My screen is buffering. What am I missing? The Who are starting now. |

Very dramatic dance before the flames went out. Kind of reminded me of Rite of Spring. Glad they didn't sacrifice the dancer in the flames before they went out!

Who would you have rather heard than Jesse? I don't disagree. I just don't know them to have an opinion and would like to hear yours. As I said earlier, I thought Brian looked AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Top of my list George Michael. But they could have had Matt Bellamy, Annie Lennox even Taio Cruz. I am not hating on Jessie J, I like her, just not a good song for her. ETA: At least they did not have Sasha Baron Cohen. I actually expected Jesse J. to kill it more. But nobody really sounded that absolutely mind-blowing--except maybe Annie Lennox. Didn't we talk about the acoustics of these types of arenas, though? Maybe impossible. |

I see now. I wonder if Who fans are as territorial as Queen fans? Actually, I do know that a lot of them felt that Roger Daltry and John Entwhistle sold out by forcing the band to tour because of poor monetary decisions. But only two members left. Moon and Entwhistle are both deceased. Did I get that right, Glampoon?  |

But I also thought Brian's playing was amazing and even though Jesse was not all she could be, B&R had their own magic. |

They quit stream, so didn't see the flames goes out, sad. Didn't actually see much of the games anyway, first time spent in a hotel on the seashore and second one without TV in the country house. I prefer winter games anyway, though like ceremonies ;-)
