[Munchkins]

I don't like this tbh, its killed the atmosphere for me

[Smithy]

because it takes a lot to be there tonight. after his loss. it's really sad

you soulness prick
That doesn't make him a hero, people risk their lives in war in Afghanistan and loose limbs defending us, they're the ****ing hero's not Gary Barlow, dickhead
Well the fact that he's performing days after his child was born dead is pretty brave, SMithy

That doesn't make him a hero tho

[Ninastar]

[Marc]

That doesn't make him a hero, people risk their lives in war in Afghanistan and loose limbs defending us, they're the ****ing hero's not Gary Barlow, dickhead

yeah and that's sad, I don't argue against that. Don't be so cold

[LemonJam]

I would've lolled so hard if they just bought out some bloke with a fire extinguisher.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

That doesn't make him a hero, people risk their lives in war in Afghanistan and loose limbs defending us, they're the ****ing hero's not Gary Barlow, dickhead


That doesn't make him a hero tho

The definition of a hero is not only those who fight in wars abroad. Overcoming tough personal triumphs also makes you a hero.

Something's missing now. 7 years build up to this...which is just under half my life :o So this is actually weird.

[Munchkins]

Goodbye London 2012

[Marc]

[Munchkins]

Singing out of this thread now :love:

[Brother Leon]

Opening Cereomony was so much better.

[Black Dagger]

You will have heard of him.

I used to stan Patrick Wolf.

I still love him. :idc:

[Maia]

Just love the UK it's amazing

[Jayson]

I feel sadder than when Shaun posted Muse's new song.

[Maia]

Opening Cereomony was so much better.

The Closing >

Even though the opening was fantastic this was just non-stop brilliance

[Marc]

You will have heard of him.

I used to stan Patrick Wolf.

I still love him. :idc:

sorry but no.

is he worth hearing at the olympics closing ceremony?

obvs not.

[Marc]

vicky! :love:

[Marc]

wow im stunned still.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

can i just ask why was emile sande there

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

and jessie j

[Black Dagger]

sorry but no.

is he worth hearing at the olympics closing ceremony?

obvs not.

Nobody knows who the **** he is... and I didn't say he was? I don't make him out to be god, I just like his music.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

lucas he is awful move on

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

stan someone worthy like laurel halo

[Black Dagger]

lucas he is awful move on

I will.

Also, why the **** wasn't Florence there?

You had Emeli Sande on twice, THE SAME SONG? SHUT UP BITCH... and then Jessie J thinking she is worthwhile. :idc:

[Black Dagger]

stan someone worthy like laurel halo

who?

[Munchkins]

Awe Sue Barker :love: i love her
right Bye Olympics :lovedup:

[Harry!]

Pre Olympics I was like "oh joy goodness sake why" but now I am like "oh my why does it have to end"

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

WHY WASNT JAMELIA THERE YOU MEAN k

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

who?

goddess

[Locke.]

Emeli Sande again :joker:

[Shaun]

EMELI FFS :mad:

[Legend killer]

London will go down as one of the great games however not the GOAT games for a couple of reasons some not there fault

Not there fault but the athletics was a bit of a letdown in terms of general excitement and WR

However the blame does fall on them for

A. Having Spice fuken Girls perform
B. Beady fuken Eye performing an Oasis classic
C. Mo Farah cringing up the place

[Black Dagger]

Who is she sucking off, srsly? :idc:

[Jayson]

Of course Emeli Sande would appear a third time

[Jayson]

Or whatever the correct spelling of her name is idk

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

who ****ing i just dont even understand

seriously why is she there

[Shaun]

you got it right jayson :laugh: (ignoring the silly accent on her e)

[Niall]

I am so depressed that its over now omfg :sad:

[Black Dagger]

You can tell she's had a lot of cum in her mouth recently if she's performing for a 4th time. :idc:

[Munchkins]

I am so depressed that its over now omfg :sad:

I think everyone is tbh

[Shaun]

No Church in the Wild :amazed:

oh it's an advert

[Locke.]

And what better way to end it all than Sean Bean dressed in drag trying to get a guy back into his flat?

[Tom4784]

I thought the Ceremony was okay at best, nothing on the opening one of course. There was too much wasted potential, why was Emeli Sande and Jessie J featured so much? Why was Russell Brand there at all? Why have Ed Sheeran perform when he does nothing but kill the buzz? WHERE THE **** WAS KATE BUSH AND DAVID BOWIE?! Even more so why was there so little time devoted to The Beatles and none to the Rolling Stones? I'm not even gonna give time to One Direction or Kaiser Chiefs covering Pinball Wizard.

Also lol at Beady Eye appearing to cover an Oasis song.

It was a bit of a mess really.

[Shaun]

I didn't even notice the lack of the Rolling Stones... and come to think of it I don't remember them at the opening ceremony either :(

[reece(:]

Paralympics next!

[Marc]

Aw that was amazing. I feel exhausted.

Opening and closing ceremonies were lovely.

[Marc]

Aw that was amazing. I feel exhausted.

Opening and closing ceremonies were lovely.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

what was the song russell brand did i liked that

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Aw that was amazing. I feel exhausted.

Opening and closing ceremonies were lovely.

Yes. I'm not going to compare. They both did us proud...even with 1D :devil:

[Marc]

The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

Wasn't it?

[Patrick]

Grr this is the olympics not t4 on the beach :bawling:

:joker::joker::joker:

[Maia]

Greatest Olympics ever no denying it

[Patrick]

I think everyone is tbh

No, finally EastEnders will be back on it's regular time - and the rest of us can get on with our lives without having to here how amazing London and The Olympics are. :idc:

[InOne]

The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

Wasn't it?

Yes, it was well and truly murdered.

[Locke.]

Russell should have got to close the ceremony but other than that is was perfect

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The Beatles - I Am The Walrus

Wasn't it?

idk but i just looked on youtube and i like this too

[Shaun]

yes it was I Am the Walrus

he went into the stadium singing Gene Wilder's Pure Imagination though

[Princess]

Amazing ceremony. So so so proud of Gary, major respect to him.

[Brother Leon]

No, finally EastEnders will be back on it's regular time - and the rest of us can get on with our lives without having to here how amazing London and The Olympics are. :idc:

Jealous of London eh? :idc:

[Sam:)]

Im sorry but the titles bullsh*t
Beijing> London's Emeli Sande and Jessie J marathon

[Brother Leon]

Olympics go further than the two ceromonies: :)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

shut up

[Sam:)]

Amazing ceremony. So so so proud of Gary, major respect to him.

This, Have major respect for the man.

[Sam:)]

shut up
No:)

[Jayson]

Trying to figure out what to do with my life now

[GypsyGoth]

I thought the closing ceremony was a great finish to a wonderful two weeks :love:

[Locke.]

What was the second song Emeli Sande performed?

[Shaun]

she performed Read All About It twice and covered Imagine on some BBC montage

[Jayson]

Emeli Sande probably gained more hatred than love for her performances

[Sam:)]

Emeli Sande probably gained more hatred than love for her performances

This, she has a brilliant voice but I mean she was on the opening and twice during the closing? Does she have 3 for the price of 1 offer or something

[Saph]

I loved the show last night! Much better than the opening one :amazed:

Spice Girls were amazing :idc:

Although, that 5 minute Rio section at the end **** all over our opening and closing ceremonies. Can't wait too see theirs!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

No:)

i wasnt talking to you

[Jack_]

Am I the only one that loved the BBC's video packages last night in the countdown show? The ones narrated by that guy with the great voice (Eddie Butler or something I think) about the highlights of the games, the legacy etc? And then the Emeli Sande montage at the end?

Really, really well produced.

[Marc]

I did really enjoy the Emeli Olympics

[MeMyselfAndI]

It's a celebration of british music....she hasn't done anything to warrent being in there...
Well obviously she has, she performed in Beijing & Is a world-wide superstar who has sold millions of records. More relevant than half the people that were there.
shE HAS MADE NO LASTING IMPACT ON BRITISH MUSIC NOW GET OUT
You're mixing up you're opinion up with pure facts, shes made a huge impact.
who the **** is leona?
Stop trolling :rolleyes:
I heard she was already booked for a gig at Butlins.
Stop trolling :rolleyes:, It's very tedious..
Leona as talented as she is, has no relevance anymore..
Shes way more relevant than half of the people that performed & easily the most talented, She should of been there to celebrate british music

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

can you just please for the love of god stop trying to make leona happen

[MeMyselfAndI]

How are Spelbound at all relevant?

May as well let Leona bloody Lewis perform

Leona Lewis >>>>>> One Direction and Spelbound

And yet we get them
Exactly
Where is Alexandra Burke though
Lol.
Not compared to Leona :bored:

Oh well there's no questioning the amount of singles Leona has sold
Shes way more relevant

[the truth]

could have been much better, the upside was the queen parts were moving, the who were fantastic, glad to see liam gallacher there for wonderwall,
downsides , spice girls miming yet again, just awful, too much jessie j and her silly exagerrated vocal gymnastics, just sing the song already, also where were other legends? david bowie,paul weller, ian brown, tom jones, rod stewart, morrissey, noel gallacher (turned it down because he demanded to sing live and not be dubbed supposedly), stereophonics, elton john, dido, the list is very very long.
