Canadian VJers Commentary on Winter Olympics 2010...

[Revenesque 2]

What was I thinking??????????????????

Maybe the unaffordable hotel prices? Hubby drove from Seattle and camped out in a sleeping bag on my bedroom floor (I live with my parents and have a twin bed) over the weekend so we can go to the festivities. Unfortunately no sex. :-( but still well worth it. :-)

Honestly, I felt that the closing ceremony was pretty good and then they got to the music, they could have done better...

Some of the music was pretty darned depressing, such as, Simple Plan's ''Your Love is a Lie.'' I mean, the Olympics is about bringing the world together...I just didn't think most of the music was appropriate. Avril and Simple Plan both sung songs about bad relationships.

I went from being a proud Canadian, to embarrassed.

The games were golden for Canada, crowned off with the big hockey game.

I thought the closing ceremony was sort of disjointed production.

Why would she sing girlfriend?? I mean this is the freaking Olympics, she couldn't write an original song to go with the event??? I mean come on... girlfriend????

That part was basically the "after-party" to the closing ceremonies; I don't think anyone did original music for that portion. Nickleback's song has been on CD since late last year; WWE uses it for their Monday Night RAW theme. I find it surprisingly catchy.

Yea I didn't really like the closing ceremonies, I was a little embarrassed by them tbh.

They had a few highlights, that's about it....that thing on the ceiling looked like a lampshade to me.

Russia had a symphony, opera, choir, ballet to showcase... we had GIANT INFLATABLE BEAVERS!

We could have used our stage time to break some of the lame stereotypes, but instead we amplified them into what could have been props for the Macy's thanksgiving parade.

It was funny though, I'll give them that.

I suspect "that thing on the ceiling" was just the arena's scoreboard, covered over for the ceremony.

What is catchy? The nickelback song, or wrestling? I find both disturbing

I was referring to the song. Good "get psyched!" song.

[Sprailenes 47]

Like get psyched to kill nickelback?

wow, harsh! I don't have a problem with them, myself. *shrug*

I think Nickelback was the best of all the music...oh, besides Alanis Morrisette. XD

Yes, I'd forgotten Alanis played as well. I did not recognize the song she was singing, but then it was harder to hear her; NBC had people on the stadium floor talking to various athletes while she was singing.

They really should have let Rush play the entire time.

They really should have let Rush play the entire time.

Cygnus X-1 would have been nice...
