    It seems like they're creating an "official album" for the olympics and trying trying to pick out a "theme song". anyways, there's quite a few artists competing and i could only find some related songs on youtube (not sure if all of them are competing). if they're more to add any songs related.

    The only one I like is Andy Lau's. The other ones....have bad tunes (in my humble opinion). The singing...is okk I guess. I dun get why it's mostly popstars though. Why can't they get some more decent singers?

    I liked the start of Andy Lau's song, when the lyrics were about how 'my road wasn't the same as your road, my life hasn't been the same as your life'...I felt it was a great analogy to to China's development, and how it has come despite all of the naysayers and despite all the arguments of Western economists to the contrary (the same ones who advised 'shock therapy' treatment for Russia...yeah right!). Sadly, the rest of it devolved into what seems to be a bit of a mindless feel-good song (everyone is number 1? wtf?).

    "Welcome to Beijing" rocks. The 5566 song just comes off as... awkward. "Hero" is nice, but it seems too focused on a singular subject.

    "Cheers for Life" and "站起來" are very good, too.

    Jay Chou's song is... well... very nice. I like the music and lyrics very much, but no... I have to say that... there's no Olympic feel in this song...

    Leehom has got a beautiful song and the lyrics are awesome, although the music is too pop just like Jay's. The lyrics are the only part of the song that's got the Olympic feel as a result.

    Haven't heard all the songs except Lee Hom's, Jay's and Emil's. Emil Chau's is my fav so far, like the catchy piece.
