Jay-Z Kicks Off Glastonbury Set With Oasis Cover
The rapper mocks Noel Gallagher's criticism of his headline slot
Jay-Z kicked off his controversial Glastonbury headline slot tonight (June 28) with an Oasis cover - hitting back at Noel Gallagher's criticism of his booking.
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.
Speaking earlier to Tim Westwood for Radio 1 and 1Xtra, Jay-Z said of the Gallagher controversy: "You know that sometimes remarks are made out of ignorance. If Noel Gallagher saw me perform and he said that then I understand that - that is a personal opinion and I have no bearing on how he feels – you know – it's just not your taste. But he has never seen me perform - I'm sure or else he wouldn't say that. We will see what happens after tonight!
"You know the funny thing about it with Noel and whoever else – for the most part, everyone's ready. I thought the resistance - it would be like – I thought it would be like an old guard versus the new guard but it's really not like that. You know, right now, every single person that I have seen, that I've encountered, that walked up to me - everyone is very excited about the show and ready for it so I feel good about it."

that cover was crap. it would have been better had jay z rapped to it or something.
notice how the crowd actually started singing along and they would have kept going if the music didnt cut off.
Wow - for a "musician" he sure is tone deaf! Guaranteed the crowd would have wanted Oasis up there over Jay-Z at that moment in time.
this version is just a joke.
jayz insulted noel gallagher doing this thing, i can't think this is not a joke cause he can't barely sing and he's not at his house but at glastonbury with a huge crowd watchin him...
anyway gallagher won this "feud", cause jay tried to diminish gallagher ruining a masterpiece, but people were singing oasis not jayz
i can just think it was the highlight of the performance with all the shit that came after that, anyway gallagher doesn't care about him of course
ur right fuzzy. think the crowd singing along proves that they would rather have been seeing oasis rather than jay z. i tought it was embarrassing cringeworthing that, not only did jay z not know the words but couldnt even mime the song either. plus he cudnt sing either. guy cudnt hold a tune in a bucket. was a real low point 4 glastonbury
