True, but are there enough REALLY good Italian entertainers to fill the opening and closing ceremonies? And can sing in English?
But yeah, perhaps they could have gone with more of a national flavor.
Anyway, all in all I've enjoyed these Olympics. Don't care for many of NBC's programming decisions, but the production quality has been great. And loved all the trash disco songs at the opening ceremonies.
BTW, completely ridiculous that a figure skater could fall TWICE and still win a silver medal.
