Like A Teapot

A nice song and theme. During the opening ceremony, with the pictures of the children, this was really heartwarming.
I liked particularly that she sang in chinese and he sang in english.

Glad you like it. The director of the opening ceremony is the famous Chinese film director Zhang Yi Mou. His team did a good job.

Many peopel are not pleased with the choice of the Chinese singer, including myself.

It is hard to know what the heck they were singing about without knowing the lyrics. The sound effect at the stadium was not very good - too weak - in my opinion.

I'll try to add the music later. It's a good song. The more I hear it, the more I like it.

The choice of a movie director is not surprising, as it was a very theatrical event. They surely did a good job.
When I saw it live, the first time, I didn't even hear he sang in english. I only noticed that on the recapture, later.
Commentators here said he is a popular singer, hence the choice I suspect.
Maybe inspired by the Mercury/Cabballé duets.
Yes the choice of the song is good as a theme.
Any word on the release of a dvd?

DVD has been officially released, two days after the ceremony. Priced reasonably at 55 yuan, which is considered lower middle level.

It is a good price. I guess it will be a lot higher when it comes to Sweden. I am going to Beijing/Hainan in november. My last visit was in march this year, I am looking forward, hope I can enter birds nest this time

at the heart of any lyric is an artist, a poet. the singers' voices bring the art to light in their own artistic talents. the director's talents form the final show! that is one cool combination of teamwork and creativity, imo!

that was beautiful! just beautiful!
