Published on 02/16/2018

German skater Paul Fentz has left many Oasis fans split during his performance at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

When performing this past weekend, Fentz used a jazz version of “Wonderwall,” one of the Gallagher brothers’ biggest hits. The cover was recorded by Paul Anka.

Unsurprisingly, the reactions of fans on social networks were well divided. You can check out some excerpts from the presentation just below, as well as an older video of a Fentz performance using the music in another tournament.

This was the first edition of the Olympics where participants could use song lyrics in their presentations. In addition to Wonderwall, athletes used songs such as Benjamin Clementine’s “Nemesis,” “Christina Perri’s” A Thousand Years, “and Ed Sheeran’s” Make It Rain. ”

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
