Nice car.

YouSirAreAMaroon		2012-08-12 09:40:44 PM

Ha! Left hand drive.

texdent		2012-08-12 09:40:44 PM

I have no idea who this is.

Publikwerks		2012-08-12 09:40:46 PM

Is this considered lip syncing?

make me some tea		2012-08-12 09:40:56 PM

I'll tell you, I REALLY like this motorized stage thing. Very cool idea.

there their theyre		2012-08-12 09:40:58 PM

Jessie J is hot. Also left hand drive on the rolls? Fail, London

DickDarlington: Can't with till Rio and the Thong fashion show...

At least Sisqo will get some work again.

babysealclubber: DamnYankees: babysealclubber: It's not a good sign that either people weren't asked to perform their own songs, or those same people refused to perform.

Did you imagine they'd be able to arrange a Pink Floyd reunion? They are Olympic organizers, not gods.

Gilmour would have done it. Waters is the problem, but for that song he's not vital.

And STFU Seacrest

It was the other way round this time. Waters was asked but only for one song. He seemed to like the idea but Gilmour thought it was not enough.

Greta_VanHouten		2012-08-12 09:41:36 PM

make me some tea: Jessie J is the UK's Katy Perry apparently.

I think she's more like their Ke$ha.

jocutus		2012-08-12 09:41:37 PM

I swear i got better sound quality on my computer from the live stream than from the actual NBC broadcast. Am i just crazy from hearing Seacrest?

And here's where America realizes that the UK has black hip hop starts.

sarahthustra		2012-08-12 09:42:00 PM

she should probably have that rash looked at.

The Bestest: Pontious Pilates: Toronto is putting a bid together for 2024. And I read a Yahoo article recently that says some local politicians in Toronto are considering a joint bid with Niagara Falls/Buffalo, NY. As a native WNYer, i think that would be cool as shiat, for the first international games to be held across the world's longest friendly border. BUT, I can't imagine who among anyone involved would say "You know, Toronto made a good case for themselves in their last two bids, but you know what they're missing that would put them over the top? BUFFALO."

..actually, a cross-border bid might do just that. Has that ever been done before? Closest thing that comes to my mind was when South Korea and Japan jointly hosted the World Cup.

Exactly! I think it's a fantastic idea on paper... But I don't see how it could possibly work in practice. Like someone said above, there's something of a precedent when Japan and S. Korea jointly hosted the World Cup. I think it would be cool as hell, but i just don't see it happening.

12349876: DamnYankees: I'm seriously trying to think of what the closer of this thing could be other than Oasis performing. Who else is left who wasn't in this or the opening ceremonies? Elton?

There could always be a reprises.

That wouldnt be fun.

NO!

Oooo, a rapper singing in a car he don't own.... origional...

Mrtraveler01		2012-08-12 09:42:42 PM

Who the hell is this?

That's not how I've heard the song before.

(anyone who watched postseason baseball last year knows this song all too well)

E-Brake		2012-08-12 09:42:52 PM

IMDWalrus: He was definitely lip-syncing. He loses points for that, and for how by-the-book the cover was. The best covers of the song are the ones that make it batshiat insane. Brand's was just...boring.

Seeing your handle with this comment made me smile :)

texdent		2012-08-12 09:42:52 PM

Wait, did she just give the peace sign or the British middle finger?

tuffsnake		2012-08-12 09:42:52 PM

make me some tea: And here's where America realizes that the UK has black hip hop starts.

But do they have black hip hop ends?

DamnYankees		2012-08-12 09:42:52 PM

Rap never works live.

Supposedly Muse is supposed to perfom their new single "survival" It was the official song for the Olympics for everyone but the US.

ThisIsNotSubtle		2012-08-12 09:42:59 PM

Well. This is happening.

Kenny B		2012-08-12 09:42:59 PM

I bet Phelps was trippin balls on the light show

Nope. He's not FLAAAAVA FLAAAAV

topcon		2012-08-12 09:43:15 PM

What the fark? Kate Bush was on there and they didn't show it? JFC. Now I want to find a clip of it. She rarely ever sings live, either.

lol oops

The Bestest		2012-08-12 09:43:23 PM

..well, I'm certainly pumped up for post-season baseball now

themeaningoflifeisnot		2012-08-12 09:43:25 PM

At least they've got entertainment somewhat relevant to most of the Olympians, at least by age. No more Sir Paul McDouchebag.

TommyymmoT		2012-08-12 09:43:27 PM

I'm just waiting for the Kate Middleton pole dancing sequence.

sarahthustra		2012-08-12 09:43:39 PM

Earguy: BEST SIMULPOST EVER!!!!

HIGH FIVE

melewen		2012-08-12 09:43:40 PM

FWIW, I haven't noticed any sound issues on the NBC broadcast. The sound was pretty inconsistent on the BBC feed though.

/Cox Cable in Northern VA

That would be...disappointing.

Just realized we still haven't seen Sting or the Spice Girls yet.

YouSirAreAMaroon		2012-08-12 09:43:45 PM

I guess rappers in the UK don't worry about looking hard all the time. Nice shirtless male dancers.

Ohh Fark thread flashbacks....

topcon		2012-08-12 09:43:52 PM

Well, pre-recorded live probably, even, but still.

IMDWalrus		2012-08-12 09:43:53 PM

Publikwerks: Is this considered lip syncing?

Nah. There's been some really obvious lipsycing, but I'm pretty sure she's singing live.

Is Fatboy Slim just hanging around in the octopus?

Is Taio Cruz British?

make me some tea		2012-08-12 09:43:54 PM

I never realized this dude was British.
