who say he cant rap. Obviously they havent listened to any of Jays albums. But anyway he did great. Wish I was there.
That was the death howl of Rap! It's been a long time coming.
A GREAT joke,.. Very clever! Standing ovation for big J!
Taking a piss of the opposition… The glasses, the jacket and the guitar… Brilliant!
Off course he had to trash the song that was the whole idea to make it suck!
To bad he didnt change the lyrics like Weird Al Jankowic would have… But it was funny enough..
Shows a great mind and artist,.. Respect!
Everyone who keeps going on and on about how we ruined the song and can't sing is retarded. He didn't do Wonderwall because he was trying to switch things up, he did it to get at Noel from Oasis. Obviously he can't sing, but he wasn't really trying to, he was doing it as a joke. Keep up people.
Sucks. He ruined the song. It sounds like a drunk in the shower. He has a lot of (useless) nerve. This was talentless.
HOTTTTT
I thought he was kind of lazy on the Oasis but his performance of his own song was exciting. The audience seemed to appreciate his Oasis though.
yeah…he needs to get his head out of his ass about his 'talent'. He needs to stay behind the scenes. His face and his voice needs to be behind the scene. He ruined Rhianna's "Umbrella" is there a version out there WITHOUT his ugly mug and voice?
