Music video for “You and Me”, the Beijing Olympics official theme song which was revealed at the opening ceremony on Friday night, sang by Chinese singer Liu Huan and British singer Sarah Brightman…

To be honest, the song is just ok. Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman did well, but the song doesn’t really appeal for me. I like the lyrics, but the music is too soft and lack the ‘wow’ factor.

    Judging various people’s comments seems to be your fun, Hah, Yein Jee? Or Mr. Wise?

    Miranda… I am not trying to be wise… just emphasising my thoughts.

    And I am not here to judge the comments; this is my blog and I think it’s a polite thing to reply to comments whether I am agreeing with it or not.

    There are cases where I agree with the comments, and obviously there are times when I don’t.

    Sorry, it supposes to be Mr. Polite.

    Whatever… I am not expecting everyone to like me or for whatever I’ve said and done. Some people like it, some don’t, and some will hate it to the core… it’s a fact of life my dear.

    Titan… no worries, China will see more visitors year by year. I am sure Nanjing will become one of the major tourism cities.

    Aussie… well, the parade can’t be help… we have 200+ countries coming in, and I think the organisers did their best in this case to make the flow as smooth as possible.

    Yeah, it was great seeing Sarah and she was beautiful! I was confused whether Sarah was singing in Mandarin Chinese or in English. The song is very pretty but if it was sung louder. The ceremony was awesome and I’m still learning and loving the Chinese culture.

    The Openning ceremony is exciting, but I guess I got used to Zhang Yimo’s massive scale. Thought I felt it is a bit Chauvinistic . But this song is awe-inspiring. I was instantly touched .I guess after many years , I would only remember that moment. I just wish I could be there at that time, It will be a memory for life.

    i think this song fits the olympics perfectly. the melody was played over and over again on the nbc channel in america. it’s a song with a meaning of unity of all the nations coming together to compete peacefully. not only nations coming unifying together but every race sharing this event as a family. it’s perfect. way better than lots of other songs in previous olympics like gloria estefan and etc. awesome olympics. it serves as an exemplary of what every future olympics should be.
