college roommates from south China who last year found worldwide web notoriety
with their low-quality, high-hilarity lipsynching clips, get ready to perform
one of their famous numbers during a recording session in Beijing, China
Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2006. Their mock music videos draw millions of Internet
viewers and thousands of fawning reviews by fans who declare them hilarious,
talented, cute, and hot. They posted their first 'performance,' a 4.5 minute
clip of lipsynching to the Backstreet Boys hit 'I Want It That Way,' to their
college intranet in March 2005. It quickly migrated to big sites like YouTube
and Google Video and fast became one of the most watched and highest rated
amateur clips online. [AP]
