A group of British celebrities have come together to perform a rendition of Oasis's iconic song "Wonderwall," but it seems their efforts have fallen flat with fans.
Released by the BBC ahead of England's World Cup match, the video has sparked widespread criticism and disappointment. Fans have taken to social media to express their disgust, with many labeling the performance as "cringe-inducing" and "worse than Imagine."
The video features a star-studded lineup, including Micah Richards, Ross Kemp, Claudia Winkleman, and Greg James, among others. However, their attempts at singing along to the beloved song have been met with ridicule and scorn.
One of the most memorable moments comes when David Baddiel joins in, paying a cheeky nod to the ultimate England anthem, "Three Lions." The performance also includes a questionable Liam Gallagher impression by Greg James.
The video was initially removed from the BBC website after being shared on social media platform X, where fans took to expressing their outrage. Many blamed the performance for England's semi-final loss to Argentina.
The popularity of "Wonderwall" seems to continue to surprise and amuse fans, despite the song never having reached number one in the UK. The Gallagher brothers have previously spoken about the song's enduring popularity, with Noel describing it as a "magical moment" between the people and the players.
Despite the backlash, the video has sparked a conversation about the enduring popularity of "Wonderwall" and its place in British culture. While fans may have been disappointed by the celebrity rendition, it's clear that the song remains a beloved anthem for many.
