My initial thoughts on it:
It's good to see them on TV and NOT on the X-Factor.
The interview segments were completely pointless.
Jon sounded bad and looked like he struggled a lot. His enunciation during 'It's My Life' in particular was pitiful and it just sounded like a complete mangle of random syllables in places.
Richie's vocals saved the songs and he sounded quite strong vocally.
The editing was absolutely diabolical.
The audience were great and seemed to really get into the show.
All in all, it was good to see them on the box but if they were going to cut it to ribbons like that, I'd sooner they not have bothered airing it (or perhaps just aired fewer songs)... and to finish on WSYCGH? That was the final insult for me tico_stick.
I turned it off before they even played the first chord.
