Uh, Kind Of… Speechless.
Found this, uh, classic homemade (assumedly so…) music video on Facebook:
Earnestly speaking… Me, uh…really don’t know what to say. >.<
*silence*
Okay, okay, I’ll try my best to be, uh, kind, and make it, uh, short and sweet. *sweat*
While one might applaude the, uh, spirit of all those involved, the issue of originality is seriously at stake here, no kidding, not to mention copyright. The minus-one version of the original song is obviously reused (wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a pirated copy too…), just check out the vocal accompaniment especially when it comes to the chorus.
And I wonder how many of them actually had the town in their heart and mind as they went about the masterpiece. Sigh. Probably a small shot at fame for some of them or perhaps the wrong kind of can-do spirit… I know because I was such a person in the past. *sweat* Let’s just say I’ve finally grown out of it and know much better now. I honestly hope so. *cross fingers*
If it’s really homemade, then that would explain the lack of professionalism. The vocals, the gestures, the recording, the editing… Feel free to add more to the list. *what* Even so, I think it could’ve been so much better if more serious effort were poured into it. Alas, it was not to be. If it’s the work of a professional… Well, no eye see, no words to describe.
I’m unpleasantly surprised that someone actually uploaded it on YouTube. I believe I’m not the only one.
What was the dude thinking huh??

oh .. another post condemning this pathetic video. ha ha ha .. i think the fella didn’t mean to upload it. i think he’s going to take it down and cry after this .. and come with another copy – blue ray disc one .. ha ha ha
autumn: haha, u shd have seen the comments on YouTube. nah, he ain’t gonna cry, dun even know if he’s going to take it down, haha. if he’s the typical stubborn sibu-ian, he’ll probably think ppl out thr just dunno how to appreciate the video, that’s all =P
nooooooo, spareeeeee us~~
cibol says:
i read somewhere some people say – it’s touching and reminds me of home. Ha ha ha .. maybe not to you … or me
autumn: pity.. instead of making me proud, or even homesick, the effect is so the opposite.. if only they were more original lahhh, aiyoh…
suituapui says:
Ya…I saw the video. Somebody posted it on Facebook. Thought it was quite horrible. Gave up watching after a while…
autumn: haha, another one who detests it >.<
lotus says:
Well.. for me, I think I applaud their guts.. after all, I cant sing or act like them not more to say uploaded to youtube..
autumn: yes, tat’s one of the very few good comments i read about the video
dun u tink it’s a pity tat all those got overshadowed by the issue of originality? the original song is, after all, the beijing olypmic theme song leh… we have a lot of talents in the town, no kidding, if only they’d tried harder to get more good talents to produce good music and a better video, sigh…
lotus says:
Argue all you want, you seem to enjoy defending yourself so much. None of my business. Gah!!
autumn: whoa, cool down, dude, din mean to upset u and was not picking up a fight with u, okay… tat was just my point of view, u dun have to take it if u dun want to… but next time, use ur own words, can ah? ==”’
sorry if i offended u, okay?
cibol says:
ha ha ha .. lotus, the originality issue is what we were debating here and now this? what a joke
autumn: yalor ==”’
