English listing of artists from promotional video of Chinese 2008 Olympics?

July 14, 2008 1:53 PM

Is there an English listing of all of the artists found in the China 2008 Olympics promotional video/theme?

Specifically, I'd like to know the artists from 2:59, 3:24, and 4:00.. but I'm sure a listing of everyone would be helpful to more than just myself ^_^
