Others, meanwhile, have not been so kind. “Sorry @liamgallagher, I’m a big fan but that was shite,” one fan wrote on Twitter, with another saying that Gallagher “really is nothing without his brother. Can’t sing and his songs are shit.”
Some fans also criticised the sound and claimed that Liam was reading his lyrics off a sheet of paper.
Sorry @liamgallagher, I'm a big fan but that was utter shite. #JoolsHolland #laterjools

Liam Gallagher has spent 23 years singing in the same way, singing the same type of song. No musical journey, no development. #laterjools

This Liam Gallagher performance on #laterjools might be the worst thing that's ever happened to my ears.

Some fans, however, were simply enjoying the divisive nature of Gallagher’s performance:
If you search Liam Gallagher on twitter now, you'll find great entertainment in the usual Jools Holland crowd's reaction to LG's performance
