Well, it's over.

Tomorrow I guess we will all get up, drag our asses back to work, and move on with life...

But not tonight!

Hmm, guess I heard wrong about Rush. Too bad.

That would have been cool though. I knew there would be showcase of Canadian talent and there's so many great artists to choose from! Nice variety of music though in the ceremonies, something for everyone.

Fantastic end to the Games!

That was great! Campy and cheesy but still great.

I loved the Maple Leaf Forever segment, that was epic. I would have chosen a different lineup of musical acts, but everyone would have a different preference that could never be satisfied.

*changes channel*

...Yeah, I'm not listening to that again...

[Goober_McGee]

I don't know about you guys but I really liked the Maple Leaf Forever/Envoyon d'l'avant segment. Two songs I'd never thought I'd hear played, even if the Maple Leaf Forever had its lyrics changed.

*edit for spelling.

It was nice hearing them together, but was I ever pissed that they changed the lyrics of maple leaf forever. You can only cut and past a song so much before it goes from tasteful art to distasteful art.

Agreed.

You ingrates! Alanis can be naked in MY living room anytime!

I liked the closing ceremonies. The opening ones were all serious and showcasing Canada. The closing ceremonies were all about poking fun at ourselves(the faulty flame pillar, moose antlers, typical stereotypes, etc.) and having fun ending what has been a truly awesome national party.

I really liked the closing ceremony. The only thing I didn't get was the line up from Nickelback to K-os. I was hoping for Sam Roberts' 'Fixed to ruin' or even Sloan's 'If it feels good do it'. Neil Young was cool, though.

[Arctic_Menace]

I don't know why Simple Plan was there.

I mean, all the other artists had songs that made sense and related to the games in some way. Keep on Running, Wunderkind, Burn it to the Ground, etc. But Your Love is a Lie? WTF?!

[herbie]

Neil Young should have sung Heart of Gold... but that would've been rubbing it in their faces. Like the SCTV lady said, we're too polite!

[Faye]

Avril sang Girlfriend: didn't really fit in the line up. Yeah, Heart of Gold would have been better. Can't believe it's over...

There wasn't enough french entertainment. There are hundreds of very very talented Quécois(e) that could have been asked to entertain, both in the opening and the closing ceremonies.. Would have loved to see Don Cherry have a part as well.
