NBC has the exclusive rights to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, again. So, again, we only get to see the parts of the Olympic games that the producers at NBC deem fit for us.
They did finally announce today that they would not show the video of fallen luge athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili. This comes after showing the video on every news opportunity NBC had yesterday (the day of the deadly accident.
The opening ceremonies in Vancouver were boring. Not compared to China's opening, just boring in general. I'm really glad they let the parade of athletes come first.
Of all the pomp and circumstance prior to the athletes taking to the mountains, I enjoyed the unveiling of the re-recording of "We Are the World" the most. I was a little put off by Michael Jackson being dubbed in at first, but after seeing the full version I really like it on it's own. I'm glad they kept MJ in there.
The star power showed up again, in even bigger fashion to some extent. I was shocked to see Barbra Streisand in any sort of chorus, good for her. Pink continues to impress me with her voice.
I even liked the rap part of the new "We Are the World" song. All I could really hear was LL CoolJ... and that's fine with me!
Here are a few clips:
