  • John Williams is the best composer of our time.

  • Juan Antonio Samaranch hated Atlanta from the beginning so he never was going to give credit when things were good...

    John Williams is arguably the best conductor and memorable American composer of the 20th century

  • Great, just great. The previous Olympic opening ceremonies are just truly wonderful from Moscow, Los Angeles, Seoul, Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, and Beijing. They're just wonderful. I can't express the wonderful feeling when watching these ceremonies by words, unlike the London crap, Britons have no knowledge of the Olympics even someone said, "opening ceremony london 2012 should be 2000 topless babes" bah! That was the worst comment ever. A lot of countries would boycott if it was did.

  • Man I love a good opening ceremony and this was superb!

  • @dnmukhra I can agree, however Beijing was in 2008, Atlanta was in 1996. They did the best they could for the time period.

  • @edwardinkling I was three!! Wasn't it just awesome??

  • @sportysocrchik98 He's one of the best of the World!!

  • @harleykman

    I do agree si much. I thought for sure he would talk through Jessye Norman's later finale solo

  • @gabbynewneo he and howard shore yes. (not danny tho) lol

  • I wish I had been there...too bad I was just a year old. :/

  • Me and my high school band are playing this same song right now :) John Williams is a great composer :)

  • it should be Athens' games but the theme song the Power of the Dream is a great work
