I only ask cuz' speculation about Rain singing the Olympic theme song seems to be ping-ponging back & forth. Personally, I stand where I stood before; I'm happy & excited for Rain. Although I'm Chinese, I definitely don't respresent China.

We could've gotten together/party sometimes. We both luv the same styles of music. Both Jay & Leehom are so incredibly versatile, but if i have to choose one, i pick Leehom of course. Er, Show Lou? No. He's not my cup of tea. Plus, when he sings live, his voice tends to go out of tune/off-pitch.<BR/>Hmmm..but what do u think about the Twins (Charlene choi & gillian)? i dunno; they're aren't bad but I find them to be quite a bored. As for HK singers, I don't have any real favorites these days. I don't really care for Sammy Cheng, Edison Chen (i honestly like him better as an actor), etc. <BR/>Say, why wouldn't they invite Leehom? technically, he's Asian American (born in NY)<BR/>Anyway, can't wait to see the entire list of all the international performers for this grand event :]ladidanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032501670292723848.post-30041316343209734392008-01-06T19:34:00.000+08:002008-01-06T19:34:00.000+08:00I am not familiar with pop singers - i am only familiar with taiwanese and HK singers. and korean ones of course *cheeky grin *<BR/>Not sure how mainland chinese pride will take to taiwanese/HK or korean singers gracing the occasion.<BR/><BR/>LOL at the remark, "It's Ming-ing"<BR/>Thank goodness it's the real thing and not the rain wannabe ;)frauleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032501670292723848.post-90094512251533845882008-01-06T19:10:00.000+08:002008-01-06T19:10:00.000+08:00Ladida<BR/><BR/>I like Lee Hom & Jay too. In my opinion, Lee Hom's music is wicked! And Jay, oh Jay what more can you say? His songs and lyrics have been grown men turn into fans because they can relate. I dun see how China will allow either of them to be the "official" singer of the Games because of the relations between Beijing and Taiwan (ahem, dun wanna start a political debate here)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hey, we have 3 fave male artistes in common (rain, jay and lee hom)<BR/>Just to check, i dun like Show Lou, do you ?<BR/><BR/>In any case, rain could be one of many artistes asked to perform, the performances are not exclusive, i believe.<BR/><BR/>It would be great if he could do a ricky martin ala the 2004 world cup.

He's all about his body and his dance. But to put him as the voice of the official olympic song is LUDICROUS. I don't care if Korea and China have strong ties. China has hundreds of singers with better voices than him and can represent the country correctly. I would have NO PROBLEM if the olympics were held in Korea and he was chosen. But to have him represent China is complete BS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032501670292723848.post-60475646969162233872008-01-06T04:14:00.000+08:002008-01-06T04:14:00.000+08:00Gratz to Rain, But i'm not a big fan of his singing.

Both are marvelously talented. Both write their own songs. Jay can attract a sellout crowd of 70000. LeeHom (very attractive man) debuted in Lust, Caution which might possibly get an Oscar Nomination for best foreign film. So choosing either one of these two to sing the theme song would've been great too. <BR/>Anyway, I'm just grateful to the Chinese Olympic Officials for allowing Rain to participate at the Beijing 2008 Olympic. I'm sure Rain felt very honoured when he got the call. Afterall, this opportunity is a once in a lifetime for any singer. Whether or not he performs the theme song, I just hope this announcement won't anger China (well not too much to lead them to revolt). I understand why some people here are against the idea of having a non-Chinese sing at the Beijing Olympics. But don't get mad, Olympics game represents the WORLD. Like someone else said earlier, other foreign singers will perform as well. So let's sit back & enjoy the game :)ladidanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032501670292723848.post-27172656226170613682008-01-06T01:46:00.000+08:002008-01-06T01:46:00.000+08:00At least it's not Ming-ing!<BR/>hahahlollawlz XDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032501670292723848.post-17847149924245846302008-01-06T00:23:00.000+08:002008-01-06T00:23:00.000+08:00Ehh, well.. gratz to Rain..<BR/>Though since it's in China I'd prefer to have LeeHom as the singer, but, oh well ^^<BR/>Rain is good too, I guess ^^Arienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032501670292723848.post-14764141038100789852008-01-05T22:22:00.000+08:002008-01-05T22:22:00.000+08:00wow, this is totally wonderful!<BR/>To tell the truth, i never expect this at all.
