"Beijing Welcomes You"

As the candidate theme song for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, this song was performed by superstars from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, U.S., and Korea at many famous historical locations across Beijing. The artists and locations are listed below in chronological order. Hmm... I wonder why I haven't seen this video yet anywhere on TV? Maybe it's only shown in Asia... But in any case, they sure make Beijing look so much nicer than it really is. OMG... blue skies!
