When every country came out they walked in rows of at least 4. However when USA came out, they walked almost single file around the edge. Coincidentally this is where the film crew were.

Do you think that the Americans were hungry for the cameras as they always are?

What's wrong with wanting camera time?

Also, on a different note, I thought the opening ceremony was AMAZING! China did a great job. I loved the people inside the boxes who made waves and stuff like that. My family and I were debating if there were people in the boxes or if they were mechanized.

I didn't think it was right watching america take twice long as everyone else to get into formation just because the cameras were there.

I hear that parts of the televised version were faked: about half the fireworks were prerecorded.

Not that this would change a lot for the spectators in the stadium but still, the principle of it...

Really i dont think we can blame the athletes im sure they had someone putting them in formation. But the opening ceremony was AMAZING whoever hosts the olympics next has some big shoes to fill

In the news tonight, the little girl that sang the anthem, it was a lip sync. They had another girl with an amazing voice, but apparently they thought she was not cute enough for the world.

Also, part of the fireworks display, the best parts, were cropped in digitally. It was more amazing on T.V. then it was when you were there. Shame.

And there is nothing wrong with wanting the camera. If the other countries were not smart enough to do so, whatever.

It wasn't that they weren't clever enough, but everyone else has more thought about the rest of the world who weren't watching this to watch USA
