More on JJ at the Beijing Olympics

Remember JJ’s friends shouting the names of Singapore food at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony? JJ gave a demonstration of what they did in this interview with ourvoicebox.sg.

They also have footage of him coming onstage at the Raffles City celebration with his (flameless) torch.

Singapore may not have any gymnasts competing at the Beijing Olympics but…

They played JJ’s 曹操Cao Cao at one of the men’s gymnastics events!

A-do and JJ on Beijing Olympics opening ceremony

cnhan.com report: http://www.cnhan.com/gb/content/2008-08/18/content_919551.htm
(retrieved from youyou)

While watching the live telecast, A-do said that it was as if what was on the TV screen was in a dream; until he rubbed his eyes to be sure he was awake.

I was particularly amused (and so were the JJ fans when I posted this on the JJ board) by what happened at the Bird Nest when JJ got his friends, Jaycee Chan and S.H.E. to cheer for the Singapore contingent as they came out.

They ended up shouting, “Satay, Ya Kun (they sell local breakfast sets of kaya toast, half-boiled eggs and coffee) and pandan cake”! JJ didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Quite a number of non-Singaporean JJ fans responded, “Haha that is a very creative cheer!”

A-do at 14 August 2008 Coca Cola Olympics event

(A-do comes in at around 8:10.)

The songs he sang were 《坚持到底》Jian Chi Dao Di (Perseverance) and 《他一定很爱你》Ta Yi Ding Hen Ai Ni (He Must Love You A Lot)

Wow, looks like A-do gets lots of opportunities to appear at Olympic-related performances for this current Olympics. I really hope that he will get chances like these when we host the first Youth Olympics in 2010!

《北京欢迎你》Bei Jing Huan Yin Ni to be performed at tonight’s Olympics opening ceremony?

xin.sg article: http://www.xin.sg/article.php?article=22072

Since this is the Olympic song which A-do is a part of, and JJ who also sang this song mentioned that he will be there, let’s all keep our eyes (and ears) out for A-do tonight!

Singapore telecast of Olympics opening ceremony
Channel 5: 8pm

PS: The Hong Kong stars mentioned in the xin.sg report did sing, but it was not telecast by CCTV and Mediacorp. JJ was invited as a guest to watch the ceremony by an Olympic sponsor.

But as my friend Ping says, to be selected as one of the 100 stars to record the song is already a great honour as a Chinese Singaporean.

A-do’s Olympic songs

A-do is one of the 100 Chinese stars chosen to record《北京欢迎你》Beijing Huan Ying Ni (Beijing Welcomes You), which was subsequently performed in Beijing on 30 April, 100 days before the Olympics on 8 August.

Due to an error in the mastering (if I translated correctly) process, there is another version with A-do singing both his own lines and JJ’s lines (the lyrics displayed on most of the web pages are correct).

Another song A-do recorded was《唱响世界》Chang Xiang Shi Jie with the other OB artistes.

It was originally《聆听世界》Ling Ting Shi Jie, recorded for the 15th anniversary of OB’s Malaysian branch.
