Saintandy666 Posted 12 August, 2012 Share Posted 12 August, 2012 First time tonight I have agreed with you...not as if we are short of bands/music in this country to have to listen to that 1D again FFS I think they probably don't won't to ruin the 'Symphony of British Music' or whatever it is later on.

Known throughout the world and proudly British. Some oddness going on again. I like the arts but this is what happens when creative types get too much control. It becomes an odd interpretive mess...

Its a shame you need the acoustics to appreciate it. Apparently the acoustics for the opening ceremony were unbelievable too, but the whole spectacle came across on TV so well. This, well, hasn't. It's been poorly thought out and poorly executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 12 August, 2012 Share Posted 12 August, 2012 What about it makes it embarrassingly bad?! It's tacky, slap on the back, insular tacky nonsense. The opening ceremony was a celebration of Britishness that was self-deprecating, humourous and classy. This has been quite weird, awkward, poorly executed (some terrible live singing) and just overall naff. Hopefully it'll get better with the athletes in there and less scope for acrobatical f*ckaboutery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closing ceremony is never as spectacular as the opening ceremony and from what has been said is more formal. Let's wait it out until the formal part has been completed.
