Things could be so much worse then Emile Sande, she did a duet with a twat called Professor Green. Be thankful he is not on.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

I'd love it if they burnt all of the flags on the olympic torch. You know, just for giggles.

 

[Linius]

Kromowidjojo repping The Netherlands. Well deserved.

Yeah, two gold

 

[Kurtofan]

He's stil pissed London beat Paris, even after all this time.

Uh?I'm glad London got the games since we don't have to pay.

 

[brokenbeans]

Bring on the fat Greek guys!

 

[Carbonox]

Ed Sheeran's one of the most boring and overrated artists going lately. His material hurts my head.

 

[Superimposer]

Very doubtful, same with whoever was hoping for Stone Roses. Both of those are Manc bands.

This show looks like it's taking the London route rather than a British Isles one.

Emeli Sande is Scottish, Muse will be on later, Pink Floyd, Annie Lennox, Elbow are from Manc, it's not impossible

 

[BigJonsson]

Anyone have a list of the flag bearers? Who is carrying it for the Americans?

 

[linsivvi]

Elbow!!!

Now we are talking.

 

[mclem]

ELBOW!

 

[D4Danger]

a big cage should come out of the ground and we settle who's the best with a Royal Rumble.

 

[lazybones18]

who is this?

 

[seventynine]

Ooh Elbow.

 

[dave_m123]

Am I the only one who thought Madness were awful? Doesnt help that I dont like any of their popular songs. Way to overplayed. But tongihts live performance was pretty shocking.

Emile Sande has a good voice tho.

 

[Willkiller]

Elbow! Better.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Can't stand Elbow

edit: wrong song, this one's shite as well

 

[SteveWD40]

Guy Garvey lives near me.

 

[Wes]

THROUGH THE CROWD!

SO AWESOME

 

[Linius]

ELBOW, this gonna be good.

[LegoArmo]

Elbow singing that one song they always sing.

 

[LanceVance]

Yay elbow

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Coming through the crowd? Who are they? Edge and Christian?

Get. Out

 

[Xun]

Not a fan of Ed Sheeran.

I really dislike his voice, since it sounds so generic to me.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Uh?I'm glad London got the games since we can't pay.

Fixed.

 

[Keyser Soze]

They are coming through the crowd.

WHO'S SIDE ARE THEY ON??

 

[Hot Coldman]

Elbow singing that one song they always sing.

This isn't Grounds for Divorce...

 

[mokeyjoe]

I think a lot of Brits would have said a similar thing before the last couple of weeks.

 

[thebeeks]

That's kinda cool, having them come through the crowd and all.

 

[brokenbeans]

Armpit.

 

[smallios74]

I wanna hat with a light bulb on!

 

[firehawk12]

Through the crowds!

 

[Strawman]

This is great with the athletes coming through the crowd

 

[Jamie OD]

Coming through the crowd? Who are they? Edge and Christian?

For the benefit of those with flash photography...

 

[Hindle]

Thats a cool touch. Having all the athletes pass through the crowd.

 

[mrklaw]

EDIT: Fuck yes Elbow. So glad I was wrong.

They might be having bands that are well known globally. I don't think Take That are that big internationally.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I only know Elbow from their "grounds for divorce" song.

 

[28 Posts Later]

What, a big concert?

No, utterly terrible.

 

[Qasiel]

I wonder if any of Cameroon will turn up. Didn't half of them flee the Olympics?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I work in retail, I hear his shit every day, I want him to die a death of fire.

 

[Linius]

This isn't Grounds for Divorce...

Open Arms. But they play this song every festival gig they do. Garvey always does the same tricks, but yeah, Elbow is still pure magic.

 

[Tugatrix]

Elbow? fucking RTP(portugal) made a break to announce the lottery numbers, fuck this shit

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Can't believe Next did the TeamGB outfits for the two Ceremonies, glad there's no gold foil this time though.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Suddenly feel the urge to buy a jacket from Next.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Dont let the door hit you as you fuck off then

lololol Go fuck yourself you twat. I'm not interested in a marathon retread of British music.

 

[Nolan.]

'Thanks coach' aww

 

[McNei1y]

What happened?

I believe it was the Korean fencer that was screwed out of winning because of the judges. IIRC, the Korean fencer was going to win but time was stuck or something when it should've ran out and the opposing fencer was able to win because of it.

Or something like that.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I would've thought "A Day Like This" would've been the obvious choice for an Elbow song...?

I'd love them to do "First Steps" though, that has been my song of the games, congrats to the BBC for that move.

 

[Soyongdori]

Awww

Poor Korean fencer, she got so jobbed

I don't get it. What happened?
