Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank god I have Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer to narrate it for me and explain what's going on. Otherwise I could just enjoy the spectacle.

The Queen may have done her lifetime quota of public professional smiling already. She's just glaring from here on in.
Gary Barlow was on Graham Norton talking about designing the concert and filming the music video, and he was so freaking adorable. And he described cribbing every detail before meeting the Queen, and she slammed him with two really practical "how do I leave" "when does this end" questions he had no clue how to answer.
