...work to do if it wants applause in 2016. True, athletes will compete in such iconic venues as the Maracanã soccer stadium--the largest in South America--while rowers and triathletes will ply Rio's blue waters beneath the outstretched arms of the titanic Christ the Redeemer statue. But many of the venues for the 2016 Games--including the João Havelange Olympic Stadium, where track-and-field events will take place--don't meet IOC standards or will require extensive renovations.

The stage version spawned three Top 10 hits - "One Night in Bangkok," "Nobody's Side" and "I Know Him So Well" - and impressed many listeners as having the richest score of the decade. Or, he added defiantly, any decade since.
