Dizzee Rascal In SingStar Home VIP Rooms: The Aftermath

Hi guys,

Firstly, thanks to everyone that turned up for the Dizzee Rascal gig in the SingStar Rooms: VIP two weeks ago.

Home was literally swamped with people piling into the space (apologies if you couldn’t get in initially), though we hope you enjoyed the exclusive gig and had a chance to ask Dizzee some interesting questions.

Outside of Home, after the Q&A, we managed to grab some interview time with (the real) Dizzee, which you can check out below:

Also, for those who couldn’t attend, below are some screenshots from The SingStar Rooms: VIP on the night:

The VIP room will be closing its doors shortly, however it will be re-opening in the near future, completely re-themed and ready for its next event…

The room was broken every time I went in there, eerily silent.

Uncomfortable interview or what!
Its good to have an event like that though its nice Home is doing things like that but as the first event it went completely wrong.. home crashed for most and others couldnt even leave singstar space?! including me… but as long as everyone else had fun not to mention get there username up on this video for 3sec (WOOOOOoooooooo) thats all that matters right,…….. right?

Oh and Street Fighter 4 ALL Day!!!

I really hope the next event will be better organised after the Dizzaster that was.

When We see new FW on PS3 ? It`s not funny. I bought games and I can`t play !!!!!!. Any answer or info ? I don`t know when I buy a new game I have`t any problems !!

Comment11- “Uncomfortable interview or what!”

Lol, yes…..I literally had to look away from my monitor it was so awkward.

Posted on 5 October, 2009 at 10:50 pm by almighty-slayer

That interview was actually embarassing, i couldn’t watch it all the way through

Posted on 6 October, 2009 at 12:15 am by Thorpheus

I felt like i had some toilet paper stuck in my foot on a award ceremony and i was asked to speak to the people while i was watching this video akward moment

ROFL – It seems as though Dizzee has been forced to sign the “if things go completely wrong just act as though they didn’t” contract. The problem is Dizzee isn’t a very good actor, you can see the guy isn’t a happy bunny in that interview.

The whole event was a pretty bad experience for me, hopefully the next one will be a lot better. The only good thing about the event was the cool avatar clothing.

yeah like. Music and ting, yeah for real. Nah man, yeah man, like music and ting. Important, yeah music and tings you know what i mean. Good tings man, nice, yeah for real, know what i mean.

Dizzee you should write a book, your words are as profound as your lyrics.

Great to see that you are doing this kind of stuff in PlayStation Home.

But I got a request. Can you do this also with Calvin Harris? It would be cool to see him in Home! But can you also release a Calvin Harris pack on SingStar?

Regards,

Man, that guy really needs to take lessons on interviewing people, Dizzee looked like he really didn’t want to speak to him

Of course

Seriously though, there were plenty of problems and it could’ve gone better. The space should’ve been added prior to the event to iron out the freezing issues etc. Something suggests that the space simply wasn’t ready but the deal was signed and they had no choice but to launch it.
