1. The Beauty contest discribed in the song
2. the original performance from the "Pavarotti and Friends" concert
3. a tour through the streets of war-torn Sarajevo, under gunfire from the nearby troops
"The idea was simple, instead of doing what the news does, which is entertain you, I wanted to do something that the news rarely does, make a person care about the issue...I wanted young people in Europe to see the people in the war, I didn't want them to see politicians or religious leaders or military spokesmen."—Bill Carter
think about it:
- how many times a week do you watch the news?
- if you wanted to to get something out there how would you do it?
- Bill wanted to grab peoples attention, give them an insight on how the people of sarajevo are felling, what they were going through.
- you would feel larger sence of apathy towards the situation if you could see what was happening rather than read it in the news paper. for example you don't realize how bad something can be until you experience it through reality or live it through someone elses eyes.
- Bill wanted the people of sarajevo(who had been cut off for about a year in a half) to have a voice.
