One Direction...

to switch off

Colmustard

Why oh Why do they have to do those songs live, with the artists vitality and voices gone.

OK this is better.

The standard of singing has been terrible so far. Also, the choice of acts that have performed so far has been questionable.

I'm half expecting Jedward or some other washed up x-factor contestant to be trotted out.

Nope, he used the surname Wales as his dad is the Prince of Wales.

I'm really not getting this... it's just more of the same retro celebrity orientated navel gazing that we saw in the opening ceremony.

Suppose to be a celebration of british music, which makes me wonder wtf one direction are doing on it.

foxinsox

Is it cruel to be waiting for some ejit to fall off a moving truck while singing?

df1985

From Mullingar to the olympics.....

Jimoslimos

Well we can safely say that 99% of the budget went on the opening ceremony

Colmustard

Pretty cool

I love the miniature London.

Why do they speak French before speaking in Engish?

Same as with all the medal ceremonies and everything....French is the language of the Olympics

First Nevin, now the one direction take that wannabe. Mullingar is aiming for world domination.

Apparently not. I thought so too

"Stomp is a percussion group (originating in Brighton, UK) that uses the body and ordinary objects to create a physical theatre performance"

Jimoslimos

Not impressed so far, it's like a giant Britain's Got Talent show.

Don't talk shi'ite. There's lots of woods in the arctic (or is it the antarctic?).

Silverfish

My spine has fused from cringing.

This has knocked my happy Olympics buzz right outta me, I can tell you.

Sadly......but I'll take that over One Direction anytime

ArmaniJeanss

In fairness you aren't meant to like 100% of it.
If you like 100% of it the chances are your Grandma hates 100% of it.

I think it's decent enough.

Biggins

Is it just me or does the sound suck?

summerskin

As a proud Brit I have to say that this is an absolute sh1t show. Terrible!

mike65

Is it me or is the overall sound mix terrible? Like something you'd expect from an RTE OB!

flyswatter

Get The Who on to blow everyone off the stage.

I thought we were talking shyte,

Maybe polar bears don't shyte they save it for a wood.

Rascasse

Sound on BBC is grand now. Was dodgy at the start.
