The BBC has come under fire after viewers complained that the World Cup opening ceremony was 'ruined' when presenters spoke over Michael Bublé's performance. The Canadian singer, 50, performed at the opening ceremony in Toronto ahead of the match between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, viewers were left unimpressed as BBC host Gabby Logan and her colleagues Micah Richards, Wayne Rooney, and Olivier Giroud could be heard chatting and laughing over the performance.
Viewers Slam BBC for Disrespectful Coverage
Many took to social media to express their frustration, with some saying the coverage was 'disrespectful' to the singer and the event. One viewer wrote: 'Why are they talking over Michael Bublé? This is the World Cup opening ceremony, not a chat show!' Another added: 'The BBC has ruined the World Cup opener. Let the man sing!'
Michael Bublé's Performance
Bublé performed his 2022 hit 'Bring It On Home To Me' while standing in the center circle as flags for all competing nations were brought onto the field. The 'Just Haven't Met You Yet' singer appeared moments before the match began, but viewers struggled to hear him due to the commentary.
The BBC has not yet responded to the complaints. This is a breaking story, and updates will follow as more information becomes available.
