Live 8

Did he really make a fool of himself in the studio during Live 8? I didn't see that bit and I can't find a source. Tim Ivorson 4 July 2005 15:57 (UTC)

I have added the NPOV dispute tag to this article until an agreement can be reached on his performance at live8. Saying that he was "ranting", "ignoring the cause of the event" and so on is blatant POV. I would correct the POV problem myself, but I think that a general consensus would be better. --Sanguinus 00:21, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just remove the section... for two reasons: 1. Wikipedia is not about reviewing a particular performance of a comedian. The addition is blatant bias. 2. Even it was a review: Kay's performance while being interviewed at Live8 wasn't brilliant, but I didn't recognise it from the description here... it was no worse than many others.

I've edited this so it is more neutral (or at least less anti Peter Kay and added some more info. Brimstone July 16 2005 *(UTC)
I removed most of the section... not only is it pure opinion, in many parts it is deliberate misinformation. Motor 20:26, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
There's some superlatives in there that are unnecessary, but the way Peter is going at the moment he's going to get a Criticisms subheading soon! :D --PopUpPirate 03:18, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
The thing about him being drunk is unlikely as Kay is teetotal (despide advertising John Smiths)--Crestville 12:12, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the NPOV dispute tag as I think we've gotten rid of most of the POV material. --Sanguinus 12:01, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't see his live 8 appearence myself, but from what I've been told by a friend who did see it, pretty much none of what was previously said in the article was true. I wish I'd seen it myself, but based on secondary information, I'm led to believe the original section on live 8 may well have been factually incorrect, as well as POV. Maybe somebody could correct me here? I'm genuinly interested in what Peter Kay did at live 8 now. Anybody see his performance? What actually happened? Aaarrrggh 21:29, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I saw him. He did have a bit of a clash with the 'voiceover' and was ushered off for a few minutes (though it's likely that this was due more to the 'voiceover man' wanting to say something than Kay's behaviour). Other than that, he did relatively well, although he was far from stunning. --Sanguinus 21:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ah right. Thanks for clearing that up :-) Aaarrrggh 12:10, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Additions by user:Spum

Spum - lots of new information here, which I hope I've managed to keep. I've just restyled and re-ordered some of it, and taken out the odd bit if POV language (I'm not a fan of turns of phrase like "skyrocketed" in encyclopedia articles). --Rayray 14:05, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
