No parade of nations is the thing that i dislike about YOG. Just carrying flags with no athletes marching, i suggest that Innsbruck 2012 YOG will have parade of nations in the opening ceremony.
@MoKsIn1996 I do not know if there is any place that sells the YOG CD...But being a performer at the Opening Ceremony,I was given the YOG CD for free,which contains recollections of the YOG and the full version of Opening and closing ceremony...Maybe if there are people you know that are involved in the ceremonies,you can ask?
they should have showed the whole flag thing, i love that part! ^^ but anyway i still love singapore, the best country in the world in my opinion.. NO OFFENCE MEANT
haters, you're just jealous how great and awesome Singapore is. and i bet you just want to stay in Singapore but you can't. i know jealousy kills, and i also believe karma will find you.
@fj1764 Let me ask u, HOW MANY SINGAPOREANS ARE USED TO BUILD AND MAKE THIS A SUCESS?
5,000,000 which is all of singapore! Even elderly members also saw the torch relays, children as well, we all went to watch, so i ask u how many compared to foreign workers? AND DONT CALL THEM SLAVES!
Olympics Prez J Rogge described the village as "first class. This is the 22nd village I visited, since my first Olympic Games in 1968 so I can compare, and this is in the top league of the Olympic villages".4-time Olympic medallist sprinter Frank Frederick said that all the best youth athletes in the world want to represent their country at the YOG so "it's no wonder they're setting new records." Internationale de Gymanastique Prez Bruno Grandi said "the YOG level is extremely high."
"The Youth Olympics Games Int Olympics Comm president Jacques Rogge , was very happy with the tv coverage and YouTube hits in so many countries with 166 broadcasters, exclaiming,"It was the? 3rd most-watched item on Youtube in the world..that's something!" . 205 Countries participated, and newspapers and TV channels in Asia , Europe and the West caught the resounding success of the Opening Ceremony in Singapore held @ the Marina Barrage. One Australian tabloid posed," Could we do this?"
They are indeed the best country on earth......they have the best airline, best airport and the cleanest city ever.. seems like everything that is great comes out from this tiny, yet powerful country!
@sfotpe oh really? have you surveyed, explored and thoroughly evaluated and conducted scientific assessment of ALL the countries in the face of the earth? PURELY OPINIONATED
@sfotpe It's not as clean as you think, have you been to Singapore? If Yes you've probably been to the city in a fancy hotel ^-^ I'm just saying, almost every where by the HDBs it's all Dirt ; Cigars and ... Dirt! No Offence though I'm just saying xD
Vibrant performance! What vivid colors beautiful country! One Gem in the cornicopiea of God's children on Earth. That's what the Olympics are...a celebration of mankind and achievements One world One Race: )
broadcast around the world as someone researched and claimed here , why has it not even have a million hits yet? time not enough, money not enough, foul mouths more than enough, rock here rock there more than enough, why are billions - india and china has more than 2 billion people - around the world not coming in to help this yog rock further?
did someone kill this yog and now wants new delhi cwg to go the same way for comparison?
@MegaRose235 we didnt offend india, instead we work with india! So pls dun insult YOG. CWG is a smaller event then yog. i watched it! i think it was pretty ok! But since u love the cwg india, i will not compare yog to cwg, cuz i scared u will feel not very happy
@dlhc30 A lot of the concepts for these Singapore Opening Ceremonies were copied straight from previous Olympic Ceremonies....I see a lot of Sydney, Torino, Beijing, and Salt Lake in this show. Even the arrival of the Olympic flame is a bit similar to the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony baton relay.
@dlhc30 This opening ceremony is indeed very well done. The stage is spectacular, but mostly it's because of the overall development of Marina Bay which is indeed one of the best bay in the world. However, to say that it is the best ceremony might be pushing it a little. It is very, very difficult to upstage e.g. Beijing in 2008. This is mostly because of the difference in budget. So I'm not sure who are the "some" people who said that this is one of the best olympic opening ceremony in history.

watch "dynasty peasant" here in youtube and get a more rounded view of singapore beyond this bollywood , if you really think sinagpore rocks with this yog.
you may change your mind .
singapore 's realities is no different from those in europe today.
the singaporean will alwyas be down-trodden.
people defending singapore here on this yog are paid to do so.
forgive them, it is their job.
for all you know, they may lose thier greencard/pr stautus and sent home to their countries of origin.
Can you just stop arguing and debating about how well or badly Singapore has done? Personally, I think Singapore has already done a great job! Every event will definitely have some mistakes. If you don't like it, it's your wish! You don't have to accuse the use of money whatsoever. At least Singapore has already made the EFFORT! We, the performers did our best after just 5 months or more/less and showed our spirit of Singapore and it's culture or meanings! It is over. Stop insulting, can't you?
I miss YOG... miss the float... miss the performances... songs played live there though we listened so many times... i miss my performance friends... I miss the F1 pit room... I miss the horrible food... I miss my trainers... It was really a great once in a lifetime experience. I do not and will never regret it. Well done Singapore!!!!!! THANK YOU SINGAPORE! I love you SINGAPORE!
@thai9001 The incidents about the food and the expired F1 tickets show that humans can make mistakes...But lets not take away the fact that the hosting of the inaugural YOG was done fantastically.How can you say you felt cheated?Its the thought that counts...I am sure the organisers wanted to reward you all with the F1 tickets and they did not meant this incident to happen...And if you had read the newspaper,the committee has said where did all of the money went to...

@thai9001 If you had truly relished and enjoyed this YOG experience,learnt many things and had had a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience,you wouldnt be affected about the food or the expired F1 tickets and you would be forgiving towards these unfortunate incidents...
@alyuful The free tickets were only for volunteers,not for performers...I read about the incident on newspaper...I think that people cannot use this incident to criticise the yog or regret volunteering...MCYS said the tickets were posted in batches from Tuesday,Sept 21.The last batch was sent to the post office on Wednesday evening...MCYS has apologised and said that their staff made a mistake in not making sure that there will be sufficient time for the tickets to be sent out...
will innsbruck YOG meet have all the participating member countries there?
i mean, why were majority of the usa team grossly absent here amongst some other well known countries - especially the western developed countries of europe that sent very few very few competitors?
Not all countries that participate in the Singapore YOG is going there, as some nations does not have snow to train their athletes.
Some countries are skeptical over the competition level that is going to take place in Singapore. Some even thought that its just a summer camp! So they rather keep their athletes away.. But after the Singapore 2010 YOG, Im sure many countries have regretted their actions.
@willyu1 it is a silly concept the olympics is really four years away max for these people I really cannot see the IOC needs and youth olympics besides to grab money and an audience for the dying olympic games. It was not shown at all on any of our channels in Australia .
@jjeblv Why would there be many five-star stars performing?Firstly,this the the Youth Olympic Games.Obviously apart from the four singers singing the theme song at the Opening Ceremony,the performers are young people.It does not mean that you need five-star stars to make the show interesting.Most of the money wasnt spent on the Opening Ceremony.And hosting such a big event needs money.Do you know that Beijing used BILLIONS of dollars during the Beijing Olympics 2008?
with so few five-star stars performing and a trash n garbage transformer look alike swinging from left to right and minimal props and and mostly water reflections and light effects, isn't $500 million spent here a little too much...half should have gone to the pakistan and sichuan flood victims?
just a thought only
am sure those little kids on stage with their chaperones are not paid like the volunteers served with very bad food.
@jjeblv You have no rights to criticise anything about the YOG.You do not know how difficult it is to host it so successfully,using just 2years.You also do not have appreciation for arts.What do you mean by "minimal props and mostly water reflections and light effects"?The water reflections and light effects were exquisite and breathtaking to watch.Every big event needs lots of money...Singapore has already spent much lesser than the adult Olympic Games.They used existing venus,for you info...
@willyu1@willyu1 Please get your facts right first before talking.The USA team coaches has expressed regret at not sending their team to Singapore.They had underlooked the competitiveness of the Youth Olympic Games,not because of the hot weather.Also,Sean Kingston was not here as he was at someone's concert,according to the news.Every country had their flags shown at the Opening Ceremony,just that in this video,they only show a summary of what is happening.
@PetroBruno In this video,they didn't show the whole Opening Ceremony...The video just shows a summary of what is in the opening.The flags of all the NOCs(National Olympic Committees) were displayed at the Opening Ceremony.
thumbs up if you think singapore did a good job of preparing for YOG although it was a very short time between the choosing of host country and the opening ceremony.
As a former resident of Singapura, I am so proud of this nation. Without racism, our nation has gone so far- everyone brings ideas from their home countries, even cuisine. It is truly the best nation, since you have the best of everything. They put on such a show to how few people, but those that see it will remember it forever.
haters, if you think this is horrible, think again. Singapore is a small country, and we only have two and a half yrs to prepare for this. plus, do u know that we hav to put in more than 100 hrs of rehearsals for YOG ? Btw GREAT JOB , peeps of opening ceremony :)
Malays, Chinese, Indians and Euroasians are the main ethnics groups in Singapore. That is our identity. Singapore is a multi-racials, languages and religions country.
the small catalina islands of of usa is bigger than singapore and nobody really wants to live there because the lifesyle there is so plastic and is for only the rich and famous on holiday.
do not compare tiny singapore with usa.
it is very misleading unless singapore.
also, with all the archaic laws including hanging or flogging for vandalism, it is more like the many prisons found in third world or most communist countries.

@scorpioninpink, a very small country of migrants like singapore should not be said to be the same.
the usa survived new york sept 11 bombings.
if that happened in singapore as one asean minster commented, singapore will be history because of the migrants will flee from singapore as their loyalties are NEVER FOR singaPORE.
MOST HERE ARE IN SINGAPORE TO CASH IN ON SINGAPORE'S WEALTH ONLY.
IN SHORT, MONEY CANNOT BUY LOYALTY FOR SINGAPORE, YOG or not.
@thai9001 ok, my mistake... i don't mean to compare it like that... i mean the origin of USA and SINGAPORE is the same... but when it comes to loyalty, americans are patriotic and singaporians are too... no comment...
I just don't get it. Haters are people who just think it's actually great but don't want to say it. Cause they see the majority actually hating and slamming this ceremony. A way to blend in huh?
Great job Singapore! It looks like a great time for athletes, performers and audience. I think it would have been very cool to have been a young person performing.
I love reading about the comments directed towards "haters". It is not surprising that when the insignificant accomplishments of a "tiny" people get crushed, they get all defensive. Apparently Singapore is not just a small country, but it's people are also small and insipid on the inside.
to me, as long as everybody (incudg host nation Sg) involved in this YOG did their best to present themselves well, thats already deserving of fair comment..& so far they did just great. So, for the youths here & some unfair adults comments..time to grow up & participate in the real world :)
@gootham1 ..fair there thanks & I appreciate you guys volunteering tho..lesson learnt, hopefully they remember that failed job & start correcting.. otherwise u get no real volunteers next
@redmouthfish: why would u compare.. these two games are of the different scale, totally different. As long as it is a success, that's all we need...everyone knows Singapore will try to bring out the best they have..!
No parade of nations is the thing that i dislike about YOG. Just carrying flags with no athletes marching, i suggest that Innsbruck 2012 YOG will have parade of nations in the opening ceremony.

will innsbruck YOG meet have all the participating member countries there?
i mean, why were majority of the usa team grossly absent here amongst some other well known countries - especially the western developed countries of europe that sent very few very few competitors?

@khm8191
the next yog is in 2014 in nanking, china, not innsbruck.
wonder how so many people here think the next yog will be innsbruck.
after the beijing summer olympics of 2008, expect a razzle dazzle of a nanking yog.
hopefully , the usa team should be bigger.

@willyu1 The next YOG is in Nanjing, thts true. But however, the first YOG Winter Edition will be in Innsbruck, in 2012.

thnks for clarifying the winter version of yog.
will be fun there in winter n hoping more countries and competitors will be there
too - especially those who skipped/gave their misses to this singapore yog.
wonder what kept so many away from this singapore yog.
do you know why?

@willyu1 No Problem
Hope everyone have fun there!
Not all countries that participate in the Singapore YOG is going there, as some nations does not have snow to train their athletes.
Some countries are skeptical over the competition level that is going to take place in Singapore. Some even thought that its just a summer camp! So they rather keep their athletes away.. But after the Singapore 2010 YOG, Im sure many countries have regretted their actions.

@jjeblv Why would there be many five-star stars performing?Firstly,this the the Youth Olympic Games.Obviously apart from the four singers singing the theme song at the Opening Ceremony,the performers are young people.It does not mean that you need five-star stars to make the show interesting.Most of the money wasnt spent on the Opening Ceremony.And hosting such a big event needs money.Do you know that Beijing used BILLIONS of dollars during the Beijing Olympics 2008?
SuperStar0311 1 year ago 16
with so few five-star stars performing and a trash n garbage transformer look alike swinging from left to right and minimal props and and mostly water reflections and light effects, isn't $500 million spent here a little too much...half should have gone to the pakistan and sichuan flood victims?
just a thought only
am sure those little kids on stage with their chaperones are not paid like the volunteers served with very bad food.
how about it, give half of $500 m back to charity

@jjeblv You have no rights to criticise anything about the YOG.You do not know how difficult it is to host it so successfully,using just 2years.You also do not have appreciation for arts.What do you mean by "minimal props and mostly water reflections and light effects"?The water reflections and light effects were exquisite and breathtaking to watch.Every big event needs lots of money...Singapore has already spent much lesser than the adult Olympic Games.They used existing venus,for you info...

so, zeyou 1
....is quite right.
it is not the " singapore olympic games"
without the word "youth"
obvilously others will think it is the summer or winter olympic games for young and old.
since singapore is too hot for winter games, there was never a summer olympic games in singapore.
that's why the usa full team is not here and the sean kingston usa boy was missing and brazil's flag was missing along with several others.
willyu1 1 year ago
@willyu1 @willyu1 Please get your facts right first before talking.The USA team coaches has expressed regret at not sending their team to Singapore.They had underlooked the competitiveness of the Youth Olympic Games,not because of the hot weather.Also,Sean Kingston was not here as he was at someone's concert,according to the news.Every country had their flags shown at the Opening Ceremony,just that in this video,they only show a summary of what is happening.

As a former resident of Singapura, I am so proud of this nation. Without racism, our nation has gone so far- everyone brings ideas from their home countries, even cuisine. It is truly the best nation, since you have the best of everything. They put on such a show to how few people, but those that see it will remember it forever.

beijing was a summer games thats mean the biggest event in the whole world
with long history
but singapore organized a very first time event with a lot of expectations and small budjet from IOC
so compare it with the next youth games not with a summer games its unfair
its kinda silly comparison

looks like stageshows to other countries in asia and is not of singapore's own.
is there a a true singaporean identity?
yes, performances are great here but lack a sinaporean identity.
rock or not, for kids or adults, the masster of ceremony should have announced the origin of these performances.

the small catalina islands of of usa is bigger than singapore and nobody really wants to live there because the lifesyle there is so plastic and is for only the rich and famous on holiday.
do not compare tiny singapore with usa.
it is very misleading unless singapore.
also, with all the archaic laws including hanging or flogging for vandalism, it is more like the many prisons found in third world or most communist countries.
these countries are un-livable.

@scorpioninpink, a very small country of migrants like singapore should not be said to be the same.
the usa survived new york sept 11 bombings.
if that happened in singapore as one asean minster commented, singapore will be history because of the migrants will flee from singapore as their loyalties are NEVER FOR singaPORE.
MOST HERE ARE IN SINGAPORE TO CASH IN ON SINGAPORE'S WEALTH ONLY.
IN SHORT, MONEY CANNOT BUY LOYALTY FOR SINGAPORE, YOG or not.

american history comes with a slavery package not found in singapore.
america is a land of milk and honey for many who once arrived, they do not want to leave the usa.
feedback on singapore from youtube here suggests most come to singapore to hit the jackpot and leave immediately.
the usa and singapore cannot be said to be the same hence.
am not sure there is more patriotism in usa, though, although it looks like it only.
