George Michael
Michael has had his share of personal problems, but he had plenty of fan support as he took the stage to sing his hit song"Freedom."
-
Russell Brand
Who knew Russell Brand could sing? The funnyman (and Katy Perry's ex) sang "Pure Imagination" and "I Am the Walrus," to mixed reviews.
-
The Who
Fans were furious when NBC delayed The Who's performance to show a preview of its new comedy "Animal Practice."
-
One Direction
The boy band of the moment performed their hit song, "What Makes You Beautiful."
-
Annie Lennox
Lennox sounded great singing her 1993 hit "Little Bird."
-
Pet Shop Boys
The Pet Shop Boys' 1984 hit "West End Girls" was the perfect tribute to the host country.
-
Brian May/Jessie J
We'd never heard of British pop star Jessie J, but apparently she's big enough to be chosen to sing “We Will Rock You” with Queen’s Brian May. And, um, we liked her outfit.

Did the Spice Girls spice up your life Sunday? The "Girls" (now pushing 40 with plenty of babies between them) reunited Sunday night for the Olympics Closing Ceremony -- and even London Mayor Boris Johnson couldn't help but dance along to "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life." However, we were a little worried that Victoria Beckham was going to fall off that car she was teetering on!
Overall, the Closing Ceremony felt like one big rock concert. George Michael has had his share of personal problems, but he had plenty of fan support as he took the stage to sing his 1990 hit, "Freedom." We'd never heard of British pop star Jessie J, but apparently she's big enough to be chosen to sing "We Will Rock You" with Queen’s Brian May. But fans were furious when NBC delayed The Who's performance to show a preview of its new comedy "Animal Practice."

Sorry I just came up with that rhyme and had to post it...
The best part of the Closing Ceremony for me was seeing the video of John Lennon singing ''Imagine'' and then some of the performers made a sculpture-like image of his face. I thought that was fantastic!
Ahh why the hell was one direction there ?/ they totally killed the whole thign !! they would have put "the wanted" there or "mcfly" they are so much better than one direction
SHE'S A TOTAL HOTTIE
I'd rather have small breasts on a woman than a bunch of flab.
However, where was Eric Idle???
I loved the opening ceremonies but the closing was a complete yawn fest.
What happened to Elton John? Where was Phil Collins? How about Eric Clapton? or
Led Zepplin? The Rolling Stones (although Jagger looks horrible!) Who were The Who
imposters?? The futuristic lighting and special effects were simply spectacular and Rio de
Janiero had better start working on their show starting today.!!
