ExPitster Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Is it not Dinah Washington?? Really don't think so. The voice sounds too contemporary...although definitely some DW influence in the phrasing. I was assuming the narrator's voice and the singer's were one and the same...hope to get the answer from the BK insiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I really don't think the narration is Dinah Washington, but I could be wrong. Last year and the year before that the singing was done by a lady in New Zealand, I think. I can't remember her name, but I asked about it on BK's facebook. I suspect the same lady did this year's narration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Nice to see BK finally got a better ball. More shiny! And more importantly, without that ugly gray rectangular patch that I found so distracting in Erie, Pittsburgh, and Centerville. It's a shame that the stage remains a square rather than a circle. Not sure if the new ending is an improvement, except that it does mean less narration. Whoever she is, I don't think she's any good. But the music sounds great.

FYI the gray patch is still there and its still distracting, lol. I believe it serves the purpose of holding the ball in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? I was watching the ball closely last night and again just now: I even paused the semis video a couple times to check. There's a dark blue spot on the point opposite from which the guard member manipulates it, but the gray patch--which had looked like a bit of duct tape--really does seem to be gone.
