Yeah, while in some areas it could have looked lip-sync'd, it didn't sound lip-sync'd.

Yeah.
The only performer who, to me, sounded lip-sync'd was Alanis Morissette. But that was a vocals-only performance from her, and she's known for being strong in that area - it's not like she dances around or anything. (Same with k.d. lang in the opener - sounded almost too good to be live, but then again she's also known for her voice.)
Or it could be a bit of both, as Harlot said. I don't know. But I wanted to make it clear that there's a difference between performers in the show - i.e. Bublé - and the bands that played afterward. If Bublé messed up once, the entire performance could've been thrown off. If the Hedley guitarist plays a wrong note or the singer sings the wrong line, the band's just going to play on; who's going to know? Or care?

I really didn't mean to open a can of worms with this folks. Truly. And it's really not a big deal.
David Atkins (the executive producer of the opening and closing ceremonies explained to The Vancouver Sun;
“For international televised live spectacles of this size and scope, it is standard practice to pre-record the musical segments to ensure the integrity and security of the broadcast transmission.”
(Link)
This does not diminish the artists' capabilities in any way shape or form, it's simply technical precaution.
Having said that, I do believe that Neil Young actually played and sang. Not that much to worry about when you're solo.

LOL!
I could've been disappointed to see Nicleback at the closing (along with the lame Shatner jokes) were I not on such a high from the gold medal game.
I liked Brokaw's piece on Canada's relationship with the USA prior to the opening ceremonies ...

Nope. Those are the Edmonton quadruplets. These guys have been on the ice since they were two years old.
One of the brothers made it to the Olympic Team, second from the left, so when he won gold the organizers got the remaining brothers to fly out and share the moment.

yeah, its team sharks (marleau, thorton, heatley, boyle) on team canada. which is pretty much the only reason why the sharks (totally meant to say canada but im probably just sad that the sharks can never win a stanley cup) even got to the finals.
because sidney crosby sucks
