Olympics closing ceremony
35 Answers
Well, what can I say? Spice Girls were great, as was Elbow, Ed Sheeran, and the Kaiser Chiefs. But Madness were dreadful and the Pet Shop Boys were embarrassing. How come George Michael got to sing 2 songs. I think we didn't need to have the sour faced clothes horses traipsing around. And Russell Brand - how come he got to be on? The opening ceremony was brilliant but the closing ceremony sent me to bed just as the speeches began. I was under the impression that it would be music which stretched over fifty years - more like the past five years. What a disappointment!

I agree that Madness and the Pet Shop Boys have had their day. They are not with it any more.
I was very impressed with the Spice Girls though. They seem to have improved with age and would give them all 'my seal of approval' if you know what I mean.

Not as good as the opening ceremony. However, it was also my understanding that it was to be a celebration of British music so where was the stirrings of Pomp, Brittania, Jerusalem etc? Dissappointed at Pet Shop, Geo Michael, Madness - Where was Tom Jones, Shirley B etc?
I thought it started badly and got better but on the whole whilst visually spectacular I was not happy.

George got to sing two songs because he is a world superstar and can actually SING .thought all things consideredhe looked great , but then I am a fan.Both the opening and closing ceremonies were fabulous. I have to say I thogh that the olypics was a luxuary we couldnt afford but I got drawn in and loved every minute of it.
I thought the closing ceremony was much better. Loved \ray \davies, his voice is still good although he looked ridiculous with that dyed hair and pencilled in eyebrows. Loved Eric Idle and always have.
Who was the male singer in the dark suit who sang quite a bit (looked a bit like a young Ray Winston) I liked him. Love My generation but should have changed the words, "Glad I didn't die before I got old!!"
