yoshi Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Surely they could've found a higher ranking royal for a Games in England. Also that charity bit was better than Glasgow, fitting and much less overpowering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Actually uh....Ozzy looks like he's dying or something. Yikes. And you can tell the big difference between him actually speaking and then going back to lipsynch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustralianFan Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Loved the handover performances to Victoria 2026! Especially Baker Boy. What a talent he is and delivered a powerful and catchy rap performance. Loved Vanessa Amarosi’s return to a ceremony too. Go Victoria 2026!

yoshi Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Yeah that's really why I thought they'd use it, especially at the closing. From the moment the awful bit of the handover gave way to the flashmob we should've known Brum would nail it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
