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.

They are going to have to spend some right cashola to sort LA out. It has a massive drugs/homelessness problem

Right. Off to bed. Dog is snoring away - he lost the will a while back

Thought she was awful. She always sounds like she can't really be bothered and doesn't even try and sing well. Her voice sounds so weak and she needs to give it more welly

Snoop as Olympic grandad is my new favourite thing

This My Way singer has a gorgeous voice.

Another song in English as the grand finale. This ceremony could have been just about anywhere in the world. Not much by way of local charm. Other than Tony.

The Astronaut and Michael Jackson...

First Olympics I was old enough to remember.

This has to be the worst miming ever 🙄

Think I'll check out the meteor shower if I can!

I've just had an "argument" with DS about this. Currently upstairs with very little clothing on in disgusted.

DS said the man would look stupid in a bikini.

And the best bit of the opening ceremony was Celine, who’s not even French 😂

Give Haz something to do I suppose.

In Atlanta, they just bussed them all out @Mojodojocasahous for the duration of the Games so I imagine they'll do similar in LA sadly (rather than properly sorting things!)

I wasn’t actually looking..just enjoying the music 🤦‍♀️

I bet she’s hot in them gloves

This is a French song originally 😅

I think it’s been very poor as the commentators haven’t introduced things properly, no clue who the singer is

It not like France is known for its great modern music in fairness.

Its known for food and art. But not pop music.

It’s a French song that was rewritten with English lyrics for Sinatra. Makes sense for the handover.

I really dislike this rendition.

Quite a downbeat way to end such a great event.

I was looking at him and thinking "Barry Manilow?"

i do like a firework finale.

BBC live text tells me she's a French singer called Yseult.

So why not sing it in French?

Barry manilow for sure. Same surgeon perhaps

lazy to end with fireworks
