Singapore Video Games Live Gaming Concert 2009

I see a cyber-gamer with his ears trapped between cool, white headphones and I know that here sits a man utterly immersed in a world of classical music. Cyber-gamers are amongst the most ardent fans of this fine art that’s said to be slowly dying. And now, here is an opportunity for cyber-gamers to enjoy their favorite pieces on stage.

On June 19th 2009, the Video Games Live Gaming Concert will be performing in Singapore. This year alone, it has performed at Burlington, Seattle, Taipei, Austin, Oakland, Kichener, Kalamazoo, Austin and Loveland to sold out crowds.

What’s wrong with Lin Miaoke lip-synching to Yang Peiyi’s singing?

The organizers decided Yang Pei Yi wasn’t pretty enough to be singing in front of the whole world for the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony.

So they got little Lin Miao Ke to lip-sync to Yang Pei Yi’s voice instead. To be honest, I didn’t see anything wrong with it until I found out how it happened.

Had the organizers said to Pei Yi,

“You have a beautiful voice, would you mind singing Ode to the Motherland for the opening ceremony?”

It would have been natural. But this wasn’t what happened.

Instead, they saw Pei Yi on stage and told her,

“Would you mind if we substitute your face with Lin Miao Ke’s? She has much better stage presence.”

Ouch!

Now that it has been said and done, what is most important is how Pei Yi took it.

Amazingly, Pei Yi could have seen it as a rejection and wallow in the hurt but she didn’t. Instead, Pei Yi thinks it is such an honor that they are using her singing for the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony at all.

What a humble little girl! I like her attitude! I have no doubt she will grow up to be a healthy and beautiful woman. :)

Cher to replace Celine Dion at Caesar’s Palace

Cher has always been known as the bad girl of rock and roll. Critiques don’t quite know where to put her. Cher herself admits, “singers don’t consider me a singer and actors don’t consider me an actor.” Cher is the woman who covered her body with tattoos long before it became fashionable among women in Hollywood.

On the other hand, Celine Dion grew up in a happy roman catholic home. No one will ever dispute that Celine Dion is an accomplished singer. After undergoing fertility treatments, Celine gave birth to a baby boy and released Miracle, an album described as “saturated with lullabies and other songs of maternal love and inspiration.”

In 2002 Dion signed a three-year, 600-show contract to appear five nights a week in an entertainment extravaganza, A New Day, at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. This was seen as “one of the smartest business decisions in years by any major recording artist.” In 2008, Celine Dion decided to quit this.

Guess who is taking over Celine Dion at Caesar’s Palace? That’s right folks, you can now buy tickets to see Cher in Las Vegas!
