I know it's a bit late but here's a video I received in my e-mail. I thought it was a nice watch, and good enough to share. So here it is:

It is. Taipei 101 retains the official title until the Burj Dubai is completed.

I found this one more creative, but the Taipei one looks better.

No such thing as "official title". Burj Dubai right now is already ~90m taller, who gives a crap if it's under construction.

Either way not to stray from the thread: the music sucks and ruined the whole show. The fireworks was good though.

Yes there is. International architectural standards define a "building" as a structure that can be occupied. A building under construction, such as the Burj Dubai, cannot be occupied, and therefore is not considered as a building just yet.

On a side note, i thought the music fit the occasion and was quite good.

At the end of the day, Burj Dubai is still taller, so who gives a rats ass what some organization classifies it as :p

btw ... Isn't the Sears tower taller than Taipei 101? 527m vs 509m (measured at the top of the spire/antenna)?!?

That's because Taiwan is not a part of China
Also there are state controlled churches in China (PRC).
