Huang Yixin, front, and Wei Wei, back, former
college roommates from south China who last year found worldwide web notoriety
with their low-quality, high-hilarity lipsynching clips, 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]
