Paris 2024 - Day 16 and Closing Ceremony (Sun 11 Aug)

[GNL]

BRING IT ON

Actually, cheerleaders would feel appropriate.

 

[PercyPig]

Is Britain on this stadium sized map of the world? The Dail Fail need to know!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Actually, cheerleaders would feel appropriate.

And RuPaul (or his reanimated corpse) doing that one arm movement dance move he does these days

 

[win_the_game]

PHOENIX

 

[Kratz]

Is Britain on this stadium sized map of the world? The Dail Fail need to know!

YES

But Madagascar is NOT

 

[Suedehead]

BRING IT ON

I think TACKY will be just what the doctor ordered to be frank

 

[Ellie]

Who is this BAD lip syncer?

 

[Lucille]

The sound.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

WHAT IS THIS SHIT?

 

[Suedehead]

WtAf

 

[ZenGiraffe]

WHAT is this SHIT?

 

[Kate]

This is called guitar music, gays.

 

[PercyPig]

I miss USA going mental for the Spice Girls

 

[Ellie]

I’m gonna need some commentary telling me WHO THE FUCK THIS IS.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

 

[AGinAg (38)]

This is called guitar music, gays.

Not VERY GOOD THOUGH

 

[Slave]

Ceremonies aside I LOVED watching the Olympics this year and I think they did a great job

I have enjoyed it, though I’m quite looking forward to the time difference next time meaning more stuff on into the early hours of the morning.

(Surfing doesn’t count. That wasn’t interesting)

 

[Madison]

They have a giant world map, and a pole with a flag that could represent Athens 1896… and they aren’t going to anything more with it?

 

[Suedehead]

No one

Absolutely no one

Paris olympics closing ceremony:

 

[GNL]

I miss USA going mental for the Spice Girls

To be fair, I think we did also inflict Elbow on the world.

 

[win_the_game]

PHOENIX

One of the biggest French indie bands, although they never really cracked the UK market.

 

[Shoat]

I genuinely cannot tell if this is the WORST miming ever, or if someone has overriden the sound for us TV viewers

 

[Kate]

Genuinely thought this song was pretty well known

 

[Kratz]

 

[AGinAg (38)]

NIGHTCALL

 

[ZenGiraffe]

If it isn't DAFT PUNK or JEAN-MICHEL JARRE, then I'm NOT INTERESTED

 

[Madison]

Shall we switch off and do a sync watch of Drive instead? I love that film.

 

[win_the_game]

And Kavinsky!

Hoping we get Sébastien Tellier as well at this point.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

This is a BANGER

 

[Shoat]

Why couldn't we have had Jean Michel Jarre instead???

 

[Lucille]

I genuinely cannot tell if this is the WORST miming ever, or if someone has overriden the sound for us TV viewers

I think the tv feed is only getting the backing track as it goes HAYWIRE when they try to bring in the live track!

 

[GNL]

Omg are the sound engineers okay?

 

[Kate]

There you go, a lady singer. STOP MOANING

 

[ZenGiraffe]

There you go, a lady singer. STOP MOANING

She's still FRENCH though

 

[Kate]

(except about the sound, that is VERY SHIT)

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Kate Ryan PLEASE

 

[Lucille]

Omg are the sound engineers okay?

 

[Madison]

They are playing their smash #65 hit on the UK charts from 2000.

 

[Lucille]

Omg was that RAYGUN???

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh no, not rap with this sound setup
