Thanks to Princes William & Harry, yesterday's tribute to their mother, Concert for Diana, was a beautiful and memorable celebration of all that she loved. At the event, Princess Diana's (as well as a few of her sons') favorite singers/dancers/actors/comedians all graced the stage to honor her memory. Unfortunately I missed the live broadcast of the full 6 hour show and only caught the NBC special, but it looks like the special event went off without a hitch. Diana's good friend, Elton John, opened and closed the show, but in the middle some of today's biggest pop stars took the stage. From Fergie to Pharrell, Rod to Duran Duran, the concert ran the gamut of pop music.
The event benefited a number of charities, which is fabulous, but for those of you who still dream of marrying one of the princes, Harry's girlfriend Chelsey was there, along with Will's maybe-reunited ex, Kate Middleton, but she sat a few rows back. Of the performances I caught (unforch, NBC didn't show Beckham's cameo in the special -- booo city), only Diddy seemed a little out of sorts on stage, "Make some noise if you miss Diana!!" Uh, right.

1NICE PICTURES!!!
2They should make this an annual thing. They would raise so so much money. I'd schedule a vacay to London if I could go. The only other place to see so many performers is the Live 8 in the UK and a few other places.
3"Make some noise if you miss Diana!!" Uh, right.
Classic.
At any rate, I thought it was thoughtful, and there is no doubt that Diana would be proud.
4omg!orince william is freakin hot......peincess diana would be so proud!!
5This concert was so boring, however I loved Elton John's performance! Your Song almost brought me to tears.
6Great pics!
7I wonder what music Di would have liked if she were alive today. Her sons added people they liked, which is cool, but I'm inclined to think she might have hung out with P Diddy, but it doesn't seem like the kind of music she would have listened to.
Anyone remember several years ago when Wills used to have a crush on Britney Spears and exchanged email with her??
8lov lady di xxxxx
9it was a great show, even though I only watched it on tv. think that Diana would have loved that show! Even the latest stuff was representational of her style!
10I thought it was really good, can't believe i'm going to say this....but P diddy's performance was the best, he really impressed me.......
11Ugh, Diddy... he's such an ass.
I was pretty surprised top hear that Fergie played at this considering she'd had a previous commitment supporting Justin Timberlake in a very heavily advertised double bill concert in Dublin. Nice of her to bail on that so she could take part in a more prestigious, high profile event. Her no doubt very disappointed fans got to see 50 Cent instead. Great!
12R.I.P. Diana.
13I like the idea of the tribute, but all in all it must be said:
Diddy sucks.
Aside from P. sh*tty, it looks like the concert was an overall success! Congrats to the Princes. Glad they could pull it off! I'm betting they'll find different, yet creative way to pay tribute to their beautiful mother and, again, raise a ton of money for charity!
14Prince Harry is going to be MUCH better looking than his brother!!
And I got to see my Kiefer. YAY!
15o i lv the princes they are so lovely and gorgeous, it was really amazing
16Goodness the princes are handsome...
17Why doesn't Diddy just go away. He is always hanging around sucking up. He is worse than Lopez.He is over - no one cares. Get over it.
18I watched the whole thing. Diddy didn't belong and he really doesn't sing, just talks. It was a moving tribute to her and very well done. And Harry is hotter than Will now! WOW.
19i thought diddy's performance was amazing, he didn't just sing - he actually paid tribute with a very fitting song. if you know anything about him and why he wrote that song, you wouldn't cut him down. he belonged there and really added a lot to the show.
20p diddy was actually really amazing, he knows how to work a crowd and when he was up there everyone had goosebumps its like one of the best songs, he was really fab
21Prince Harry is so much hotter.
22I'm sad i missed it
looks like a great event.. Harry is hotter i agree.
23"Make some noise if you miss Diana"
What a tool!
24Kiefer is so hot!!!
25I watched most of the show live and I have to say that for the most part, I quite enjoyed it. Got to hear some music that I may not have oridnarily taken the time to take a listen to.
While I am not a fan of Diddy, I think he did an okay job, in spite of the aforementioned "Make some noise remark." I did scratch my head on that one.
Kanye's shades were cool
The home movies at the end were a real tearjerker.
And not a spot of rain - in fact it was sunny.
26Overall a fitting tribute to their mother. She would be proud.
Oh yeah - another touching moment was in between the sets -they showed clips of ordinary people whose lives were touched my Diana - whether it be during a photo op at one of the charities she visited, etc. It was remarkable how many lives she affected in a positive way.
27am i the only one who think that Harry is much more hotter then his brother?
28oh sorry LaurenG22, didn't see your comment there on Harry. I'm with you on that one!
29The princes are handsome. I
them! David is David. Can't stand Diddy. The performances
were ok. I could barely hear Fergie.
30im still on like a high from it, the princes were so fantastic and the concert was as perfect as it possibly could b for princess diana, it was sunny in london and apparently no where elese, it was pretty strange coz its been really raining and cloudy for weeks and its not so gr8 today either, but yesterday was really sunny. i hope people will let the princess be peaceful now coz how hard must it be for the princes, i think theyve handled it so gr8
31Gr8 picz i think princess Diana was brilliant i am really sad that she died in the car accident
32I thought Fergie blew her performance of Glamorous. She lip synced the chorus (it was clearly pre-recorded) and tried to sing the rest of the song on her own but the microphone was set to ultra low so you couldn't hear her 'sing' the non-chorus parts of the song. When she finishsed her performance, the crowd's applause was tenative.
Nelly Furtado, on the other hand sang all of her songs and the crowd was on their feet. You could tell the crowd was into her performance because you could hear her loud and clear from beginning to end and she sounded great!
33yea i didnt watch all of it
34it was like 8 hours long lol
but i luved her
i was like 11 when she died though lol
I must say I missed the live show & am sad about that..the NBC special was just a teaser.
first off i gotta say hello when did harry become suddenly hot..well at least to me...i wanna go pay him a visit..william is cute too.. damn..Diana would be so proud of both of them
I agree with hills & hudginstwin - I liked the Diddy performance. He picked an appropriate song (which he composed for rapper Notorious B.I.G.) & I too got goosebumpy. Yea, Diddy's over the top..but he brought his flavor to the scene..good for him!!
RIP Diana - you really were the People's Princess
35I did not watch it. She did have 1 good looking boy
The other looks to much like his
dad.
36I am glad that they did a concert for her. It looks like everyone had a blast!
37These boys obviously loved their mom very much!! Too bad some of the performances were in a word "ridiculous". Most showed respect and dignity for the venue. Kudos to the princes for only selling a program of the events and forbidding the sale of other useless memorabilia. I, for the most part, enjoyed the concert.....especially Elton John. Is it just me or has he morphed into "Auntie" Elton??? He looked like the princes' Auntie on stage!!! Don't get me wrong, I loved it!!!Hahaha!
38Diddy is an "iddy-it".
39Oops forgot about the Fergie "Glamorous" debacle - I was actually quite embarrassed for her; she redeemed herself with the second song in the set at least
40Tonight at 7 on VH1 classic, they are repeating the whole show, and I think either VH1 or VH1 classic is doing a 2 hour condensed version in the next few days.
41lol dh931 auntie elton. tbh i like elton and he can belt out some songs but i dont really get y hes so up there with the gr8s i think hes good but not fantasticly spetacular.
42The concert was great my fave moments were Elton John and Take That. I think Diddy did good he sang the right song and did a good job.
43I really liked Duran Duran, Rod Stewart and Tom Jones! Harry and William are gorgeous and David Beckham was the icing on the cake...
44I didn't watch the whole thing, I missed Elton John, which I really wanted to see...when it happened in 1997 (yikes I was 24..I'm old), it was so sad and his revamped song for her made it even sadder. I saw Duran Duran, LOVE them...felt like a blast from the past. Didn't see Diddy so I can't comment on his performance but if that's what he said, then he's an a$$.
Oh and I think both Princes are cute but Harry is going to be much hotter..I agree ladies.
45i wanna be a princess :princess:
is there a smiley for that?
46guess not
47I watched that, made me cry.
48The concert was amazing. Elton John was my favourite performer of the night. Prince William and Prince Harry did a really great job organizing it.
49I loved the concert and it was in Wembley!!! (I'm patriotic)Harry is sooooooo much cuter compared to William!!! I was only 4 when she died:(
