NEWSWEEK is a dying magazine. TIME is the best, and is killing NEWSWEEK. Grand Rapids is a great city.

Wow! Thanks Martin.

The visual is great -- but everything was obviously lip synced to a pro recording. I wonder what the real sounds were like. Surely some of those musicians had talent. Newsweek should respond.

Yes, it was lip synced. The title is Grand Rapids Lipdub. I agree with you that some of the musicians must have talent, but many of them were local celebrities. The mayor, a weatherman and others I can't think of right now were all in it. The singing and so on wasn't the point of the video. It was supposed to show how the city is "cool" and vibrant.
