Heard Elope to the moon by Mayday feat Cheer Chen & marginally prefer it to Leehom feat Selina only cos it dun remind me of an old Teresa Deng song. But the mv is even better. I nvr had so much fun watching a mv before. First off it started with fingers tapping on a keyboard & familiar msger beep much like Marry Me Today yet unlike it cos it has absolutely nothing to do with what come after. Maybe it kinda throwing down the gauntlet to DT - I can outsappy you any day :P Then random shots of Ashin, Cheer & the rest of the band & beginning to look like a shampoo cm with slow mo shots of Cheer's long tresses. Now I used to admire Cheer cos she was a bit different from most other Chinese female singers with more character than cuteness. Here she is reduced to be the generic, sweetfaced Taiwanese songbird with a rockband. Still she looks very pretty. By this time the song dun matter much as its not really a duet, just a poppy song with Cheer singing backup.
Now we come to the best part - little creepy white dophins drifting all over the place! I nvr knew dophins can look so creepy. It finally ended with Cheer standing next to a ginormous creepy white dolphin looking more like a creepy beached whale. Anyway I got the msg - Mayday is an environmentally friendly rockband & the mv is probably abt the real white chinese dolphin called baiji living in the Yangtse River which had gone extinct last yr at the hand of mankind. Although much prefer the directness & honesty of Artic Monkey who wondered why anyone would be interested in the opinion of rockbands on environmental issues "especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical." Mayday just held 3 concerts in TW each with a dazzling display of stage lighting. Not getting at Mayday but just a bit tired of singers & bands getting on the environmental bandwagon without knowing much abt what it entails. Mind you David's concerts were just as bad but at least he did not have creepy white dolphins in his mv ^__^
