Glastonbury's Got 99 Problems, Jay-Z Ain't One (But Amy Is)

Despite early bad weather, the Glastonbury Festival rolled on this weekend with celebrity fans including Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne out to see performers like John Mayer, Jay-Z and so many more. Amy Winehouse found a way to make new headlines with her despicable behavior including punching a fan in the middle of her performance — more on that and video over on UK Pop — and insulting Kanye on stage. On a brighter note, Jay-Z killed it as the headliner with Beyonce watching from the audience. After Noel Gallagher of Oasis made some disparaging comments about Jay headlining the festival, the rapper was under a lot of pressure to perform. Instead, he took the stage, guitar in hand, and started off his set by singing "Wonderwall" into "99 Problems." Amazing, check out the video below — so fun and the perfect way to win over some new fans overseas.

    I saw Jay-Z and he knocked it out of the park. John Mayer was actually really good and won some new fans out here too I think! I missed Amy, but saw plenty of other good acts as well. Fab festival!

    So happy about Jay-Z showing some of the racists posing as so called music purists ranting about a "rap" artist performing. You would not believe the anon's on some of the UK boards going bonkers about him coming but he showed the blokes something didn't he. Lov'n it.

    He's not a guitar player per se. He is a musician-producer-songwriter and knowing which is up on an ax dont hurt when you are trying to create lol.

    i havent read the posts methinks is referring too but you have to understand jay-z is not well known here and to be headling the pyramid stage on the sat night, well you have to be. he wasnt plying the guitar its more a prop!!that kinda of music just doesnt suit the vibe of glastonbury, well being the main act.

    I can totally understand why people are upset about Jay Z being a headliner and it has nothing to do with racism. What would you say if Jay Z were to headline Woodstock or something. It doesn't make sense and it doesn't fit the genre.

    Lisa101, Jay-Z is not well known there? I don't think that's the case.

    And as for him not suiting the genre, it's a massive festival with hundreds of acts performing, if they all fit into the one genre it would be quite the boring weekend. I think it's good that they're trying to broaden the spectrum of artists performing, I mean Kylie was supposed to play it the year she was diagnosed with cancer and nobody kicked up a fuss about that. If it was P Diddy or somebody I could understand the complaints but Jay-Z is in a different league to a lot of rappers and hip hop artists who are all image and no substance.

    As for Noel Gallagher, really... he should just shut up. He's no longer capable of producing decent music so he tries desperately to keep himself relevant to the modern music scene by shooting his mouth off every chance he gets. It was old ten years ago, it's SO old now.

    I totally agree, Kiki tee. I thought Jigga did a great job! It was so cool of him to open up with Wonderwall, given that I haven't made an effort to listen to that song since high school, lol! Smiling

    amy makes me cringe, that video of her "singing" and i use that term lightly and hitting someone is disturbing, she is out of control.

    i too dont like noel gallagher and he should shut up. and no jay-z has nowhere near the fame that he has in the us, hes not that popular here and rap is not appropriate for pyramid stage on sat night. thats my opinion

    Jay-Z is the greatest, and he is very well known in Europe lisa101..do you live under a rock or something?? and as for the Oasis losers.. ummm Oasis hasnt had a hit record since the days of Amy Winehouse being fat and crack-free..and yeah.. I definately COULD see Jigga headlining Woodstock..Hip Hop is the #1 form of music in the world right now..

    i'm always jealous when there are good shows like that in places other than where i live. i'm sure that it would have been great to see the drama first hand, but i guess it today's era, you can sort of see everything first hand.

    txlatina & lisa............those who aren't on the recieving end of an experience are always of the belief whats being claimed isn't happining. I'm not one to make up for effect anything, and as far as I knew before reading in not only about the uproar on UK blogs, I got an heart hurting wakeup call about how some of my beloved Ireland natives truly feel about blacks. Agian, if you aren't recieving it then of course it must all be in our minds. I get it don't worry.
