Getting wet on a river, Olympic Opening Ceremony thread deux

[Theremedy]

Will it get awesome?

Who is roof guy?

Will the cauldron be in the Eiffel Tower?

She sang live anyway didn’t she? Great voice. I think they’re obsessed with this song in France.

They’re trying to dry it out…

Good voice

What a puss on that!

I'm watching it on telly in the warm.

Cup of tea and a plate of biscuits as God intended.

100% that’s the issue with how they’ve chosen to state this. Performers feed off of a live audience and vice versa - you just can’t replicate the enclosed roar of a crown in a stadium.

I felt quite sad that we were robbed
if the moment each national team walking into the stadium and you see their eyes light up.

Imagine? Get your own shit anodyne song, don't steal it from the Brits.

come on,to be fair, it’s.a call for peace.

To be fair they are on a river, it’s not going to spread.

Why isn't she singing her own music?

Lovely voice but want to hear a french song.

Sorry, @Porridgeislife you already said what I did, but more concisely!

TBF, it's an Olympic song and features in most modern games

Oh great horse!

LOTS of pp complaining on TwiX about that appalling ' dance routine'.

What's Darth Vader doing?

Horses now ! That is impressive I must say

Oh, this has just made sense of the past 2 hours…

I like the horse!

Absolute fever dream of an opening ceremony. Its like a car crash. But I can't look away 👀

Gestaffelstein - he needs to make an appearance.

Calm down @AnnaMagnani it's the Olympics opening ceremony!

Thats what they said on American TV

The horse on the water is kind of cool

Horse pedalo!

Spare us
