http://www.phoneshopuk.biz Jay-Z answered his critics, notably Oasis's Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury. Striding on stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder, he led the crowd in a rendition of Oasis's "Wonderwall", smiling throughout, and with wife Beyonce Knowles in attendance, his set included songs such as "99 Problems". In a radical departure from the indie rock and guitar bands commonly associated with Glastonbury, the festival recruited the New Yorker in a bid to reach out to a younger audience. Michael Eavis, who runs the festival on his dairy farm, admitted they had "stuck their necks out on this one." Organisers staunchly defended the choice of Jay-Z, despite the slow ticket sales and sniping from Glastonbury veterans like Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher. In April, Gallagher slammed the booking of Jay-Z to headline to festival as "wrong", declaring: "I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong." http://www.phoneshopuk.biz

Nov 16, 2008 - LMAO at Oasis fanboys not being able to tell the difference a parody and a serious cover version. Anybody with half a brain could tell that Jay-Z was merely doing a parody of 'Wonderwall' except a small number of Oasis fans!

Nov 17, 2008 - I have a real problem with Jay z. I really like a handful of tracks he has done BUT I cant stop thinking about Hard Knock Life. I dont think I can forgive him for that TRUELEY AWEFULL SONG. I mean come on, who covers ANNIE?????? That is so super gay I cant even begin to describe. Also very Gangsta that, covering a musical. That said since Black Album and American gangster there may be hope yet.

Nov 18, 2008 - are you serious? i actually think he is a terrible rapper. i hate all of his songs EXCEPT 'hard knock life'. maybe its lame to cover annie, but the song itself was cool. he switched it to being about how its hard living in the ghetto. but we both have real problems with jay-z, i'm with you there

Nov 16, 2008 - Fuck the pricks who think that two genres cant live together on the same stage...and that Bloak from Oasis needs a good damn reality check this is what music needs...Jay-z singing rock songs isnt taking nothing from rock...it enhances it...
