Very beautiful, I would like to buy the CD, can I get it in UK ?
I loved the Olympics, and the presentation was stunning, and so well presented, and organised, that I can’t help but feel that London will just not be able to compete, with such genius !

The beautiful song is just a small part of a great success. The 2008 Beijing Olympics was sponsored by the whole country of 1.3 billion people. It was the best Olympics ever. A city like London can never compete with.

Truly touching. Though I haven’t heard any of the other opening songs, I’m sure this one is the best!
