Olympic Closing Ceremony

"Will all the moaners on this website stop complaining about anything or any what"

No one's complaining. Why the fuck should we lower our standards?

I hadn't heard Brian's solo before and wasn't bored by it. It sounded louder to me too. I would have loved to have been in the stadium when he let it up. It looked spectacular on TV.

Why should you lower your standards? stop pointing your nose at the sky and lighten up.

I thought that it was great Brian played his solo from Brighton Rock, especially in front of millions of people as it shows that there is more to Queen than the usual suspect hits. I wasn't so happy about the hypocrate Jessie J performing with Queen, but was still better than Paul Rogers (and Lambert couldn't anyway because he's American). But overall, was very pleased with their performance. I thought The Who played good, but the Kaiser Cheifs were STUNNING!

I'm a n00b to Queen. A greatest hits fan who is just now getting into their deeper catalogue...

Plus I live in North America, which is almost like the moon as far as Queen is concerned. ;-)

It was NOT better than Paul Rodgers! Paul would have been the best choice. Frankly, I don't like any girls/women doing Queen songs, Jessie J was the sleaziest and worst so far, at least Kerry Ellis has a little more class.

Too be honest, I thought the appearance of Brian and Roger was pretty pathetic. Nothing great at all unfortunately. The Who showed how older men can still rock in a decent way, but although I like Brian and Roger very much and respect them highly, I think this was no good. But hey, that's only my opinion ;-)

I strongly agree with you. I think it would have been much better without Jessie J on stage. Brian could have totally sang that song. I really hate to say it but I thought The Who's performance was something much more special.

Paul Rodgers is now a Canadian citizen, so he cannot be asked to sing at the closing ceremony.

But he didn't have to give up UK citizenship in order to become a Canadian citizen:

"Canada and the UK accept dual nationality. A person may hold both citizenships and may carry both British and Canadian passports if they so desire."

I think someone said Paul Rodgers had a concert somewhere else on the same date though?
