George Michael though...

I love George. Absolutely and unconditionally. If I win Euromillions I am going to pay him to walk next to me for the rest of my life, singing to me.

I'm also partial to a bit of George. But....
a) what was the second song he sang

b) he can't dance

And surely the purpose of Macca at the closing ceremony was to empty the stadium as quickly as possible?

Watching the Kaiser Chiefs, and that's almost exactly how I dressed thirty years ago! Good version of Pinball Wizard mind. .

His new song, White Light. R2 play it a lot. It's not my favourite.

Yeah, I liked that.

They're making great use of those LED pixel things.

Oh Please no. (Annie Lennox gets wheeled out as much a Sir Paul - being a nashnul institushon and whatnot. Has she actually recorded anything in twenty five years?)

Don't listen! I'm watching it via what is said on here and twitter - it's quieter and probably just as clear!

Ooh. Just gone all tingly.

Oh dear a floyd cover, nick mason should hang is head in shame

Serious bit of knob-twiddling needed now...

It's all a bit "dad-rock".

Danny Boyle, we need you now!

rogerzilla · « **Reply #39 on:** 12 August, 2012, 10:38:19 pm »

Please no Cliff Richard! He has even less voice left than Macca.

god it really has gone down hill now

Russell Brand

Russell Brand aside, the older I gets, the more I appreciates the Beatles.

red marley · « **Reply #44 on:** 12 August, 2012, 10:41:30 pm »

It's the visual equivalent of one of those old "Top of the Pops!" cover albums.

it will get worse, spice girls next, think I'll go and unblock the outside carzy

Is Norman Cook actually doing anything, or are we reduced to the level of a DJ miming?

mcshroom · « **Reply #47 on:** 12 August, 2012, 10:44:06 pm »

He seems to have brought a giant octopus with him

rogerzilla · « **Reply #48 on:** 12 August, 2012, 10:44:50 pm »

There's an urban legend that it's Jack White's voice on that record (it isn't).

geraldc · « **Reply #49 on:** 12 August, 2012, 10:45:18 pm »

Giant octopus type thing, it's like the thing from the Watchmen! (comic)

Ever since the Jubilee concert, there's been a running joke on social media about how the next act would be Russ Abbott's Atmosphere, I finally googled it on youtube, and noticed that Russ Abbott rides a bickerton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFPLk5mJ1D4
