Opening Ceremony

Are you trying to claim JRR Tolkien now?! He was from German stock, not Italian.

Just so long as you keep your hands off CS Lewis. He's our's! (He's got family connections to a house just outside my hometown, where my great-granda was a gardener).

Nooo She said venti-ventisei instead of duemilaventisei. I shiver in indignation

The name carriers look very spacey.

100% pre-recorded and lip synced. She can't do whistle-tone live anymore. Also there was absolutely no performance quality to that. She looked like a piece of lumber singing that.

If she was lip syncing standing there like a tree, it’s time to revoke her diva card. I judged her for lip syncing in Glitter. We’ve dealt with her terrible recent live meltdown at New Year’s but THIS is beyond the pale!

IIrc the rules say first Greece for historic reasons, then alphabetical order by host country language, last the host. It was funny in China.
