Her set came to an abrupt end, with the big screens suddenly switching off and Missy and her dancers left looking confused onstage.
No explanation was given but it looked like the plug was pulled after she and her dancers came on in white adidas tracksuits bearing the German flag, with Deutschland written on the back.
Perhaps an ill-judged choice of garb given England's crushing at the German team's feet last week but unlikely she meant any malice.
Either the set ended because of the negative reaction from some of the crowd who took exception to her outfit or the plug was pulled mid-track because she overran, but if this was the case surely they'd be professional enough to let her finish the song.
Her costume change came just minutes after Germany beat Argentina so did she have a spare Argentina outfit backstage just in case?
And so what if she just wanted to support Germany for the fun of it? The USA's no longer in and neither is England guys so get over it.
We all need to find new teams to support!
Incidentally Missy came onstage 20 minutes late - was she watching the match or was it a coincidence?
She put on a good show for the short time she was actually onstage, playing medleys of her biggest hits, rapping live but it looked like she was miming during the singing parts.
She then strangely brought on a girl called Shoraya, who she promised was amazing but who mimed her way - badly - through some anonymous track before Missy returned in aforementioned tracky.
And we all know how that ended. Strange scenes all the same.
Snoop Dogg followed with a fantastic set and should have been the headliner.
More on him later.

Missy Elliott was booed off of stage because she wore the germany tracksuits which was never going to go down well in England what was she thinking. She has been paid to perform in London not to show off the teams colours of who she is now supporting as USA are out. If she came out in a USa tracksuit as she is from there in support for her country we would have loved it. Her set was awful and she mimed most of it. No one threw bottles at her I was there. At wireless and most festivals bottles are thrown in the air no to hit or hurt anyone but just in the moment. Bottles were also thrown in this was when Snoop was on, and he was outstanding a true legend and he was the star of the show for me and everyone I was with. Except for Missy it was a great day and throughly enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteIt may have been an error but it wasn't malicious, people need to be better sports.
ReplyDeleteTrue about parts of her set, it was a mess but when she did sing live she was good.
She has an england strip on underneath, she was kicked off stage before she could take off the Germany outfit.
ReplyDeleteThe booing was for the stage manager who called time.
If that's true then it's a real shame people were behaving like that.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find reports about her England strip?
Some booing may have been for them calling time but she was getting abuse for her tracksuit from many others.
Me and my friends were booing because she wore a Germany tracksuit; I didn't see any bottles thrown at her. She should simply have stayed away from the football full stop and concentrate on her performance - it was very average, especially compared to Snoop-a-loop!
