The above is the 'supposedly' multi-racial music video for the Singapore pavilion at the World Expo. Even the pavilion is shaped like a music box. The message from the Singapore pavilion is to showcase the 'other-side' of Singapore's sub-culture, which is music and arts.

However, I have to agree with some of the netizens regarding the video. This is like telling 'some people'....... YOU FARKERS CAN WIN ALL THE SINGING COMPETITIONS AND SUCH, WE ARE STILL CALLING THE SHOTS, AND CONTROLLING THE BUSINESS. So, there you go.... more singing competition not to find better talents but help the Telco's, broadcasters and in-betweens, becoming instant billionaires. Vote some more la.....

On a different note, I would love to see Wicked Aura Batucada, Kumar, Jive Talking, street performers/artistes and struggling musicians in a 'real-music-video'..... something upbeat, and not sorrowful, emotional melodies. No disrespect to JJ, Steph and Tanya, I'm sure they deserved the accreditation. In fact, I was a fan of Tanya Chua until she traded her cowboy boots with the stilletos.

It would be fun to see a Filipino band singing a Mandarin song at the Pavilion. Then, the pavilion guides and Singapore representatives are all represented by staff from Shanghai and Beijing. No wonder I got stranded at San Fran airport for suspicion of holding a Singapore passport. Apparently, they claimed that I don't look 'Singaporean' to hold that passport.

Btw, to all those involved in the setting up and construction of the Singapore pavilion....... "Job well done!!" - you know who you are.
