I am going to just begin by saying everything wasn't super bad as I know this was written to sound. I am way better at complaining than complementing. granted this thing got pretty much no hits from any other member so I decided to put something so they release something for the person who made this discussion to read.

I think there was something with with the microphone for the singing in the beginning. (The singing it self I can tell was fine but the microphone echoed and sounded like when my phone line missfunctions and I have to hear my own voice in a little less than a second delay, something I still cannot figure out the cause) athlete karaoke was something though it seemed to me in the happen during the commercial break likely to song right reasons. The we are the champions one worked though. I enjoyed that one.

also United States next time look like you are participating in athlete karaoke please. that is all I am going to say on that subject please look like you are participating in athlete karaoke next time. I also did not like the track suits they were wearing for the closing ceremony I think they did fine an opening but not the closing. look like they copied the 90s design for gymnastics.

it should also be mentioned that no one could hear anyone singing karaoke the way the mics were handled. we have to also listen to a 25 second to 30 sound effect clip 40 to 50 times, probably more like 200 to 500 times. (not during the karaoke portion) That random few second jingle is not pleasant to hear over and over in a row like it is a single song.

for goodness sake we are having a meddling ceremony for marathon do I mention I watch that is that I thought they were doing a medal ceremony for the Country who got the most medals. I mean good for them but I would record the marathon events if I wanted to see that not the closing ceremony. there were some stuff in between that was okay but not worth commenting on.

I think the closing ceremony idea went nicely,obviously was supposed to be the opening ceremony. this is a little shorter than a word I actually rushed because I already published and I am adding this after the fact. they were flaws they were nice stuff. the theme was basically resurrecting the Olympics after the apocalypse. for some reason I thought I put some thing about this but I guess I did not. I feel like there were things that could have been more blunt but I feel at this point we are beating a dead horse, we understood what this particular Olympic Committee was doing. I am basically looking at this from skipping to random intervals on my recording after the fact. I just felt most of the costumes did not feel Olympicy if that makes any sense. granted the set up with the set and stage was pretty nice. The speeches were nicely done.

now the hand off that everyone is talking about. The initial jump was nothing to write home about it was boring, granted I realize later that they were talking about the jumps that happen second, I usually make these as we go. then for about a few minutes (I did not time) as he walks around to basically doing high-fives. (Basic celebrity appearance looking stuff) I do have to make a shout out that at one point the announcer just calling him but his Topgun character name Mavrik. then he gets on a motorcycle okay that's at least a little little better.

then there is a time skip that I know there is no way could be true considering it would of taken more time than two seconds to get from France to the US. anyone that knows what is going on you can put in the comments. they did a decent job with the bicycle skateboard travelling thing in the Hollywood sign they actually did a good job. I can see why this was liked. here's the thing if your biggest landmark is City Hall then either do not have many landmarks or you did not evaluate them properly. of course there is a chance they just chose that particular building because it fits well with the angle cut having that pillar there and I'm going to try and give them the benefit of the doubt with that. The random people for your stuff was ridiculous and just something I could not get behind unlike the random people following in this.

I am not going to go into the music even though the chilli peppers would definitely playing better music at this half the they did at the second half of the handover but obviously it's more complicated. The 'I did it on my way' was a beautiful performance. One of the speeches were pretty great. as the partial end (Paralympics exist) to the international event which to get, as the world comes together. let me phrase it is a little better,a event that a good chunk of countries compete together on the same playing field. sadly the NBC broadcast is not display the Internationalism as I would prefer but at least we have this event to unite the world so much.

Not everybody posts replies to all posts. I only posted original cause we'd been to Albertville. No worries because no replies. It's all good.

no worries either,I had most of this set up but I know it was not the most structured post and what is a little more of a downer than I meant it to be. I will keep that in mind for next time though I hope you enjoyed the post.
