People have been saying the same thing since Capital FM revealed the line-up for their 2025 Summertime Ball, which will take place on June 15 at Wembley Stadium, and some are not pleased.

Capital FM has just confirmed the line-up for this year’s Summertime Ball, including such stars as Benson Boone, Busted VS McFly, and Rita Ora. However people have been left disappointed by the event’s two main headliners.

Hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Siân Welby will be guiding fans through the day-long event as some of the biggest names in music take to the stage. Mariah Carey and Will Smith have been announced as the two headliners for this year’s event, which will take place on Sunday, June 15, in London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. Some of the other performers include KSI, Lola Young, Zara Larson, Reneé Rapp, and Jessie J.

However, despite the long list of famous and popular performers, people have taken to social media to share their disappointment after learning about who the headliners were. One of these people was Lauren, who took to TikTok to film her reaction to finding out that Will Smith was one of the headliners.

Lauren, who is seen watching the headliner announcement with anticipation, wrote on the video, “When Capital said to film your reaction to the stb headliner.”

Her face quickly faded as Will Smith was announced as the headliner on the radio. While the announcement was being made, Lauren kept looking disappointed.

“I was expecting more… where is Gracie and Sabrina and Ed Sheeran,” the 22-year-old wrote in the caption of the video.

The headliner announcement also left Lauren and other people disappointed. People quickly took to social media to share their opinions after Capital announced Mariah Carey and Will Smith would co-headliners of the one-day festival, some calling it “the worst” lineup.

One user wrote on X, “I believe this is the worst Capital Summertime Ball lineup I’ve ever seen. I think I might want to go again.”

Mariah Carey and Will Smith are Capital’s summertime ball’s headliner, according to another person. along with a confused man’s gif.

A third person went so far as to defend the event, saying that it was “wild to see literal tasteless children” responding to Capital FM’s criticism of the Summertime Ball lineup because it didn’t have many one-hit dancers.

“There are literally hundreds of hits between Mariah Carey, Will Smith, JADE, Busted, McFly, Jessie J,” according to the lyrics.

Another person replied: “If I see one more 12 year old say ‘why Mariah Carey she’s only known for a Christmas song’” along with a facepalm emoji.

One user praised the summertime ball lineup as “10/10 this year,” while another wrote that it was “probably the best lineup I’ve seen for a hot minute #CapitalFM.”

Another person said, “The summertime ball lineup is actually good for once.”

One user responded, “Contrary point: Mariah & Will Smith don’t appeal to that demographic, and it’s a brand that’s meant to appeal to younger audiences.”

A defendant who wrote a book about the jewelry heist on Tuesday admitted regret to participating in the Paris trial of the ten people accused of robbing Kim Kardashian at gunpoint, while a defendant who was a witness categorically denied any involvement.

On October 2 and 3, 2016, two other suspects entered her room, tied her up, and allegedly stole about $10 million worth of her jewelry from her. Yunice Abbas, 71, claims he stayed in a Paris hotel lobby while he was on the lookout.

However, Abbas has attempted to capitalize on the crime by publishing his account in the 2021 book entitled “I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian.”

The presiding judge then inquired the author why he had bragged about the theft while the prosecutor presented a copy of the book to the judge.

Abbas shook his head vigourously from left to right while seated in the dock wearing a short-sleeved check shirt.

The short, bald man continued, “Totally regretted” taking part in the theft, saying, “It makes me very uneasy.”

Abbas has claimed that he took a bicycle to the crime scene and fled the scene by dropping a bag of loot as he fled.

The only item the police were able to retrieve from the holdup was a diamond necklace, which he picked up but missed.

Abbas claimed that one of his “too many” jobs was to have opened his eyes on Kardashian when he stole from him.

Throughout the entire court proceeding, the defendant, who is now suffering from Parkinson’s disease, held his right hand over his heart. When he became anxious, he claimed it was to stop it from sputtering.

Tuesday, the accused’s criminal history was reviewed by the presiding judge.

He also cited a number of convictions for armed robbery in which Abbas was armed with a gun, as well as one for using fake number plates to rob people while also mentioning one for using fake number plates to rob people while also mentioning one for using fake number plates to conceal cannabis in cars.

Not a “thug,”

Didier Dubreucq, one of his coaccusados, was similarly questioned about his prior convictions.

After being diagnosed with cancer while serving a pretrial detention, Didier assured the court that he was physically and mentally capable of speaking when he arrived in the afternoon after receiving chemotherapy.

Does it bother you to mention that you were a robber in the past? David De Pas, the president of the court, posed a question regarding Didier’s convictions of armed robberies a decade ago, for which he had already served a 23-year sentence.

The 69-year-old said, “I’m a good guy,” rejecting claims that he was a “thug.”

Didier said he stopped making “big mistakes” as a father when he was 50 years old and denied being a part of robbing Kardashian.

Although he’s known her as “Karda-bothersome,” because, unintentionally, she destroyed my life, Didier remarked with a piercing gaze that matched his moniker “Blue Eyes” in recent years.

“Easy shortcuts”

Abbas previously described his history as having “moments of weakness” when in need of money.

He said, “I resisted things that I thought would be easy shortcuts, but ended up complicating my life.”

Between his prior convictions, he worked as a car mechanic, or he returned to a closed workshop.

Abbas is not being detained, just like the other nine defendants.

He claimed that one of his neighbors joked that the court had already released him on Monday night after he returned home from the trial’s opening day.

However, his lawyer asked if he would be willing to face punishment if found guilty.

You’re never ready, you know. There will of course be a price, he said.

On May 13, a highly anticipated interview with Kim Kardashian, 44, will be held.

Nine men and a woman are on trial, mainly men in their 60s and 70s with criminal histories and go-to nicknames like “Old Omar” and “Blue Eyes.”

However, the victim’s lawyer on Monday was determined to dispel the stigma surrounding the alleged “kind old men” who were raped during Paris Fashion Week.

The public shouldn’t fall for the “myth of friendly, Robin Hood-style pensioners,” according to Henri de Beauregard, who represents the night receptionist forced to accompany the robbers to Kardashian’s room.
