Noel was at the stadium haha

[todachannel15]

Ridding the Oasis name to rid the memory of Noel, yet still singing the song he wrote under the global coverage?

Noel must've been laughing behind the tube watching this.

[John Worsfold]

He sounds like shit in this.

[Giorgio Scrocca]

Noel refused to take part in this anyway mate, and Noel left oasis so they changed the name, oasis was Noel AND Liam so they had to, what do you expect?

[Ganang Hadly]

Arctic monkeys at opening and Liam at closing. Wonderful olympic ever

[Dan Lord]

Liam's voice isn't what it once was, get over it and stop slagging off your 'favourite band'. No doubt you're one of those 'fans', like most of the people on here, who have gone to see Oasis or Noel 'while they were in the area'. Sad cases. Get a grip.

[bijibadness]

liam sounds like the whale from "free willy" when its crying. search it for yourself. its a long way since, '95, boy. im so depressed.

[Dan Lord]

It's an Oasis song. Liam was the lead singer. He can do what the fuck he wants.
