Fuck it. They should have used recordings and made these guys mime.The singing quality is very poor so far.

 

[Linius]

Though The Beatles are my favourite, I love The Kinks as well. You Brits got some amazing musical history. I'm jelly.

 

[LegoArmo]

Danny Boyle should be pissed at them for ruining the brilliant Olympics he got going.

 

[krishian]

This is much better

 

[zedge]

CBC shows Corrie, my mom has been watching forever...

When we were in London a few weeks ago she went nuts every time it was on TV even though it wasn't at the same point that the CBC is at

I watch corrie. We are almost caught up to UK now. Was like a year behind.

 

[danwarb]

Ray Davies > All.

 

[woolley]

So far the only thing that I've gotten is that London has traffic.

 

[Zaph]

Madness
Blur
Pet Shop Boys
One Direction
Ray Davies

Spot the odd one out...

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Ray Davies looks like he's ready for the ground

 

[Joel Was Right]

These ceremonies have been surreal for me. Smiles, laughter, bewilderment; just sheer fun.

 

[nny]

I hope those ramps are for May, Hammond and Clarkson jump.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Isn't this the song about getting high?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I'd actually like to see Diversity perform here

We should have got them to do the synchronized swimming, TeamGB's Peter Pan routine was awful.

 

[bud]

i dunno, this ceremony's pretty cute so far. :3

 

[Kurtofan]

Shalalala?

 

[Psychotext]

I've just realised that we should be getting a bunch of half naked Rio girls rocking up to take the flag.

Win!

/keeps watching

They didn't have to dig a hole to pick up One Direction, indeed.

 

[MarkMclovin]

So far the only thing that I've gotten is that London has traffic.

Pretty much sums us up.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Danny Boyle should be pissed at them for ruining the brilliant Olympics he got going.

I heard that him, Jess Ennis and Chris Hoy are gonna set fire to an effigy of Cowell before this is over

 

[BigJonsson]

Just be happy

The next 2 ceremonies will be in Russia and Brazil........the music is going to be all not-english and scary

 

[Nolan.]

Amy Winehouse would have been so good here

 

[John Dunbar]

should have just gotten roger waters to perform the wall.

 

[Ash_69]

People are gonna hate no matter what they show, don't even bother.

Erm, I'm not a perennial hater. I thought the opening ceremony and the Olympics in general have been great. Nothing bad to say about it. Just think that the closing ceremony so far has lacked spectacle so far although I am willing to give it a chance since it is early.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Fuck it. They should have used recordings and made these guys mime.The singing quality is very poor so far.

That would be terrible, if they did that why bother having them in the stadium, just use the Tupac hologram tech.

 

[giga]

So is this going to just be a big concert.

 

[Dark Schala]

Who was in charge of the Closing Ceremony? Cowell?

 

[Hackbert]

I hope those ramps are for May, Hammond and Clarkson jump.

oh please. i miss the show

 

[danwarb]

Sounds off on TV.

 

[Yen]

I want to see Gilmour/Waters or Page/Zeppelin!

 

[Linius]

should have just gotten roger waters to perform the wall.

I've seen that in 2010. One of the best shows I ever saw.

 

[DemonNite]

what are the chances of Jedward coming on?

 

[Kurtofan]

Just be happy

The next 2 ceremonies will be in Russia and Brazil........the music is going to be all not-english and scary

Non English=Scary lol?

At least they won't put inside jokes upon inside jokes ;p ;p

 

[Achtius]

is it all music and singing?

 

[thebeeks]

Just be happy

The next 2 ceremonies will be in Russia and Brazil........the music is going to be all not-english and full of foreign wackiness

That's how I'm looking at it.

 

[twobear]

At least 1D didn't make me want to go to bed.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Who was in charge of the Closing Ceremony? Cowell?

Gary Barlow I believe. Fucking tax dodging bastard. :/

 

[Psychotext]

It's just going to be a rock concert basically... nothing cool like the start of the opening ceremony.

 

[Joel Was Right]

So is this going to just be a big concert.

Yes. It was confirmed earlier

 

[Mr. F]

I'm going to be happy to see this Rona commercial retired. Oh Canada.

 

[Jamie OD]

You have to remember the closing ceremony is a more low-key affair when compared to the opening ceremony.

 

[Zampano]

Iron Maiden next

 

[The Elite]

Ctv back to commercial.

Wankers!

 

[krishian]

Iron Maiden next

Best Olympics ever

 

[Hot Coldman]

Who was in charge of the Closing Ceremony? Cowell?

No, you'd have heard about that if he was in charge. But whoever IS in charge seems to have watched a bit too much of his shows when figuring out what to put in. Half an hour in and already there's been pulls from BGT and X Factor. :/

 

[BigJonsson]

Non English=Scary lol?

At least they won't put inside jokes upon inside jokes ;p ;p

I'm kidding........they should just play the Soviet anthem over and over and over, thats some epic stuff

 

[Wes]

The hockey stadium seats are lit up! That's awesome.

 

[Koodo]

I'm expecting Rio's 10 minute presentation to be the highlight and only good part of this ceremony.

 

[Linius]

Yes. It was confirmed earlier

And I'm fine with that, considering British music is mostly good.
