[amadeus]

Just finished watching the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Cannot help feeling proud for China and its people. China has arrived.

Freaking amazing show they put up!!!

 

[slurpoyster]

i boycotting the sham games. the CCP has broken as many promises as they had promised when bidding to host it. nothing against the people just. the CCP & IOC.

 

[DonJuanDemarco]

Alamak, olympic is olympic la bro, all about sports la. Just try to enjoy the competitions held

 

[Ah Guan]

Yeah they raised the bar really high.

No hosting country will ever match this opener ....

Freaking amazing show they put up!!!

It was spectacular, unexpected of the Chinese. But then, they've got Steven Spielberg & Zang Yi Mou producing the show, so one shouldnt be surprised.

The Chinese need a Jew to organise things for them? That's pathetic.

BEIJING - THE 29th Olympic Games, costing an estimated US$40 billion (S$56 billion) and shrouded by political controversies, burst into life on Friday with a spectacular start to the opening ceremony.

Make me wonder where our donated funds go too

I actually feel very embarrassed for the Chinese. They need an Ang Moh to manage the whole ceremony. They put up items like Cheer leaders which is 100% AMERICAN culture. They even need an Ang Moh (Sarah Brightman) to sing in Chinese for them!!!???:(

1.2 billion people and they can't even find a singer better than a brit Babe who had her heyday in the 80s?

1.2 billion people and they have to do American cheerleader routines?

1.2 billion and nobody as talented as Jew in putting a show together???

How pathetic.

i missed the Opening.
was still at office,struggling to finish an assignment.

 

[shOUTloud]

the show is amazing. I dun mind paying for a DVD to watch in future. almost everything is spectacular.

the fireworks were ridiculously extravagant, the footprints fireworks was also amazing.

the painting idea is very innovative and eye catching

last but the most impt thing of all, the number of PRC chiobus on the field is amazing. they are not just pretty, the amazing thing is there are of a certain height and looks. big advantage of having one billion pple to choose from.

I dun think China themselves will ever be able to top last night's performances. Such a show requires concentrated efforts of an authoritarian govt to splash the cash and whack the rest into a coordinated performance

SAm, did u watch the show? I missed the cheerleader part and did catch Sarah Brightman. I thot the show was sufficiently Chinese although they must have a lot of western help for the pyrotechnics and audio visual effects.

still thinking of the hundreds of chio bus.

 

[supert105]

The opening ceremony, did Chinese Taipei team appeared ? counted 203 contingents, but the speech said 204 ? Taiwan boycotted or something happened ?

 

[Sideswipe]

Chinese Taipei did appear in the opening ceremony.

They should have used this flag

Afterall, the Chinese Communist forces fought under this flag in WWII.

Wah lau, the fireworks to them is like lighting a box of matchstick!

there r 6.5b in ze world ... 1.2b in china ... 5.3b elsewhere ... 5.3b ppl n 'dey cant even find a singer betta than a brit babe who hd her heyday in ze 80s' ... pathetic, rite ...

there were ancient terracotta soldiers, chinese opera, beijing opera puppetry, female dancers dressed in tang-era clothing, han dynasty-era performers representing ze 3000 disciples of confucius, wearing feathered headgears and carrying bamboo slips ... n much, much more ... but u oni ogle @ cheerleaders ... pathetic, rite ...

ze director of ze opening ceremony is chinese filmmaker zhang yimou ... he is nt a jew ...

 

[DonJuanDemarco]

yeah, i thought the jew last min withdraw his participation due to pressure from the states?

 

[angry_one]

Speilberg withdrew his participation long ago, as a protest against Darfur.

Sarah Brightman idea was to sing together with this fat chink singer as a 'blend of east and west'

But yes, no democratic cuntry can ever match this kind of effort.

 

[melster2008]

regarding the duet between sarah brightman and the chinese dude, did you guys notice how plain his clothes were.

Sarah was dressed up like the Oscars and her duet partner looks like an ah beng by the roadside squatting down and spitting on the floor!!!

at least have the decency to wear something more appropriate than a back t-shirt. You are singing the offical song of the Games in your own country!!!

i think they just want to please those westerners.
