Why should Sarah Brightman sing the Olympic theme song?

It doesn’t matter who sings the Olympic theme song

Music is the most common language in the world, so the theme song of each Olympic Games naturally attracts much attention. It is a symbol that connects the progress of the Olympic Games and is integrated with many wonderful moments and wonderful memories.

I once told my friends that "Forever Friends" by Sun Nan and Li Min (Zhang Huimei) will definitely be the theme song of this Olympics. There are three reasons: First, the composer of this song is no small matter. The Chinese and Western combination of Kong Xiangdong and Lao Mo perfectly interprets the theme of the Olympic Games, One World, One Dream. It is a song that can make the whole world arouse *** Songs that sing, but at the same time, they still have a Chinese flavor. Second, so far, "Forever Friends" is the only Olympic song that has both Chinese and English versions. Finally, the words of teacher Kong Xiangdong are worth pondering. He said straightforwardly to Sun Nan: "This song can make you an international superstar." He also said in "Tell the Truth" that this song has surpassed "Hand in Hand".

If it were just an ordinary Olympic song, without the big stage of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, could Sun Nan become an international superstar? If a song has surpassed the classic "Hand in Hand", can't it still become the Olympic theme song? Therefore, I still believe that "Forever Friends" will be sung at the Bird's Nest on the night of August 8th.

However, even if it is confirmed to be "Forever Friends", it is still hard to say who will sing it. Two days ago, it was reported that "Moonlight Lady" Sarah Brightman stayed at a hotel near the Bird's Nest and is likely to be one of the singers of the theme song. There is absolutely no problem with Sarah's international recognition, and her musical skills are also very good, but her disadvantage is that she is not well-known domestically, and some people will definitely ask why foreigners should sing the theme song for the Olympic Games hosted by the Chinese. . Coco Lee once sang at the Oscars, and her English skills are good, and she has international recognition, but her singing of this song is not as good as Zhang Huimei's (this is not what I said, but what Teacher Kong said). The biggest problem for Amei is the lack of international recognition. As for male singers, Sun Nan is still the biggest candidate because of Teacher Kong’s words. However, as Lao Mo said, Sun Nan's English is not good, and people can't tell whether he is singing in Chinese or English when he sings songs. This is a big problem. However, not counting international superstars, there seems to be no domestic male singer who can perform English songs perfectly.

To be honest, it doesn’t really matter who sings the theme song, it’s just a technical issue. What matters is which theme song it is, this is a matter of realm. After so many Olympic Games, we don’t remember the people who sang the theme songs, but we can still remember those moving melodies.
