Led Zeppelin alum Jimmy Page got together with British singing sensation Leona Lewis at the Olympics closing ceremony to perform a duet of "Whole Lotta Love."
There's a whole lotta think about here, like what an odd pairing this seems to be at first glance, and the fact that Leona is on stilts. When I hear her voice I think, "Pretty!" but then I'm confused because I wouldn't expect to hear those kind of vocal loopdee-loos in this song. So, let's put it to a vote!
c'mon ppl! that was an AWESOME performance!

Leona Lewis + Jimmy Page = Awesome! It's definitely an interesting combination, but that's why I like it.
3
I think her voice is awful to begin with, but this was just an awkward duet anyways.
4
That performance was god awful but I don't think it was Leona's fault. With all the weird performance art going on (girl with soccer ball walking on overzealous dancers?), I hope this isn't what we have to look forward to in 2012.

the performance was terrible. very mismatched.
she has a good voice and he obviously is great, BUT together, it kinda hurt my ears. :S
I remember thinking, "Well this sucks. Is it time for Mad Men yet?" She didn't sound good at all; but then again, I'm not really a fan of hers. She's too "pop" for me.

It echoed so badly that I couldn't understand it, nor could I really hear it. And I just wanted it to end because it sounded so bad. In fact, I thought the whole London presentation was really uninteresting and that duet was... weird. And let's throw David Beckham in for good measure! Uh, ok.

i love leona and i love led zeppelin so for me its such and intersting combo...plus next olympics are in london!!!
9
The echos and that outfit completely screwed it up.
10
it was an interesting combo.. kind of wierd actually. Leona Lewis does have a pretty voice (although I'm honestly not a fan of bleeding love).. and of Jimmy Page rocks! but it was just kind of wierd when you put them together.
11
It sounded like they were preforming two different songs.
12
Random and embarrassing. Maybe if they only had Jimmy Page ... but the whole thing was disappointing.
13
I didn't like this performance. I thought the entire London presentation was disappointing.
14
It took me the longest time to even figure out what song they were doing, it was just disjointed and odd.
(And really, if you want a performer to represent England on a global scale, do we have to say "Get Sir Paul or Sir Elton" more than once?)

I liked it, but I feel like I'm in the minority here. Also loved Leona's dress and Jimmy is a legend!
