It is ridiculous, as one direction are talentless twatbags. However, i guess they wanted a general scope of popular British music, which is why we got the equally awful Spice Grannies. Still, overall, loved the multicultural mix up and the Freddie Mercury + Lennon bits were quality.

Did we really have to celebrate London's anorexic fashion? Last thing i want to see is those stuck up b******s prancing around. Cokeheads have no place in an Olympic ceremony.

Yeah that bit was boring with those skinny models.

Shame a fair few people turned it down, Kate Bush was asked but said no, Rolling Stones also and the Sex Pistols (So John Lydon doesnt turn down a tack tacky butter commercial but wont do this gig ?). Weird.

The opening ceremony was far better than i thought, the closing one wasnt too bad, just annoyed by some of the crap like Jessie J who has only been 'popular' for a bit, she got a lot of airtime sadly.

I'm no George Michael fan but thought it was bad his second song was his new single hes promoting (and it wasnt even good). Thought the Spice Girls sounded poor. To be honest my favourite group (Oasis/Beady Eye), Liams voice wasnt the best, glad they were there but wasnt the best performance, think after a long world tour his voice needs a rest (it sounded far better earlier this year when i saw them play).

Enjoyed all the sports though, often theres nothing on TV, did enjoy watching a variety of sport.

Being from the UK though i was very happy the Olympics was a huge success, plus a huge amount of medals for Team GB after a terrible performance 4 years ago at Beijing. Rio's got a lot of pressure on them !

Haha yeah George's second song was defo a WTF moment for me, very poor. I don't know much about Jessie J but she has a strong voice, though I kinda just wish they'd kept those screens in the middle and let Freddie sing we will rock you instead. Also, would have been great to see Liam + Noel on stage for Wonderwall... maybe with some security seperating them so they didn't smash eachother up afterwards
