Watched the closing online earlier. There were some great perfomances (Annie Lennox still has it) and some mediocre. I mean, Beady Eye? Really? He sounded like a first round American Idle reject. It was fun overall though.
ljbab, i'm almost 59 and i've even heard of Beady Eye........ and i'm not into music that much....I thought Annie Lennox kind of sucked and I liked them (Eurithmics) at one time.

Sam unfortunately didn't medal, former Cowboy Coleman Scott won the bronze though he is originally from Pa.

Everyone has different tastes in music and they were obviously trying to reflect that. There are a lot of performers that I've heard that I think are lousy so I don't understand that point. Beady Eye can't sing and is a boring performer on top of that.

Eric Idle was great. Loved seeing him.
But do you know who's music was completely missing (as far as I could tell) from both the opening and closing ceremonies? Elton John. Really surprising.

Evidently he was going to be more involved but had a "falling out" with the organizers. I also heard that the reason why the Stones weren't involved was because they were "out of practice".

Beady Eye is Oasis (minus one brother who went solo).
