| Olympics Closing Ceremony: "Whole Lotta Love?" I just can't fathom why, of all the songs you could associate with London, they chose "Whole Lotta Love." My DD asked if she was singing out what she thought she singing about, and I said, "Unfortunately, yes." At least they changed some of the lyrics . . . What a bad, bad choice! Anyone else agree? |

| yep, totally. first of all, WHO is that chicky that was singing...aint never heard of her. second of all, she butchered the song, her dress was ugly, etc, etc. and how does david beckham fit into it all. i felt like i was in a weird dream. of course, i don't have any suggestions as to what it should have been...the whole thing was sort of weird and i turned it off....ha ha ha       |

| That was Leona Lewis - she's fairly new. I'm not wild about her music and I totally agree about the "Whole Lotta Love" - very strange choice!

| I'm a lifelong Zepellin fan and that is an odd choice. I might be in the minority here, but I think Leona Lewis has a fabulous voice. That just wasn't a good song for her

| Our friends texted us last night about the preformace but we ended up missing it. I'm sure we can see it on YouTube. I'm still upset that Jimmy Page did a song w/ "Puff Daddy" P-Diddy?

| As a Brit watching the British coverage, we got the full explanation - the idea is it was to send a message to the world (judging by everyone's comments, it didn't work  ) that you're (and I quote) going to get "a whole lotta love" from London with its Olympics. It was definitely taking the Mickey out of Britain, which is something we're known for and we really enjoyed it. Everything was very British and all I can say is roll on the next 1,432 days when the Olympics come to us.

| I thought it was an odd combination, for sure . . . though I did kind of understand the "purpose" of the "whole lotta love" thing once they changed the lyrics.  As for Beckham . . . the man is pretty much one of the most famous men in England and most definitely an icon. So, he showed up as one of the London icons up there on what I am now calling the London Double Decker Transformer bus.
