I doubt you're wrong though.

And also, they didn't get to choose what they sang(or who they sang with) so maybe May and Taylor weren't very happy about singing with Jessie J either, I don't know.

I actually thought Jessie J sounded pretty good. New people are going to come along. Love them or hate them...who cares? If Queen wants to sing with Jessie J, let them. If Paul were to perform with One Direction, let him. I think it's a good way to pass on a legacy. You try to share what you know and teach a new generation. If they learn, great. More good music. If they don't, it's no skin off my back.

I hope all these new singers take control of ...]]> Tue, 14 Aug 2012 02:49:40 +0100 Into the Sky with Diamonds on Sir Paul to end London 2012 opening ceremony http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/sir-paul-to-end-london-2012-opening-ceremony/page-6/#p55666 Paul McCartney http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/sir-paul-to-end-london-2012-opening-ceremony/page-6/#p55666 Regardless of what you think of "Hey Jude" here's why the song was chosen:

In the past few months they have collaborated with Adam Lambert (I think he was on a talent show in America), Dappy from N-Dubz (who added an extra verse to We Will Rock You about "banging your mother") and now Jessie J. No wonder Deacon left them.

"Because" was the first song, sung by a choir.

A dance troupe danced to the transitions and Paul's part in ADitL

The choir sang the introduction to the Love version of Here Comes The Sun.

Imagine was probably the highlight of the show.

Russell Brand did I Am The Walrus. To be fair, he probably did it quite well... it's just he was surrounded by dancers not wearing very much and looking ridiculous.

Jim Carrey's cover way back for that George Martin cd was awful in itself, i have no doubt this is going to be so much worse.

What an insult! I know the song was meant to be nonsensical and funny in a way but I think this will be a step too far.

Thanks, Mith. I wish I was there. The general audience certainly doesn't seem to have turned against Paul in Britain. And the whole stadium singing All You Need is Love? Could the Olympics Games elicit any better response than that? ( although great thanks goes to that person who played it)

Life isn't fair, all I've been seeing are picture of Sauli Niinistö sitting in the audience. Gawd.
