It took a bit of doing, but I finally managed to hammer out what I *think* is a complete list of all of the musicians/singers that appear, in order, in the “Welcome to Beijing” music video that was presented as a 100-day countdown theme before the 2008 Olympics in China. I had originally seen the video on YouTube, and wanted to know three of the artists that I thought were cute. I posted the inquiry on MetaFilter, and sharkfu came to the rescue, posting a listing he found of another Chinese YouTuber’s transcription of the list. I modified the list for English speakers and included time references, visual descriptions of the artists themselves to ensure clarity, and posted the list as a text file on my Project300k backup server. Enjoy!

Sorry man, but you (and sharkfu as well) are wrong about at least a third of these- the dude wagging his finger is a HUGE Chinese tv/movie star named Huang Xiaoming, the girl in the orange dress is the Taiwanese singer/actress Shu Qi, and the girl in white STANDING UP is model Lin Chi-ling, not the one sitting down with the other girls (whose name I have yet to uncover).
Don’t wanna be a dick, but people who saw the video but are unfamiliar with Chinese-language popstars will only be misled and confused if they read this blog entry.
Any chance you’d like to submit corrections? What good is saying it’s flawed without perfecting it? I am one such person unfamiliar with all of the artists, I just transmogrified sharkfu’s listing into time-based increments with better descriptions..
