New wonder: Christ the Redeemer?

Question

Some people say it shouldnt have been a new wonder, what do you think?

Answer 1

Ive been twice to Rio and I love the Statue. It is a beautiful work of art and, as I have said before in other questions like this one, this was a popular vote by the people of the world, not a competition jedged by a panel of experts on cultural things. If the Statue got voted as a new wonder is because of the excellent campaign done by presiden Lula and because millions of brazilians voted for it! Whether we agree or not, it's a popular vote, and the people voted for this statue so we have to respect their choice.
