To be fair, she isn't half-arsing it. She looks like she's having fun up there, and I guess that's all that matters in the end.
God that was hard to listen to, and to see how uninterested the crowd were lmao

No, generally to perform in front of hundreds or thousands of people who [i]paid money[/i] to be there, you would do best to have at least the slightest shred of talent.

She's so deep.
Meanwhile there are genuinely talented artists out there failing to get the recognition that they deserve, whilst this haggard, old, talentless nobody is able to perform purely because of the success of her late husband.

And for those who are wondering, yes she [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9kgu71d81U#t=79"]did[/URL] caterwaul in the middle of the song
Christ that is genuinely, unequivocally horrible and I hate her for it more every second.
If i was part of her band i would actually throw myself off the stage in embarrassment.
Fucking hell, that sounded awful in every sense of the word.
It's anti-art guys, you unsophisticates wouldn't understand. It's pretty ironic though that this sort of thing is now seen as an example of the pretentiousness of modern art, when the fluxus movement ono was part of was originally founded to take the piss out of that very thing
I don't see how it fits in at glasto either

Anti-art shouldn't be presented and treated as art, especially when the audience paid expecting an actual performance, not someone mocking art by being fucking horrible.

I love the end where she's just like, okay, hey, stop playing, thanks.
Can't you all see? It's a cry for help. She's telling you that she loves you and not to worry about whatever's troubling you.

Maybe by its contempories, but time inevitably pushes anti-art into the realm of conventional art whether its creators like it or not. Much of the original dadaists work now fits perfectly alongside with art that was actually intended to be good and/or serious

Everyone knows yoko and what she does so you can't really say the crowd were misled

This is better though
This reminds me, isn't Yoko Ono regularly going out of her way to keep the guy who killed Lennon in prison even though he can supposedly go out ?
yoko ono is human garbage

yea, all that matters in the end to her, not all of the countless, innocent victims being affected during the massacre
i'm normally the last person to say stuff that is pretty out there n that is 'pretentious' or downright shit or whatever. like i'm always interested in people who are putting their all into things and trying to be interesting and different for the love of it
but fuck yoko ono. fuck everything about her. fuck her

I feel so sorry for anyone who's at that performance just so they can get a good spot for the next band playing.
why does it look like the band is throwing confused glances around, like the lead singer is missing and ono showed up unannounced

Pardon my ignorance, but I've heard there was some controversy surrounding her and McCartney. Can someone sum up what happened?
The Powerpuff Girls Beat-Alls episode makes a lot more sense once you realise that Moko Jono wasn't making money noises, she was just taking the piss out of Yoko Ono.

To be fair though she was already an established performance artist -working predominantly with Fluxus- before she met Lennon and is generally respected in contemporary art circles.
I say 'Generally' as her earlier work was definitely her best (Cut Piece in particular) and has more to do with her connection to Fluxus than anything else, to be blunt she's just a 'has been' riding on early successes and the whole relationship with Lennon doesn't really factor into it.
To the casual observer who knows her for that maybe that is why she intrigues them and still get's an audiance, to anyone else it's the fact she was a part of one of the 20th century's most influential theatre groups.
Either way, has been.

I doubt she'd have been selected for Glastonbury in consideration of her work with Fluxus. Glastonbury caters to a predominantly younger audience, and the majority of the people in the audience will purely recognise her for her relationship with Lennon.

True but I was speaking more broadly as to how she has managed to sustain her career so long, were she just another rockstar ex-wife chances are she'd just have gotten a MTV reality tv show and that's about it. Either way she is living of former glories; Doing Fluxus for the Performance Art stuff and shagging John Lennon for her wider notoriety.
