The crowds booed as a big picture of George Bush appeared on the big screens, as Jay-Z then freestyled about the US government's slow response to Hurricane Katrina's impact New Orleans and its effect on the poorer black communities. He ended his rap with a definitive "fuck Bush".
He then added: "Let's change it up" as a picture of Democratic hopeful Barack Obama appeared, and Jay-Z dived into a version 'Public Service Announcement'.

I'm kind of in love with Hova right now
Ooooo
Nicely done, Mr. Carter.
Before the show started, a montage of clips played, concluding with the recent interview Gallagher gave where he said the Pyramid Stage performance was "not right" for the festival.
Before a huge crowd, the superstar rapper then mimed along to Oasis' huge 1995 hit 'Wonderwall', to huge cheers.
Oh for God's Sake, Amy
The troubled singer's set ended in controversy when she appeared to assault a member of the audience.

Oasis will release their next studio album, 'Dig Out Your Soul', on October 6 on their Big Brother label. The album will be preceded by a single, 'The Shock Of The Lightning', on September 29.

For the first day and a half, the Rossiya made rapid progress, speeding past thin ranks of birch trees that hung like silver curtains in front of barely undulating, featureless green fields. Trackside clumps of pale yellow primroses and newly raked vegetable patches next to congregations of wooden houses testified that spring had arrived west of the Ural mountain range.

Abilities to speak or breathe...
Wee Kyle covering 'Don't Look Back In Anger.' With adorable somewhat-bad-dancing accompaniment.
I've listened to this song, oh THOUSANDS of times, and I have to say, the B-3 is a very nice touch.
As is the darling Scots imp singing it.

So cool
