Olympic closing ceremonies post. Spoilers.

[Jalapeñomel]

So far, I am unimpressed. I have no idea what the hell is going on. The set, however, is really cool, and who is Emelie Sands?

And One Direction is like a group of Zac Efrons.

And it's awesome that the Pet Shop Boys are there.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm just posting in here, because I would like to hear your thoughts after you watch them tonight.

[sugarplum]

A. Ralph Lauren needs to stop being Team USA designer. WTF?

B. The Canadians are wearing jean jackets.

[cleo29]

This is lame, but I am looking forward to seeing the Spice Girl perform. lol

[sugarplum]

I didn't know George Michael was out of jail.

[sugarplum]

I have no idea what that tight rope walker/setting a mannequin on fire was.

Wow. What a parade of losers. I don't get the theme.

There is no theme! Why are they on newspapers?

It's like a big circle jerk for any singer who is English...why did they make a statue of John Lennon's face?

[Jalapeñomel]

And they've been going on forever.

[sugarplum]

They've mentioned the theme is Sounds of London on the commentary here.

I do think it's cool that the countries are going to be able to take home their "petal" of the torch.

Also, I'm bitter at the people who left early/all the empty seats.

Ah, we don't get the commentary, so I was lost. Although it still seems like a hodge podge of stuff, no real connection between any of it.

[bab]

I'm fucking crying at "circle jerk. "

LOL its been awhile since I've heard that one!

So Harry's representing the royals tonight alone? Did Wills and Kate have somewhere more important to be?

Maybe she's ovulating.

Kate was standing next to Harry at one point. Haven't seen William though.

I thought that was Kate beside Harry. Oops.

[bab]

Kate was there, looking perfect as usual

Wait, was it not Kate?

[bab]

They went to the archives for this number! Our House! LOL it's all good though. I loved that song!

[chedominique]

It was her, lol!

[suzyp]

Ugh. I am so irrationally annoyed that Ryan Seacrest is part of the Olympics broadcast team. I turn it off when he appears, and now I can't.

[chedominique]

My H is on the phone and heard One Direction and came in the room dancing. What in the world, lol.

[Kristinmo]

Why are their pants so tight? I don't get One Direction (and I'm officially old).

[Jalapeñomel]

I thought William was absent because of his military service. Or that is what I assumed anyway.

I totally agree. He has no business there with his Hollywood, American Idol bullshit. Every segment he was in could have been 100% better with Apolo Ohno as the host. Do you hear me NBmutherfuckinC???

[njjentoky]

Prince William is back on military duty.

[chedominique]

Yay the music is back!

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

"I didn't realize Fatboy Slim was so Fatboy Old." - Jason.

This, besides queening out over Pink Floyd, has been his sole commentary.

[rupertpenny]

Who is Jessie J?

[rupertpenny]

Well, besides some British person who likes to sing wearing figure skating outfits.

[flipflopsandwine]

what's a girl gotta do to get some spice girls?
