WELL, THAT'S ALRIGHT THEN

It turns out that Pete Doherty wasn't a waste of space, after all, because Bob Geldof says so, and we understand from some of our commenters that Bob Geldof is never wrong:

Bob Geldof said: "I think Doherty and Elton were fantastic. I know there's been a lot of criticism about Pete forgetting his words and stumbling around the stage, but it was undoubtedly a very memorable performance."

Meanwhile, Pete's been blaming Kate Moss for his performance: apparently, they'd just had a row before he went on, and so he wasn't wildly off his cake on cake at all. It's obvious - we know we stumble a lot when we're upset.
