Are you liking the opening ceremony to the olympics in sochi right now?

I'm flipping back and forth between channels, including the opening ceremony right now in Russia. I like this history thing that they're doing since I'm a history buff.

Also, what did you think of the song that the Russians came out to. It's by the group T.A.T.U. which I knew from a long time ago (10 or so years) when Victoria from the WWE used one of their songs for her theme song. The girls in T.A.T.U. are supposedly gay/lesbian. We recently learned that Vladimir putin is antigay and that he's getting a lot of criticism from it. Are you surprised that they played T.A.T.U. (since they are a Russian pair after all)

I think the Vancouver opening ceremony was better. It had more heart and soul than this opening ceremony. Yes, the Sochi OC may have been technologically superior (the quality of the projection on the floor and the overhead cranes was amazing), but I felt the Vancouver OC was content with presenting a nice show and involving all the ethnic groups in the area (especially the Native Americans). The Sochi OC was more of an attempt to impress the world, and demonstrate the "Russia is back as a world power." Given the fact that there were about 20 nations in the audience who were formerly under Russian domination, I thought it was awkward...

I'm Russian. I liked it. The historic stuff really reminded me of what I learned from my parents and grandparents. I still ended up learning more. Well done.

But I couldn't believe that before the ceremony itself started the people who work on NBC (the channel I was watching) talked about politics and even asked Obama to talk about America's relationship with Russia, some gay stuff, and so on. Who gives a dump about that stuff. That's not what the Olympics are about no matter where they take place.

I'm watching it right now. I also like history so I'm enjoying it. I really have no opinion on the song Russia came out to or Putin's anti-gay stance. I was more annoyed by the USA's uniforms. They looked like ugly Christmas sweaters. Ugh, so disappointing. Lol

I think it was good but not really SUPER INTERESTING to me. That glitch with the Olympic rings though. Doubt that was an error. Just saying, something must have been behind the Northern American Ring.

TATU was fake lesbians. they did that for popularity (told by their manager or producer) but still I like their songs.
