If Dick Button is there you would have an Olympic flag and an Olympic fag in the same place!
She was awful!! This opera lady is 500 times better and I don’t even know what she’s saying......
I was afraid I was going to miss the torch but I see I didn’t....
I checked, but they aren’t close-captioning the songs, so I can’t tell what the words are. But I bet if we knew the words, we’d be laughing at the serious presentation of this song.
Not the kind I speak.
Diana Ross?
Bobby Orr never faced anything this tough in the NHL.
I think I actually sort of want to be her. She was amazing.
I didn’t know Joe Scarborough was covering the Olympics for PMSNBC.
She been checked for IEDs?
It’s the Olympic Hymn, it goes on and on and on and on and on
Where did all you folks find coverage of the opening ceremonies? All I see is that it is on NBC, and so far NBC is showing bupkis. Olympics puff pieces.
Where were the opening ceremonies being broadcast?
She trained hard for that voice. It’s an instrument.
The translation of what she is singing is....
“My hair is too biiiiiiiig.....and my song it is toooooo long...”
Even Costas was laughing after that.
Anyone interested in actual sports should switch over to ESPN, where West Virginia and Pitt have just gone into the third overtime.
AHHHH! Moment of silence best thing I’ve heard all night! Hooray for the sounds of silence...
Olympic Hymn Lyrics
Olympian flame immortal
Whose beacon lights our way
Emblaze our hearts with the fires of hope
On this momentous day
As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold
Sing out each nation, voices strong
Rise up in harmony
All hail our brave Olympians
With strains of victory
Olympic light burn on and on
O’er seas and mountains and plains
Unite, inspire, bring honor
To these ascending games
May valor reign victorious
Along the path of golden way
As tomorrow’s new champions now come forth
Rising to the fervent spirit of the game
Let splendour pervade each noble deed
Crowned with glory and fame
And let fraternity and fellowship
Surround the soul of every nation
Oh flame, eternal in your firmament so bright
Illuminate us with your everlasting light
That grace and beauty and magnificence
Shine like the sun
Blazing above
Bestow on us your honor, truth and love
Olympian flame immortal
Whose beacon lights our way
Emblaze our hearts with the fires of hope
On this momentous day
As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold
Sing out each nation, voices strong
Rise up in harmony
All hail our brave Olympians
With strains of victory
Olympic light burn on and on
O’er seas and mountains and plains
Unite, inspire, bring honor
To these ascending games May valor reign victorious
Along the path of golden way
As tomorrow’s new champions now come forth
Rising to the fervent spirit of the game
Let splendour pervade each noble deed
Crowned with glory and fame
And let fraternity and fellowship
Surround the soul of every nation
Oh flame, eternal in your firmament so bright
Illuminate us with your everlasting light
That grace and beauty and magnificence
Shine like the sun
Blazing above
Bestow on us your honor, truth and love
