BBC viewers tuning in for the Platinum Party at the Palace were left underwhelmed as many complained Celeste “butchered” Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World.

As she performed in front of Buckingham Palace, viewers took to Twitter to share their review of the well-known song on social media.
One user penned: “Was that singer Celeste drunk or just that bad? Nothing like ruining a great song. #PlatinumPartyatthePalace.”
Another agreed: “What a wonderful world, by Celeste? My ears bleeding blood now. Can’t understand why they invited her to sing that song #PlatinumPartyatthePalace.”
A third pointed out: “I’ve just sat open mouthed at a Lady called Celeste murdering What A Wonderful World. I presume lack of the right tune was her making it her own. #PlatinumPartyatthePalace.”
“Well, Celeste whoever she is has just absolutely murdered a wonderful world. Criminal,” a fourth person moaned.

One user argued: “I don’t understand why Celeste is getting so much s**t for her performance? I think she sounded great #PlatinumPartyatthePalace.”
Another penned: “Looks like I’m the only one who liked Celeste performance. Celeste x Hans Zimmer [love heart emoji] #PlatinumPartyatthePalace.”
A third chimed in with: “Kudos to Celeste at #PlatinumPartyatthePalace. Wow that sounded amazing, powerful, wonderful, yet must have been so difficult with that huge orchestra and audience. Well done! [three applause emojis].”
