Thanks, Dawg, for your "research". Surely China West and Emma will be engaging in a bidding war for you services. BTW, both have done BEP, China West had a whole Robbie Williams tour scheduled before he cancelled the Asian leg, U2 and Sting will NEVER get visas to play here (see Tibet), and Madonna and JT arent likely either, insiders say they are on a list of banned artists. And Blue!? I hope your 14 and a girl. You have obviously never tried to put on a concert in China, or anywhere else for that matter, and no choosing a cd to play whilst your in the tub is not promoting a concert. Thanks needledick

Not too sure that the guys at China west or Emma are doing their market research on who people want to see here whenever i have this conversation with friends pople say the same thing, they want to see Blue,Robbie Williams,U2 (never get a visa for them) Coldplay, BEP,Sting,Madonna,JLo, JT etc Wasnt Linken and Avril here the same time last year ? and i thought George benson died years ago, hes gotta be 70 something now? Heres a clue to all you muppets out there, if you want to have international artisits playing in shanghai and bj, then do some MARKET RESEARCH or get a FOREIGNER in your Marketing Dept who knows what hes doing and get some decent artists over here. China West, you have one last chance before your company dies a loooong slooooow death from boring us with your crap artists and emma isnt far off either
