Olympics Closing Ceremony

[birdsoeking]

Let’s hope it’s better than the opening ceremony!

Starts at 7 pm on BBC 1.

Alex Yee will be carrying the GB flag.

ghastly

Is it sunny?

You can't really do the UK National Anthem like this, can you?

Christ alive, she breathes every three words.

I thought Andrew Cotter was being very snide then, saying "performed by her", and then I remembered that there's a singer called HER or something like that. (I'm the oldest 41-year-old in the world.)

I hate this anthem. SNOOZE.

Oh no. Don't do the wobbly voice singing. It's crap.

This is what we have to look forward to. Lots of warbly Star spangled banners.

The acoustics have generally been terrible and the obvious lip synching is obvious.

‘Who is she’

But is she a famous singer? Is she American?

and did they have to do the cliche rock version?

The US anthem.

The world's most murdered anthem by appalling versions.

Yay I'm back. I was human after all.

Who is this singer, anyone know?

Don't. Pimp. Up. National. Anthems.

This is truly fucking awful.

Absolute rubbish

That dance routine with the 5 circles was the epitome of coldness, emptiness, despair and hopelessness. Anybody else pining for the Macarena or Riverdance while watching it?

Or are you dancer?

So embarrassing

She’s no celine

I totally agree

oh i dont like that

Have just said that to a friend. Kind of sub Whitney performance.

Should have just played the guitar for it and dispensed with the awful breathy singing.

Star spangled spanner. I’m getting very cross with all this self indulgent wank.
