Closing The Olympics With A Whole Lotta Love

Closing The Olympics With A Whole Lotta Love In what will be one of the most interesting hook-ups in music history, it has been revealed that guitar god and legend, Jimmy Page, will team up with England’s answer to Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, to deliver a “Whole Lotta Love” at the closing ceremonies of the Olympics.

Sources at Starpulse.com got a hold of a comment made on British session bassist Guy Pratt’s blog, in which the musician stated, “You may also be interested to know that when Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis perform ‘Whole Lotta Love’ at the end of the Olympics, that's me playing bass on it.” Some people can’t keep their excitement—and secrets—to themselves.

This is big news for fans of the epic, life altering opening ceremonies (can we say all the nations of the free world?) who were all a quiver to see how China could even attempt to meet the hyper indulgent events of the opening, let alone top it. Personally, I have a great deal of skepticism. Being an obligatory fan of Led Zeppelin and being completely unimpressed with Leona Lewis, this is one that I’ll have to watch to make sure a classic of epic proportions such as “Whole Lotta Love” doesn’t fall prey to the death traps that odd collaborations tend to be. (Can we say Beyoncé trying to outshine Prince on his performance at the Grammy’s?) All I can say is keep her in line, Jimmy. Keep her in line.

    Hmm. Leona Lewis is far better known across the world than some failed pop fossil.

    You old losers need to wake up to the 21st century.

    But why is she performing such a crap song? No one in the stadium will know the words.

    In Sydney they had Kylie doing ABBA's Dancing Queen. WE have one of the most famous female singers performing with a man who might as well be dead for all most of us care.

    Oh dear.

    Jimmy Page "some failed pop fossil"? Hilarious. Let's check back on how many remember who Leona Lewis is in two years.

  1. Jack Says:

    "old losers"? I'm eighteen and even I know that Jimmy Page is one of the most influential guitarists of all time. Heck, he was one of the two main reasons I decided to learn how to play guitar (the other reason being Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi and his monster riffs).

    Let's see who gives a rat's arse about Leona Lewis in twenty five years. Jimmy Page's music has stood the test of time. Leona Lewis sounds mediocre even today.
