Love the balloon idea though to be fair.

Beautiful!

 

[TomandJerry]

That's an impressive flame

 

[Frutos]

Felt a bit sorry for the 100 year old gentleman in the wheelchair, sitting there in the pissing rain.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

It's raining so hard it must be being held in Manchester!

[TomandJerry]

So very French.

Amazing.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Surreal experience.

Parts of this absolutely brilliant with spectacular backdrops, parts of it just utterly shit.

And now the Titanic song woman?! Surreal.

 

[Weststander]

That’s the best pretend piano playing I’ve seen.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Hang on a minute, didnt Celine have to give up her Las Vegas residency as he voice had gone!

unless she is miming this is some belting out!

 

[Curious Orange]

Could they not find a decent French singer?

 

[A1X]

Fantastic torch to be fair

 

[Silverhatch]

Bonkersly brilliant flame. Vive Le

 

[Dave the OAP]

Hot Gossip?

Hot Gossip?

Looks great, although personally, I think the flame should be burning in the main Sporting Arena.

I know she's had a lot of health issues - that sounded superb though.

 

[TomandJerry]

Celine

 

[Grizz]

The hot air balloon cauldron is very cool, I like that and Celine saves the opening ceremony with a magnificent performance.

Bit of a difference between a one-off gig and a residency. Repeat shows must really take their toll. Incredible performance though.

Give me those magic words! "The flame is lit, now over to the horse archery qualifiers".
