do you know any similar nice shows like the olympic opening???

Answer 1

Unless you were actually at the event live it is hard to say how great it was.  The news has indicated that some of the show was actually computer generated / enhanced for the tv broadcast.  Additionally, the girl that was singing one of the songs was actually behind camera while they had a pretty girl in front of the camera lip sync.  

Answer 2

no way, i think the 2008 olympics opening was the best by far.  I'm excited to see what the 2010 winter olympics opening will be like! :)

Answer 3

The opening and closing ceremonies were unsurpassed as was the content.

I fear for 2012 that the UK will not even come close to that spectacle.

Answer 4

NO, the best Olympic opening show will be in 2036

Answer 5

I can't remember any show that impressed me more than that! it was fascinating xD
