Similar sentiments were echoed by, Louie Lobo (@LouieLobo) and Kelly Barrett (@KellyAlysia) who commented, respectively: "WTF is going on?!" -Says everyone who is watching the closing ceremony for #Olympics2012" and "It's like a group of high people sat down in a room and came up with ideas for this closing ceremony and NO IDEA WAS TURNED DOWN."
The "Best of British" performers at the Ceremony were also questioned by Tweeters with Austin Carr (Austin Carr) questioning: "Why is the Olympic closing ceremony only featuring music from Now! That's What I Call Music volume 3?"
