jocutus: The live feed on NBC's site earlier needed no announcers, just captions that identified acts as they came on stage. Couldn't NBC save some cash by doing the same and getting rid of these guys?

NBC's overlaying the small world-feed notes on who you're seeing with gigantic, third-of-the-screen-taking-up graphics. That's just gratuitous.

Linkster: /A certain British comedian also makes a musical appearance

Please say Benny Hill, Please say Benny Hill, Please say Benny Hill,

I must sadly report this is not the case, but is still quite commendable.

kevinatilusa: James72: Do they even pay attention to the lyrics of the songs they selected?

How many times have we heard "Born in the USA" in the last couple weeks?

It always makes my day when they play that song on the 4th of July as if it was a patriotic song.

The Bestest: "Have you heard of 'One Direction'?"

I'm work in an elementary/middle school, so yes, I have unfortunately heard of One Direction. Of course, I can't be too hard on them. Every generation has its boy band and mine was NKOTB...

Didn't affect me, but I am at a loss why NBC decided to show taped events on their television broadcast over the live closing ceremonies when it's being held on a Sunday afternoon.

Mrtraveler01: IMDWalrus: So that's who One Direction is.

The song isn't terrible.

The car I'm driving right now hasn't had a working radio for at least two years. Pair that with an office job, my iPod, and customized internet radio, and there's a lot of stuff I'm blissfully ignorant of.

China is not yet at the self-deprecating phase of their history. The USA is totally there either. The UK is.
