Olympic Opening ceremony watch along

[Theremedy]

I can’t see a thread yet but please do point me in the right direction if there is one!

Anyone else watching? It’s all kicking off at 6:30pm, apparently with the athletes parade first.

London 2012 OC was remarkable, I’m hoping the French can match that magic!

What about the hot Tongan bloke who's normally on his own in a grass skirt and Johnson's Baby Oil. Will he be in a pedalo?

I'm getting Dunkirk vibes. It's like "if anyone has a boat Paris 2024 needs you!"

Too many fun facts from Hazel and Andrew.

Ooh, Le Sauce

Bahamas close in the uniform stakes.

That’s it, I’ve opened du vin (it’s French)

lol 😂
I'm sure his there , we haven't seen him yet

Why aren't there actual French singers? Surely they must have some! Not Lady Gaga poncing about!

I bet there's French singers cursing Lady Gaga right now

It’s going to be the parcour-ing accordionists next.

I'm sorry Lady G, but Bruno Tonioli did this whole pink feather thing better.

This is really bad. I'm feeling very superior, so far.

So far it’s really lacking atmosphere for me.

The sound is shite because it’s not in an enclosed space

This is beautifully chaotic

Very Cabaret

Underwhelmed so far. Why haven't they got a french artist singing this?

At this point if there is no cancan I am going to be very disappointed.

Lady Ga ga , she thinks she is French
Channelling her French ness

You can tell it hasn't been rehearsed.

Elton would have smashed this

I’m glad I’ve found you as I need this explaining to me.

To give it to Gaga learning songs in French is hard, I remember from Year 7

It's actual Lady Gaga? I thought it was a French lookalike 😂

You can see many of the flag bearers and where are all the athletes going to congregate afterwards?

Interesting given the number of different sports that two different Olympics have had footballers in the opening ceremonies.

Anyway - Lady Gaga is more interesting than the boats!

Nice tattoos not
