The Closing Ceremony

[Geri]

I've only just discovered it's them that sing that song

It's the only one of theirs I know. No idea what it is called.

 

[Espresso]

More Cowell people, I see. Can we expect Susan Boyle and Stavros Flatley?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Who's in the taxi? Who's in the taxi?!

Oh, ok...

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

What was that? Was it meant to say something?

 

[bi0boy]

Are these acrobats spelling out words

 

[Lea]

Too young for Ray Davies. Don't know of him either.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

sadly ray davis is looking like ken dodd as well
what is it with old pop stars

 

[Geri]

Sha la la

 

[bi0boy]

can I just die already?

 

[Lord Camomile]

And yet again, former glory, now... not.

 

[blairsh]

ergh...

 

[free spirit]

some good acrobats doing their thing in the background.

 

[editor]

Who's responsible for this drivel?

 

[Geri]

I don't think he sounds that bad.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Ray Davies looks like Keith Harris .... minus Orville

 

[Orang Utan]

Glad there's no commentary this time at least

 

[Libertad]

Who's responsible for this drivel?

You started it

 

[youngian]

Do you want me back for the closing ceremony?

"That's alright Sir Paul, we've got a copy of Sgt Peppers"

 

[Bungle73]

I think we were spoiled by a mostly good Opening Ceremony and a fabulous Games

I quite liked One Direction. And they are very, very well known all over the world.

So is Hilter.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not one act has had the voice for the occasion so far.

Paging Ms. Bassey. Your country needs you.

 

[killer b]

Who's responsible for this drivel?

Would you believe, some dude who runs take that's shows.

 

[IC3D]

What was with the price henry, is that his name.

 

[kittyP]

Oh I like Ray.

I think I am a bit behind everyone else coz of watching on line

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Who's responsible for this drivel?

The closing ceremony director, Kim Gavin, who made his name with spectacular stadium shows for Take That and others, said it would not be a traditional concert but neither would it have the multilayered narrative of Danny Boyle's well-received opening ceremony.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Well we could have some recent British pop star to perform at these things but the last decent British pop star was probably Jarvis Cocker and he wouldn't be seen dead doing something like this.

 

[kittyP]

How could they not have Waterloo Sunset though?

 

[Geri]

At least we won't get Alfie Boe singing Elvis in the manner of a geography teacher at the 6th form disco.

 

[editor]

God not this warbly US-style wailer again.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

She's had her go!!

 

[quimcunx]

Shirley would have been awesome.
