Leona Lewis Performed @ The 2008 Olympics Closing Ceremony
Sunday, August 24th, 2008 after a late four martini lunch by Moe
Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page plays alongside Leona Lewis.To tell you the truth, I didn't think Leona Lewis was a big enough star to land a huge gig like the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games! I'm pretty sure she can retire with that fat paycheck! God damn! Good for her!
Mixed legacy likely as China's Olympics conclude
With help from British star power, China concluded its debut as Olympic host Sunday after 16 days of near-flawless logistics and superlative athletic achievement — coexisting awkwardly with the government's wariness of dissent and free speech.
A spectacular closing ceremony opened with torrents of fireworks and included a pulsating show-within-a-show by London, host of the 2012 Games. From a stage formed from a red double-decker bus, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page played classic rock hit "Whole Lotta Love" and soccer icon David Beckham booted a ball into the surrounding throng of athletes on the stadium floor.
Then more lyrical music returned, and the Olympic flame atop the stadium was extinguished.
To a large extent, China, an emergent superpower, got what it had craved from these long-sought games: a dominant effort by its athletes to top the gold-medal standings for the first time and almost glitch-free organizing that showcased world-class venues and cheerful volunteers to the largest-ever peaceful influx of foreign visitors.
As a bonus, not just one but two athletes gave arguably the greatest performances in Olympic history — Michael Phelps with his eight gold medals in swimming, Jamaica's ebullient Usain Bolt with three golds and three world records in the sprints. [AP via Yahoo!]

Beckham was absolutely gorgeous, but Leona who performed with the guy from Led Zeppelin was the MOST horrible performance I've ever seen.
Way too rocky and it didn't fit into the chinese theatrical set at all.

She's alright, i like her face. She's got a "cum on my tits" look about her. Her body is alright and shes got a tight tummy. Not sure about her legs, they're a bit chubby and out of place from the rest of her streamlined fit body. Still, i'd spread those chocolate elephant trunks of hers and pump her deep. That picture looks like she was being supported by sitting with a pole up her arse.

LOL. Check out picture 11. Theres a bald guy on the left, looks like he's trying to catch a glimpse under Leona's skirt. Maybe she's not wearing any panties and he's trying to gander a look at her pussy. I wonder if shes fully shaven or afro hairy! LOL.

Here's the video:
Somehow I didn't feel like her voice matched the song.
Page rocks though.

London really has to step it up a notch if they aren't going to embarrass the rest of us in England.
China's opening ceremony had a cast of thousands. I half expect London's to be two Pearly Kings, a few Morris Dancers and a dance troupe recreating the chimney sweep scene from Mary Poppins complete with 'Mockney' accents. All to the tune of Chas and Dave.

That was some sad action,the best thing about that whole thing was the reaction of the Chinese teenager that caught Bend over like Beckhams weak ass kick. Bad lip sync,Page is a washed up sell out & DB is a cock smoker.
