    You can't tell what the real audience is up to. All you're seeing are the athletes and the stage cool rentacrowd wannabees.

    Yes it was Little Eva. Im old enough to remember that. Preferred it to Kylies version.

    Lulu had a big hit with it in the 60's

    Kylie isn't really relevant anymore but that's not usually factor at these type of things

    It's become the Kylie show. Boring. So many excellent Scottish singers/bands could have been on. This has really annoyed me. :-(

    I guess the decent Scottish bands didn't want to do it. I'm sure they would have been asked.

    Don't think this works that well with the guitars.

    Lot of Glasgow haters on here. If you don't like it, other channels are available! :D

    What would rescue this for me is Alex Salmond giving a speech, cut short by a Glasgow Kiss from Paddy Ashdown.

    lol. I was the most unobservant person ever. My friend kept saying "I think this is another gay bar" and I just kept saying "oh I don't think so" and not noticing women snogging each other at the bar and on the dancefloor. The best was when we entered a pub that was full of 70 year old gay men with mustaches all dancing to "I was a male stripper in a go go bar" and I still didn't catch on :o:D

    I know what you mean a mate and me walked into a brothel in France once, we didn't catch on until we had to pay for 2 beers that cost a sodding fortune and in the corner 6 half naked women were playing cards. We shot out of there like a cork out of a champers bottle!

    I like Kylie, so I'm enjoying this, but I get your point. Really should have had more big Scottish performers.

    Every time she shouts Glasgow I'm reminded of the Bill Bailey sketch with Marilyn Manson shouting Milton Keynes....

    My friend's posting photos live from this and they look like people are having more fun than what we're seeing. She's part of the Cayman team

    I suppose they wanted a big singer as it is going to Australia, and who better than Kylie. She is their biggest export since neighbours :D

    But Scotland's role as hosts has now ended and the new hosts are now Australia - hence Kylie.
