Vancouver Olympics

[Doc Holliday]

I'm watching the Olympic anthem "I Believe" sung by both Nikki Yanovfski & Annie Villeneuve. They're obviously both lipsynching. I hope there won't be much of that stuff tonight during the closing ceremonies. It's impossible for me to imagine the legendary Neil Young lipsynching!

is it just me or did Avril Lavigne look drop dead gorgeous in that red dress tonight at the closing ceremonies?

Avril ALWAYS looks drop-dead gorgeous.

Nikki Yanofsky looked a lot hotter in at the closing ceremonies than the opening ceremonies with those tight leather look pants and a more mature hair/makeup job. They gave her better lyrics too.

It was a pretty good show except for the assinine comedians.

I'm sorry to bring that point here but until yesterday I didn't have any idea (like all the people aroumd me during the show) who was Katherine O'Hara. Is it another proof that Quebec and the rest of canada are two different countries when it comes to culture? This kind of humor (if we can call it humor) is alien to me. The same effect would have created, I guess, by sending Les Denis Drolet to a show representing Canada around the world.

If you don't know who Catherine O'Hara is, I'm very surprised. Pretty much everyone I know has seen Home Alone, she played the mother, or one of her many other movies. And you would have a problem finding someone, English speaking of course, who is a fan of good comedy who isn't familiar with SCTV. But humour tends to be culturally related so it's understandable that a French Quebecer would not get it, just as most English Canadians or Americans wouldn't find Quebec humour very funny.

As for the closing ceremonies, I thought the highlight was the way they handled the Olympic torch and was happy to see Catriona get her chance to light it. Avril looked very hot and it was a nice change from her usual 16 year old grunge girl look. It's about time she grows up a bit. All in all I thought it was a nice send off to the Games. A shame that NBC cut their coverage at 10:30 to show that stupid new Seinfeld reality show. What a bad move that was.

You're right Techman, she played in the Home Alone movies. I didn't recognized her (as her role on this movie was secondary if I may say so) and I also learned on the Net that she was also on several other movies. I was unable to make the connection. I guess that's in humor that the biggest gap exists between the Anglo and the Franco because when it comes to music (or other form of arts) I know and appreciate Canadian artists (and I was very pleased to see Neil Young)

Medvedev calls for resignations after Russia flops at Winter Olympics

Russian athletes, trainers and sport officials blamed bad luck, lousy weather, equipment failure, echoes of previous doping scandals, judges' bias and other factors for its dismal showing.
