china: the new milli vanilli
blame it on the rain? nah, just on china i think.
it was funny how the editors sitting around the morning news meeting yesterday were astounded at how so many young singaporean-chinese were identifying with the beijing games, and vicariously soaking in the glory of china's triumphant blaze of glory on the world stage; the opening ceremony of beijing 2008.
looks like the motherland has let them down again. seems that the "glorious firework footprints" were nothing more than a high tech sham.
hey, they cite safety as an example, "We could not put the helicopter pilot at risk by making him try to follow the firework route," said an advisor to the Beijing Olympic Committee. a bit of a stretch, but an excuse we MIGHT be able to swallow.
but this?!?!?!
one of the cutest kids in china didn't quite have the voice to pull it off, and the kid with the voice of an angel turns out to have a chubby face and uneven teeth.
why choose one when you can have both?
shades of milli vanilli and ashlee simpson, not in front of a live studio audience, or even the english speaking world, but in front of an estimated 4 BILLION views across the globe?
that is a mega ouch, and no matter how you swing it, it damages your credibility no end. we wanted to believe, but i guess the beauty of china, at this stage, is still only skin deep.
