It doesn't matter how beautiful it is sung by the artist, if it is sung in such a way that we cannot sing along with them. Let us show the World during the closing ceremonies just how proud we are, and raise that roof.The National Anthem should be sung in such a way that every Canadian in the Stadium can sing along, and just about raise the roof off the building in pride.

As a planner I look at the technical setup and logistics and I thought they did an amazing job. I was wowed by the content and the audio visual projection - I'm speechless. I would LOVE to use some of that technology for my events (but I don't have a budget like the Olympics). I have never seen an interaction between projection and people before. I thought they pushed AV to a new level and I congratulate them for the ingenuity and creativity. I was also relieved to see they had their share of technical issues, it made it all a little more human somehow. But overall I have a very positive impression of what they did and I know there were a huge number of hours and heart put into that opening ceremony.I was so thoroughly impressed with the opening ceremonies.

That's so Canadian. We need to think on a global scale. A Canadian can and should work anywhere in the world and equally, so can the best in the business, no matter where they are from.
Instead, let's talk about the great snowboarding trick through the Olympic rings launching the opening, the outstanding performance by KD Lang and the whales coming through the performance floor as some of the highlights.
On the lesser scale, it seemed like some of the live performances were diminished by the scale of their surroundings and were tough to view on TV and probably worse for the live audience.Stop whining about where the person comes from and let it be the best person for the job!

Surely, there must be a Canadian that is capable and proud to be involved with such an amazing event. You would think that Australia is the only country that has ever put on an Olympic games or event before - they are everywhere and it is driving us Vancouverites and Canadians mad. Why can they not for once, stick their noses somewhere else. Let's hope that London listens for once and involves it's own people rather than foreigners.
