Ikarus360 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Lmao i forgot the closing ceremony was today (was very busy at college sorry) altough i watched some videos of the rehearsals from Youku (they did a mix of various dances from asia). Did the handover to Incheon already happened? How was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huaiwei Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 They had rain performing and you can see the Korean gals screaming in the crowd. Anyway I much prefer this multi-cultural performance than the usual string of local songs which most of the international crowd can barely understand in almost every other CC. While I do understand Chinese, I am pretty sure most of the international folks would switch their TV off if it is just going to be a barrage of Chinese songs. They smartly did not do that.

Ikarus360 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Watching some videos of the closing ceremony at Youtube you can check them up here http://www.youtube.com/user/telugukeywords It is me or this CC is 100 times better than the closing of Beijing 2008?

huaiwei Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hmmm I cannot even remember what the closing ceremony was like for Beijing 2008. A whole bunch of Chinese songs, right? This CC was remarkable in that they chose to showcase Pan-Asian cultures now rather than in the OC. For once, I actually sat through it all. It is probably just me, but I never liked those "pop concert" style closing ceremonies which tend to be the case nowadays. Such a big yawn.

Ikarus360 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Someone uploaded the full handover to Incheon 2014 on Youtube (although in bad quality) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGh-IP8PneI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Am listening to all the pop songs. It all sounds Greek to me!! It's too much. NO SUBTLETY whatsoever. I'm sure the fireworks subcontactors got rich on this one...one by one! (P.S. Of all the Chinese cuisines, I like Cantonese best of all...over Szechuan and Hunan...all too spicy!!)

Agreed Baron! I couldn't sit through the whole opening and haven't tried the closing because I was turned off. Tone it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pui from HK Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just for record, the closing ceremony of Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games: Playlist: Due to the strong social pressure, there were more Cantonese songs in the closing ceremony. cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guangzhou_Television_Cantonese_controversy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
