Wow, those high notes hurt. :P Talk about big hair, what is this, the 80s? I think that's the Sister Act hair style she wore at the end of the movie.

Apparently they wanted all 4 people to light the torch at the same time?

Yeah, 5 Olympic rings, 5 torches. Well, 80%. :)

Vancouver spent 1/10 of what Beijing did on the opening ceremony and put on one hell of a show.

(Beijing: $300M, Vancouver: $30-40M)

You know, I think this is the first time since the election I've ever seen Joe Biden on TV.

I'm just now watching the opening ceremonies and that version of We Are the World is possibly one of the worst things I've ever watched.

Just finished and I thought the opening ceremony was a bit disappointing.

But I guess nobody will ever come close to topping what China did.

I thought the opening ceremony was pretty good.
